Need for Speed: Most Wanted (PS3) – Review

More like “Unwanted Branding”

I have not had to write a disclaimer for a review in a long time, but I think it is going to be necessary in this case.  I am a huge fan of the Burnout Series as well as Criterion Games as a whole.  I completed Burnout Paradise twice, including all of the DLC released [...]

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City (PS3, X360) – Review

Now, if only that fire would engulf the game disc

Ever since Capcom hit the nail on the head with Resident Evil 4′s excellent gameplay (The power of good over the shoulder camera angles!!), excellent story, and likable characters, everyone in the world thought they would learn from their past mistakes and finally be able [...]

PlayStation Vita – Hardware Review

Driver: San Francisco – Review (PS3)

You are the Wheelman

There have been several Driver games released since its debut in 1999. In my opinion, there hasn’t been a good Driver game since 2000 with the sequel to the Original Driver game, Driver 2. Since that release there have only been a long list of disappointing Drive game releases ranging from [...]

Saints Row: The Third – Review (PS3)

Cover is a bit misleading…

Saints Row: The Third smashes its way through your console/PC like a bull in a china shop, except the bull can dual wield, perform over-the-top wrestling finishers, and is beating you to death with a Dildo-Bat.  SR3 knows it’s a videogame, and does everything in its power to play like [...]

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 – Review (PS3,360)

Surprisingly Not Bad

Surprise surprise, another year, another Call Of Duty. Activision loves making clockwork, coming back to its money-makers year after year. Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is the latest, and by far heaviest pushed, entry in the series. Millions of fans all over the world have waited for this game, only to [...]

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Review

Game of the Year 2011

What can I write about that has not been said, praised, or complained about already by millions over the world about this game? Realistically nothing. However, every videogame website needs a review of the latest and greatest, and after 100+ hours of mindnumbingly intense travel, exploration, combat, and roleplay I [...]

Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception – Review

Needs more half-tuck

I’ve been looking forward to Uncharted 3 since the ending credits of Uncharted 2.  It was my 2009 game of the year choice and it was well deserved.  There was a pull on your navel for every action packed moment, skirmish, and plot twist.  Not only was it entertaining and polished to [...]

Dead Island – Review

Hipsters and Pop'd Collars Undead

The first Dead Island trailer shook the gaming community and peaked everyone’s interest.  With games like Left 4 Dead and Dead Rising already on the market, how could another Zombie game from a relatively unknown publisher bring anything new and interesting to a quickly stagnating genre?  The trailer wasn’t the [...]

Catherine (PS3) – Review

Cheating = Death

“Catherine has appeared. It’s the killer, do not die.”. Words that are much easier to say than accomplish. I have long been a fan of the ATLUS Shin Megami Tensei team games including the Persona, Digital Devil Saga, Devil Summoner, Nocturne, Strange Journey, franchises. ATLUS has a unique signature art style from [...]

Street Fighter III: Third Strike Online Edition – Review

Welcome to the world of….

The Street Fighter III series unfortunately did not enjoy the same fame and fortune as its predecessor did, Street Fighter II.  It could be argued this was do to the lack of common interest in arcades at its release with the advent of console gaming, or it could be the [...]

Portal 2 – Review

Seconds before falling into an acid pit…..again.

“What?” you may be asking am I doing a Portal 2 review this late in the year for?  Did I not play the game when it was first released?  The answer to that is yes, I did complete the single player campaign and with the PlayStation Network outage [...]

Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition DLC – Review

Arcade Edition = 4-Pack

Many of you maybe saying “What Capcom? ANOTHER version of Street Fighter?”  Many of you are likely too young to remember the Super Nintendo days when new versions of Street Fighter were released every six months or so, leading to four releases on the Super Nintendo and numerous arcade cabinet revisions.  [...]

Video Review – Brutal Legend (PS3,X360)

Motorstorm Apocalypse – Video Review

Motorstorm Apocalypse – Review

The End is Nigh

Its still very early in the year, but I think its safe to say Motorstorm Apocalypse already is a contender for my game of the year 2011, and easily has become my favorite racing game of all time.  I cant remember when there was ever a time that a racing game [...]

The 3rd Birthday (PSP) – Review

Parasite Eve 3

It’s been eleven years since Parasite Eve 2 was released. I have long been waiting for The 3rd birthday ever since I saw a small article about it in a game magazine around two years ago. The small number of screen shots, and lack of real information, coupled with my love for [...]

Just Cause 2 (PS3,XB360) – Review

Rather Just BECause 2: Tales of Fire

I was quick to dismiss Just Cause 2 when it first was released as another “GTA Knockoff” and sequel to a subpar open world sandbox game, Just Cause 1.  I had played the first Just Cause on the Xbox 360 in the early days of this generation of [...]

BN-Games.com Site Update (Important Update)

Game Dev Story (Android/iOS) – Review

Code Monkeys like Fritos and Mountain Dew

Im not exactly an advocate for gaming on phones, but there is certainly something to be said about a game when I feel the need to write a review about it (Especially considering this is the first one).  Game Dev Story will suck hours away from your life [...]

Gran Turismo 5 – Gonna Need a Montage!

Bulletstorm – Video Review

You Don’t Know Jack (PS3) – Review

That bald head looks pretty good for its age.

During my time with this game, I have learned that I am no good at trivia games nor do I have any luck at guessing the right answer and scoring anyway.  Even though I tend to fail at doing well in You Don’t Know Jack almost [...]

LittleBigPlanet 2 – Review

So damn cute it should be illegal.

Sony begins its barrage of exclusive first party titles for 2011 with the highly anticipated LittleBigPlanet 2.  A game so significant, my Girlfriend purchased the collectors edition on day one (Thats a pretty big goddamn deal).  The original LittleBigPlanet was Sony’s first fray into the “Create, Play, Share” marketing and game design category.  The game [...]
