By Mike Fahey Battlefield: Bad Company knows what it wants to do and does it. The gameplay is simple and easy to wrap your mind around, but opens up to a lot of different strategies. The explosions are visceral and fun, and the game looks great too. Yeah, I bitched about the color palette, but there are moment...

By ahmad The battle for tennis videogame supremacy mirrors the real life rivalry between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.

By Mike Fahey Sixteen years and three lackluster sequels later, Infogrames subsidiary Atari and developer Eden Games attempt to breath new life (and new death) into the series with an all-new Alone in the Dark, featuring a strangely displaced Edward Carnby in a modern-day setting.

By XanTium Vista Media Center really sets itself apart from any other DVR solution out there, and the single greatest advantage Vista Media Center (VMC) has over the other options -- like the TiVo HD -- is the ability to have multiple Media Center Extenders. There really isn't any better way out there...

By JasonBuffington Chessmaster – I had recently purchased Chessmaster Live from Xbox Live for my sons and I to play in single-player mode, when we couldn’t play each other (read the review from Duncan in an earlier Xbox Dad column). But since I travel a lot and my Xbox 360™ doesn’t work at 30,000 feet, my kids bou...

By Kenneth England Revivals of classic games can always be a dicey affair, resulting in a version of a game that is poorly translated, too out of sync with modern gaming or just plain sucks. Luckily for Xbox 360 owners the newest Arcade offering from Capcom, Commando 3, is none of these things.

By Joe Haygood George got so deep into Halo 3 this month that the Covenant couldn’t even find him, so I am going to try to fill in his MJOLNIR shaped boots for the Ones to Watch on the Xbox 360 in the month of June.  There is a rather large list of games coming to those that [...]

This is the first true sequel to the Xboxen Uno's Ninja Gaiden since Ninja Gaiden Black and Ninja Gaiden Sigma were sort of remixes of the first game. Well I shouldn't say the first Ninja Gaiden game since Tecmo also made an arcade game back in the 80s, three sweet 8-bit Nintendo games, a PC Eng...

Last week the hands down biggest game of the year came out. Grand Theft Auto IV is the first true sequel to Grand Theft Auto III and is a game that is not rivaled in ambition or execution. Built from scratch for Xbox 360 and PS3 it blows away all previous GTA game in scope and scale.

Last winter one of the biggest features that Microsoft rolled out in the 2007 Winter Xbox 360 Dashboard update was Xbox Originals. Now that I upgraded to a 120-Gig hard drive I decided that is was time to try them out. They should not only release more games faster but they should put some game p...

By James Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword is the heavily anticipated handheld only follow-up to Ninja Gaiden, which was first on the Xbox and then re-made as Ninja Gaiden Black and Ninja Gaiden Sigma. All those games were virtually the same title, with some added missions and–in some cases–enhanced gra...

By James first checked out SEGA Superstars Tennis about a month ago at SEGA’s Sweet Celebration event, which also showcased Condemned 2: Bloodshot and Viking: Battle for Asgard.

By James Last and most important, Bully: Scholarship Edition will be professional patched, and I believe it will be as good as we had all hoped–for everyone. Just four years ago, a little game called Halo 2 came out, and it was riddled with bugs. But that didn’t stop a ton of people from buying it. After t...

By James More often than not, you will fail at one or all of these things, unless you’re born with some extra sensory skills.

By James Share This Frontlines: Fuel of War proves that publishers can sometimes sabotage their own effort by choosing the wrong level to demo.

By James Share This Lost Planet: Extreme Condition first came out on the Xbox 360 back in January 2007. In October of last year, Geek.com learned the title would be released on PlayStation 3.

Since then, the Xbox 360 has seen mo...

Conclusion: Why Pick On Poor Assassin's Creed?

That's not saying Nintendo has the better idea, but it's a lot more attainable for a lot of publishers and developers than throwing tens of millions into a game and hoping they get the next Gears of War / Halo / GTA.
