Given all the hype surrounding the new XBLA title, Braid, I had to see what it was all about and judge for myself whether it was warranted. So much like the other hoards of people, I downloaded the game (1200 points) and started in on my quest. After a day and a half of nearly non-stop play, I have beaten the game and can say with a certainty, I understand the hype.
About a week ago I heard all about this little game on Xbox Live Arcade and then few days ago, while doing some research, I found out that it ranked tenth for Xbox 360 games of all time, beating out some strong competitors. Then there is the price. At 1200 points, roughly 15-16 dollars, it was better than some games I have purchased for sixty-plus dollars.

I travel - a lot. Since I have to deal with planes, trains and automobiles regularly, keeping up with my PS3, Wii or 360 is not always an option. Having great games for my Nintendo DS and Sony PSP are a must. A few months ago I invested in a little nerd game called CrossworDS. I have been playing it ever since.
As a self-professed Achievement Hunter, I find that I will try almost anything when it comes to the Xbox 360, with other systems however, I am decidedly more careful. When I went in search of a new title, I saw that CrossworDS (at the time, just released) was a mere $19.99 and had crosswords, word search and anagrams. The nerd in me giggled with delight. Even if it turned out to be a dud, it was a far smaller investment than I have made in the past for bombs.

Have you ever wanted to be a Ninja? Just wanted to leap across open spaces, avoiding rockets, robots and lasers to collect all those little tidbits of gold? Well then N+ is the game for you. N+ is an update to the award winning flash game N created by Metanet Software brought to the PSP and DS courtesy of both Metanet Software and Atari. But can this game really bring the same fun that you get on the computer and XBL/PSN to the handheld arena? Most importantly is it worth your money?

Most of you that visit our site know my video game weakness - RPGs. What is it about these games that get me so excited? Simple..EVERYTHING. My favorite series has to be Final Fantasy, though a small portion of gamers dislike the series. Why has this series continued to flourish and become one of the most known series from the RPG genre? Because it rocks, plain and simple. I know one of the main blows to the PS3 community was the fact that they lost one of their biggest exclusives: Final Fantasy XIII...but is it as bad as some sony fans are making it seem? Or is Square Enix planning on something even better to provide to their loyal fans?
Final Fantasy Versus XIII
Before I go into my first impressions of this hellacious game, let me state for the record that beginning a game that is easily a hundred hour game during a move cross country while living out of hotels was not in any way shape or form the smartest decision I have ever made. First, I had trouble finding time to play and I would have withdrawals because I wanted to see what was going to happen next. The game sucks you in like an addicting soap opera. Second, did you know some televisions in hotels are bolted down and do not have the proper connections? Can someone please explain this phenomenon to me?
I must admit, please don't hate me, I had never played any of the Metal Gear Solid games before this one. I have a nephew, Alejandro, who is an amazing gamer and he loved the series. With all the hype surrounding the release of this highly anticipated game, and after much coaxing from Alejandro, I decided I was going to play the game. I put down my reservation at GameStop, if only to get the free DVD and waited. While I am admittedly not officially reviewing the DVD, I have to admit it was a great introduction to the game. It gave the entire backstory so I didn't feel so lost once the game was released. But this is not a review of the DVD so moving on.

Did you ever think a mixture between World of Warcraft and a football video game would do well? I'm pretty sure if the idea came up a year ago, I wouldn't believe it -- But after finding out a little bit this game and seeing the trailer, my opinion is a little different.
Blood Bowl, a fantasy football video game coming to the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PSP, and Nintendo DS appears to be a game to keep your eyes on. This game is an adaption from the board game "Blood Bowl" - for those of you who played the Warhammer table top games, you might have heard of it (It's produced by Warhammers Fantasy Label).

When you think of Guitar Hero you automatically think about having that plastic guitar controller in your hand, rocking out to some awesome songs with notes disguised as one of 5 colors -Green, Red, Yellow, Blue or Orange and battling with your friends via online. You could never imagine that a company could ever be able to pull off the same effect on a hand held console...well it seems that Activision has. But did they succeed? After all what is Guitar Hero without the Guitar?
