Ghostbusters: The Video Game
I was a bit of a Ghostbusters fan in my younger days, so I was fairly excited for this game. Written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, featuring the voice talents of the original cast, utilizing the authentic sound effects, considered to be the unofficial third film in the trilogy, this game is the closest you can get to being a Ghostbuster.
Turns out, being a Ghostbuster just isn’t all that fun.

Project Natal: My Thumbs Work Fine, Thanks
One of the big stories to come out of this year’s E3 is Microsoft’s “Our Wii Is Bigger than Yours” throwdown to Nintendo in the form of Project Natal. Stealing the idea from Sony’s EyeToy failure, Project Natal is a camera that claims to offer full-body motion-tracking, as well as facial and voice recognition. So now instead of just waving your arms around to play games, you can jump around and flail your whole body! Awesome!

Fable II: Knothole Island Review
Fable II was, as many expected, not a very long game when following the storyline so any type of expansion is an improvement. The game also left players mixed up with having certain parts of outfits but not the rest and that just did not make sense. Well, now it’s time for it to make perfect sense and for Lionhead to make some more cent$. Behold, the Fable II: Knothole Island expansion is upon us as it’s shadow is cast upon our merciful credit cards!

Gears of War 2 Combustible Map Pack: Instantly Combusts $10!
This is going to be short and to the point. I’ve downloaded and played through a few rounds in each of the new maps in the downloadable Combustible Map Pack released today for Gears of War 2 and am prepared to make a recommendation.
Don’t dowload them. At least not yet. Here’s why.

Keeping up with the Keflings: XBLA Review
A Kingdom for Keflings is one of the first games to utilize the new Avatars on Xbox Live and makes “you” a playable character, er, Giant. This is easily a game that could be overlooked and forgotten or found and obsessed over. Take your pick. Anyone who liked Animal Crossing or the first Sim City will definitely get into Keflings.
What can I say, I got suckered into Keflings after playing the trial to the point I had to pay. I didn’t mind since I had 2200 MS Points and Keflings was only 800. It is a quick and small download. What is it? If you imagine Warcraft 2 without the fighting then you pretty much have A Kingdom for Keflings.

Gears of War 2 Online Multiplayer: Just Plain Broken?
I’m following up my initial Gears of War 2 review to cover some things that have come into focus as glaring issues that hopefully can be addressed by Epic Games. While there are many criticisms from GOW fans right now of certain aspects of the game play mechanics themselves, most of those are issues of taste and preference. Instead, I think the issues that are killing this game for me and many players is the entire online multiplayer system. Right now, my perspective is that it is a failure of epic proportions — no pun intended. Is it too broken to fix?

Focus!
I wasn’t that interested in the launch of the new Xbox 360 interface. I didn’t care about their new Mii-wannabe Avatars, the ripped-off-from-iTunes “coverflow” navigation, the pointless party system, any of it. Seemed like just another example of Microsoft copying someone else’s success and calling it innovation. And then I heard about streaming Netflix movies and changed my tune rather quickly.

Fable 2: The Best Mediocore Gets
good doggy
Set in the world of Albion 500 years after the first installment, Fable 2 looked to improve upon the first in the series in many ways and happens to come up short, way short, on a lot of the key elements that made the first game so great. Though, with all of the shortcomings of true greatness in the game, your reviewer still could not put the game down.
Come along for a tale of amazing mediocrity…
