Video Game Review - Guitar Hero: Aerosmith (Xbox 360 Console)

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith shows something to it’s players; just because a great game series takes on a great band doesn’t mean the game will be great. Although it improves the flaws in Guitar Hero 3, it changes little else besides the track list, which is now dramaticly shorter. And the games difficulty, which is now laughably [...]

It is indeed time to review the much maligned Kane & Lynch: Dead Men, a game that had everything going against it. With an incredibly poorly timed release, coming on the heels of Bioshock, The Orange Box, Halo 3, and just a week after the debut Call of Duty 4, this game was destined [...]

“Battalion Wars 2″ review for the Wii

So what do you get with bad voice acting, online play, bland graphics, simple military strategy, and intuitive gameplay? How about a mediocre game experience due to the fact it seems like I have been here and done that.

Because Bigger Isn’t Always Better

In my inaugural post here at SwitchPlanet, I’d like to tackle an issue that has people fairly strongly divided. The issue? Games are getting shorter. In the last few years, many games have been attacked for not being lengthy enough. Gears of War for example, was harshly criticized for having a [...]

So what is the difference between table tennis (ping pong) and tennis? How does a company make that transition from hitting a tennis ball to a 40mm ping pong ball? Rockstar first tried this game on the xbox 360 and there was a pretty good following so the translation to the Wii was only [...]
