1st 10 Hours – PS3 Review: Demon’s Souls

Demon's Souls cover This is my premiere edition of “1st 10 Hours.”  What is it?  Well, some games are quite epic, usually RPGs and if I were to wait until I finished it to get a review out it would take quite sometime.  Also, I may have only played as one class and not know how other aspects play out, etc.  Maybe a game has multiplayer and I’ve only done single, or vice versa.  Well, I’ve put in over 10 hours in Demon’s Souls and would like to give my impressions, but will do a proper review later on.  Read on to see my thoughts.

XBLA Review: Uno Rush

Uno Rush cover So I reviewed Uno for both XBLA and PSN, but now here’s Uno Rush.  This is a variation on the Uno formula that is much faster paced and a lot of fun, but should it have been an expansion, or is it worth being a separate title?

Retro Thursday – XBLA/PSN/VC/Genesis Review: Gunstar Heroes

Gunstar Heroes cover Today’s review title is one of the longest just because of the amount of consoles it is available for.  Gunstar Heroes is a classic side scroller run and gun shooter along the lines of Contra.  It was Treasure’s first game and the company was formed by former Konami employees that worked on Contra so it all makes sense.  If you enjoy classic shooters like that especially playing 2 player co-op you owe it to yourself to get this game, but which version?

Retro Thursday – XBLA Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1989 Arcade

TMNT Arcade cover Growing up in the late 80s/early 90s you will be familiar with these strange things known as “arcades” and “arcade games.”  While sadly this is pretty much dead here in the US, at least many of them still live on in various forms on today’s consoles.  Back then you couldn’t go to an arcade, bowling alley, pizza place, comic book store, etc without seeing the TMNT arcade game, and with good reason.  Is it still fun and worth the money today?

PSN Review: Uno

Uno PS3 cover I’m sure a lot of you are saying “hey, didn’t he review this yesterday?”  or “Wow, he’s getting lazy and instead of including both systems in one review he’s splitting it up!”  The reality of it is that Uno on PSN is completely different (well, still Uno, but you know what I mean) from the XBLA version.  Different developer with different controls, options, etc.  It had enough differences that I felt it warranted another review, so here it is.

XBLA Review: Uno

Uno cover Uno is one of those games that it’s hard to find someone who HASN’T played it.  It’s been around for a long time in physical card form and over the last few years there have been a bunch of digital versions released as well on various platforms.  Today I’m going to take a look at the Xbox Live Arcade version of Uno.
