Grand Theft Auto IV - REVIEW
peachey @ May 20, 2008 # 2 Comments
SCORE: 4/5
From the get-go, Grand Theft Auto IV promises to be something quite special. Niko Bellic arrives in Liberty City aboard a boat that carried him across the Atlantic, away from a horrifically scarred past and towards the hope of starting over. The supporting opening cinema is slick and brilliant, and captures the mood of […]
Turok Review
peachey @ March 5, 2008 # No Comment Yet
Score: 3/5
Turok 2: Seeds of Evil is the stand out entry in the Turok series. It certainly had its issues, a sometimes erratic frame-rate chief amongst them, but what it lacked it made up for in its presentation, beauty, expansiveness, explosiveness, and gore. Memories of the utterly brutal Cerebral Bore still float through my mind. […]
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Review
peachey @ November 22, 2007 # No Comment Yet
Score: 5/5
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is not a complicated game. It is not terribly deep, it is not very long, it does not sport sci-fi weaponry, and its story does not involve the fate of universe. But it happens to be the most intensely, insanely visceral shooter on the Xbox 360. Along with […]
Mass Effect Review

Score: 3/5
As technology continues to exponentially improve upon itself, videogames reach new levels of sophistication approaching parity with other, better established mediums. Many videogame developers challenge themselves with the inevitable difficulty of harnessing technology to create something that either mimics as closely as possible a cinematic experience or carving out something completely unique and unattainable through […]
The Orange Box Review

Score 5/5
Half Life 2 is the darling first-person shooter for PC enthusiasts. I have never been a PC enthusiast. I have never, up until this point, played Half Life or Half Life 2. I have merely read of its alleged greatness. So I approached The Orange Box - a compilation of Half Life 2, Half […]
Halo 3 Review
peachey @ September 25, 2007 # No Comment Yet
Score: 5/5
Halo 3 is one hell of a gaming package, practically unrivalled in breadth, innovation, and sheer quality. There are certainly issues with the game specifically related to the campaign: this game is not perfect. But whatever issues one might have with the campaign are quelled by the multiplayer, and the wealth of exciting new […]
The Darkness Review
peachey @ August 6, 2007 # No Comment Yet
Score: 3/5
The Darkness comes to life courtesy of Starbreeze studios, the obscure developers of the well received Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. If you’re familiar with Chronicles of Riddick, you will have a good idea of what to expect from Starbreeze’s second game: An innovative and visceral first person shooter with open-ended elements […]
Crackdown Review
peachey @ February 20, 2007 # No Comment Yet
Score: 4/5
At first blush, Crackdown is yet another open-ended sandbox style game in the vein of GTA. But Crackdown is an action adventure game first and foremost, complemented by an open-ended cityscape. By focusing and embellishing upon the greatest strengths of a classic adventure, Crackdown is an original standout amongst a glut of me-too games. […]
