Review: Rocksmith

Review: Rocksmith
When Ubisoft announced they were planning to release Rocksmith, a new music game, I was quite sceptical. The Guitar Hero and Rock Band franchises were on their last legs, and it looked the music game genre was set to self destruct. They said this new game would be different, that it would use a real musical instrument and teach you to use it. At the time it was impossible to tell what would result. It could have...

Review: Forza Motorsport 4

Review: Forza Motorsport 4
Forza Motorsport 4 is finally here and its sure to make a splash. Compared to its main competitor, Gran Turismo, we’ve been seeing a new Forza game every couple of years it seems.

Review: Gears of War 3

Review: Gears of War 3
We’ve gone through two of these games already. The first was the first game that really kicked the 360 into high gear. The second showed us something new, but what did you expect for the third? More of the same, with a few tweaks? Well you’d be wrong. Sure at first glance it looks like probably more of the same, but once you start the campaign you realize just how far you’ve come in the past few years. The...
