Super Mario 3D Land Review

Super Mario 3D Land has arrived and has finally given the Nintendo 3DS its first, real “killer app”. Super Mario 3D Land is not just another ordinary Mario title; it’s a brand new Mario adventure that is built from the ground up for Nintendo’s latest handheld and is extraordinary. Everything about this newly released game is phenomenal and can justify the purchase of the 3DS alone.

Just Dance 3 Review

Just Dance 3 and the hilarity that comes with the franchise, has arrived again and it’s another stellar addition to the popular dance genre. The multi-million selling franchise has officially arrived on all home consoles and, as usual, is a blast to play, especially if you have a bunch of friends and family members to join in on the fun. This review is specifically from the Wii version of the game and is a fantastic addition to your Nintendo Wii library.

Child of Eden PS3 Review

Child of Eden has finally arrived for PS3 (approximately 3 months after its 360 counterpart) and the cornucopia of colors and music is an absolute blast to play. To call this game a “unique shooter” would be the best description I can give but still far from the truth.

The game is more of a colorful and artful experience that needs to be played. It has been my own personal living room laser light show and truly has to be seen to believe. Although some may not quite “get” the game, I have fallen in love with it and have found Child of Eden to be very enjoyable and one of my favorite games of this generation.

How does this game fair on our scale of 1-10? Read on to find out!

Gears of War 3 Review

Ah the Gears of War franchise. The series that has carved (literally) it’s way to the top of the 3rd person shooter genre has released its 3rd and final chapter in its epic series and it is bloody fantastic. After spending countless hours (and many sleepless nights) with this amazing title, I am very proud to announce that the game is nothing short of brilliant. Although the game sticks to what brought it to the top, Gears of War 3 is (arguably) the best in the franchise and is one of XBOX 360′s best titles to date.

How well did this amazingly gruesome title fair? Read on and find out.
