It might follow the Grand Theft Auto formula, but like a gangsta
version of pop-chef Emeril, Saints Row takes it up a notch -
BAM! - with user-created characters, vehicle customization,
beautiful high res visuals, excellent voice-acting, well-implemented
targetting system and the coup de grace, online multiplayer
mayhem. Pay a visit to Saints Row if even just to get an inkling
of things to come in the non-linear action genre. |

Oh the hype for GoW was exciteful, and the game was so delightful....
Aside from Zelda, no other game had as much hype levelled at
it than Epic's Gears of War - and deservedly so. Marcus Fenix
brought his BFG and definitely came to play. We loved the intense
run & gun, take cover action, not to mention the smokingest
visuals yet seen on the Xbox 360. When we played this, more
than one editor was heard to exclaim "PS3 who?" |

Oops, they did it again. Rockstar shot through your heart,
you got lost in the game... oh baby, baby! Ah, it wouldn't be
2006 without a Britney reference. Sure VCS follows a familiar
formula but we tend to ignore such things considering it's such
an awesome winning formula. More GTA is never a bad thing unless
you're one of those jaded 12 year old morons who hang out on
those "other" forums. Vice City rocks. No doubt. |

Sam Fisher was back in black for double the trouble this year
with a two kick-arse adventures on the current gen and next
gen consoles. We actually preferred the current gen Xbox version
more for its tighter overall gameplay package over the fancy
high res visuals of the X360. If you haven't sneaked a mile
in Sam's shoes, you might want to get on that as soon as possible.
Just remember to turn off those 3 bright green lights Sam is
known for... they'll get you killed. |

Hit the deck...this ain't no strategic card playing Metal Gear
adventure like those awkward Ac!d games. PSP fans had their
wish granted when Kojima Productions and Konami rolled out the
red carpet for a real portable Metal Gear title. Portable Ops
plays like a dream - a dream where you get to kill lots of bad
guys - and its appearance on the PSP is very welcome at this
stage. Solid Snake just called you a wimp, better play this
one prove him wrong! |
