Afro Samurai Review – Nothing Personal, It’s Just Bad

Balloo Reviews Surge’s PS3/360 adaptation of the Afro Samurai manga/TV series. For the truest of fans only, Afro Samurai Makes you miss the show more than love it more.

iDracula Review

Let’s start with the juicy bits. iDracula is an action-arcade thriller with groundbreaking Diablo II-quality visuals and a control scheme that you can really sink your teeth into. Frenetic mayhem sums up the gameplay, which depending on your scale of comparison is either varied enough (for the casual gamer) or just hors d oeuvres for those seeking a true RPG experience.

Real Soccer 2009 Review

Gameloft is pushing the boundaries of mobile gaming. Real Soccer 2009 is not a waiting-in-line-at-Starbucks kind of game. It sucks you in. You will look like a dork (and an incompetent employee) when you shout “Goal” in your workplace. But it’s worth it. Soooo worth it.

Touchgrind Review

On the surface, Touchgrind appears to be what the iPhone was made for. But once you get your mind out of the proverbial gutter and stop drooling at the graphics, you realize that this game has no body. It is a skeleton. And as fun as it is to poke a bunch of dry bones, you can really only get off to a nice, warm body ; )

Fallout or Get Out: Fallout 3 Review

Behtesda crafts a game that may just scratch the belly of such terms as “art” and “masterpiece” if only through its scope. Largesse isn’t this game’s only strength though, as Fallout 3 blends original gameplay, creative storytelling and a depth of a world that you are given full freedom into craft a completely original experience for yourself. It may be that Bethesda didn’t give us the masterpiece, it may be that they gave us the canvas and paintbrushes.
