As the seventh console generation comes to a close, I've been looking back over all the "Best Games of the Generation" lists to see if there are any important games that I just never played. I think, for the most part, I'm pretty good. The only blemishes on my record are that I never played Heavy Rain and Dark Souls. Of course, I haven't played EVERYTHING; I know that the GTA and Elder Scrolls games are really great, but they just don't appeal much to me... (more)

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney was released in North America in February of 2008, and although I didn’t know it at the time, it was to be the last mainline Ace Attorney game for over five years. There have been a pair of “Ace Attorney Investigations” games starring the beloved prosecutor Miles Edgeworth since then (with only the first appearing in the West), but nothing in the core franchise starring the defense attorneys that we have come to know and love. Five years isn’t exactly a neverending period of torment, but it was a long enough time to build up some serious longing and make me more than ready for another round of Ace Attorney. I came into this game with high expectations, not just for another great Ace Attorney experience, but for one that could make the five long years of waiting worth it. And in that it has delivered. For the most part... (more)

No video game fanatic can deny the importance of the Arkham franchise. Not only are both Asylum and City absolutely stellar games in their own right, they also mark the first time a comic book license has been done true justice in the video game industry. What’s fantastic about these titles is that every single mechanic is designed to make you feel like Batman, and they’re all executed flawlessly. With today’s technology, it’s easy to make a video game look and sound like the source material, but the trickiest part is making the gameplay feel like the source material. Arkham is no Ghostbusters: The Video Game, for example, where the gameplay is just a no-thrills run of the mill third person shooter with every weapon you could find in any Gears of Halo, but disguised in a proton pack fashion and the generic levels covered in a Ghostbusters coat of paint. That is the real beauty of these games. From the unique “one man versus many thugs” combat system that has been borrowed by a lot of other games since Asylum, to the copious amount of gadgets the dark knight has at his disposal (the versatility and opportunities for fun and back-tracking these provide rival Metroid power-ups in this reviewer’s eyes), to the predator mode where our hero picks off armed thugs one by one. Top that with the best Batman and Joker voices ever, and you got a fantastic Batman simulator and one of the top franchises of this generation... (more)
