Dead Space: Extraction: Positives
The game isn’t excellent or the best of the best, but it is fun enough to play again and again. Isn’t that the point, after all?
Dead Space: Extraction: Negatives
I’ve never been so divided on what can be considered a flaw or not. On the whole, it’s tough to screw up a rails-shooter.
Bioshock 2: Multiplayer
How could a franchise built on its single player experience have a multiplayer mode so good?
Bioshock 2: Positives
Ok, so even though the game shouldn’t even exist, 2K Marin did prove that they are competent at making a fun game.
Bioshock 2: Negatives
The biggest crime Bioshock 2 commits is that it was even made at all.
Lost in Nightmares
Paying five bucks for a new couple of levels for a game may seem cheap, but once you’ve played it you won’t be sure if you were cheated or not.
Sleeping Beauty is a Terrible Film
This is perhaps one of the worst movies I’ve ever been forced to watch. Oh, my cute little niece, the things I’ll suffer for you…
Borderlands: Positives
Ok, so Borderlands is fun enough that it’s not too bad to play through. But writing about its good points is a trial of its own.
Borderlands: Negatives
This is one of those times where I wonder if I’m playing the same game as all of the other gaming journalist outlets. Then I wonder if any of those reviewers are actually qualified for their job.

Left 4 Dead 2: Negatives 2.0
Enough of the creative writing assignment, let’s get on with what makes this game unfinished.
Left 4 Dead 2: Negatives
Alone in his office, no light save for that emanating from his window, Gabe Newell wonders where everything had gone wrong…
Sacred 2: Fallen Angel
A decent enough game, if not flawed.
A Decade of Gaming: 2009
The final year of the decade is also a major downer, sans a few exceptions.
A Decade of Gaming: 2008
Nothing really happened in 2008…except for a few excellent games and some clunky titles that had potential.
A Decade of Gaming: 2007
First big year in the next-generation of gaming, and probably the best so far.
A Decade of Gaming: 2006
Despite the release of two new consoles and the Xbox 360 hitting into its first full year, there really weren’t that many notable games to discuss…
A Decade of Gaming: 2005
A whole lot of great games released in 2005, but a lot of them weren’t big sellers. In fact, many of them have been forgotten in this rush of sequels to a “hardcore” market or desperate attempts to seduce the “casual” market, leaving a lot of potential left behind to never be seen again.
A Decade of Gaming: 2004
For better or worse, 2004 was a major milestone in gaming. The launch of the DS, the announcement of XNA and the release of tons and tons of sequels all set the stage for what would happen in the next few years of gaming.
