A game doesn’t have to be innovative or original to be awesome, and with the right ingredients can actually be more fun than its inspiration.
Critical Hit: April 2010
April 2010’s Critical Hit columns include the importance of story in games, how hype influenced the sales and perception of Assassin’s Creed and Too Human differently, a recommendation on making finding items in games more user friendly and how consoles may not have DRM, but they do have a fight against used games.
Darksiders: Negatives
You know I liked your game when my biggest problem is a voice actor that isn’t actually bad at his job.
No More Heroes 2: Positives
It’s good enough to not suck, but there isn’t much else noteworthy about the title.

Typically a sequel should try to improve upon the original rather than make it worse.

My column, Critical Hit, is now up on GameKrib.com
Oh yeah, they bought me out hard.
The Inner Walls of GameKrib.com

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?
