First Thirty: Blast Off (iPhone)

That screenshot is not going to convince anybody of anything.
Blast Off is a spacey physics puzzler full of teeny-tiny graphics. You tap around the iPhone screen to direct the rocketship to pick up floating astronauts. …

First Thirty: Darksiders (PS3)

I suppose that just because something is puerile doesn’t mean it is bad.
IGN described Darksiders as a combination of God of War and Legend of Zelda. They’re right. The combat is a mashy blitz of …

First Thirty: Bayonetta (360)

…what? I just spent the most surreal 30 minutes of my life in the company of Bayonetta, a game that seems to be half convoluted, campy, bizzare cinematic, and half Devil May Cry with a …

First Thirty: Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (Wii)

It’s been a while since I’ve played a good, scary horror game. You can’t really count Resident Evil 5 or Left 4 Dead as being truly scary. Intense and gory? Sure. But not scary. We’ve …

First Thirty: Assassin’s Creed II (PS3)

So what’s up with all this lame sci-fi crap?
Seriously, like the concept of “Metal Gear in Renaissance Italy” isn’t cool enough?
Having never played the first Assassin’s Creed, I feel a little behind the curve on …

DiRT 2 First Thirty (PC)
December 22, 2009 – 6:43 pm | Comments

Guitar Hero: Van Halen sends me to a very bad place

This summer, I went to a Journey concert. I didn’t really know what to expect, since I’d never seen the band live before, and I knew they were on something like their fourth singer since …

First Thirty: James Cameron’s AVATAR: The Game

Upon arriving home today, I was greeted by my little brother. “You’ve got a parcel! I think it’s a game! Open it! Open it!” After pushing him down the nearest flight of stairs, I …

First Thirty: New Super Mario Bros Wii
November 22, 2009 – 5:33 pm | Comments

After spending weeks whining about how I had a hard time considering New Super Mario Bros Wii a good value at $50, I bought the game yesterday. The explanation is even worse, I suppose. I …

First Thirty: Prototype (PC)

I am a little late to the Prototype party, but after seeing it on sale for $19.99 at GoGamer.com, I decided to jump on the deal.  After playing through thirty minutes of Prototype, I am …

First Thirty: Dragon Age Origins (PC)

After a slight delay in the mail system, I finally received my review copy of Dragon Age: Origins on the PC, and after thirty minutes of play, I can say that it was well worth …

First Thirty: Borderlands (PC)

First Thirty: Borderlands (PC)

I had watched Borderlands with some curiosity, but did not delve in at launch, due to some of the mainstream press giving the game a “already been there” feel.  So I sat on it for …

First Thirty: Manhunt 2 (PC)

With the consoles never allowing anything stamped with an AO rating to be played, Manhunt 2 underwent a few changes to remove some of the gore that had been put in the game by Rockstar …

First Thirty: Star Wars The Force Unleashed Ultimate Sith Edition (PC)

Aspyr Entertainment was nice enough to send over a new copy of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Ultimate Sith Edition for review, and since I have been a bit busy, I thought I would weigh …

First thirty: The Beatles: Rock Band (PS3)

The Beatles: Rock Band is a pretty polarizing game. While nobody seems to see it as a bad game, the limitations on it that isolate it from the rest of the Rock Band product line …

First Thirty: A Boy and His Blob

At every turn, I wonder if WayForward’s Wii-exclusive A Boy and His Blob is doing enough.
Does the box art stand out on the Wii racks filled with Game Party and flash puzzle ports and no-name …
