My initial opinion of 'F.E.A.R. 3' was that it was an astoundingly generic, cover based first-person shooter, but as time passed and I progressed further into the game, I came to realize that 'F.E.A.R. 3' was actually ...

'From Dust' is an amazing game and a wonderful testament to creativity in game design. It's simple, complex and utterly beautiful.

Gamerscores have been a staple of an Xbox player's personal identity, serving as a quick gauge for how much a gamer plays. 360Voice's Achievement Challenge has taken that metric and has debuted a unique meta-game around Gamerscores in Gears of War 3

Way back in the early days of 2007, there was a PlayStation 3 game with great promise, showing effectively what the system was built for and what the future held in store.

'Galaga' is a game that gives a smile to anyone who grew up visiting arcades -- but, unfortunately, 'Galaga 30th Collection' for the iPhone isn't diverse enough in gameplay from game to game to warrant the cost, especially with the sometimes frustrating control scheme

'The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings' is a PC game (the Xbox 360 version is set to launch around the end of this year) that follows the adventures of Geralt of Rivia, a magically enhanced monster hunter, or witcher (a name that I imagine sounds a lot cooler in Polish). The 'Witcher' games are based on the novels of Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski

L.A. Noire plays like a TV crime drama. Think 'Law & Order' meets the tone and pace of 'Heavy Rain' with the GTA engine with 'Mad Men'-esque style -- but even that's an imperfect comparison. 'L.A. Noire' has more of a point-and-click adventure mentality where objects are examinable but not every object is important

The prolonged PSN downtime was a result of hackers, and consequently Sony announced that everyone's PSN screen name, real name, address, email, birth date and password had been compromised.

LEGO Universe is a massively multiplayer online game that takes place in an alternate universe populated by LEGO mini figures. Players must protect the final existing vestiges of pure imagination from extinction -- clearly a worthwhile quest and, very probably, a useful skill in life outside the MMO gaming environment
