World in Conflict Review (PC)

During Direct to Drive's 5 year old sale, where they were selling games for 5 dollars, I jumped on two games at discount prices. World in Conflict Gold was one of those games, and after playing through the single player on the normal difficulty I have constructed this review. I had not had the chance for playing much multiplayer for this game, so I won't reflect on it much. Instead, this review will focus on the single player aspect of both the original campaign and the interlaced Soviet expansion pack missions.

Racist Resident Evil 5 PS3 Review

Background: I am a master of Resident Evil 4 as I alluded to in my preview of Resident Evil 5. My expectations for this game were extremely high and the game has disappointed on certain levels while improving on other levels. I beat the game on Veteran solo and have basically experienced all the game has to offer. I beat the game at least twice, playing various sections of the game at multiple sections in combinations of single player, split-screen coop, and online. Clearly there are COMPLETE SPOILERS going forward for a comprehensive review. I decided to wait a while before I wrote about Resident Evil 5 to thoroughly experience all the modes. I did NOT buy the Versus “downloadable content” because there is no reason for me to pay extra for game modes they added via patch.

Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay Remake (PC)

My review of this game comes almost comes by luck. Why? Well, there was a Direct2Drive promotion not too long ago that sold games for 5 dollars apiece. It just so happened that one of those games was Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Athena. It had been marked down from $40 in the promotion, an eye catcher if any. I had heard positive notions about Butcher Bay on the original Xbox, many praising the graphics, perhaps some of the best on the system. A quick trip to Metacritic showed an average rating of about 90. More convincing was not required. For 5 dollars, if it sucks, then it is no big loss. I have paid more for worse games (especially when $10 is considered bargain-bin prices.)
The deed was done, and I proceeded to install the 7GBs of data needed to play this sucker, which would eventually uncompress to about 10GB. Hefty Hefty Hefty.

Tropico (PC) Review

With the upcoming release of Tropico 3, I felt inspired to go back to the original, and play it. Here, I will lay down my thoughts for you. But first, let me say that the Mucho Macho edition which I have includes the Paradise expansion pack built in. I am unsure how many features were in the original, and which have been added, so I shall just review this complete version and eliminate a two part-er. [Whew…]
