Review: LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4 (X360)
Last Friday, Chris and I rented the recent title to hit the LEGO video game franchise, LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4. I guess you could say I’m a fan of the LEGO game series. I played through LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy for regular Xbox, and then we got LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga for the 360. Months ago we rented LEGO Batman, but weren’t impressed. P...[Read More]
Review: Dragon Age: Origins Leliana’s Song (X360 DLC)
Back in June, during the excitement of E3, BioWare announced new DLC on the way for Dragon Age: Origins titled Leliana’s Song. Of course I was excited, but after the semi-bland Darkspawn Chronicles, Chris was very apprehensive. On Tuesday morning, the day of launch, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the new DLC, but I also was hoping I wouldn’t be disappointed. From watching the...[Read More]

I picked the game up again in Novem...[Read More]
Review: Dragon Age: Origins Darkspawn Chronicles (X360)
Today BioWare released it’s recent installment to the Dragon Age franchise, downloadable content titled Darkspawn Chronicles. News broke about this a couple of weeks ago, but details were sparse. Finally getting my hands on it, I have mixed emotions. Months ago, the Return to Ostagar DLC was released, amid much hype and lots of drama. Unfortunately, it failed to deliver, and it flat out fail...[Read More]
Review: Dragon Age: Origins (X360)
Since childhood, I have been a great fan of fantasy. I have played many fantasy-genre RPGs over the last two decades, and they remain one of my favorite genres of video game. Needless to say, I was excited about the release of Dragon Age: Origins. One of my favorite RPGs for a very long time was Neverwinter Nights, released in 2002 by Bioware. Hearing that Bioware, makers of amazing games such ...[Read More]
Fable II (Partial Review)
I enjoyed the first Fable a great deal when I played it. I love fantasy RPGs, especially ones that look like they take place in the standard human “Once upon a time…” environment. Fable fit that very well. Then we got the Xbox 360, and with it came Fable II. Fable II, so far, has not been living up to its predecessor. I feel that the interaction, combat, and leveling systems ...[Read More]
