Counter-Strike: Global Offensive – Review (Xbox 360)

Posted By Jeff Markiewicz On October 3, 2012 at 1:29 pm 1 COMMENT

Counter-Strike was originally a user-build modification of Valve’s Half-Life that saw its first public debut in 1999. Although just a rough beta, the mod caught on like wildfire. Through each new iteration of the title, the game became bigger and better. Eventually, it caught the eye of Valve who stepped in to help development as well as release a boxed version of the popular modification. Shortly after the release of Half-Life 2 in 2004, Valve upgraded Counter-Strike to the source engine, calling it Counter-Strike: Source. And now several years later, we have Counter-Strike: Global Offensive developed by Hidden Path Entertainment. They were already helping with Counter-Strike: Source, so going with them for this new edition was a no brainer. Over the years, Counter-Strike has become one of the most played online games and has helped shape the first-person shooter genre as we know it today. The original game is still being played by tens of thousands of people each day, consistently besting even the more recent Source version. Can Global Offensive maintain the high quality and fun that Counter-Strike is known for and get players of the original to finally upgrade?

Transformers Fall of Cybertron – Review (Xbox 360)

Posted By Rob Dillman On September 27, 2012 at 2:23 pm Comments Off on Transformers Fall of Cybertron – Review (Xbox 360)

Transformers Fall of Cybertron ScreenshotThe Transformers franchise is a wonderful anomaly. Like many other toylines, it could be satisfied with creating the flimsiest of backstories and merchandising tie-ins to sell more toys to children. Yet, for two and a half decades, the creators of Transformers have tried to make a coherent storyline with a mythology that seeks to resolve all of its different incarnations into one overarching plot. At its worst, it’s crushed under the Unicron-sized weight of its own lengthy history. At its best, we get works like High Moon Studios’ Transformers: Fall of Cybertron.
