Fallout 3 PS3 Game Review The Fallout series has become synonymous to many gamers as being one of the highest quality franchises out there. Originally belonging to, the now defunct, Interplay, Fallout has been on a hiatus for the past decade now, as Fallout 2 came out way back in 1998. With the struggles of Interplay also came the disappointment that we may never see Fallout 3, which was been

Every once in a while, developers set out to create an ambitious, innovative title that stands out amongst the sea of generic video games that assault store shelves every day. We applaud the motivation – even if the end result isn’t exactly spectacular – primarily because it takes guts for any developer to stray from the beaten path and give the gamer something entirely new. It’s not every day

Dead Space: It started out as an announcement that didn't get all that much fanfare, as is common with the revealing of an all new intellectual property in the videogame world. EA's Dead Space billed a horror game that took place in...outer space, and again, people didn't 'oooh' or 'ahhh'. But as soon as we started getting our hands on playable content, Dead Space quickly turned from being

Unfortunately, while the graphics set the stage for a truly magical and visceral adventure, the sound doesn't exhibit the same level of outstanding quality. The voice acting is solid - even great, at times - but for whatever reason, the least impressive cast member is Altair...the main character should be a highlight, not a low point. The sound effects are excellent throughout; from the

Alone in the Dark is a 1992 survival horror game developed by Infogrames. The game has spawned several sequels, as part of the Alone in the Dark series, and was one of the first survival horror games, after the 1989 Capcom game, Sweet Home. Alone in the Dark set the standard for later survival horror games such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill. X-Play rated the game as the tenth scariest

The game follows exactly the same storyline as Tekken 5, only with the additions of Emily Rocheport, who seeks to destroy the Mishima Zaibatsu and end her father's financial problems, Sergei, a member of Spetsnaz who has been sent to capture Jin Kazama, and Armor King, who was thought to have been killed before the events of Tekken 4 and whose identity and goals remain a mystery to the player.

While it's not uncommon to see console game franchises trickle down to the handheld market, it rarely works the other way. Sony Online Entertainment's Untold Legends series has seen two entries appear on the PlayStation Portable already, and now it makes its full-fledged console debut at the launch of the PlayStation 3 with Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom.

Last year's Ridge Racer 6 marked the first time that a game in the main Ridge Racer series appeared on a non-Sony platform. With Ridge Racer 7, the series is back on PlayStation and available at launch for the PS3. It brings the same arcade-style, drift-crazy gameplay to Sony's new console, and fans of the series should probably enjoy it. However, there's one small catch: Most of

Few who have heeded that call have forgotten the brave wingmen who flew alongside them, or the perilous places they passed through on their mission. Now, the call rings out once again.

When the original NBA Street hit the scene in 2001, it took the over-the-top basketball formula established by the NBA Jam series to the next level. Since then, enormous rim-rocking dunks, intentional fouls, and blatant goaltending have been a part of nearly every play. Rather than simply adding more content and possibly making the latest game in the Street series too complex, developer EA

Sony and developer Evolution Studios' Motorstorm is undeniably one of the more anticipated of the upcoming crop of PlayStation 3 games.

Resistance successfully combines many of the best qualities from other great first-person shooters with spectacular visuals and a few novel twists. If you're going to make a first-person shooter, you might as well take aim to deliver the best of what this style of gaming has to offer. That's what Ratchet & Clank developer Insomniac Games must have done with Resistance: Fall of Man. One

While this action adventure game flexes a bit of the PlayStation 3's graphical muscle, its rather shallow, derivative gameplay makes it difficult to recommend. Level design is often dull, and sometimes frustrating and confusing   repetitive hack-and-slash combat rarely demands much skill or finesse   some noticeable cut corners throughout the story make the game feel rushed.

The design team at Microprose has managed to add a score of new play elements that help the aging strategy classic evolve - without sacrificing the game's addictive qualities. After the disappointing example set by X-COM 2, many gamers expected Civilization II to be nothing more than Sid Meier's original game with a few new graphics tacked on. Others were worried that the game's designers

This title walks the line between the combat and puzzles genres very delicately, and most adventurers will find the game maintains an enjoyable balance throughout. It's been a long time since the release of Westwood's Lands of Lore, but most gamers will recognize its obvious influence on the design of Anvil of Dawn, New World Computing's beginner-level RPG. Even so, originality isn't

And of course there is the undeniable fact that
