Video Games Samples
Preview: 'Blur'
By Kevin John, Crispy Gamer. It's been a while since I've played and really enjoyed a racing game. My impressions in a sentence is that "Blur" is "Mario Kart" grown up.
Review -- 'Battlefield: Bad Company 2'
By Mike Gonzalez, Crispy Gamer. I love it when a big budget, special-effects-'roided-out action film can stop and joke about itself.
Death of a Henchman: The Bad, the Good and the Gray
I can remember one of the first times I thought about death; I must have been about 5 and the victim was a standard-issue Koopa Troopa. Years later, I can't imagine my death toll since that Troopa.
Review: 'BioShock 2'
By Chase Slaton, Crispy Gamer. What bothers me about reviewing "BioShock 2" is that everyone is reviewing "BioShock 2." Now I could make my review stand out by attacking the game so many have eagerly anticipated . . . so I will.
"Assassin's Creed II: Bonfire of the Vanities"
Ezio's missing memories came to a searing finale with the "Bonfire of the Vanities" DLC pack. I had my reservations about this DLC pack after having played through "Forli's" crass sequence.
5 Minutes/5 Games: NES Vol. 1
By Richard Rodriguez, Crispy Gamer. In this new column, I'll play five games, chosen at random, for only five minutes. GUN NAC. Ah, an old-school top-down shoot-'em-up a la MUSHA for the Sega Genesis.
