Game Review - Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

The long running and beloved Castlevania series, stretching all the way back to the original Nintendo, now gives us a new console release with Lords of Shadow. This game is handled by a new team from the ones who handled the last few games, giving us a new timeline, rebooting the story. Does this help or hurt the game? Read on to find out. As usual, I am reviewing the Playstation 3 version of the game. (Warning: Spoilers ahead!)

Game Review - Final Fantasy V

This review marks a special moment for me. Having beat Final Fantasy V, I have now completed every game of the main series of Final Fantasy (excluding XI due to MMOs having on going stories).  So, with this game, how does it measure up in the overall series? Is it good? Bad? Forgettable? Middle of the road? Read on to find out!

Game Review - Transformers: War for Cybertron

Transformers, a series that began back in the 80s, and is a childhood love of mine. It has existed in some form or another over the years, from comics, CGI TV shows, and even big budget live action movies. From the great writing of the Beast Wars cartoon, to the awful writing and directing of Revenge of the Fallen, Transformers has it's highs and lows, and is full of memorable moments, both good and bad. The series has had a hand full of games over the years, most of them are forgettable or just flat out bad (like the Beast Wars game I used to have, it was so bad I sold it to Gamestop). The one game I read was pretty good was the Transformers Armada game for the PS2, though sadly, I never got around to picking it up.

But today we are looking at the newest Transformers game. It is not based on a show or movie, and is set as a prequel somewhat tied to the original Generation 1 cartoon. Millions of years ago on Cybertron, we see the early stages of the Great War between the evil Decepticons and the noble Autobots. Is it good? Is it bad? Read on to find out.

The Force Unleashed - Review

The Force Unleashed marks a new project by Lucasarts to create a cross medium project similar to the old Shadows of the Empire project. While there have been several of these with various degrees of success, this one is the newest one, and one I would call the most 'mainstream' of all the projects. The following review will be based on the build of the game developed for the 360 and PS3.  How does it line up compared to past projects? Read on to find out...

Game Review - Knights of the Old Republic II





Today's review is of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords. Part of the Old Republic series that covers the first Knights of the Old Republic (from here on just called KotOR) and the upcoming The Old Republic MMORPG, this series really helped to pull people into the Star Wars environment and gave you a choice to walk the path of light, or the path of dark.

Game Review - New Super Mario Bros Wii





Today's review is New Super Mario Bros. Wii, or as the game calls it, "New Super Mario Brothers, Wii-HII!!!!!" And this game really is a mixed bag for me. Allow me to explain the backstory for this game. A friend of mine picked this game up, called me up and said he wanted to get me and my other friend together and play the multiplayer on the game, I was fired up, said yeah and we all got together and played this game, I didn't play all the game, but together, we all compelted this game in under a day (excluding the secret world). So how does it stack up? Read on to see...

Batman Arkham Asylum Review


Batman Arkham Asylum Review

Superhero games are a tricky business. Good superhero games are rare. They range from good to average to bad and forgettable. Good superhero games that come to mind are the original Batman game on the original Nintendo, which was a Ninja Gaiden clone, Spider-Man 2 on the Playstation 2, and a couple more. Of course, there's never been a good Superman game. But now we have what could be THE definitive Batman game ever made. While the original NES game was a side scrolling action game that just had a Batman theme and not really a Batman feel to it, but AA has the feel, the look, and the sound.

Dissidia Final Fantasy Review


Dissidia Final Fantasy...this is a fanboys dream come true for those who love the Final Fantasy series. DFF is a fighting game that pits eleven heros and eleven villains from the main Final Fantasy series, streaching all the way back to Final Fantasy I all the way forward to Final Fantasy XII. While the game is not perfect, it is a fun and enjoyable game that has alot to offer.

Video Game Review - Ghostbusters

Today on T Time we have:
















To sum it up simply: This game is awesome.


To be a little more detailed: This game shows what a proper movie licensed game can be. The story, gameplay, graphics, everything in this game is top notch. I will be reviewing the PS3 version of the game, which is the more realistic version.
