Non-Review: Terminator Salvation

This game is pretty terrible. Horrible AI, bad level design, boring and repetitive gameplay. Even Hard mode takes only 7 hours or so. Good for points only.

Points Addict: 34,000

Tonight I passed 34K by playing Terminator Salvatioin

Review: X-Men Origins: Wolverine (360)

+'s 

-really satisfying, violent gameplay

-some fun boss fights

-character voices and likenesses from the film

-one of the better movie-licensed games I've played

-'s

-very buggy (you can stand and fight where there is no ground, etc.)

-puzzles aren't extremely well done

Neutral

-game is very easy on Normal mode

Overall, this game is a poor man's God of War.  It has a bunch of issues, but Wolverine is such a badass that it is definitely worth renting if you're in the mood for a violent button-masher. 

Review: Bionic Commando (360)

+'s

-fun to swing around (probably the best swing mechanic yet in a game)

-very good graphics full of areas to explore

-'s

-terrible voice acting

-ridiculous story

Neutrals

-repetitive gameplay (lots of swinging around, but it is fun)

-only about 3 types of enemies to fight

-weapons are incredibly generic (it's all about the bionic arm)

I never played Bionic Commando for the NES,  and it doesn't seem necessary as the characters and story seem pretty detached from the older game (going from shades and orange hair to dreadlocks, really?).  There is some fun to be had in the game, and the ending left me curious to see where they take the next game's story (if one is made).  

Points Addict: 33,000

Tonight I passed 33,000 points while playing Wolverine. 

Review: inFamous

+'s
-extremely fun platforming (exploring the city is almost fun enough by itself)
-great powers (electricity is an interesting superpower after all)
-very good replay value (playing all the way as good and then again as evil is very worthwhile)
-engaging story

-'s
-goofy motion capturing (especially the NPC's)
-some of the voice acting is subpar

Neutral
-graphics are average
-few boss fights
-limited enemy variety

Overall, another very strong action/adventure for the PS3, and another new franchise that will undoubtedly only get better. This was a very fun game that I only enjoyed more the longer I played it. It's also the closest I've gotten to a Platinum Trophy (I have about 80% of the Trophies unlocked).

Non-Review: Crackdown

I played Crackdown for about 5 hours or so months ago and just didn't get it.  Now I don't have to write about my opinion because a reviewer nailed it right here.
