Elias and Yuen Fei Lung tell you why Grand Theft Auto IV meets and exceeds the hype in our detailed audio and video review. Without a doubt, GTA IV is one of the finest games ever made.

 

GAME DESCRIPTION: “What does the American Dream mean today? For Niko Bellic, fresh off the boat from Europe, it is the hope he can escape his past. For his cousin, Roman, it is the vision that together they can find fortune in Liberty City, gateway to the land of opportunity. As they slip into debt and are dragged into a criminal underworld by a series of shysters, thieves and sociopaths, they discover that the reality is very different from the dream in a city that worships money and status, and is heaven for those who have them and a living nightmare for those who don’t.”

Devil May Cry 4 is a very satisfying action game with tight gameplay and a decent story. If one had to make any complaints about the game it would probably be that the game has some camera issues and also the fact that bosses are repeated a bit too frequently towards the end of the. Other than that, fans of over the top anime and martial arts movies will relish Devil May Cry 4.

Assassin’s Creed took four years to develop! That’s a long time! In many aspects of the game such as design, the time and care spent on this game shows. But there are other areas where AC lacks a bit. Even so, Assassin’s Creed it a game you won’t soon forget.

Shrouded in secrecy and feared for their ruthlessness, the Assassins intend to stop the hostilities by suppressing both sides of the conflict. Players, assuming the role of the main character Altair, will have the power to throw their immediate environment into chaos and to shape events during this pivotal moment in history.” –EBGames.com

Both the games story mode and online modes are solid, providing enough content to keep players busy for months to come. Halo 3 is a game that is truly worth dropping $60.00

Master Chief returns to finish the fight, bringing the epic conflict between the Covenant, the Flood, and the entire human race to a dramatic, pulse-pounding climax.

While not a bad game, Smackdown vs. Raw does very little to improve upon last years game. The new fighting-style system is innovative but old problems such as collision detection and a host of other small glitches (some old and some new) make SVR ’08 a game that only hardcore fans will truly enjoy.

GAME DESCRIPTION: “WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 lets players develop the WWE Superstars of today into the Legends of tomorrow. The #1 wrestling franchise in the world delivers more depth and strategy with prominent new features, key annual enhancements and incredible graphics while making its much-anticipated debut on three new video game systems. It’s time to live the life of a Superstar. How will you play?” -EBGames.com
