Battlefield: Bad Company Hands-on Preview

The Xbox and Xbox 360 have had their fair share of good shooters, not the least of which is the Halo series (hello, Sept. 25!). Likewise, the Battlefield franchise has had its share of acclaim, largely on the PC. So Battlefield: Bad Company has been both on gamers’ radar and off, a multi-platform release coming in spring 2008 that seemed to sneak up on us at EA’s Studio Showcase. But we’re glad it snuck up when it did, because….

Medal of Honor Heroes 2 Hands-on Preview [Wii]

The Wii Zapper has yet to hit retail, but when it does, there’s one shooter franchise EA hopes gamers remember when it comes time to get their motion-sensitive frag on: Medal of Honor Heroes 2. Designed from the ground up for the Wii, Medal of Honor Heroes 2 deftly supports Nintendo’s upcoming gun-like peripheral, but just as important, it lets players use the Zapper in online battles with 32 players–the most ever….

Erin Brockovich HD-DVD Review

If a director can get one motion picture out in a yearthat is a hit with both critics and the general public, that is considered a great success. But when they manage to get two all-around pleasing blockbusters within a twelve-month period, then that is something really worth noting. Very few have had this type of double whammy: Francis Ford Coppola had a year like that in 1974 with The Conversation and The Godfather Part II, and….

Next HD-DVD Review

Next marks Paramount’s second HD-DVD exclusive high-definition title following Blades of Glory and last new theatrical release by the studio until the third HD-DVD title destined to trump them all, Transformers. On paper, Next reads like a slam dunk hit: Nicholas Cage playing yet another reluctant hero, Cris, with the ability to see two minutes into his own future; a shimmering wet Jessica Biel in a towel; Julianne Moore trying to be tough….

Brunswick Pro Bowling Review (Wii)

When Crave announced it would be publishing Brunswick Pro Bowling for the Nintendo Wii, we couldn’t help but get excited for what would no doubt be the ultimate party game. Nintendo’s very own Wii Sports Bowling paved the way with spot on controls and a sense of speed that allowed for quick pick-up games with the friends and family, but the promise of 10 playable bowling alleys, a career mode, customizable characters, a pro shop to purchase authentic gear and ball upgrades seemed to make Wii Sports….
