This game is a C+ PS2 game which is unfortunate since it's on the PS3. It only has two selling points, the art and the battle system, and both are awful. First off, don't paint "anime" style characters. It almost never works and the aesthetic is best when it is cell shaded. The art in Last Rebellion looks like it's by a middle aged American who got into anime a couple years ago and likes to paint. Secondly the battle system is painful. Every enemy has a list of limbs and targets which, through trial and error, must be hit in the right sequence to do real damage. This game is unplayable by anyone who has a life. The music is terrible, the visuals are terrible, the whole thing is a pile of weakness. It is empty, boring, lifeless, and every aspect of it, from the dialogue to the battles, takes an excrutiatingly long time. This is the very essence of wasting time. Not entertaining. I wiki'd the game after I played it and it quotes the publisher's president as saying he felt "really sorry for our customers because we released that title." I should have read that before I got it. (.40)

This was the first game I played in the Battlefield franchise and I have to say I was pretty impressed.  Having played the entire Call of Duty library (and feeling a litlle let down after Black Ops) it was hard not to compare Battlefield to COD.  Even though Battlefield has been living in the shadow of COD for years now, I think those days are coming to an end.  Battlefield delivers a solid storyline (although rather short) and gives you a so-so co-op experience, but what really makes this game shine is the online multiplayer.  DICE is definitely known for a killer online experience and Battlefield continues this tradition.  No other game out there (including COD) lets you wage war the way this game does.  The maps are huge.  The vehicles are a blast to mess around in.  And the ability to level a building that some opponent is camping in is surprisingly satisfying.  If you are looking for a single player game, then avoid this one.  However, if you enjoy epic battles on huge maps then this is the FPS for you.  (.86)

I played Batman: Arkham Asylum back in 2009 and it remains one of my favorite games that has come out in the past few years, so I was pretty excited when I heard about the sequel: Batman: Arkham City.  Akham City retains all of the stuff that made Asylum great and adds even more, which I never thought would be possible.  The story is set in Arkham City prison which is basically a section of Arkham that has been walled off and turned into a maximum security prison.  The prison is filled with thugs, weirdos, political prisoners and your classic murderous criminal masterminds.  For example, Joker has taken over the Steel Mill, Two-Face hangs out at the Court House and The Penguin has taken over the Museum.  There are even some other baddies in there too for you to discover through side missions.  The story follows Bruce Wayne after he gets thrown into Arkham City and has to figure out something simply known as "Protocol 10".  The game presents a "realistic" experience and lets you truly become Batman.  Some moments you are using your keen detective skills, other times you are pounding the snot out of bad guys and finally you have to stalk your "prey" from the shadows.  The game will keep you plenty busy after the main story is done with side missions, hundreds of collectibles, puzzles, training exercises and much more.  Arkham City truly delivers one of the best "super hero" games ever made.  Everything about this game is flawless and future games should use this game as a model.  (1.00)

You're a little burlap sack doll man that gets to platform all around on different wacky levels that can be customized to create new levels. The best part of this game is getting to be a little sackman with lots of platforming action and the bajillion levels that have been created by the online community. The worst part of this game is that you're a lame little sackman and you just jump and swing around on bajillions of stupid levels that have been made by tons of different people but all kinda feel the same after awhile. Nice friendly fun videogame. (.84)

Eternal Sonata had a lot of promise. Not only was it a much-needed RPG on the Xbox 360, but it looked like it was going to break the J-RPG mold by blending action-RPG elements with a turn-based RPG framework and incorporating a novel plotline. As opposed to the standard “evil guy X is going to destroy large geographic area Y and ragtag group of good guys Z has to save it,” the game takes the unlikely and very rarely traveled route of historical fantasy—it’s set in a music-based fantasy world existing in the mind of Frederic Francois Chopin as he lays on his deathbed in the final throes of his long battle with tuberculosis.
