MAG (PS3) »
by Evan A. Have you ever wondered what it’d be like to play with more than four people? Eight people? Even 16 different people? How about, 256! This is what MAG for the PS3 brings to the table. MAG is a PS3 exclusive and was released on January 26. MAG is a pure online game [...]
Infinite Undiscovery (Xbox 360) »
by Evan A. You would think there would be an ending point for discovery. The people at Tri-Ace destroy that thought with Infinite Undiscovery. This game is an action RPG. It was released in the year 2008. My Dad calls it an oldie, but a goodie. And in reality, it was pretty good. There were definitely [...]
NCAA Football 11 »
by Evan A. With College Football getting ready to start again, what better way to get ready for the season than with EA Sports NCAA Football 11. The Destroyer of Men (Tim Tebow) is on the cover of all the console games. I do not know how often that has happened. Either way, this game [...]
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves »
by Glen A. Late last year, Trevor wrote a review on Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. Though we were late getting the game, it was still fun, and lived up to the reviews we had read. I don’t play a whole lot of games (Halo 3 online is about it right now), but every now and then [...]
Prince of Persia (PS3) »
Since the first Prince of Persia game came out in 1989, there have been nine different games related to the series. This addition to the series is called simply “Prince of Persia” and it was released on December 2008. This game continues to build on what the previous games have been built around. Those aspects [...]
NCAA 2010 (PS3) »
by Evan A. Yet another year has come and gone. Another year for ups and downs for our beloved college teams. Thank goodness EA Sports comes out with a new NCAA game every year. It’s also great that the game comes out before the season so that we can live our teams dreams out before [...]
Is it past time for a new ESRB rating? »
by Glen A. This past Saturday, Evan I were in Best Buy looking for his graduation gift. He wanted video games (what else is there?) and to match what his older brother got last year, Evan could get more or less three games, or two and XBox Live. I haven’t really looked around for games [...]
Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection (PS3) »
by Trevor A. Sonic the Hedgehog? Streets of Rage? Golden Axe? Vectorman? On a current-gen console? Yep. The fastest hedgehog in the world is back and he’s brought some friends this time. Forty Genesis (Mega Drive to the rest of the world) classics on a single DVD/Blu-ray Disc! Not to mention nine Master System games. [...]
Guitar Hero World Tour (PS3) »
by Trevor A. The Guitar Hero series has always been about one thing: being a guitar hero. Guitar Hero was a proven success back in 2005 when Harmonix first brought it to market. The keys were then handed to Neversoft to continue bringing the people what they want: more Guitar Hero (Or cowbell. It’s your [...]
Rock Band 2 »
Let there be rock! by Trevor A. By now, everyone and their mother has heard of Rock Band. It revamped the music simulator genre by allowing four people to get together and rock out to Rock ‘n’ Roll songs. You may ask, then, “Is Rock Band 2 really worth the purchase?” I would have to [...]
Mirror’s Edge (PS3) »
by Trevor A. What do you when you put a platformer, action-oriented game with a first-person perspective twist? Mirror’s Edge, duh. Swedish video game developer DICE has rolled out with a new game that you may end up hating and loving at the same time. It’s a weird feeling… The hero of this story (sorry, [...]
MotorStorm: Pacific Rift (PS3) »
by Trevor A. The MotorStorm series was first introduced to the PlayStation 3 near the birth of the console. I enjoyed the first game, and MotorStorm: Pacific Rift is just as good, if not better, than it’s predecessor. If you aren’t familiar with MotorStorm, I’ll give you the DL. First and foremost, MotorStorm is a [...]
Castlevania Judgment (Wii) »
by Trevor A. I love the Castlevania series. It’s had its hits and misses, but what franchise hasn’t? Of course, it’s known for it’s action/adventure oriented design. Heck, you can even throw in a little RPG into the game. Well, guess what. For this latest version on the Wii, the Castlevania team decided to enter [...]
Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party (Wii) »
by Trevor A. By now, you may have realized that the recent games we have reviewed on CasaCena are PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 games. Every once in a blue moon, a Nintendo Wii game or two finds it’s way near me. This time around it’s Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party. I still haven’t played [...]
Folklore (PS3) »
by Trevor A. Two very different characters are summoned to the small town of Doolin Village (located in Ireland). A 22-year old university student named Ellen receives a mysterious letter, supposedly from her mother. The only problem with that is… well, her mother has been dead for 17 years. Drowned in the belief of seeing [...]
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe: Kollector’s Edition (PS3) »
by Trevor A. Mortal Kombat II was the last Mortal Kombat game I have ever played. Or at least to my recollection. That was back on the Sega Genesis. Man, that was a while ago. I miss the original Sonic the Hedgehog and Street Fighter II… Okay, enough reminiscing. On with the review! For starters, [...]
Eternal Sonata (PS3) »
by Trevor A. I like RPGs. No, not rocket-propelled grenades. Role playing games. Japanese RPGs in particular. The Final Fantasy series would have to be my favorite. Debuting on Xbox 360 in 2007, Eternal Sonata graces itself onto the PlayStation 3. Polish composer and tone poet, Frederic Chopin, is dying of tuberculosis. But since he [...]
Robert Ludlum’s The Bourne Conspiracy (XBox 360) »
by Evan A. For the last few years, Christmas has started a little early at our house. In order to inject some fun into it, and not have all the wrapping obliterated off of presents in a matter of minutes Christmas morning, my dad started hiding presents before Christmas and making us look for them, [...]
PlayStation Home – Open Home Beta (PS3) »
by Trevor A. Note: This post is about the first three days of PlayStation Home’s release Home finally got out of the closed beta doors and allowed everyone to enter on Thursday, December 11. I went on the official PlayStation forum and GameFAQs to figure out when the heck it was coming out. I tried [...]
Madden NFL 09 (Xbox 360) »
by Trevor A. This year’s addition of the Madden football franchise has Brett Favre as the cover athlete. It is also the 20th annual installment of the series, with the first coming in 1988 on Commodore 64, Commodore 128, and the Apple II, simply entitled “John Madden Football.” Because of the NFL and the Players [...]
LittleBigPlanet (PS3) »
by Trevor A. LittleBigPlanet ain’t your typical little brother’s game. It may look like it at first glance. To tell you the truth, it isn’t. Plain and simple. The game starts you out in your pod after the little introduction (narrated by Stephen Fry. He even does the tutorials, so you’ll be hearing a lot [...]
Guitar Rack for Guitar Hero/Rock Band »
by Trevor A. Running out of wall space to lean plastic guitars on? Would you like to sing and play another instrument at the same time, without having to go through the hassle of having to use duct tape or household appliances or furniture? Well, why not get the Guitar Rack for Guitar Hero/Rock Band? [...]
Rock Band Drum Silencers »
by Trevor A. Since the first installment in the Rock Band series, numerous people have made modifications to their drum set, as proven by videos on YouTube. Harmonix probably heard the cries of many parents, and most likely neighbors, and decided to release official drum silencers. These drum pad silencers can go with any console [...]
Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune (PS3) »
by Trevor A. You may know the developing team Naughty Dog by now. They were the guys who brought you Crash Bandicoot on the PSone and the Jak & Daxter franchise on the PlayStation 2. Now they have brought another game to the next generation of consoles. Although a year old before we bought it [...]
