My Game Shelf: Red Dead Redemption (PS3)

This one has been put off for too long, as I finished the game a few weeks back (I got the game for Christmas last year, but that's another story for another day). So, now that I've got a another review to write (Bulletstorm), I figured I might as well get this one out of the way so I don't get further behind. This week, we'll be looking at what many called "Game of the Year" last year, and one of the all-around finest pieces of work put together by Rockstar Games, Red Dead Redemption.

My Game Shelf: L.A. Noire (PS3)

So, I've been putting off reviewing Rockstar's latest hit game for a week or two now. Why? In all honesty, I've just been lazy about writing. That's all. No other reason besides that. However, I've got the time right now, so I think I'll finally get it out of the way. Partially because I want to, but also partially because I'll be finishing another game shortly and will want to write a review about that as well. Anyway, enough of that, onto the review of L.A. Noire.

My Game Shelf: 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors

So, it's been a while since I've posted a game review. Not because I've been avoiding gaming. Far from from it actually, as I game nearly every day. No, the reason I haven't done one in a while is because, I'm working on so many games simultaneously, which has resulted in me not finishing games in a faster time frame. However, I did finish two games within the last week or so-L.A. Noire (which I will review the next time) and the one I'm writing about here, that being 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors.

999 is somewhat of a rarity on the Nintendo DS system in that it is an M-rated game. As you DS fans know, games on the popular handheld that are rated Mature are few and far between. Based on the fact that these games are so rare, I figured that it would probably be worth a look. I picked it up from Game Stop a few months ago, as I'm a fan of point-and-click puzzle/adventure games (other examples include the Ace Attorney series and the highly underrated Hotel Dusk: Room 215), which is exactly what this one is. Generally, this style of game on the DS is pretty good as the system works very well with the game style. Although I would love to see these types of games on consoles more, the DS still has a great library of titles in the genre (with the 3DS also looking at a good lineup over the next year. I picked a 3DS up a couple weeks ago, BTW, and aside from the lousy launch titles available, the system is pretty damn cool), so I'm happy.
