Video Game Review: ‘Call of Juarez: Gunslinger’ is a Blast

CHICAGO – There’s nothing quite like exceeding bottom-of-the-barrel-low expectations.

Video Game Review: Amazing Ambition of Stellar ‘L.A. Noire’

CHICAGO – Game developers have spent decades fine-tuning the art of puzzle-solving. How do I get from point A to point B? How do I defeat enemy X to do so? It is the foundation of almost every video game. But most developers have used the same tools to build on that foundation, primarily building their houses with hand-eye coordination, whether it’s jumping a platform at the right time or shooting an enemy with perfect precision.

Video Game Review: ‘Undead Nightmare’ For ‘Red Dead Redemption’ Rocks

CHICAGO – “No one deserves to have their blood drunk.” It’s possible that truer words have never been spoken in a video game.

Video Game Review: ‘Legends and Killers Pack’ For ‘Red Dead Redemption’

Video Game Review: ‘Red Dead Redemption’ is Early Frontrunner For Game of the Year

Red Dead Redemption
HollywoodChicago.com Video Game Rating: 5.0/5.0
Video Game Rating: 5.0/5.0

CHICAGO – Rarely has a game lived up to the advance hype as completely as “Red Dead Redemption,” the very unique title that will be influential in so many ways that they’re almost hard to count. There have been titles that pushed the gaming world forward in terms of single-player campaigns or multi-player experiences or gameplay or graphics, but “Red Dead Redemption” is a masterpiece on every discernable level. It’s doubtful you’ll play anything better all year.
