    What is so Wrong With More of the Same?

    "Same," "similar," "cookie cutter," "by the numbers," "remake," "expansion." These are all descriptions that reviewers have ascribed to the recent release of Crackdown 2. You can find similar descriptors in reviews of most sequels. After reading a number of reviews of sequels that used these same sort of descriptions and then playing the games for myself, I was struck by a seeming disconnect between what video game reviewers want from a sequel and what I, as a gamer, want.

    Previously on RGV Double-Tap: I lost it on the computer taking over at the end of a video game and finishing off the big bad guy for you.

    This week, I’m actually going to talk about a couple of games where there wasn’t a final boss battle, and I didn’t miss it, or that I felt tonally, it wasn’t necessary to have a thirty-minute long overture of dodge, dodge, fire at the giant glowing weak spot on the bad guys lower back.

    Bright colors and challenging game play are just a small sampling of what my newest favorite Xbox Live Indie game offers. Beat Hazard by Cold Beam Games is produced and created by a company of one. The game is simple yet amazing, and has kept me playing for a few hours so far. We'll get the reason why later on.

    60 Second Review: Split/Second

    Split/Second is an apt title for the new game released by Disney Interactive Studios (developed by Black Rock Studio), because the joy and wonder of this game really lasts for a mere split-second. Terrible pun absolutely intended.

    By Natas46

    Zombie Apocalypse (ZA) is an Xbox Live Arcade/Playstation Network game that I was interested in when it released last September. I downloaded the demo and nearly pulled the trigger, but then I read some reviews that panned the repetitive nature of the game. Those reviews combined with a general lack of interest amongst my friends persuaded me to fore go the purchase.
