Midnight Club: LA PS3 Review

The street racing genre has taken off in recent years. Rockstar was the first to dabble in it with its Midnight Club racing franchise with EA and Need for Speed picking up the pieces a few years later. Rockstar has continued to refine the series, with the game these days making an appearance every so often. MCLA is their first crack with the next generation system and this franchise, and utilizing the same engine as Grand Theft Auto IV, it was bound to tax the systems. However while MCLA is not a bad game, just like its predecessors, there are many flaws abound which keep it from the must own status Rockstar has tried so hard to achieve.

Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories

When Square Enix re-releases RPG games, they often tread a fine line between creating thoughtful remakes or hatred-inspiring rehashes. I'm happy to report that Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, a PS2 port of a GBA game, falls in the former category-it's a worthy addition to the much beloved franchise as well as a compelling choice for diehard fans as it sheds some much needed light on events from past entries in the Kingdom Hearts franchise. Series noobs, however, might find themselves a little lost in the intricate plot that Kingdom Hearts has spawned thus far.
