    DJ Hero Review
    2009 was so saturated with music and rhythm games, it was hard to keep track of them all.  However, at the culmination of the year, a title was released that managed to seem fresh, despite the flooded market.  After all, gamers have long called foul at the large amount of music titles released since Guitar Hero resurrected the genre years ago, while also launching the...

    Koku Top 10 Tracks from the Halo Universe
    Ever since I first encountered the deep and expansive universe that surrounds the Halo franchise, I’ve found myself consistently impressed by one part of the foundation more than any other.  More so than the tight controls, the huge online community, or the beautifully crafted story arc – I love the music.  Regardless of how you feel about the gameplay, story,...

    Diner Dash XBLA Review
    Diner Dash, as a franchise, has been ensnaring gamers with its casual-but-addicting gameplay since 2004.  Since its initial release, it has seen titles spring up anywhere from mobile phones to the Nintendo DS.  Most recently, Hudson Entertainment has put out an XBLA version of the game, to the delight of fans.  Don’t think people will buy it on yet another platform?...

    The Only Time I Ever Cried
    Games are truly a sight to behold.  They represent a true melting pot of various types of media, converging to form one emotionally charged entity.  Ok, that might be a bit much.  But games, more than any other medium, offer the chance for a true connection with the experience at hand.  Where else do you find a melding of music, storytelling, character development,...

    Recently, Spike announced the nominees for the 2009 VGA’s.  These titles were: - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - Uncharted 2: Among Thieves - Left 4 Dead 2 - Assassin’s Creed 2 - Batman: Arkham Asylum I’m a bit frustrated at some of these picks.  Right off the bat, I’ll say that Batman: Arkham Asylum and Uncharted 2 are here rightfully.  The...

    Fairytale Fights Review
    American McGee and Tim Schafer are two of the industry’s foremost on “weird” and “exaggerated”;  McGee with his “Grimm” and “Alice” titles, and Schafer with “Grim Fandango” and “Psychonauts”.  Both are masters of the strange, and have set the bar almost impossibly high for those looking to...

    Dead Space: Extraction Review
    Fear.  Raw, unabashed, ever present fear. That’s the only way I can describe my state of mind while playing the original Dead Space. One of my favorite games of 2008, Dead Space was a breakthrough of sorts for EA.

    Nostalgia Review
    With any wave of innovation come those who pine for the old. No matter how new or modern something is, there will always be a group of people who liked the way it was before.  For every person who decides to take the plunge and start playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, there’s someone else who prefers Counter Strike.  The same holds true for RPG fans.  Sure,...

    Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days Review
    A fellow Koku Gamer staffer once described the Kingdom Hearts series as saving his love of gaming, and it’s easy to see why.  With its likable characters, fun combat system, and vibrant graphical style, Kingdom Hearts struck a chord with players when it first released in September of 2002.  Four years later, its sequel did much the same thing.  Ever since, lovers...
