Review: Disney’s Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two
Written by Wallace Phelps on December 7, 2012 in Xbox 360
[Adventure, Epic Mickey 2, Mickey Mouse, Oswald, The Married Gamers, The Power Of Two, TMG]
Disney history is filled with great characters, stories and attractions that today’s generation may never hear or see. Showcasing this history is where Disney’s Epic Mickey series hopes to shine. The game ends up trying too hard to appeal to the hardcore Disney fan and not trying hard enough to be a consistently entertaining game…. Read More »
Review: NASCAR The Game: Inside Line
Written by Patrick Cassin on December 7, 2012 in Xbox 360
[5.7, Activision, Eutechnyx, NASCAR The Game: Inside Line, racing]
NASCAR The Game: Inside Line is a game by Eutechnyx that plays much more like a sports simulation title than an accessible racer. While that may be a fine thing for those desperate for that level of fidelity, as a relatively new series (this being the second entry by the same developer) there’s still a… Read More »
Review: Call of Duty: Black Ops II
Written by Loren Nikkel on December 6, 2012 in Xbox 360
[Activision, Black Ops II, Call of Duty, Married Gamers, TMG, Treyarch]
Albert Einstein once said, “I do not know with what weapons World War 3 will be fought, but World War 4 will be fought with sticks and stones.” While it is true that nobody knows what weapons our future selves will be using, Call of Duty: Black Ops II sure paints a scary picture of… Read More »
Review: Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
Written by Addam Kearney on December 6, 2012 in Xbox 360
[Kart Racing, Sega, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed]
Following the tremendous success of Mario Kart, there were a number of video game companies that were eager to try to make as quick a buck off the kart racing genre as they could. Crash Bandicoot had multiple kart racing games, Pac-Man had one and even the candy M&M’s eventually found a way to create… Read More »
Review: Zone of the Enders HD Collection
Written by Wallace Phelps on November 24, 2012 in Xbox 360
[Konami, The Married Gamers, TMG, Zone of the Enders]
The problem with nostalgia is that sometimes it doesn’t adequately prepare you for what happens when faced with the reality of how bad something was. Zone of the Enders HD Collection actually does a really good job of proving that point. Zone of the Enders has a pretty laughable premise. You play through the game… Read More »

I recently checked out Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth, the new Marvel fighting game for the Xbox 360 Kinect. While I have previously spent a lot of time appreciating how all the Avengers have a way of filling out their spandex outfits and was excited to get my hands on them…I mean…the game… having a son… Read More »
Review: Assassin’s Creed III
Written by Erik Johnsen on November 13, 2012 in Xbox 360
[Abstergo, Animus, Assassin's Creed III, Connor, Desmond, Revolutionary War, The Married Gamers, TMG, Ubisoft]
Assassin’s Creed has clearly been the marquee franchise for Ubisoft Entertainment for the last five years. Now, with the present story evidently winding down, Assassin’s Creed III brings us a little closer to home and gives us a new story centered in colonial times on the verge of the Revolutionary War and the birth of a… Read More »
Review: The Testament of Sherlock Holmes
Written by John Catuira on November 13, 2012 in Xbox 360
[Frogwares, Review, Sherlock Holms, Testament of Sherlock Holmes, The Married Gamers, TMG]
In his newest adventure the titular consulting detective is the archetype for keen observation, deduction and crime-solving in much the same way that Gimli is the first thing to come to mind when someone says the word “dwarf.” Instead of Middle Earth though, we’re looking at London where Sherlock Holmes is again at his mystery-solving ways….

[PC, PlayStation 3, Turn-Based Strategy, Xbox 360, XCOM: Enemy Unknown]
Eleven years. Eleven years ago I was a sophomore in college, falling for the girl who would eventually become my wife and figuring out what the difference was between variable scope and polymorphism in my programming classes. Eleven years ago … Read More…
