Blood Drive review
If you remove the hearts from Twisted Metal and Left 4 Dead and boil them down to their core ideas, what you have in Blood Drive is a near perfect fusion of the gameplay found in each. Twisted Metal has you steering cars occupied by…

Cthulhu Saves the World review
Thus begins the Old One’s quest for backwards redemption -- defeating some evil so he can unleash a greater evil. Sulking along the sandy beach he arrived at, he rescues his first party member, a star-struck water-based healer who…

Doc Clock: The Toasted Sandwich of Time review
Doc Clock: The Toasted Sandwich of Time wants to tantalize you with inventive gameplay and a fabulous 2D side scroller environment like a viewing into the past. However, one fatal flaw brings the whole construct crashing down. Building…

ZP2KX: Zombies and Pterodactyls 20XX review
You could choose to mow them down with machine pistols or shotguns. With rocket launchers, plasma cannons or flare guns. With flamethrowers, assault rifles, proxy mines, grenade launchers or samurai swords. Railguns, icebeams, mini-nukes…

Xexyz review
Humanity nearly wiped itself clean off the map, and the Mother Nature attempted to aid the process with a few hundred natural disasters. Peaceful fairies then came along and built a nation on the bones and smoldering ruins of humanity and…

Dirty Larry: Renegade Cop review
Like Kung Food, Dirty Larry compensates with enough health that you can get lucky and progress through much of the game. Both are examples of games that are fundamentally poor and have used above average size lifebars to try to hide the…

C: The Contra Adventure review
This easily could have been an instance of jubilation of multiple satisfactions... had Konami grown a brain.

Mass Effect review
Table of Contents: Space Music The Story Arc The Choices The Shooting Homage Epilogue The earth obscures the sun in a mix of motion capture, pre-generated animation, and game-engine rendered overlays. It's a pleasant effect, taking the…

Xenon 2: Megablast review
I respect Xenon 2 for the envelopes it pushed, but this doesn’t qualify it for a free pass; it doesn’t excuse its mistakes. Remember its innovations fondly, if you like, just don’t revisit them. There’s no reason to; no reward for your…

Kung Food review
Kung Food is recommended if your only system is the Atari Lynx.

Cave Story review
I knew after ages of searching through scores of dull family games, pointless platformer reboots, and obscure puzzle games that I would find a WiiWare game actually worth the price of admission. This game, ladies and gentlemen, is Cave…

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood review
Even before its release, Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood was the victim of utter scrutinization. Many knew the premise, but most wondered if the ideas present weren’t more than fancy add-on content. Multi-player they said. You don’t need to…

Alien Syndrome review
When we think about Sega of the 80s, we remember such classics like Space Harrier, Shinobi, OutRun, Phantasy Star, and After Burner; games that helped turn the company into a... temporary powerhouse. However, Sega did release a ton more…

Fallout: New Vegas review
It’s well past midnight and I cannot sleep. My conscience weighs heavily on me for what I have done. I have tried to prevent bloodshed, but in the end I have killed so many. I have tried to stand up to injustice, but in the end I have…

WWF: Betrayal review
Just what I wanted: a WWE game where you wrestle the backstage crew.

Medal of Honor review
Medal of Honor can barely claim to being more than half a game, the half it does right, it excels. The other half isn’t bad for a first attempt -- but that’s not really good enough, is it?

The Magic of Scheherazade review
Leap off that steed and cast away that shining armor. It's time to take the hot sands, to don a turban and wield a scimitar with deadly grace. Leave behind those fantasies that have been final for fourteen games or those quests of the…

101-in-1 Sports Party Megamix review
I’m simply going to present the facts. Nothing here works. Even with its budget title status, it’s not worth the price of admission.

Jim Henson's Muppet Adventure No. 1: Chaos at the Carnival review
If you're a seeker of esoterica or a man with a penchant for playing poorly made license titles, then Jim Henson's Muppet Adventure: Chaos at the Carnival is just the ticket. It's the crème de la crème of awful. Most wouldn't expect much…

Domino Rally review
You know those Japanese games with stupid-sounding gimmicks that rarely get released outside their native country, in fear of not selling well? Domino Rally is one such game that made it outside. Judging by the name, you're thinking this…
