	Yu-Gi-Oh! Ultimate Masters: World Championship Tournament 2006 review (GBA) Reviewed on May 19, 2006 World Championship 2006 is a great game that hints at a potentially excellent future. Unlike its drooling idiot siblings on the half-powered Yu-Gi-Oh! Double Pack, this final GBA edition combines all the card game's actual rules (including Fusion Monsters) with the thrill of purchasing and ripping open hundreds of virtual booster packs. The only things holding this particular Pak back are some audiovisual inadequacies and the sore lack of online play.
	Tomb Raider: Legend review (PS2) Reviewed on May 19, 2006 Fortunately, the boring fights only make up a small part of the game. You've got exploration. You've got puzzle solving. 1/3 suck, 2/3 good.
	Bombastic review (PS2) Reviewed on May 19, 2006 You bask in the glorious immolation of Aquis.
	Dreamfall: The Longest Journey review (XBX) Reviewed on May 18, 2006 As a result, there are plenty of times where you’ll be working through an area and the adventure is cut short because someone was alerted to your presence. The circumstances aren’t always the same—sometimes you’re ducking around robots and shards of glass, while others you might be trying to let the sound of a train mask your movements from a watchdog—but the frustration remains in tact.
	Call of Duty review (PC) Reviewed on May 17, 2006 The Medal of Honor series has always amazed me with its atmosphere and perfect portrayal of war. Battlefield 1942 (and its successor) and Day of Defeat offered what it quite possibly the best World War II multiplayer experiences ever. But Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty tops them all. It doesn’t have the atmosphere of Medal of Honor or the options and multiplayer of the latter two (although it is atmospheric and has decent multiplayer), but it does exactly what...
	MediEvil: Resurrection review (PSP) Reviewed on May 17, 2006 Have you ever not wanted to do something?
	Tomb Raider: Legend review (PS2) Reviewed on May 16, 2006 I have no right to comment on how much the entire Tomb Raider series has ended up smelling like moldy catacombs. I have not played a Tomb Raider game since the third installment, I believe it was. I think Lara went to Area 51 or something, and that is where I bid the lass adieu. Just like most people, I enjoyed the first game quite a bit and was also satisfied enough with the first sequel. The third one did not have enough new material to keep me interested and the new material that it did ...
	Generation of Chaos review (PSP) Reviewed on May 12, 2006 Every unit you command is controlled through this set-up. Each time you want to recruit someone to your cause, or give a gift to an especially useful warrior, or develop the land around a stronghold or whatever, you have to wade through menus. Those commands you might wish to use most frequently are generally two or three levels down, to boot.
	Justice League Task Force review (GEN) Reviewed on May 12, 2006 The problem here is that, even though Task Force does some things right, it nullifies the good points by being flat-out boring.
	Black review (XBX) Reviewed on May 10, 2006 Let’s talk about realism for a minute. The video game industry is “supposed” to be moving towards realistic everything. Realistic gameplay that’s so technical it isn’t fun (Ghost Recon anyone?). Audio realism that’s so accurate you’ll swear you’re actually on the battlefield. Photo-realism with girls and cars that look “better” than the real thing (check out Gran Turismo). We’re told that we shouldn't want games that look like cartoons anymore, and that we should want super-detaile...
	OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast review (XBX) Reviewed on May 10, 2006 It's been awhile since I've first experienced OutRun2. While I haven't played it a lot lately, I still consider it one of the best titles I've played in recent years. It had an overwhelming feel-goodness to it that was infectious at times. The gameplay was good, too. There were times I thought I wasn't going to play a new game like that for a LONG while. But, here I am, a year and a half later, playing the followup, OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast. Is it as good as OR2? He...
	LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game review (PS2) Reviewed on May 08, 2006 Most zones require rapid character swapping if you want to discover everything. For example, you might see a ledge you can’t reach. Your Jedi only has a limited jump, but perhaps you have Padme along. She can use her grappling hook to reach higher areas, then trip some switches so that her friends can follow. Or maybe there’s a hidden item. You can see it, but you can’t reach it.
	Red Dead Revolver review (PS2) Reviewed on May 07, 2006 Here are a few examples of bad before and after scenarios. Go work out, then when you’ve exercised yourself until you’re starving eat a bunch of cookies and candy bars. Put an entertainment center or bookshelf together using only tape, and then throw all of your stuff on it at once to see if it holds. And finally, watch a really bad “western” movie (The Quick and the Dead) then search fervently for a “western” game (Red Dead Revolver) to fill the mental gap that is now in your life. Remin...
	Resident Evil: Deadly Silence review (DS) Reviewed on May 07, 2006 Toss aside the robotic and archaic controls, the seemingly predictable surprises in abundance and the undeniably boring story present in nearly every Resident Evil known to man, and you’re left with what looks to be a scant amount of enjoyable video game material. Adding insult to injury, let’s throw on an antiquated control scheme, and some of the worst voice acting to ever grace a video game system. It sounds like I’m ripping Resident Evil: Deadly Silence a new one, but in truth, I have to a...
	Sweet Paradise review (PSP) Reviewed on May 06, 2006 Quick show of hands, who here wants to date a pre-teen Japanese girl? Better yet, what if you could take this lovely young lady on a private holiday, just the two of you exploring the sandy tropical beaches of Bali... would you like that?
	Lords of Thunder review (SCD) Reviewed on May 06, 2006 There are two reasons gamers play scrolling shooters. The first is intensity. Yes, intensity, that nebulous, ubiquitous descriptor which encompasses hurtling projectiles, swarms of enemies, huge bosses, and fancy-looking weapon effects. If a shooter has all of these things, it's basically a can't-miss proposition.
	The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay review (XBX) Reviewed on May 06, 2006 I used to write articles on a monthly basis for my local newspaper. It was a great little job for me because I got to write about video games and movies and unlike these reviews, I actually got paid for it. I started a “Best Entertainment Bets” column eventually that I used to discuss my top picks for upcoming games and movies, and I picked the Chronicles of Riddick DVD as the best upcoming DVD. I received quite a few comments about my choice. Many people hated the film. I guess I can und...
	Siren review (PS2) Reviewed on May 06, 2006 These days it seems like the Japanese have become the torch-bearers for quality horror movies. Frankly, the American formula was getting a bit old, a bit unimaginative, and a bit too action-oriented. Often times, I cannot differentiate the latest American horror film from a comic book or a “Rambo” sequel. Japanese horror does have a more direct effect on me. I think the reason is that it’s a bit more cerebral. Though many traditional Japanese horror stories may seem a bit odd to the America...
	Need for Speed: Most Wanted review (X360) Reviewed on May 05, 2006 I’m not a racing game fan. I usually prefer an rpg with a good story and unforgettable characters. But once in awhile a great racing game comes out that I must play. One such game was Need for Speed Underground, which was the first of a new genre of racing games. It offered great visuals, awesome cars, and exhilarating fun. Now, two installments later in the Need for Speed series, Most Wanted offers the same exciting gameplay with some new features and the classic police chases that make it just...
	Condemned: Criminal Origins review (X360) Reviewed on May 05, 2006 You’re walking down a dark hallway, littered with trash, torn-up, blood infested walls. The only light above is flickering rapidly, you hear deep breathing- footsteps. You’re holding a bloody shovel, right on the trail of the Torturer, a deadly serial killer. You hear a garbage can rustle and fall and you jump out of your seat! You take some cautious steps forward and peek into a room. Then you see something jump across the room and you hear the loud thump as a drug addict cracks a 2 x 4 over yo...
