Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones review (XBX)Reviewed on November 17, 2007Every once in a great while, I get the feeling developers are actually listening to us. |

Mega Man 2 review (NES)Reviewed on November 17, 2007These days, when I think of the name “Mega Man,” the image that regularly comes to mind is a factory churning out countless piles of sequels. In this odd-but-true fantasy, boxes teeming with Mega Man Battle Network games are loaded onto trucks and driven out to all the EBs and GameStops of the world, every minute of every day of every year, ever. Such a fantasy is a rather exaggerated but bluntly true reminder of the fact that we have too darn many Mega Man games on the market today, a lot of wh... |

Max Payne review (PC)Reviewed on November 17, 2007The overwhelming shadow of a city - rotting with disease - presses in around you. The neon lights and chittering rats mock you knowingly. The streets are lined with graffiti, trash, and needles. There are more dumpsters than trees. Your fellow denizens are not friends, at least not to you, and usually not even to each other. They're okay with you, though, it makes exterminating them easier on your conscious. |

Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction review (PS2)Reviewed on November 16, 2007Though at first glance Mercenaries "Playground of Destruction” seems like a GTA clone but in fact it is not. Mercenaries is an original game and a VERY enjoyable game. |
||
Burnout 3: Takedown review (PS2)Reviewed on November 16, 2007Burnout 3 though the 3rd installment in the burnout series is not like its predecessors, the reason being that Criterion Games has completely reinvented the series and everything that was associated with the Burnout world. |

Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition review (PC)Reviewed on November 16, 2007PC gamers rejoice. One of the most stylish and fast paced series of the Playstation 2 makes its grand debut on the PC. Yes my fellow gamers the half demon half-half human Dante has finally arrived on the PC in what is no doubt the most stylish game to be released in the devil may cry (DMC) series. Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition as the name suggests is the special edition of the 3rd installment in the series. The game though the 3rd installment is actually a prequel to the 1st game and shows eve... |

Legaia 2: Duel Saga review (PS2)Reviewed on November 16, 2007As a fan of the original Legend of Legaia, I was pleasantly surprised to find this gem while fishing through the bargain bin of my local game store. I was unaware that there even was a sequel, but then, Legaia has always been more of an underground fandom, and like its predecessor, Legaia 2 came on the scene without fanfare or lineups and humbly presented itself to us. |

Darklands review (PC)Reviewed on November 15, 2007Dear reader, are you lonely? A bit sad? Not feeling very loved? Well, I have a solution for your woes! Play Darklands! |

Manhunt 2 review (PS2)Reviewed on November 15, 2007It would be inaccurate to call Manhunt 2 a true sequel to the original ultra violent and ultra gory Manhunt, because even though the latest game carries the same name it tells a whole different story with a completely different character. Developed by Rockstar London Manhunt 2 takes the violence, gore and profanity that the developers are famous for to a whole new intense level and makes sure it stays there. |

Victorious Boxers: Revolution review (WII)Reviewed on November 14, 2007Get up. Come on, this isn’t the time to be lazy. You think mastering the Boxing game on Wii Sports gives you the right to start slacking off? You think you’re ready for this fight, don’t you? See that guy across the ring? That’s no Mii character. That’s Ichiro Miyata, and he will crush your face in if you don’t defend yourself. There are even stronger opponents waiting for their chance as well. You nervous? You should be. To be honest, you don’t have much of a chance here. Maybe yo... |

Super Mario Galaxy review (WII)Reviewed on November 14, 2007Why are you interested in the Wii? Come on, be honest. It isn’t the graphics. It can’t be just the price. Don’t tell me it’s just because of the newfangled control scheme. It’s about the games, and you know it. There hasn’t been much of a reason to get a Wii in the last few months. Sure, there has been a handful of quality titles added to its library (Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption head up that list), but there haven’t been any truly amazing, awe-i... |

Half-Life 2 review (PC)Reviewed on November 14, 2007As a huge fan of the original Half Life, I was incredibly apprehensive approaching its sequel. Sure, I'd heard great things, but you hear positive consensus about a great deal of games that when you actually play, turn out to disappoint you. I was incredibly relieved to discover in my first few minutes of play, that Half Life 2 is one of those few sequels that manages to live up to the standard set by its predecessor. |

Nodame Cantabile review (DS)Reviewed on November 13, 2007You haven't read Nodame Cantabile either, have you? Conceived as a manga, adapted for both animated and live-action drama, highly praised as all three, yes, but that's not the point - any import gamer interested in the DS version is probably intrigued instead by the idea of an Ouendan with classical music, happily willing to ignore or endure any license-related distractions to that gameplay. Indeed, the title's good for some fun and has the rhythm genre's inherent addict... |

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn review (WII)Reviewed on November 13, 2007Radiant Dawn is a direct sequel to Path of Radiance. The gameplay engine is almost identical and all the characters return (to the point of overkill), so if you liked PoR, you’ll like Radiant Dawn. On the other hand, if you’re not a Fire Emblem fan, Radiant Dawn won’t do much to change your mind. It’s not the best game in the series by a longshot, but RD is still a really addicting game. |

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare review (DS)Reviewed on November 12, 2007Ooooh, terrorists. . . scary bastards. |

Bomberman Live review (X360)Reviewed on November 11, 2007Hudson has released a bunch of Bomberman games over the years. Okay, "bunch" may not be the right word here. They released a buttload of Bomberman games. And in recent years, there's been spin-offs to the original formula. They made a racing game where you ride on kangaroos, various adventure games, and titles that are just a collection of mini-games rolled into one package. However, try as they might to succeed (or fail...) in different genres, at the end of the day, when people think of... |
||
Stranglehold review (X360)Reviewed on November 11, 2007Stranglehold is about shooting people. Shooting people in slow motion as you dive through the air, shooting people as you swing from a chandelier, shooting people as you glide around on a serving cart...there's just a lot of shooting. |

Super Mario 64 DS review (DS)Reviewed on November 10, 2007Super Mario 64 – the father of modern gaming. Almost every gamer ever has played some form of this gaming classic in some form, and for good reason. Super Mario 64 did for the 3D generations of games what Super Mario Bros. did for the 2D generations of games. Simply, the game is legendary and wicked addicting and fun. Sure, by today's standards, Super Mario 64 may be showing some age, but by re-releasing the title on their latest handheld system Nintendo has breathed new life into their classic ... |

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time review (XBX)Reviewed on November 10, 2007If you’re big on shooters (or really, any game that relies on constant, intense action to keep the player, um, playing), you’ll probably be familiar with the common scenario I’m about to unravel. Say you’re playing a game that really gives you an adrenaline rush. It’s got lots of guns, blood, explosions, all that good stuff. No matter how exciting that game is, there will come a point – more than once, usually – when the weapons are briefly stowed for “quieter” segments, usually involving some o... |

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow review (DS)Reviewed on November 10, 2007No matter what game is released for a console, I have always maintained that handheld titles are the best games. I don't know what it is, but for some odd reason I am usually more entertained by handheld games. Handheld titles also have a tendency to truly start or revitalize a franchise. What about the Pokemon games? Those games started a fad that even to this day is still running strong. Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow is one of those handheld games that, for me, provide the highest form of entert... |
