    Wild Snake review

    Here’s something for anyone who was grossed out by that pit of writhing snakes in the Indiana Jones movie. Wild Snake is a game that vaguely follows the falling-block puzzle-game format, but a more accurate label would be…

    Avoid the Noid review

    Dominos wanted to advertise their pizza in more than just commercials on television, or in newspaper aids. Instead they created a classic videogame for the old PC, in which you would have to avoid the noid. A Noid was this little pink…

    Progress Quest review

    Progress Quest is funny as hell. It’s a mockup of role playing games and their fans, and it succeeds wonderfully at this point. You download it, and run it, and that’s it. It sits on your taskbar and goes through a role playing game for…

    Sonic 3D Blast review

    Fans of the Sonic series have long sat back and listened to Nintendo fanboys balk about how much better Mario is than Sonic, even though most of these people never gave Sonic a chance. Sonic the Hedgehog and its 16 bit sequels are good…

    Castlevania: Bloodlines review

    For once, Lord Dracula, sent to the blazes of Hell by another pawn bestowed by the Belmont blood, hasn't come back through means beyond human comprehension. Rather, he is preparing to make a baneful reappearance through the aid of Countess…

    Super Mario Sunshine review

    Are We Disappointed Yet? A release like that of Super Mario Sunshine brings with it some pretty high expectations. The last time Nintendo gave us a Mario game (and a rushed one at that), it was so spectacular that most would wonder if it…

    A Tear in this Old Man's Eye In my heyday - back when polygons stayed in geometry class where they belonged - the American entertainment industry first became host to what would become perhaps the most powerful symbiotic entity ever to…

    J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings Volume 1 review

    Peter Jackson’s film adaptations of The Lord of the Rings have earned well-deserved praise and respect from just about everyone except nit-picking Tolkien purists. However, some of us may remember the other LotR film, made in 1978 by Ralph…

    Unreal Championship review

    Overview: Unreal Championship is more or less the XBOX version of Unreal 2003 for PC, with some changes. Some maps are different, some elements too... Therefore UC can not simply be called a port of a PC game, but it's close. Gameplay…

    Doom 64 review

    In the Beginning… …there was Doom, and it was good. Since then, the SNES, Playstation, 32X, Jaguar, Saturn, GBA, and even the 3D0 have all had Doom ported to them. Any Doom connoisseur can probably appreciate any of these ports on some…
