Silent Hill review
I feel for you, genuinely feel for you, if you've yet to play Silent Hill.

The Unfinished Swan review
I dunno, it seems pretty finished to me.

Zoda's Revenge: Star Tropics 2 review
The original StarTropics was mostly confined to a random series of tropical islands, and everything blended together after a while. In Zoda's Revenge, you control Mike Jones as he travels from a prehistoric land, to ancient Egypt, to other…

Skylanders Giants review
Even when it’s not adding new features, Skylanders Giants represents an improvement over its capable predecessor. Level design doesn’t take you through quite the obvious variety of areas, but there are some truly ambitious areas that…

ActRaiser review
While it doesn't take much reading between the lines for a person to at least grasp the fundamentals of this, Nintendo's censorship did take away some of the impact this sort of plot might have, leaving us with the sort of standard fantasy…

Try Not to Fart review
When button icons appear, you need to press and hold the button or buttons indicated until the icons start to flash, at which point you need to release them. If you press the wrong button, you’ll sneak a fart that lasts until you release…

Mass Effect 3 review
So, yeah, bitching and moaning can easily apply, but then something fantastic comes together, and everything is blown out of the water.

Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness - Episode 3 review
To keep battles from being stale, a decent number of them have special stipulations which can work in your favor, the monsters' favor or in an unexpected way — such as when you fight the alien leader in an outer space dimension and find…

Retro City Rampage review
Hey guys, remember Saved by the Bell? Isn't it hilarious that Saved by the Bell was a thing?

Borderlands 2 review
There are an insane number of guns in the game, and they grant some nice boosts to the damage you inflict. Your character can’t equip weapons that are too powerful, though, so there’s always motivation to level grind together with friends…

Nights Into Dreams review
Doesn't play quite like a dream any more, but close enough.

Seems like Sonic Team really did "Live And Learn" m i rite?

Code of Princess review
It’s easy to appreciate each of those characters, from the busty heroine, to the shifty young bard, to a disinterested necromancer and a brutish fellow who likes cuddly forest animals. There is enough charisma here to support a properly…

Illusion of Gaia review
In fact, the beginning of the game is pretty much one big cliche. Shortly after the game begins, Will unintentionally gets on the wrong side of the local king and queen and is forced to flee the area with the rulers' spoiled and naive…

Assassin's Creed: Revelations review
If you try hard enough, you can get past all of that and have a reasonably good time even without prior knowledge, but of course that’s not the point. If you play Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, the point is that you’ve come all this way…

Dead or Alive 5 review
The petite Leifang no longer looks like she might easily win an arm wrestling contest against the hulking behemoth that is Bass, for instance, which lends encounters between certain characters some of the impact that they lacked…

The Terminator review
We ended up with lame Terminator games for both the SNES and Genesis, perpetuating the belief that movie-based games always suck. But The Terminator for Sega CD is different. This isn't an enhanced port of the twenty-minute Genesis game…

River City Ransom review
The main challenge for me when playing River City Ransom was simply surviving the trek between the second and third malls, as you have to travel through many screens and the easier gangs are weeded out in favor of ones that cause a lot…
