Mario Tennis Open review
Mario Tennis is one of the most underrated spinoff series ever conceived. Ever since its debut over a decade ago, it’s gained a small, but devout following. While not quite as addictive or challenging as the Mario Kart titles, the games…

Oil Rush review
What makes this game so compelling isn't the plot (which is fairly stereotypical) or even the environment (which is quite beautiful despite the post-apocalyptic setting). It's the careful balance between a remarkably simple interface and…

Deus Ex review
The tech-noir feel can be cheesy at times, and the visuals are dated, but the game is still great. Here's a game that's versatile enough to allow you to play how you want. Here's a title filled with cleverly designed levels, special skills…

Orcs & Elves review
The developers brought us old school style, but left out the substance. The end result is a game that feels more antiquated than it should. It's funny because this game is only five years old and it's already aged worse than many of the…

Mario Tennis Open review
While you play, your view of the action shifts between two perspectives depending on how you hold the 3DS. If you hold the system in a roughly vertical position, the 3D effect is eliminated and the action is presented from a perspective…

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier review
Not only did Ubisoft delibrately implement design choices that are detrimental to the game, but they occasionally defy logic to do so. Future Soldier often forces action on you as if the game isn't meant to be played any other way. Which…

Tomb Raider: Underworld review
I don't see why the enemies have an AI that might compliment a stealth element though, when you can barely do anything with the latter, anyway. It only slightly works because the human enemies are so stupid. Seriously, throw a grenade so…

Xenoblade Chronicles review
Eons ago, two titans clashed in the middle of an endless ocean. The Bionis and the Mechonis – essentially the deities of natural and mechanical life respectively – fought each other for reasons unknown. Neither side prevailed; locked in an…

Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention review
Disgaea 3 is a fun, lighthearted experience with a lot of depth and plenty of content to keep you occupied. If it was alone on the system, it would be an easy recommendation. But when you consider the library of excellent PSP SRPGs easily…

Final Fantasy VIII review
FFVIII is just all around average. Not Square’s (now Square Enix) best showing.

Monster World IV review
What's interesting about the dungeons though, is that they all have different ideas about them, and while the overall conquering method stays the same, you'll need to borrow different approaches to do so.

Alien Crush review
It's also interesting to note that a lot of the sound in this game isn't violent or hyper like you would expect a pinball game to sound like.

Diablo III review
With so many of Diablo III's core functions being handled on Blizzard's end, the game's performance is directly tied to how well their servers are running. When you buy Diablo III, half of the game is still in another part of the country…

Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland review
There’s an astonishing level of complexity on display everywhere you turn, so you might have to wait until your second or third trip through the game before trying to actually hunt down some of the more fearsome monsters. Even then, with…

The Mist review
You'll be screwing around, attempting to input any damn command the computer might actually recognize, outside the hardware store when suddenly you'll get a "The bug just appeared" message. Now, one of two things will happen. First, if…

Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure review
Overall Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure is an enjoyable game that is simple to pick up, yet challenging enough to keep you engaged. I recommend it for both puzzle game fans, and plat former fans.

EvilQuest review
Once the shock that I was playing a wanna-be retro title wore off, all that was left was a basic, by the books action RPG. As Rotten Tomatoes likes to say, it was a genre exercise.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II review
While I'm disheartened that Episode II feels the need to reuse stuff from past titles instead of attempting a 100% fresh game, for what it is... it's still fun to play.

No Escape! review
I found myself playing session after session, hopelessly addicted to something so archaic, so simplistic. The furious pace and wicked challenge kept things interesting, and the peculiar enemy designs piqued my interest. I had to see what…
