Monster House review (PS2)Reviewed on August 07, 2006The level design takes advantage of each characters unique attributes. If youre in control of Chowder, you can expect fewer enemies, yet battles that are every bit as tough because your adversaries can take a lot of damage and keep right on attacking. Jenny, meanwhile, is constantly swarmed by animated chairs and other menaces that will bite savagely into her life meter if she doesnt keep moving wide of their assault. |

Bad Boys: Miami Takedown review (PS2)Reviewed on August 07, 2006It doesn't take long to realize that Bad Boys is no mere game, but an abomination. |

Burnout 3: Takedown review (PS2)Reviewed on August 05, 2006In the world of Burnout 3, people cringe at the thought of using car insurance. Imagine a virtual reality where speeding doesnt get you a ticket and crashing your car is a goal. This is Burnout 3: Takedown. In a market of street racers and driving simulations, Burnout 3 stands out among the crowd. Through fusing different types of game modes, it finds that middle ground, providing a breath of fresh air. Theres no complicated customization or tuning to worry about, just driving wildly. This pro... |

Galaga review (X360)Reviewed on August 04, 2006So it is that we come to a new question: though Galaga has worked for many years, how does it fare on the Xbox 360? The answer is that it does quite well for itself, if youre not expecting anything more than what the game has always been. |

New Super Mario Bros. review (DS)Reviewed on August 04, 2006Everyones favorite hero, Mario, returns to his plumbing roots in New Super Mario Bros, essentially a more detailed look at the 1985 classic, Super Mario Bros. Despite being showcased in Super Mario Strikers and Mario Baseball, NSMB shows that Mario still can be the perfect piece in an excellent side scrolling adventure, and it brings a simple control scheme that allows for crazy level design. The plot and some of the environments from Super Mario Bros are re-used, but the game is significantly ... |

Ghosts 'N Goblins review (NES)Reviewed on August 04, 2006Ghosts 'n Goblins exemplifies the worst kind of challenge in a game: a game that is ridiculously hard solely to piss off whoever plays it. Ghosts 'n Goblins has no real agenda other than to make you mad. And it will succeed in that mission long before you ever complete the game. This is the kind of game where the developers purposely jacked up the difficulty to disguise the fact that their game plays like a fart. It looks bad, it sounds bad, it plays horribly, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a... |

Exile review (GEN)Reviewed on August 03, 2006However, I soon realized that virtually everything had suddenly been reduced to nothing more than speed bumps. If an enemy hit me, I didnt even flinch. My preferred boss strategy was simply to stand in front of the villain and hit the attack button as rapidly as I could until it perished. At some point in the game, Sadler learned magic. I never cast a single spell. I also didnt bother purchasing the stat-enhancing items and only used a total of four healing goods (two during the final boss fight). |

Final Fantasy X-2 review (PS2)Reviewed on August 02, 2006A lot of people were surprised when the first Final Fantasy sequel was announced, though it shouldnt have been a big shock. Final Fantasy X was one of the most beautiful games created for the PS2 and had a rabid following among the legions of Final Fantasy fans. Adding onto that loyalty, the somewhat bittersweet ending of FFX left many without the proper closure they needed to move on. So the folks at Square-Enix threw a bone to their fans by releasing Final Fantasy X-2. |

Jade Empire review (XBX)Reviewed on August 02, 2006In the Jade Empire, something strange is afoot. Corruption is winding its way to the highest levels of government, and some begin to wonder why the Emperor hasnt stepped in and stopped it. Far removed from these troubles, your life as a young fighter is peaceful. You spend each day training under the tutelage of the kind Master Li. While you do have run-ins with some of your fellow students, most of your peers respect and like you. Soon, however, your life takes a drastic change. Pirates raze y... |

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King review (PS2)Reviewed on August 02, 2006After a long absence, Enix's Dragon Quest series returns to the US in Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King. This time around, the story begins with a small group of strange travelers camped out in the woods. Leading the motley group is the Hero, a retainer from the ruined Trodain castle seeking to restore it to its former glory. Hes joined by a bandit named Yangus, who follows him around like a puppy, The Heros liege King Trode, and Trodes beautiful daughter Medea. Well, she would be... |

Kingdom Hearts review (PS2)Reviewed on August 02, 2006It's rare that a game comes along that reminds you of the best moments in your childhood and yet is still fun enough to keep you interested beyond mere nostalgia. Kingdom Hearts does just that through solid action-RPG gameplay which balances the timeless history of Disney with the unequaled gaming pedigree of Square. In this tale, you play the role of Sora, a young boy who lives on a small island and dreams of exploring the world beyond with his two best friends, Riku and Kairi. He has been havi... |

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords review (XBX)Reviewed on August 02, 2006The original Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic was a landmark RPG for the Xbox and a homerun in pretty much every way possible. KOTOR applied Bioware's proven RPG chops to the exciting mythos of the "galaxy far, far away" and gave the rabid Star Wars fan base a game that was worthy of the franchise's name. It certainly wasnt surprising that LucasArts would want to capitalize on that success by releasing a sequel quickly. A scant one year after KOTOR hit shelves, fledgling studio Obsidian E... |

Grandia Xtreme review (PS2)Reviewed on August 01, 2006Grandia faithfuls know that long dungeons aren't a problem with this series. Its Active Time Battle combat system is one of the best around, and Xtreme improves it. |

Doom review (SNES)Reviewed on July 30, 2006A game with a first personEpoint of view. As a 14 year old console gamer who had never owned a PC, the idea didn't even make sense to me. How did you move around? Still, something about the screens featured in my favorite gaming magazine haunted me during the weeks leading up to my 15th birthday, and as I stood in the store isle with my planned purchase (Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3) in one hand and the SNES version of the enigmatic Doom in the other, I made a last-minute choice that would change ... |

Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence review (PS2)Reviewed on July 30, 2006Dealing with a special edition of a game is tricky business. Chances are, youve got the original version, played through it a fair share of times, and thought it was the best damn thing since sliced bread. But when that newer version comes out, youre left with a choice: buying it because you enjoyed the original so much, or ignore it because of the gaming companys blatant attempt to get more cash out of your wallet. Either choice poses a risk; should you shell out the extra money, you may fin... |

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre review (A2600)Reviewed on July 30, 2006While it certainly pushes the envelope in terms of content even by todays standards, this massacre of good taste quickly runs out of gas both metaphorically and quite literally. |

N3: Ninety-Nine Nights review (X360)Reviewed on July 29, 2006Ninety-Nine Nights is grand, sweeping, and epic. Each character's attack style is varied, each storyline is different, and the secret character's adventure is a BLAST. At the best of times, the game's thoroughly engrossing and a joy to play. Unfortunately, because of numerous design issues, it can't fend off the bellowing swarms of other, better, older brawlers. |
