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 ... |

Altered Beast review (GEN)Reviewed on July 30, 2006Pop Quiz hotshot: What was the first pack-in game with the Sega Genesis? |

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. |

Tekken 4 review (PS2)Reviewed on July 28, 2006Tekken. Its arguably the greatest 3D fighting game series ever conceived. After years of fame and popularity in the arcades and on the Playstation, the franchise was finally ready to make that big leap onto the PS2 in hopes of maintaining its iron grip on the fighting genre. After the incredibly successful debut of Tekken Tag Tournament on the new console, the future of Tekken looked pretty brightuntil the previews for Tekken 4 started showing up. As the main series took its firs... |

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures review (GCN)Reviewed on July 28, 2006Why do Nintendo always do this? Always. |
||
The Suffering review (PS2)Reviewed on July 28, 2006After a certain point in the game, most players will be used to that sort of chaotic action, as The Suffering revels in it. Torque spends much of the game trapped in a lunatics nightmare, surrounded by panicking guards and inmates fighting each other, as well as their otherworldly foes. |

EVE Online: Second Genesis review (PC)Reviewed on July 27, 2006Imagine a sprawling universe at your fingertips: thousands of space stations ringing thousands of stars that await your presence. Beyond that, imagine that enterprising people with the necessary materials and know-how would be able to colonize, police, and otherwise run entire sectors of space, completely free of influence by outside forces. A refreshing sci-fi setting makes for an attractive alternative to any of the dime-a-dozen sword and sorcery MMOs out there. Furthering this strong sense of... |

Capcom Fighting Evolution review (PS2)Reviewed on July 27, 2006Instead of trying to update or reinvent any of its fighting franchises, Capcom continues to inflame the cross-over fighting madness with Capcom Fighting Evolution. The question of whether Ryu is stronger than some other generic 2D fighter has probably crossed your mind, but this game will make your brain bleed from its skull-bludgeoning lack of execution. Though Capc... |

Time Crisis II review (PS2)Reviewed on July 27, 2006The clock is relentless, and the only way to beat it is to get through the walls of enemies as quickly as possible. Like cockroaches, terrorist thugs pour from doorways, pop out of windows, rappel from rooftops, and leap from trees, armed with everything from pistols, to machine guns, grenades, and tanks. |

Tony Hawk's Underground 2 review (XBX)Reviewed on July 27, 2006Every now and then I forget this and foolishly revist the game, but in playing, I remember why I abandoned it. THUG2 is less about skating and more about a basic and ludicrous toilet humour that even rugby players wouldn't find amusing. |

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion review (PC)Reviewed on July 26, 2006Fiery portals to hell, evil demons, dark princes, oh my Alright, now that I have your attention, its time for Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Bethesda hit a home run in 2002 with Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. It offered this huge adventure, giving you total freedom in a gorgeous fantasy land. Fans were eagerly anticipating the next installment in the series, but after three years people were getting a little impatient. Four years later Oblivion has arrived, and it was well worth the wait. By takin... |

Antarctic Adventure review (NES)Reviewed on July 25, 2006Its no secret. Antarctica is a truly dreadful place. |

NCAA Football 07 review (PS2)Reviewed on July 25, 2006Once in a while, a game comes around that totally redefines video gaming forever. Personally, I have experienced this with a few titles, most notably Super Mario Brothers 3 and Final Fantasy 7. NCAA Football 2004 was the last game to do this for me, as the game was simply phenomenal and one of the most addicting games ever. Then, NCAA Football 2005 came around and disappointed many, including myself, with its focus on defense being the major flaw. NCAA Football 06 tried to fix the flaws, and suc... |
