Lylian: Episode 1: Paranoid Friendship review

Some time into her stay, she mysteriously finds her restraints loose and door unlocked. Free to explore the bleak and darkened corridors of the institute in search of donuts and a kidnapped Bob, the child encounters many bizarre phenomena…

Star Wars: Battlefront II review

With as many Star Wars games as there are on the market, it might be hard to imagine that any of them stand out. Knights of the Old Republic managed to do this with its famed openness and attention to morality, but even that title told its…

Eschalon Book II review

Eschalon Book II picks up right where the first left off, explaining enough as you go along so that you don’t need to have any prior experience with the series to get your full enjoyment out of it. Furthermore, all the qualities that led…

Puzzle Bots review

Puzzle Bots is one of those games that just sucks you in from the get go. Its witty writing, ironic situations and outright hilarious dialogue combine to make a light-hearted and enjoyable experience that never takes itself seriously. It’s…

.hack Part 1: Infection review

Many years ago, I watched an anime called .Hack//Sign and absolutely fell in love with it. It told the tale of a young boy trapped inside the virtual reality MMORPG, The World, and how he copes with his existence. As other players heard of…

Kingdom Hearts II review

The first Kingdom Hearts brilliantly blended the worlds of Disney and Final Fantasy in a refreshing and surprisingly unique tale. There, we followed Sora, the unsuspecting Keyblade Master who was ripped from his peaceful island home and…

Dragonester review

At first, I didn’t know how to classify Dragonester. Research led me to believe that it was some sort of raising simulation with a weird shooting component. It’s not. Rather, it’s a unique mix of genres that suck the player into a realm of…

Fantasy Wars review

When it comes to difficulty in videogames, my feelings often appear contradictory. I frequently grow impatient or bored with oppressively difficult action titles like Contra, but when I play games that actually require me to think, I revel…

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty review

Regarding Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty I have a dilemma. It’s not a bad game by any means, but it just doesn’t have the same flair its predecessor had. It’s true that some features, like stealth and basic combat, are remarkably…

Beyond Good & Evil review

With her trusty camera, Jade must unravel the truth behind the invasion. Her evidence, much of it horrifying, easily reaches the masses, and their protesting increases with each new article she publishes. Her investigations into tightly…

The Legend of Dragoon review

The connection you develop with each of the characters enables you to feel exactly as they do. Not even the occasionally rough translation interferes with the raw emotion that somehow manages to clearly express itself regardless of the…

God of War II review

This Pegasus is darker. Completely black except for fiery wings, it’s quite capable of defending itself with Kratos on its back. At a command, it’ll ram hostile griffins in the side or execute a forward dash to catch them off guard. These…

Plants vs. Zombies review

The basics are fairly straightforward. Given a scant number of slots with which to load as many fruits and vegetables as you’ve collected to that point, you must strategically select which plants will counter the various kinds of zombies…

Vay review

While you can only venture as far as the plot will allow, you never really feel restricted because of the ramped up difficulty in each new area. For example, you can’t pass through Danek-infested Fort Gilan without Pottle to reveal the…

Cutie Suzuki no Ringside Angel review

Let me say this now, so I can get it out of the way. I loathe the concept behind Cutie Suzuki no Ringside Angel. Sixteen-bit imagery or no, I see it as nothing more than a show to please men who have nothing better to do than watch…

Half-Life 2 review

The decrepit city of Ravenholm is home to many a fell beast. No longer are headcrabs and zombies your typical foe. There are far worse breeds. A hiss and a screech announce the arrival of the infamous venom crab as it launches at your…

Psychonauts review

On the surface, Psychonauts may not appear remarkable. Broken down, it’s just like any genre-fusing game. Like an RPG, it features a specially gifted character with a “Time to save the world!” complex. Like an action-adventure, you run…

Kouryuu Densetsu Villgust Gaiden review

Shortly after its release, Kouryuu Densetsu Villgust Gaiden was adapted into an animated short-film loosely based around the game itself. Yet, despite hosting several characters not present in the game, its lack of connection with much of…

Mother review

God bless Demiforce. If it weren’t for them, RPG nerds would never have had the opportunity to save the world from an unnamed threat with nothing but such ordinary items as baseball bats, frying pans and bottle rockets. They would never…

Zombies Ate My Neighbors review

I found this game randomly while searching for something interesting to play. Its sheer strangeness attracted my inquisitive mind. I didn’t realize just how odd it would be, though. If the subtle allusions to other horror icons don’t draw…
