Lucid Awakening review
Game: Lucid Awakening Author: Sillypieman Reviewer: The Doctor When you consider the astounding number of projects created everyday by this community, one cannot help but to wonder why the Completed Projects thread is so bare. It takes a…

Game: Master of the Wind, arc IV Authors: Volrath and Artbane Reviewer: The Doctor Time flies by. It’s already been several months since the fourth arc of Master of the Wind was released, and I’ve only just played it. As is mandatory, (And…

AeroFighters Assault review
Given that its developer is Paradigm, the company responsible for Pilotwings 64, it would be reasonable to expect Aero Fighters: Assault to do things like be competent and not suck. We're just trading a hang glider for an F14; how…

Fatal Frame review
The Project Zero series (Fatal Frame to Americans) takes survival horror into Ju-on / Ringu territory, pitting the player against vengeful Japanese ghosts and dark familial curses from the past. The films which inspired the series depict a…

Guardian of Darkness review
I don’t think Boo was lying when he told me there were review scores below 5/10. After years of only reviewing games I actually liked, delving into rubbish games territory wasn't the smoothest of transitions. I greatly credit reviewers who…

Zaxxon's Motherbase 2000 review
To this day, I have no idea why I'm a 32x fan. I mean, I know the entire concept of the 32x was stupid and that the majority of the 32x game library (if you can call it a library. I think bookshelf would be a more appropriate description)…

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl review
For a game that was in development for nearly seven years, S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl is a surprisingly mediocre first person shooter. It is tough to get excited about the several variations of a pistol, assault rifle, shotgun, etc…

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty review
The agonizing ride on the blue-ball express known as Metal Gear Solid is but a mere leg of the epic, despair-inducing journey of Metal Gear Solid 2. To be fair, MGS at least had an intelligible storyline and characters who did not randomly…

Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn review
”The Lord of Murder shall perish, but in his death he shall spawn a score of mortal progeny. Chaos will be sewn in their footsteps.” - So sayeth the wise Alaundo Exiled, guilty of fratricide, and bearing a lineage that would make even John…

Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2 review
“House”, “Grey’s Anatomy”, and “Scrubs” – name any popular show that has to do with the medical field (ignoring Dr. Phil), and chances are it is made up of two-thirds drama and one-third actual medicalspeak . As such, with Atlus’ 2005…

EarthBound review
EarthBound is a turn based RPG that is unlike any RPG of its time. The setting is 1990's America as envisioned in the quirky eye of series creator, Shigesato Itoi. He wanted to make a game that he wanted to play, and with this notion he…

The World Ends with You review
It's been a long time since I've had a good RPG to sit down with. Square Enix releasing an original game that doesn't have Final Fantasy in the title is a sight to behold. When I discovered that the team behind Kingdom Hearts was working…

.hack//G.U. Vol. 1: Rebirth review
Combat has been streamlined. You no longer have to wade through menus just to implement a single skill. Skill triggers enable you to simply press a few buttons in order to perform an ability. While it’s not perfect – you can’t utilize them…

Cannon Fodder review
Sensible Software took soccer and made it slick, speedy and easy to pick up and play, resulting in the cult classic Sensible Soccer. Using the same mechanics they turned their attention to warfare. Strip away a soccer pitch and replace it…

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift review
Luso Clemens has a problem. Several, actually. Thanks to his inability to sit still, he’s earned the ire of every parent and teacher who’s ever had to deal with him. He’s been tardy and disruptive so many times that he’s gotten himself a…

Namco X Capcom review
The majority of strategy RPGs have one major factor in common: they all tell touching stories of war-torn lands. Be it the powerful, albeit poorly-translated tale of Final Fantasy Tactics; the personable adventures in the Fire Emblem…

Sometimes, when I get a boner, I thrust my hands down into my pants to make it go away.
