LocoRoco review (PSP)Reviewed on December 24, 2007LocoRoco are a blissful blob race that look over the plants of their estranged fantastical planet. The Moja fiends are invading, and as the Locoroco you've got a mission to fend off the Moja to keep your world alive. You'll be finding and eating as much pink fruit as possible so you can get fat. Once you're fat, you can summon bolts of lightning to separate your body into mini Roco's, then collectively sing a song to wake up various anthropomorphic moons, suns, and rectangles. You'll have to... |

Need for Speed: Most Wanted review (GBA)Reviewed on December 24, 2007This game is okay but I lost interest quickly. I got it expecting a fun NFS racing experience but ended up with nothing. First of all, the story is lame. There isn't any movie intro and all that you know about the story is what you read on the box. You have to compete in races to earn REP. When you have enough, you can compete in a boss race and if you beat him/her, you can move on to the next chapter. (There are 15 chapters in total.) On the first half of the chapters, there are only 3 races be... |

Catwoman review (XBX)Reviewed on December 23, 200799.999% of the people reading this review have either seen or heard about the horrendous Catwoman movie, and are coming into this review expecting it to be bashed. Though I hope the great majority of people enjoy the read, know that I'm not aiming it at them. No, this is for the .001, the one soul on the planet that is seriously thinking about buying this game. |

BioShock review (X360)Reviewed on December 23, 2007I’ll admit I wasn’t too interested in the game when it was announced and I wasn’t too impressed with the demo when I played it at my friend’s house. I’m not much of an FPS fan which is why I didn’t really care much for Bioshock, however I had a feeling that Bioshock would go on to be one of those games that wins like 20+ game of the year awards and I’d be pissed at every award because I never played the game, in the same way Gears of War and Knights of the Old Republic were. But now I can actu... |

LEGO Island 2: Brickster's Revenge review (PC)Reviewed on December 23, 2007This game was great when I was around the age level it was geared for. The puzzles were great and I never really lost interest in this game. This is how the story goes: There is an evil criminal called the Brickster that's finally caught after committing many crimes. When the police catch him, they put him in prison. After a while, he brakes out using an interesting strategy. I'll let you find that out for yourself. When he gets out, he creates havoc in the town and many other towns. Your name i... |

World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade review (PC)Reviewed on December 22, 2007If World of Warcraft could be summed up into one phrase, it would be either "bait and switch" or "false advertising". To understand how horrid World of Warcraft really is, you must first see through all of the lies put forth by its developer, Blizzard. The first lie you'll run into is the classification of WoW as a video game. The second lie is that it's fun. The third lie is that it has actual content. Three lies, and we're not even past the box the game comes in. Get used to it, because there ... |

Mario Kart DS review (DS)Reviewed on December 22, 2007This game is a great addition to the whole Mario Kart series and I think that it's one of the best. I enjoyed this game a lot and I definitely got what I paid for. Not only is this game single player, but multi player too. Single card, multi card, and Wi-Fi are all available on this game so whether or not your friends have it, they'll still be able to appreciate the fun that this provides. However, on Wi-Fi, there isn't as much detail as there is with multi/single card download play. When people... |

Zone of the Enders review (PS2)Reviewed on December 22, 2007Imagine a situation wherein a group of terrorists captured, say, all of New York. With a small army of remote drones and actual soldiers, they don't sneak in, they flood in over the bridges and within minutes have control over the entire city. The situation is chaotic and fragile. People die, both intentional and unintentional deaths. Panic is widespread. The situation is...well, crazy, for the lack of a better word. |

Unreal Tournament review (PC)Reviewed on December 22, 2007The Unreal series originated in 1998 and was critically acclaimed for its single-player campaign, advanced AI and graphics, but its multiplayer mode was underdeveloped. This offering follows the traits of the original, but with a switched emphasis on multiplayer over single-player to rival its contemporaries such as Quake III Arena. Updates in 2003 and 2007 have updated the graphics drastically but still retain the same fundamental formula of open-ended arena blasting. |

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl review (PC)Reviewed on December 21, 2007S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl has to be one of the more unique first person shooters to be released on the market. The game combines the ideas of a traditional first person shooter, with a horror survival aspect, as well as some RPG roots. After a long period of waiting, will gamers be pleased to finally be able to explore "The Zone"? |

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men review (X360)Reviewed on December 21, 2007Kane & Lynch: Dead Men. A story about a flawed mercenary and a medicated psychopath. The title says it all: Kane and Lynch are dead men. The game comes from the creators of the Hitman franchise and Freedom Fighters. The game obviously comes from good stock, and the story appeared to be quite promising. So, how does the game hold up? |

Stranglehold review (X360)Reviewed on December 21, 2007In 1992, director John Woo released the cult action film Hard Boiled, forever to be known for it's stylish gunplay and a body count that set records in film history. Now, 15 years later, Chow Yun Fat and John Woo reunite to continue the story of Inspector Tequila, and to dispense their own brand of justice, with John Woo's unique sense of style. |

Vay review (SCD)Reviewed on December 21, 2007Like many RPGs, Vay begins with an ancient legend, told in full voiceover, that is sure to become relevant to the main character’s goals as he struggles to overcome insurmountable evil. |

Super Mario Galaxy review (WII)Reviewed on December 21, 2007I once heard a kid in a wheelchair say that Mario is the most well-known game character ever, that both hardcore and casual gamers know who he is. Everyone from the geek down the street who stays inside playing games 24/7, to your parents, to girls, all know who Mario is. As a result of this, Mario has progressed from stomping on turtles to his name appearing on just about every game genre possible. While being whored all the time, gamers keep faith that every five years or so, Mario will ret... |

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock review (WII)Reviewed on December 21, 2007It’s only been two years since the first Guitar Hero exploded onto the wannabe rock star scene. While I joined the party a few months after the initial release it was undoubtedly the most awesome experience I ever had. That next year, Guitar Hero II released with much hype and in many ways I felt that killed the game. The songs included weren’t as memorable as “More Than A Feeling” from Boston, “Iron Man” from Black Sabbath, or the original “Guitar Hero” song, then again I’m not much of a mus... |

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass review (DS)Reviewed on December 21, 2007As each Zelda game releases there seems to be a celebration among gamers. I’m not a person to miss a Zelda game and I went through a roundabout way of playing this game. I bought the game despite I didn’t have a working DS. After asking some buddies from afar to send me their DS’s I managed to acquire one. A Link to the Past is my all-time favorite game in the series while Wind Waker is probably my favorite 3D adventure. When I first saw the trailer to Phantom Hourglass with Wind Waker visua... |

Drawn to Life review (DS)Reviewed on December 21, 2007I’m a sucker for a solid create-a-character mode, to the point where it often distracts me from getting anything else done in a game. I could make wrestlers for hours without doing any actual wrestling, or spend a day assembling a football team full of wide receivers that are seven-foot-four, 400 pounds, and can outrun a Kenyan. And it isn’t just sports games that reel me in – games that rely solely on the user to create the protagonist don’t escape this curse, either. I couldn’t tell you the ma... |

Heroes of Mana review (DS)Reviewed on December 21, 2007It's been proven time and time again that Square-Enix cannot make anything that isn't a Final Fantasy style RPG. They had Ergheiz, the horrid FF-based attempt by Square to make a fighting game. They had Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, where 99% of the fun value was drawing bad MSPaint comics portraying Marche as a villain. And now, finally, Square releases a third abortion, based off Secret of Mana and it's sequel. Heroes of Mana is at best Starcraft with a thin Squaresoft shell over it. At worst... |
