BreakThru! review

Despite what you may think, BreakThru is, in fact, not a game about falling blocks.

Suskie · October 6, 2007

From Studio Starbreeze(the studio who brought you The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay,)The Darkness goes where few first-person shooters go, which is actually focusing on the characters and plot. The big question is, does…

Mega Man X6 review

X: "Oh, no! Zero died! I think. And there’s a virus that’s going to DESTROY THE WORLD! I got to stop that." So is a summary of the basic plot to Mega Man X6, which is probably the most useless of the side-scrolling MMX games. If you were…

Alex Kidd in Miracle World review

You know, Alex Kidd may tell us he was trained in the art of Shellcore, allowing him the ability to punch through rocks like it was nothing, but I refuse to believe that. No amount of training in the world can make him have a fist that's…

Star Wars Bounty Hunter review

Ah good ol' Star Wars. Of all the special characters in it's universe, many of us have been waiting for a game in which we play as the bounty hunter Boba Fett. And unfortunately....we still don't have it. But this game is the next best…

Project Sylpheed: Arc of Deception review

Imagine it's the year 2632. Humans have advanced technology, the ability to fly around in space with ease, and we even found alien species that resemble humans. What a small world eh?! But then imagine that life is like a video game with…

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories review

It's the game that let us release the evil hoodlum inside us. And now we have the 5th available for the Playsation 2. And like the 4th, it's a port of a PSP game. We go back to the year 1984, and we revisit Vice City, a place I know all…

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption review

The Prime trilogy comes full circle with Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. After the critically and commercially adored Metroid Prime and the low-key Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Retro Studios delivers a satisfying end to an absolutely fantastic…

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas review

Rainbow Six Vegas is not a Rainbow Six game. Sure, it shares the same title, but Ubi has thrown out pretty much everything that defined Rainbow Six. Instead, this entry is more akin to Splinter Cell than anything. Bad move, right?…

.hack//G.U. Vol. 3: Redemption review

This game is relatively fun, if you bought this game and started with this game. If you started with .Hack//G.U. Vol 1: Rebirth or .Hack//G.U. Vol. 2: Reminisce, then you are just sticking it out for the story, aren't ya? Well, this game…

Gundam Battle Assault 3: Featuring Mobile Suit Gundam Seed review

I'm gonna be honest with ya, straight out. If you're the kind of person that's critical for a game for its mechanics, graphics, story plot, etc etc, or a competitive fighter gamer then this game is absolutely HORRIBLE. Shoot yourself for…

Red Steel review

Red Steel is a Japanese wannabe game whose play has an interesting metaphorical resemblance to a happy meal. There, I summed up everything you needed to know in one simple sentence. The sad truth being, that I'm really not kidding about…

Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day review

Feeling a bit stupid? Positive that the best way to fix your stupidity is with a videogame? Well then I suppose that Brain Age 2 would be one of your best options. But if you feel nice and smart, then there's an overbearing chance that…

Guilty Gear XX: Accent Core review

There was a time when Capcom was the uncontested king of rehashes. In the ‘90s, Capcom managed to produce a seemingly endless string of re-releases with Street Fighter II. Yet, Arc System Works has stolen that title from Capcom, or at…

Slave Pageant review

Yujiro Mido and Sumi Mizuno have known each other their entire lives. They’re neighbors. They’ve attended the same schools and been in the same classes. She walks with him every afternoon, trying to take care of him. He thinks she’s…

Imagine a game where you can take a group of spies into a building, and be able to sneak around while taking on its numerous challenges it throws in your direction. Using your spies to work together as a team, you'll be able to disarm…

Ninja Gaiden review

Ryu Hayabusa is a ninja with a dark past from which he can never escape. This has nothing to do with the storylines of the Ninja Gaiden series that Ryu stars in, though. Ryu's tragic history is, in fact, his first NES outing, known simply…

King's Knight review

It’s called King’s Knight. It was made by Square. And it’s got all manner of wizards, warriors, monsters, and magical spells! Surely this is an epic RPG, rich with complex character development and deep old-school gameplay!

Mega Man Legends review

Contrary to popular opinion, first impressions aren’t everything. Consider this: Mega Man Legends looks like ass. The character models are blocky and simplistic – I swear, you could count the polygons on any given NPC. The texture work is…

Spider-Man 3 review

Let's face it: We can all remember a day when the Spider-Man games that were coming out were not so good (and ok, Spider-Man 2 for the DS wasn't either.) But starting out on the Playstation One, Spidey games began to show some true…
