Pac-Man review

I know what you’re thinking. Pac-Man? Survival Horror? Yes, a genre made famous by such classics as Alone in the Dark, Clock Tower, and Resident Evil actually got its start as one of the first video games ever created. You still don’t…

Last Gladiators Digital Pinball review

Man, I love playing with balls. Especially silver balls I get to smack around with flippers. And when I play with one long enough, a whole bunch of silver balls come out wanting to get smacked as well. If you think I'm talking about…

Lunar Knights review

After centuries of getting their asses kicked, vampires have learned one important thing: Dracula is overrated. No longer must the creatures of the night rely on some dark lord to suddenly appear. Instead, the bloodthirsty villains have…

Clockwork Knight review

In Clockwork Knight, you play the role of a wind-up toy, Pepperouchau, who has the daunting task of saving the kidnapped Princess Chelsea (yup, that plot). As you take control of this little toy knight, you'll end up traveling through…

Altered Beast review

WIZE FWOM YOU GWAVE! As these words boom through the Acropolis, a zombie lurches to his feet and prepares for the fight of his undead life. Zeus, the head honcho of the Greek gods (and apparently Elmer Fudd in disguise), has drafted this…

DefCon 5 review

Overwhelmed and irritated. Those are the feelings you'll get when you play through Defcon 5 for the very first time. As you set foot on a defense station in space, you need to make it all the way up to the Control Room and install a…

Sam & Max Episode 1 - Culture Shock review

Most reviews of the latest Sam and Max game (Sam and Max – Culture Shock) begin with the reviewer recalling his or her past experiences with the series. I don’t have those experiences. In all honesty, I’ve never particularly cared for…

Devil May Cry review

Whoo! Rock and roll and eat lots of pizza, baby! Or not. Ole Dante doesn’t scarf any pie on his debut outing, but never fear. You’ll busting too many demon skulls with flashy gunplay and high flying sword moves to worry about what’s for…

Comix Zone review

Meet Sketch Turner. He’s just an average guy, a man trying to make a living with his skills as an artist. In fact, he’s working on his latest work of art, a surrealistic comic book series that could garner him nationwide acclaim. But until…

Strider review

As darkness falls across the land, a figure moves through the shadows. This mysterious person is armed with his trusty katana, a seemingly endless supply of shurikens, and the combat prowess of a hardened warrior. His purpose is simple…

Mr. Bones review

mr. Bones is definitely an experience, I'll give it that. For instance, early on in the game, after mr. Bones, a blue-eyed skeleton, manages to get away from an army of skeletons after three stages, he stumbles onto a cabin after hearing a…

SSX On Tour review

As you stand on the top of the hill, the chilly breeze flows past you like a wave of ice. The sun is still climbing toward the midday sky, but it has done little to warm the surrounding mountainside. It snowed last night; there’s a fresh…

Metal Gear Acid review

As a longtime fan of the Metal Gear series, I met Metal Gear Ac!d for the PSP with a mixture of joy and reservations. On one hand, I was getting a full-length, portable Metal Gear experience with all of the crazy plot twists and characters…

Virtua Cop review

You know what? I don't even have to review Virtua Cop, because once I tell you the names of the main characters, you'll wanna play it anyway. Michael Hardy and James Cools. Also known as Rage and Smarty. .... not enough? Pfft, you're hard…

Daytona USA: Championship Circuit Edition review

Despite its attempts to be an improvement over the original Daytona USA, Daytona USA: Championship Circuit Edition still sucks. Graphically. You'll still be able to spot pop-ups that appear in each track, though, things don't pop-up as…

Meet Diddy Kong. He’s one of the few video game sidekicks that have managed to garner the attention of countless gamers around the world. At first glance, you wouldn’t think that this little primate is one of the greatest unsung heroes of…

History was made when Nintendo released The Legend of Zelda internationally in 1987 for the Nintendo Entertainment System. A vast world, open-ended gameplay, and a battery autosave function made it one of the most advanced console games of…

In the Hunt review

The world is screwed up. Well, mostly screwed up, since the Dark Anarchy Society has taken over half of the planet with its use of brute force. And if no one puts a stop to them anytime soon, the rest of the world will be met with D.A.S.'s…

Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner review

In Zone of Enders 2, you beat up robots. The game gives you as many robot beating options you could ever want, so naturally, there’s a lot to like about this game. However, the game ultimately suffers from a lack of content. The gameplay…

Impact Racing review

Impact Racing could have turned out to be a decent, combat racing title. Yes, decent. Unfortunately, it fails because it's too demanding at what it tries to do. The concept's interesting: make everything revolve around destroying cars…
