    Genma Onimusha review

    About four years ago we first heard about the ''ninja Resident Evil''. I was excited about the idea at first, but it all but left my mind when I played and was disappointed by the similarly-marketed Dino Crisis. Now that the eventual…

    Taboo: The Sixth Sense review

    The thing about Tarot cards is that someone who actually believes that they are a gifted reader will offer their services for free, while the quacks are the ones jumping to charge you large sums of money to reveal your fortune and the…

    Evert & Lendl Top Player's Tennis review

    The idea behind Top Player Tennis was that it featured the top male and female tennis pros of the time, Chris Everet and Ivan Lendl (shows how old the game is), who would give you tips and lessons on how to play the game of tennis as you…

    Bad News Baseball review

    Often times, things don’t make much sense at all. For instance, there’s a popular expression that says, “A penny for your thoughts.” But there’s also a saying that says you have to “put your two cents in.” With these two statements, it’s…

    Fish Dude review

    Fish Dude is a simple game of “eat or be eaten.” The game takes place in the ocean, and you control a fish who is somewhere around the middle of the food chain. He’s pretty small and has to look out for bigger fish who will eat him, but he…

    Super Monkey Ball Jr. review

    At first glance, Super Monkey Ball Jr. brought horrible flashbacks of Marble Madness and the 3-D wooden board game Labyrinth—both of which I hated and sucked at. The resemblance was just too uncanny: navigate a little monkey in a plastic…

    Crystal's Pony Tale review

    Into the midst of all the shooters, macho beat-‘em-ups and blood-spurting fatalities galloped Crystal the pony, and showed everyone that little girls wanted things to play too. The fact that this title is now an obscurity doesn’t say much…

    Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen review

    Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen is a game of many faces. Looking at it in retrospect it was a well made game, and did what I guess it was supposed to be. It made strategy a part of gaming, and made it crucial to being a victor…

    Lady Sia review

    Lady Sia is a visually stunning, solid hack n’ slash platformer that has everything going for it except marketability. Perhaps if Sia had looked more like Lara Croft and had been dating a guy with spikey hair named Cloud this game would…

    Masters of the Universe: He-Man - Power of Grayskull review

    As a He-Man fan, I really tried to like this title. I watched the original cartoon as a kid, and had all the trinkets: the playsets, action figures, and even a He-Man sticker book. Yet I’m not so much of a fangirl as to stick up for a game…

    Britney's Dance Beat review

    Though it took a while, the wonderful, challenging, quirky and oh-so-Japanese music game genre has finally been infiltrated and butchered by the unstoppable steam-roller of mainstream America. And what better mascot to usher in this new…

    Um Jammer Lammy review

    UmJammer Lammy was a spin-off/sequel to Parappa the Rapper that I feel well deserves a sequel of its own. Actually I’ve been pining for a sequel ever since I first played the game, because as music games go UmJammer Lammy is one of the…

    E.V.O.: The Search for Eden review

    “Survival of the fittest” is the phrase that best describes E.V.O., a game that tackles the theory of evolution with an approach that flips between light-hearted playfulness and primal ferocity. Nature is, of course, both of these things…

    Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball review

    Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball. Perhaps THE most hyped-up game in 2002. Does the game render the hype justice? My answer is: maybe... The game: The ''story'' picks up where Dead or Alive 3 left. Zack wins big at the casino, decides…

    Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance review

    Ahh... Metal Gear. Who has never played one? Along with the original Phantasy Star series, the Metal Gear series is probably my best of all time. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of liberty, on the Playstation 2, has been reviewed a lot, so i'll…

    Metal Dungeon review

    The story: In another planet where technology is mixed with magic, war is omnipresent. In continuous search of more powerful weapons, powerful beings called ''gods of magic'' created ''bio-monsters''. The authorities tried to control the…

    Kana Little Sister review

    One of the biggest knocks against video games is that they do not provide any redeeming social value. This point can hardly be argued; where is the social value and moral development in games such as Grand Theft Auto III? When was the last…

    NHL Stanley Cup review

    There’s no question that hockey can be done better than this. NHL Stanley Cup is an ambitious attempt to capture the close-up excitement of hockey by using a 3D perspective and trailing camera; unfortunately this was executed clumsily and…

    King of Dragons review

    King of Dragons was one of the first so-called “beat ‘em up” games that I really got into, mostly because its fantasy setting and RPG aspects set it apart from the millions of other beat ‘em ups that all seem to involve brutish shirtless…
