Breath of Fire review

Breath of Fire is a classic RPG ported from the SNES to the newly made Gameboy Advance. They added a bit to the game, but kept the original entertainment that had always been there. I was one person who never got to experience any of the…

Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast review

The last Star Wars game I played was Dark Forces for the PS1. I don't know if any of you have ever played that title, but it was one of the most horrid gaming experiences I've ever had. I think I quit after the 3rd level. That was about…

Kakuto Chojin review

As a fan of fighting games, I've been kind of disappointed with the lack of games the Xbox has in this genre. As of a couple weeks, all the Xbox had was Kabuki Warriors, UFC Tapout, and Dead or Alive 3. One good game and two crappers. This…

Donkey Kong Land 2 review

Instead of making it an entirely new Donkey Kong game, like they did before, this time they just ported the game as accurately as they could from the SNES. That was really not a bad mood, for Donkey Kong Country 2 was a very good game, and…

Star Fox Adventures review

Zelda light: This game, while technically excellent is far from being Rares best work. Control wise you couldn't ask for better or easier controls. I don't think it is any different than the control scheme used in the Zelda games in the…

Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001 review

Do we all remember Street Fighter from the good ol' days? I always will, as that is one series which shook the ground from under me. So when I saw that there was another fighter with the Street Fighter characters in it, I knew I had to…

Metroid Prime review

From the opening this game is a grabber and doesn't let go. This is, probably, the best crafted game that I have played since Perfect Dark. Graphically speaking this game is excellent. From the fine detail to the shading and lighting…

F-Zero: Maximum Velocity review

F-Zero X was a grand game for the N64, and showed that there were more than just kart racing and car racing in the racing industry. Now there was the master of hovercrafts, who had appeared in two different games on two different systems…

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell review

Splinter Cell is one of the more hyped and anticipated games I've seen lately. People said it was going to be better than Metal Gear. People said it was going to bring an entirely new gaming experience. People said it was going to be the…

Donkey Kong review

The original Donkey Kong from the Nintendo industry was a huge hit. That is one of the things that put them on the board, and why not give people the chance to play it around a decade later on the new handheld gameboy. But you can't just…

Blood Wake review

I just picked up this game for twenty bucks on a bargain shelf. Why would I buy a game off the bargain shelf, you ask? Well, I only had twenty bucks, and I heard it was a sweet game (a while ago). Well, as it turns out, whoever told me it…

Grand Theft Auto III review

Now and then there is a game that comes along that is like nothing else. A game that lets you live out your darkside, that everyone inevitably has. To be able to go ''whack'' some punk boy on the street, or go Kamikaze with cops shooting…

Halo: Combat Evolved review

Halo is the first Xbox game I ever played. To this day, it’s also the BEST Xbox game I’ve ever played. In Halo, you take the role of this guy called Master Chief. You’re the elite super-soldier of the Earth’s military. When the game…

Animal Crossing review

Animal Crossing barely made it to America. Can you believe that... It was originally Animal Forest and released it to Japan. They then improved upon the game and set up a release for America. I was psyched, I love the Harvest Moon series…

Jacac review

Buy big collections of games from various people, you always have the fillers, and that is what Jacac is; a filler. For a filler it isn't that bad, and it is very similiar to the much more famous Iron Tank. You ride around in a tank and…

Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance review

I am a Castlevania fanatic, and follow each and every one of them like a cult member follows his leader. You could say I am a member of the Castlevania cult. The games suck you in with it's excellent gameplay, and keep you there with it's…

Buffy the Vampire Slayer review

Virtua Fighter 4 review

There was a time when fighting games were as common as raindrops. Every day there were a few new ones released, mostly identikit, and mostly decidedly average affairs. This was due to the incredible success of Street Fighter 2, by Capcom…

Jet Force Gemini review

Some games get alot of fame in the press, but not in the sales, and Jet Force Gemini is the perfect game. It had quickly gained it's own cult fans, and was getting absurdly high reviews by professionals and minors alike. Did it deserve…

Balloon Fight review

An interesting game of sorts. The point is to drop down on your balloon, and pop your opponents balloons before they do the vice-versa to you. This is a very old game, and yet it was easily one of the best games for the NES, until at least…
