A Review By Shodan2020 in Xbox LIVE Arcade » Action
I was born in 1982. This accounts for a lot of my likes and loves from music tastes to videogames. That being said. I was raised on the old Mega Man NES games. Mega Man 9 goes backwards to go forward in that sense. The graphics, music, story, and gameplay are all delightfully 8-bit and while these certainly won't impress and may frighten aw...

A Review By Siraris in Xbox 360 » Action
I did, and I'm sorry. The commercial is too good not to reference, and in some ways is too good for the game it is promoting. You watch the commercial with the catchy yet simplistic tune that many have admitted to getting stuck in their head for days, the beautifully crisp CG, and you are enticed. When I hadn't seen a commercial...

A Review By Siraris in PlayStation 3 » Adventure
Most reviews of games concentrate on providing a spoiler free, unbiased look at a game, with the intent purpose of informing individuals about whether or not they should buy a game. While this type of review is tried and tested, it limits the view of the game based on the simple fact that the reviewer is not allowed to really discuss the ga...

Hello again, readers. Another review of a game, and it's actually three reviews in one! This time, I'm talking about the PS2 set -- Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection.

A Review By KamaItachi in Wii » Driving
For the most part, Mario Kart Wii makes a good stab at balancing the hectic, cut-throat gameplay of the series with the "anyone can play" appeal and simple, intuitive ideas of motion control that made Wii Sports such a hit. The more simplistic approach, exemplified by the brothers Mario waving their wii wheels i...

A Review By Darkbase in Xbox » Action
"They were all dead. The final gunshot was an exclamation mark to everything that had led to this point. I released my finger from the left mouse button. And then it was all over." Max Payne is a third-person shooter that captures the atmosphere and story of a gritty noir film with stylis...

A Review By JediSanf in PC » Adventure
They're shouldn't be many gamers out there that are not in some way familiar with Guybrush, Elaine, the Dread Pirate LeChuck, and everyone's favorite talking head Murry but, since our generation is now birthing baby gamers who will never appreciate the wonder of VGA gaming, herein lies a concise history of the Monkey Island Trilogy, the games dep...

A Review By tashi in PlayStation 2 » Puzzle
Mad Maestro! is a very fun rhythm game for PS2. Instead of having peppy techno pop music, however, it has classical music. Thirty-four classical songs, to be exact, and instead of playing a musical instrument, you conduct an orchestra. Mad Maestro! is a sweet game, and easy to get used for less than $5. Even in the current generation of gaming wi...

A Review By GRUMPYgamer in PlayStation 3 » Driving
I must say I was amused for the first half hour. At first you'll notice that your moving 3 miles an hour (unlike the thrilling speed of burnout or need for speed). But that will change once the boost comes in, its a thrilling experience, at first. All the cars and routes you can take. It was very fun. And the crashes, the first few times youll be...

A Review By tashi in Wii » Action
Metal Slug Anthology is a pretty terrible game. It includes Metal Slugs 1 through 6. Playing any of them is frustrating and dissatisfying. It’s painfully apparent Metal Slug is an arcade game designed for arcade systems and has no place on a home console. Story The Metal Slug series has no story. Wikipedia and a bonus feature ...

A Review By Devilturnip in PC » Adventure
When Metal Gear Solid was released in 1998, it was a breath of fresh air. Featuring great graphics, a compelling storyline, and novel game play concepts, the first entry in this storied franchise absolutely captivated me. It was, and remains, one of the few games captivating enough to carry me through multiple play throughs. As Konami recentl...
