The World Ends With You

The Genre Ends

A Review By Tel Prydain in Nintendo DS » Role Playing Game

Back when I got my first DS, the majority of the available games consisted of simple puzzle games, licensed trashed and a few well-polished first-party games. I recently picked up a new DS, and I’m happy to report that this is no longer the case. The World Ends With You is a great example of the kind of games that the DS is now host to. ...

The Wonderful End of the World

Been Done, But Still Fun

A Review By jpublic in PC » Puzzle

For those of you who are Steam whores like me, and have the ability (of dubious value) to purchase under-$20 games without even flinching, you tend to discover life is pretty hit or miss with new releases on Steam.  But every once in a while you hit a gem. At $10, The Wonderful End of The World, by Dejobaan Games may be one of those ge...

Too Human

An Excellent Waste of Time

A Review By Texas Speed in Xbox 360 » Action

Please don't take that title the wrong way.  While some gamers no doubt feel that way about playing the game, I certainly don't.  What it really refers to is the true strength of Too Human's gameplay.  I've put a lot of hours into this game.  I've been through the story multiple times, and replayed levels outside of the story co...

Two Worlds

Simply Breathtaking.

A Review By alienmastermind in Xbox 360 » Role Playing Game

My next review will have a Ninja Squad comic, and some pretty pictures with captions, I promise. It's just that I had to get this off my chest as soon as I could. -- AM I'd like to take the time to come clean with you fine readers. In the interest of full disclosure, I should let you guys and girls know that I didn't play Two Worlds for mor...

The Incredible Hulk

It's So Un-Glamorous

A Review By alienmastermind in Xbox 360 » Action

  I know...This comic is about Ninja Gaiden II. Specifically, THIS blog entry by the mastermind behind Team Ninja, the games designers behind the XBOX-lovin' Tecmo series. Guys like Itagaki and Myamoto make the world a better place, somehow. We NEED crazies like these guys to provide us with sublime entertainment. Now, th...

Launching alongside one of the most anticipated consoles of the next-generation hardware, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess had a lot of expectations to meet.

The Incredible Hulk

Hulk Angry!

A Review By MrBibbz in Xbox 360 » Action

Where to begin with the latest incarnation of the Hulk video game franchise. Gamefly shipped my copy to me and I was totally excited for this game based on the upcoming movie as I missed out on Ultimate Destruction; this open sand box idea was something that sounded very appealing.      That's where it all goes ...

Team Fortress 2

Stylish, Bloody Fun

A Review By gamer odd in PC » Action

I guess I had better start this off by saying that I was never into the original Team Fortress game, so I can't really compare the two. What I can do is judge the game for what it is and how it holds up in the current sea of multiplayer shooters. GAMEPLAY The foundation for TF2 is the 9 different characters you can play as. Each characte...

Team Fortress 2

Gold Rush Update - Review

A Review By Hugs in PC » Action

Team Fortress 2 has been out for a couple of months now, and not to say it was getting bland, but this is a very welcome addition to Valves Class-Based first Person Shooter. What benefits most from this update is the Medic Class, who was a little boring in comparisson to other classes, but the new Map, Goldrush and the new&...

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2

Disappointingly good...

A Review By lost in PlayStation 3 » Action

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 has been described as one sequel too far for the Tom Clancy name. I disagree, it's not a sequel at all. Sequel to me suggests bigger and better everything. This game is not that. This game is a set of missions that should probably have made it into the fairly short first game. That is not to say that the game is une...

The World Ends With You

The World Ends With You

Held at the Shibuya district, you're given a mission for each day, which may involve helping people with their problems, clearing areas of Noise, or possess ...

The World Ends With You

Double the screens, double the fun

A Review By tashi in Nintendo DS » Role Playing Game

The World Ends With You is an amazing DS game. It proves once again that handheld games don't have to be trite, pointless, or short. I've played this game countless hours, and the endgame content is such high quality I know I'll be playing this game much longer. The World Ends With You gives you a solid gaming experience, and then it gives you co...

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

If it isn't broken, fix it anyways

A Review By Harbinger in Wii » Action

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is an action adventure game that sticks its roots - roots that had been planted over twenty years ago. It maintains the story structure that has been rehashed over ten times in the past two decades. While there are many innovations and improvements to the core game-play, this is a game that takes one step fo...

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Great game - 10 years ago

A Review By grognard66 in Wii » Action

I've seen this far too many times before. The "professional" gaming journalists leave their standards at the door in fear of backlash from the revival tent fanboys of a particular franchise (MGS, GT, Zelda, FF). At least in this case it has only taken a few months to hear them speculating aloud whether they may have over-scored this one. ...

The World Ends With You

My impression

A Review By Time in Nintendo DS » Role Playing Game

Developer: Square Enix Platform: DS I got to play this game for a while, and what I saw I was very impressed with. Although I haven't played through the entire game, I got a good taste of it. Boy oh boy was it a sweet taste! The Story: In The World Ends With You (TW), you end up in a second universe type deal. You bump int...
