	Star Voyager review (NES) Reviewed on January 04, 2008 Shooters created during the 8-bit era had one thing in common – they were all primitive. Hell, even overhead shooters today can be considered primitive. Although they are generally challenging and might sometimes feature innovative and/or creative ideas, they all have a very simple concept – shoot everything that moves and don’t get shot while attempting to rack up the highest score possible. Some might contain power ups and other neat additions, but you can’t get a more basic premise then th...
	Batman review (NES) Reviewed on January 03, 2008 There are many out there who might make the mistake of thinking Batman is just an ordinary video game. They’ll go and think things like, “it’s just an outdated platformer,” or “this just looks like some crappy licensed title from a technologically obsolete era,” or “he doesn’t have superpowers, so it’s fine if we shoot him in the mouth!” For a brief time, these thoughts crossed my mind as well. Yet after playing for just a short while, my usually normal blood pressure turned into audib...
	The King of Fighters XI review (PS2) Reviewed on January 03, 2008 Power. That’s all it’s really about, isn’t it? Never mind the wealth. Forget the glory. The King of Fighters tournaments have and always will be a struggle for power. Some want it for good. Others want it for evil. Then there are guys like Ash Crimson. He’s out to steal the mystical flames of Kusanagi and Yagami Clans. Now that the tournament is starting up again, he’s got his sights set on Kyo and Iori, the wielders of the powers he’s after. It’s not like he’s an utterly depraved villain...
	Bible Black review (PC) Reviewed on January 02, 2008 Bible Black is a vile, generally detestable anime series that's managed to develop a fan base over the years. What's lesser known is that the series is actually based on a similarly vile hentai game of the same title. The game manages to be a little better than you might expect, but not by much.
	NeoGeo Battle Coliseum review (PS2) Reviewed on January 02, 2008 Meet Goodman. Nobody really cares about him. In a world where Geese Howard and Rugal Bernstein – you know, real fighting game bosses – dominate the playing field, this fellow comes up short. He looks like a cheap Igniz knockoff, wields a fiery whip, and controls a purple ball of flame shaped like a baboon’s head. Ooh, fearsome. His design practically screams, “I’m a throwaway villain! Beware my generic scheming!” If he weren’t poised to take control of the SNK universe, he’d hardly...
	Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 review (WII) Reviewed on December 31, 2007 The party’s over, folks. Evil aliens are about to blow up the planet. There’s nothing we can do; the forces at work here are beyond the likes of you and I. How are you going to spend your last few moments of your existence? Are you going to call your loved ones? How about a pointless looting spree? If you’re going to die, you might as well go out with a smile, right? Or maybe you’re going to collapse where you stand, shedding buckets of tears and begging whichever God you worship for salvation. ...
	Dino Crisis review (PSX) Reviewed on December 30, 2007 Like zombies? Try dinosaurs! Dino Crisis was and is the answer to the question of, "If I can survive zombies, could I survive rampaging dinosaurs?" Okay, maybe that is question not many people, or gamers for that matter, tend to ask themselves but it raises a good point. Are zombies as deadly as dinosaurs? When compared to the thrilling game series that is Resident Evil, they tend to about equal in terms of deadly clawing and biting. Your enemies not only try and devour you for food but, also, b...
	Mega Man ZX Advent review (DS) Reviewed on December 30, 2007 With the Mega Man series quickly approaching a triple-digit number of games, it's no secret that the Blue Bomber has been in an absolutely ridiculous number of games. It's also no secret that many of the hero's recent entries have been noticeably lacking for one reason or another. Mega Man ZX Advent represents a return to grace for the series and is one of the most enjoyable action-adventure titles on the DS.
	Heroes of Might and Magic V review (PC) Reviewed on December 29, 2007 Throughout the series' history, Heroes of Might and Magic has asked one simple question: Might or Magic? Players of the turn-based strategy RPG have always had to deal with this dilemma, and this game isn't any different. Heroes V improves upon the old, combining the best features from all previous installments, but it also adds unique features all its own.
	The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass review (DS) Reviewed on December 28, 2007 When Nintendo tries something new with the Zelda series, it usually pays off. Moving to three dimensions in Ocarina of Time resulted in what many consider to be the best Zelda game of all time, and experimenting with an ultra-cute graphical style worked surprisingly well in The Wind Waker. Nintendo's at it again in the direct sequel to The Wind Waker, The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass. What sets this apart from past games is that the entire g...
	Halo 3 review (X360) Reviewed on December 26, 2007 When all is said and done, Halo 3 is more of the same, except there's much more of it going on this time around. And that's a good thing.
	Final Fantasy III review (SNES) Reviewed on December 25, 2007 One of the most popular debates in gaming is determining the best Final Fantasy game. Many people claim VII or X to be the best, many people are also noobs and should be shot for saying such ignorant things. Now that the fanboy flames have been ignited, I present to you what I consider to be the best of the Final Fantasy games, Final Fantasy VI.
	LocoRoco review (PSP) Reviewed on December 24, 2007 LocoRoco are a blissful blob race that look over the plants of their estranged fantastical planet. The Moja fiends are invading, and as the Locoroco you've got a mission to fend off the Moja to keep your world alive. You'll be finding and eating as much pink fruit as possible so you can get fat. Once you're fat, you can summon bolts of lightning to separate your body into mini Roco's, then collectively sing a song to wake up various anthropomorphic moons, suns, and rectangles. You'll have to...
	Need for Speed: Most Wanted review (GBA) Reviewed on December 24, 2007 This game is okay but I lost interest quickly. I got it expecting a fun NFS racing experience but ended up with nothing. First of all, the story is lame. There isn't any movie intro and all that you know about the story is what you read on the box. You have to compete in races to earn REP. When you have enough, you can compete in a boss race and if you beat him/her, you can move on to the next chapter. (There are 15 chapters in total.) On the first half of the chapters, there are only 3 races be...
	Catwoman review (XBX) Reviewed on December 23, 2007 99.999% of the people reading this review have either seen or heard about the horrendous Catwoman movie, and are coming into this review expecting it to be bashed. Though I hope the great majority of people enjoy the read, know that I'm not aiming it at them. No, this is for the .001, the one soul on the planet that is seriously thinking about buying this game.
	Herzog Zwei review (GEN) Reviewed on December 23, 2007 HERZOG ZWEI REVIEW PART 1: THE CONCEPT
	BioShock review (X360) Reviewed on December 23, 2007 I’ll admit I wasn’t too interested in the game when it was announced and I wasn’t too impressed with the demo when I played it at my friend’s house. I’m not much of an FPS fan which is why I didn’t really care much for Bioshock, however I had a feeling that Bioshock would go on to be one of those games that wins like 20+ game of the year awards and I’d be pissed at every award because I never played the game, in the same way Gears of War and Knights of the Old Republic were. But now I can actu...
	LEGO Island 2: Brickster's Revenge review (PC) Reviewed on December 23, 2007 This game was great when I was around the age level it was geared for. The puzzles were great and I never really lost interest in this game. This is how the story goes: There is an evil criminal called the Brickster that's finally caught after committing many crimes. When the police catch him, they put him in prison. After a while, he brakes out using an interesting strategy. I'll let you find that out for yourself. When he gets out, he creates havoc in the town and many other towns. Your name i...
	World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade review (PC) Reviewed on December 22, 2007 If World of Warcraft could be summed up into one phrase, it would be either "bait and switch" or "false advertising". To understand how horrid World of Warcraft really is, you must first see through all of the lies put forth by its developer, Blizzard. The first lie you'll run into is the classification of WoW as a video game. The second lie is that it's fun. The third lie is that it has actual content. Three lies, and we're not even past the box the game comes in. Get used to it, because there ...
	Mario Kart DS review (DS) Reviewed on December 22, 2007 This game is a great addition to the whole Mario Kart series and I think that it's one of the best. I enjoyed this game a lot and I definitely got what I paid for. Not only is this game single player, but multi player too. Single card, multi card, and Wi-Fi are all available on this game so whether or not your friends have it, they'll still be able to appreciate the fun that this provides. However, on Wi-Fi, there isn't as much detail as there is with multi/single card download play. When people...
