The Darkness – Review

November 1, 2007

The trials and adventures of characters in other games may resonate deeper, but there are few games that can bring their stories to life with this much impact.

Jeanne D’Arc – Review

October 19, 2007

Jeanne D’Arc, a strategy RPG based (loosely) on the historical exploits of the title character, may be the most accessible game in the entire genre.

Heavenly Sword – Review

October 12, 2007

Clichés abound in the story, but the excellent motion-captured cut scenes and overall sterling presentation overshadow the by-the-numbers plot.

Parappa the Rappa – Review

September 28, 2007

Back in the day, it was hard to resist the childlike drawing and animation, the happy tunes, and characters like a Rasta frog and a karate-teaching onion.

Spiderman 3 – Review

August 10, 2007

Swinging around Manhattan in Spiderman 3 is fun. Unfortunately, the one thing the game gets very right isn’t enough to overshadow its many faults.

Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam – Review

August 3, 2007

Eliminating the open environments and trick/mission-based challenges and focusing on downhill races, Downhill Jam creates a fast, funny, attractive racer.

The Bigs – Review

July 27, 2007

Accessible, fast-paced, arcade-style hitting, pitching, and fielding. Brawls. An entertaining create-a-rookie mode, and an addictive homerun/destruction derby.

Metal Slug Anthology – Review

July 21, 2007

The complete series on one disc. There aren’t many more satisfying 2D action games than the Metal Slug series. A non-stop blast-a-thon with a sense of humor.
