Grand Theft Auto- San Andreas – Review

February 28, 2005

The first few moments may give you that “been there, done that” sensation, but once you start to grasp the depth and scope, you’ll realize how wrong you were.

Mega Man – Anniversary Collection – Review

October 4, 2004

Contains Mega Man 1 through 8; the first six culled from the NES, 7 from the Super NES, and 8 from the original Playstation. Mega Man in his true original form.

Siren – Review

October 4, 2004

Atmospheric horror is the fad prominently on display in Siren, and there’s enough of it to choke a camel. The game reeks of it.

Onimusha – Blade Warriors – Review

October 4, 2004

Fighting games can live and die off the strength of their cast, even in the face of uninspired gameplay. Unfortunately, the characters just aren’t interesting.

Tony Hawk’s Underground – Review

May 23, 2004

Tony Hawk games were presented as sports titles, with timed runs, and stated goals, free of storyline. Underground gives the player a character to develop, a plot to unravel, and a destiny to fulfill.

Nightshade – Review

May 23, 2004

There’s some story about recovering a sword to save the world – told throughout with poorly-acted cut scenes. But who cares, really? What we want is hot ninja-on-ninja action! And we get that in spades.

Manhunt – Review

May 23, 2004

Manhunt ups the bloodletting by an exponential degree. You’re a criminal, but now you are the hunted. The grisly nature of the game becomes rote and pedestrian as it plods along.

Mafia – Review

May 23, 2004

This game has big dreams. It really wants to be a movie. Between the time you hit the start button at the title screen and the time you actually get some gameplay action, you could eat more than a few cannolis.

Baldur’s Gate – Dark Alliance 2 – Review

May 23, 2004

Our story, again, is contrived and poorly realized. Bad CG with even worse voice acting, taking place immediately following the resolution of the first game.

Virtua Fighter – 4: Evolution – Review

February 2, 2004

A complete package in every sense of the phrase. It has enough game to keep you occupied for months, and it just so happens to be the best 3-D fighter made.
