Review: World Heroes

While not the most original fighting game of the 1990s, World Heroes does have a certain charm. The graphics are good, the controls are competent enough and there's an interesting cast of characters....

Review: Kane & Lynch: Dead Men

Kane & Lynch is a good idea that is plagued by poor controls, unbalanced weapons, a boring story and some questionable writing. That's not to say that you won't have a good time playing through this ...

Review: John Deere: Harvest in the Heartland

What can I say? Farming is no fun. You have to get up early, you are constantly getting dirty, you have to deal with unruly animals and it can be a thankless experience. In other words, it suc...

Review: Manhunt 2

While this is hardly the best version of Manhunt 2 on the market, it does make me wonder if we might start to see some of Rockstar's bigger (and better) games on the Nintendo Wii. Manhunt 2 is a good...

Review: Bloody Wolf

Bloody Wolf was a first-generation TurboGrafx-16 game, but don't hold that against it. This is yet another one of those action games where you kill a small army in order to save the President. The o...

Review: Blazing Lazers

Some may argue that the TurboGrafx-16 has too many shooters. But not us, we feel that it's a solid system with dozens of rock solid 2D shooting games. Blazing Lazers is one of the best, it features ...

Review: Bee Movie Game

Believe it or not the Bee Movie Game is actually a fun little game that does an excellent job of recreating everything that was good about the recent Dreamworks movie. It doesn't do much groundbreaki...

Review: Virtua Fighter 5 Online

Released six months after the PlayStation 3 version, Virtua Fighter 5 proves to be an even better game on the Xbox 360. Not only are the graphics as good as they can be, but the game sports some of t...

Review: TimeShift

TimeShift has a great concept that should have added something new and original to the crowded first-person shooter genre. Unfortunately Sierra's newest action game is marred by a boring story, an ea...

Review: Tomb Raider: Anniversary

After a decade of depressing sequels and lame movies, it's finally good to be a Tomb Raider fan again. Although it is nowhere near as exciting as Tomb Raider: Legends, Anniversary is still a solid ad...

Review: Rock Band

Rock Band is as incredible as it sounds. It's a big box full of great music, cool instruments and more fun than you can imagine. While not as solid as a single-player game, the game's multi-player e...

Review: Namco Museum Remix

Namco Museum Remix is easily one of the most perplexing games of the year. It tries to draw you in with the promise of new versions of classic games, but these "remixes" tend to be complete wastes of...

Review: WordJong

WordJong is a modest game, a simple puzzle game that does only one thing ... but does it very well. There's a lot to love in Destineer's newest portable puzzle game, including a fantastic multiplayer...
