NHL ‘06

Hockey videogames have been in existence ever since the console industry was born. There were the original Ice Hockey and Blades of Steel on the NES. There were the infamous NHL ‘94 and ‘96 on the SNES. There was Wayne Gretzky’s 3D Hockey on the Nintendo 64, and now we have this generation! EA’s NHL [...]

Killer 7

Killer 7 is just one of those that will confuse just about everybody. In all reality, the only people that can ever truly understand the story that drives this game are the developers themselves! In a possible political and terrorist conspiracy between the United States and Japan, Harman Smith is charged with the [...]

X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse

The X-Men are back, who could have guessed? X-Men Legends: Rise of the Apocalypse is the sequel to Raven’s first critically acclaimed X-Men Legends title, released last year. It seems the popular X-Men movies have breathed new life into the X-Men franchise. After years of mediocre titles the X-Men were finally given [...]

X-Men Legends

The X-Men is an awesome group of superheroes, no one really denies that. Unfortunately most of the games they’ve been featured in the past have been less then stellar. There have been the somewhat enjoyable 2D sidescrolling games and such, and the rather entertaining arcade machine. But when it comes to an [...]

Gun

For those of you out there that are fans of Neversoft’s work, be prepared for a little stray of the norm! For six straight years, they’ve done nothing but bring fans of Tony Hawk games that many have come to know and love. Whether it’s the hardcore aspects of the sport, the cool [...]

WarioWare, Inc.: Mega MicroGame$

Wario is like Nintendo’s alter-ego they express through game design in order to alleviate their corporate frustrations. Wario hasn’t gone adventuring for a while and has instead opted to stay at home and make crappy games as a scheme to score money. In retrospect, it may seem like Nintendo is doing the same with the [...]

WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$

Wario is a casual villain. He doesn’t try to take over the world, kill innocent people, or kidnap princesses. All Wario wants is money. This was evident in his first debut, Wario World, in wich our anti-hero set off to reclaim his treasure. His next GameCube outing, WarioWare: Mega Party Game$, is also a ploy [...]

Shrek 2

Movies and video games alike spawn multiple sequels. With movies, the attempt is usually a step back from the original’s quality and effect. Video games, on the other hand, have the advantage: sequels generally get better. While Shrek 2: The Movie wasn’t as creative and magical as the first, Shrek 2: The Game certainly tops [...]

MC Groovz Dance Craze

Ah, Mad Catz. Where would I get all my cheap Game Boy accessories without you? For the uninformed, Mad Catz excels in creating third-party accessories and peripherals for video game consoles. They seem to prefer Nintendo, too, which might explain why their very first video game is on a Nintendo system. MC Groovz Dance Craze [...]

Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles

There hasn’t been a Final Fantasy game on a Nintendo system since Final Fantasy VI on the SNES. It’s nice to see Square and Nintendo have become good friends again, but don’t think their collaboration will give you what Playstation owners have been dawdling over for the past few years. This is, more or less, [...]
