My first experience with the Tony Hawk video game franchise led me to believe that skateboarding was easy. I ended up bruising my backside several times just by trying an ollie. In a decision probably for the better, I stuck with video games. Considering how many of these skateboarding games exist, there’s no time to [...]

It didn’t take The Sims Hot Date/Vacation/Makin’ Magic/Bustin’ Out/Livin’ Large/Unleashed for me to realize that Maxis had tapped the well of originality. With all the busty expansion packs and “deluxe” versions of the original game available, I find it somewhat surprising that The Urbz: Sims in the City has even met a release date. After [...]

Are you obsessed with Hollywood and its supposed movie star lifestyle? Do you skateboard? Does the phrase “California Uber Alles” make you happy? How about “Deutschland Uber Alles”? If you answered yes to all of these questions, then you’re most certainly looking at the right game. However if you find liberal conspiracy music about California [...]

Nintendo’s 15 years of unsurpassed leadership in portable video gaming continued unabated through the 2005 holiday season.

When Metroid Prime was [...]

There are only two puzzle games that have remained just as fun now as they were when first released: Tetris and Bust A Move. You may argue that Lumines and Meteos will soon meet those requirements, but nobody can deny that Tetris and Bust A Move have enjoyed long-lasting success with hundreds of iterations and [...]

Animal Crossing: Wild World is Nintendo’s follow up to one of the quirkiest and original games released on the Nintendo GameCube. If you’ve played the original Animal Crossing, you know it’s not a game for everyone. While many enjoyed the game’s simple, open-ended, unguided gameplay, others saw it as slow, boring and unfocused.

Just when many supporters of the hardware and software developer that is Nintendo didn’t think it would ever happen, November 14 proved us all wrong. Mario Kart has been a well-renowned franchise since the SNES era. Whether it’s just having that kooky Mario atmosphere or the intense racing battles against the AI or your friends [...]
