Lara Croft may be an archaeologist, but her day-to-day life rarely includes brushing fossils and analyzing data on a computer. This is a video game, after all. Lara Croft tends to explore exotic and dangerous locations that require plenty of tricky jumping, ledge grabbing, vine swinging, and trap dodging. Think of her as a Mario [...]

Baten Kaitos Origins may have come out after Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Yadda Yadda Yadda, but it actually acts as a prequel. Hence the Origins, you see. While people from the first game will make cameos as their younger selves, the story mainly focuses on three new individuals: Sagi, Milliarde, and Guillo. That’s [...]

Amazing Island is an interesting, little gem that probably didn’t sell well, because the goofy box art, cheesy name, and vague commercials don’t explain what’s really going on inside. When you are told you can make your own monsters, you literally make your own monsters. The game’s main draw is its “patented” monster-maker, a unique [...]

One of the Wii’s greatest features is its direct GameCube backwards compatibility. This offers a great opportunity to play some of last generation’s missed gems during those inevitable Wii droughts (like right now). Here are some of the editors’ favorites: Clark says: This one’s going to sound kind of strange, but one of my favorite [...]

Sports can be difficult for some of us to get into, not because we’re nerds with no coordination, but because we don’t respond well to situations with so many scrupulous rules. Playing soccer during recess wasn’t so much about playing soccer as it was about kicking your classmates in the shins. That’s why unreal soccer [...]

At first sight, Spongebob Squarepants is a cartoon easily dismissed. It’s loud and full of childish tomfoolery, and kids love it, so it can’t be that great… right? But for those who have gotten past Spongebob’s high-pitched giggles, you’ve no doubt found the kind of random–and sometimes twisted–humor more notably known by The Simpsons and [...]

With the GameCube, Nintendo played it safe. Just look at how many Mario spin-offs there were. Nintendo really sold its heavy-hitting franchises and put little effort into crafting entirely new IPs. True, we saw some original content, like Battalion Wars and Chibi-Robo, but nothing that revolutionized the industry in the same way as Halo on [...]

Final Fantasy. You’re either sick of this franchise or can’t get enough of it. There isn’t much room for middle grounds, here. Unless, of course, you are a Nintendo fan, because we all know Square Enix and Nintendo haven’t been the best at sharing. Sure, the GameCube saw Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, but that was [...]

Nintendo of Japan’s website have released a series of short clips from the upcoming Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess. While these clips don’t reveal anything ground-breaking, there are glimpses of never-before-seen elements, such as a Wild West-style townstead, the inventory of one of the shops and a strange goose thing that Link seems to have [...]

Knowing–or having–children that “game” makes you–as a gamer–more aware of just how bad some of these kiddie games are. I watch in dismay as my nephews time and time again are tricked into thinking their favorite movie licenses also make for good video games. They don’t! And that’s why LEGO Star Wars was such a [...]
