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 [...]

The Haunted Mansion

The reviews of IGN and Gamespot come across as a little questionable to me. A great puzzler like Egg Mania gets a lousy 5 while the biggest piece of garbage I’ve ever played on a current console merits a 7 (that’s this game, by the way). I would never feel good about placing the Haunted [...]

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, [...]

Cel Damage

Back in the days of the Nintendo 64, some of my favorite games revolved around car combat: Vigilante 8 and San Francisco Rush 2049. Now that the 64 has been replaced with the GameCube, this once beloved genre has almost disappeared. Mario Kart and Smuggler’s Run have a taste of car combat to them, but [...]

Alien Hominid

In the midst of a rush of sequels, when the holiday spotlight was focused entirely on Halo 2, Half-Life 2, Metroid Prime 2, and Grand Theft Auto 5, the self-funded and independently developed Alien Hominid was unfortunately overlooked by anyone who doesn’t frequently peruse Newgrounds or IGN. To miss this gem, however, is a shame [...]

Capcom today released killer 7, a stylized, post-modern action adventure game for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system and Nintendo GameCube. Featuring distinct characters, striking cel-shaded visuals and dark imagery, killer 7 chronicles the connection between two men whose intertwined paths develop into a complex tale of altering personas and a menacing force that has [...]

Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat

Donkey Kong is back, so dust of those conga drums. Donkey Kong’s Jungle Beat is a 2-d plat-former, that well, uses the bongo drums to control Donkey Kong through his latest adventure. If your hesitant, don’t worry, the drums give new life and a fresh feel to an old genre. The game may sound like [...]
