Icewind Dale II

Most video games just get boring after awhile. I really don’t have a high tolerance when it comes to my attention span for them; usually I just want to sit back and blow stuff up or shoot things or hack them to bits for awhile without having to worry about dumb crap like “extra lives” [...]

Medal of Honor: Rising Sun

Sweet ba-goodness, I love Medal of Honor games. It’s now been over two years since I wrote the review of MOH: Frontline with a promise for an upcoming review of MOH: Rising Sun. Well, unfortunately my Frontline disc was lost or stolen, which I’m still bitter about, so I need to go re-buy that game [...]

Viewtiful Joe

One of Capcom’s newest games, Viewtiful Joe appears at first glance to be yet another average, side-scrolling, beat-em-up game, but it is much more than that. First of all, the screen turns as Joe moves throughout the levels, giving it a real, 3-D feel. The graphics are cel-shaded beautifully, with numerous background layers, and they [...]

Medal of Honor: Frontline

Everything about this game is quality; I originally [...]

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

The reason I got Playstation 2 was because of this game. The scene: 1980’s Miami (the City of Vice, hence the name). You’re Tommy Vercetti, a remorseless ex-con who’s just taken a trip down south. You’ve fallen on hard times when a drug deal gone wrong puts you in debt - a million dollars’ worth. [...]

Final Fantasy X

Can you believe it’s been so long since the very first FF title, back in the heyday of the Nintendo gaming system? Final Fantasy X really breaks the mold all over again with stunning graphics, intuitive gameplay and an incredibly detailed storyline. The downfall of this game, if anything, is the extremely lengthy video clips. [...]

Battle Engine: Aquila

Wow… if the future is like this, it’s going to kick some major buns. The Battle Engine: Aquila is an all-purpose war robot that can convert itself from a land-walking, death-dealing machine to a jet-propelled aircraft.
The premise is that water has swallowed most of the planet Allium’s land masses, and two warring tribes are in [...]
