Castlevania

By AquaMantor | Review Date: Jan 30, 2005 | PS2

As a fan of Castlevania, I have to say that Lament of Innoncence is a huge dissapointment.

Note: For my reviews, 5 is average. After Aria of Sorrow, the most ground-breaking entry in the series since Symphony of the Night, my faith in the Castlevania series had gone from 80% to 100%. It is interesting the... Read Full Review

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap

By AquaMantor | Review Date: Jan 25, 2005 | GBA

Despite being developed by Capcom, The Minish Cap is truer to the series than any handheld incarnation so far.

Let's not beat around the bush, Zelda works better in 3D. Because of this, handheld Hyrule has been very neglected over the years. And the few times it has been released, it never really managed to capture the essence of... Read Full Review

Amazing island is highly recommended to anyone who wants to make their own monster

Note: For my reviews, 5 is average This game will amaze you, whether you enjoy it or not. The Monster customization is almost impossibly good. Even if you and your friend try as hard as you can to make the exact sam... Read Full Review

Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls

By AquaMantor | Review Date: Jan 07, 2005 | GBA

These two games may be dated, and they may lack a punch, but they are solid and fit together real well.

You can accept that Square has been going down hill ever since they merged with Enix, or you can't. Either way, these games show the incredible power the company once had. The two games that started the RPG genre in vide... Read Full Review

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

By AquaMantor | Review Date: Jan 04, 2005 | N64

After spending 2 years playing this game, I can safely say that there is nothing that comes close. Best game ever.

I know that it has been long since this game was released for Nintendo 64. And almost as long since it has been given credit for the spectactular acheivements and Revolutions it made to action and adventure games. Screw ... Read Full Review

Super Mario 64 DS

By AquaMantor | Review Date: Dec 29, 2004 | DS

A port with new features and bad controls

Note: for my reviews, 5 is average The minigames give it some extra flair, but beyond that it really doesn't scream "BUY ME" Especially if you've already owned a Nintendo 64. I think that Nintendo has gone too far now... Read Full Review

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within

Bad atmosphere isn't enough to destroy perfect gameplay

Alien Hominid

By AquaMantor | Review Date: Dec 25, 2004 | GC

A good, old fashioned hidden treasure that takes an old genre and makes it new

Note: For my reviews, 5 is average Everything was working against Alien Hominid, a new, independent developer? Coming from a flash game? Worst of all, the development team was incredibly small, consisting of a handf... Read Full Review

Fable

By AquaMantor | Review Date: Dec 20, 2004 | XBOX

Fable is what you get when you put disappointment, total letdown, and a game developer with low standards into one game

Some say it just didn't live up to the hype, but that isn't true, Fable deserves a 9+ for the first 10 hours, but after that it is just plain mediocre, Fable is a simply good game, whose developers were too incompetent t... Read Full Review

Halo 2

Halo 2 is a great game, but it is a little shy of the super game many people were expecting.

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes

This game makes you feel like Samus Aran.

Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean

Not for everyone, Baten Kaitos is a complicated, innovative RPG best for an RPG gamer with an open mind.

Psychonauts

By AquaMantor | Review Date: Jan 10, 2006 | XBOX

Any fan of atmospheric platformers or adventure games would be insane to leave Psychonauts on the shelf

Psychonauts can't be described in a few words. The bizarre, sometimes hilarious, sometimes disturbing situations that you will find yourself in are probably some of the most diverse in any game ever. The basic plot begi... Read Full Review

Lost Planet: Extreme Condition

Lost Planet may not be the most fast-paced or intense shooter out there, but it's loads of fun

It was kind of surprising how late I ended up getting this game, especially since it was so anticipated for me in the first place. I guess that, as soon as it came out, I failed to see what made it so different from othe... Read Full Review
