If you can put up with the lack of online play, this game is worth picking up from your local bargain bin.

This review was written in 2003 when the original NFSU was released. It was very prescient with the request for a garage feature (added in NFSU2) Overview: If you’ve just finished watching “The Fast and the Furious”... Read Full Review

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

A blast from the past with a modern flair.

Recently, there has been a heavy flux of updates to classic games. Some, like Spy Hunter for example, get an “A” for effort but don’t quite make the final cut. Others are blatant abuse of the nostalgia bug that’s going a... Read Full Review

Fight Night Round 2

If Knockout Kings is the Burnout of boxing games, Fight Night is the Grand Turismo of boxing

Thumb blisters for the most part are a thing of the past with the ergonomically designed controllers of the current generation of consoles. I can't even remember having thumb blisters after I stopped playing the original... Read Full Review

Aliens Versus Predator

Go from hunter to hunted and all the way back with one game.

I never knew a game could have schizophrenia. One moment I'm playing a survival horror game. The next I'm playing a stealth game. Then I turn around and I'm playing an all out action game all without changing discs in my... Read Full Review

The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay

Like the people who play it, Chronicles of Riddick refuses to be put in a box.

"First Person Shooters are all about action and little content." "Movie license games suck." "Developers either focus on graphics or gameplay, rarely both." Take all of these stereotypes and throw them out the wind... Read Full Review

Van Helsing

Pretty exterior with no substance.

Devil May Cry can be seen as a blessing and a curse to the modern action game afficionado. The original game itself was spectacular. And that's wonderful. It's success spawned a number of pretenders to the throne. I'm su... Read Full Review
