Fire Emblem: Souen no Kiseki

By Darkstar_Sinada | Review Date: Dec 04, 2005 | GC

Lengthy, enjoyable and challenging, as one would expect from a Fire Emblem title.

Fire Emblem games have long existed in Japan, but have just recently hit America by storm. With two GBA titles, the series now moves onto console. What should one expect? The two Fire Emblem's for GBA had sufficient... Read Full Review

Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II

By Darkstar_Sinada | Review Date: Nov 24, 2005 | GC

Tons of multi-player RPG fun!

Now, the gamecube is not made for online play. So it's probably a bit strange that Phantasy Star would come out for GC. Regardless, the game develops a wonderful, if slightly repetitive romp into futureristic explorati... Read Full Review

Kurenai no Umi 2

By Darkstar_Sinada | Review Date: Nov 22, 2005 | PS2

Lengthy, solid Action-RPG from KOEI.

Set far in the future, Crimson Sea 2 delivers a consistant performance through-out, complete with it's moments and downfalls. Graphically, Crimson Sea 2 is nothing special. The characters look decent, move relatively... Read Full Review

Ninja Gaiden Black

By Darkstar_Sinada | Review Date: Nov 22, 2005 | XBOX

For those old-school gamers who want a real challenge.

I'll admit, our generations games aren't always that challenging. Many are created for those casual gamers who just want to spend a couple hours each week playing Madden. Bleh. Ninja Gaiden is your parent's kind of ga... Read Full Review

Burnout 3: Takedown (Platinum Hits)

By Darkstar_Sinada | Review Date: Nov 22, 2005 | XBOX

No other racing game compares in my mind.

Let me start this off by saying: I own over 100 games, and probably 2-3 racing ones total. I'm not a racing game fan, I normally play RPG's and action adventures. But I played Burnout 3 one day at a friend's house, and... Read Full Review

Arx Fatalis

By Darkstar_Sinada | Review Date: Nov 22, 2005 | XBOX

Failed attempt at a Morrowind-like game.

Don't get me wrong, this is not a bad game. In fact, if Morrowind wasn't already out, I would recommend buying this game. But since it is out, I'm not going to recommend this purchase. I bought this game for $30, an... Read Full Review

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind - Game of the Year Edition

By Darkstar_Sinada | Review Date: Nov 22, 2005 | XBOX

Live in this world, trust me.

Where to start? I'm not going to write a huge review, as in there is so much to write about this game. Bottom line-It's $20, I don't care who you are, buy it. If you somehow don't like it, you wasted $20, oh well. ... Read Full Review

Meteos

By Darkstar_Sinada | Review Date: Nov 22, 2005 | DS

Approx. Tetris * 100!

Finally, a game for the DS that makes full use of the touch screen. Considering this game makes use of only the touch screen, it should make all of you out there wondering why the DS has one, happy. The game's general ... Read Full Review

Chikyuu Boueigun 3

By Darkstar_Sinada | Review Date: Aug 19, 2007 | X360

So cheesy and funny, it's actually good.

So basically, the world is going to be over-run with Bugs and Aliens in 2017, right? Just about as believable as me saying this game is lots of fun, if you just watched the gameplay videos. But if you grab a friend, an... Read Full Review

Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime

By Darkstar_Sinada | Review Date: Nov 20, 2006 | DS

A nice break from the norm

Slimes have always been the weak, little opponents at the beginning of every Dragon Quest game. They rarely have much of a role in the games, so Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime is a strange title in the Dragon Quest u... Read Full Review

Call of Duty 2

By Darkstar_Sinada | Review Date: Feb 18, 2006 | X360

The most epic single player campaign you will ever experience.

With the multiple first person shooters already out for the Xbox 360, it can be hard for one to choose which he wants to purchase. In my humble opinion, look no further than Call of Duty 2. Set in the destruction of ... Read Full Review

Shadow of Rome

Somehow, this game was over-looked by many. Don't make that mistake!

Shadow of Rome is one of the best Roman experiences you can find. With tons of gore, action and some old-fashion conspiracy, you'll find it all in this title. It truly amazes me how under the radar this game was, consi... Read Full Review
