    Yet Another Look

    Since I'm feeling rather unoriginal today, I'll break down this review into categories matching the scoring system as well give explanation for that score. Gameplay (7) - Lots of Monster Hunting: Now it goes without ... Read Full Review

    The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (Limited Edition)

    By Disdaine | Review Date: Apr 13, 2006 | GC

    A little late, but making my rounds...

    The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker caused quite a commotion long before its release. Fans of the series, who had unwillingly grew up over the years, were initially very put off by the cell-shaded screenshots that Ninten... Read Full Review

    An expansive game you only wish was real...

    The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

    By Disdaine | Review Date: Mar 27, 2006 | PC

    An expansive game you only wish was real...

    I'll keep this short in saying that this game is simply great. Its the zenith of what I hope becomes a new genre of free-form gameplay. If you haven't played or heard of Morrowind, then I would compare this game to a med... Read Full Review

    Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade

    By Disdaine | Review Date: Oct 31, 2006 | PC

    A great expansion that's just a little late.

    Casting my score aside, this is a great expansion for an already good game. The new single player "campaign" is great and the new races make excellent (albeit somewhat overpowered at retail). However... The ... Read Full Review

    Freelancer

    By Disdaine | Review Date: Feb 17, 2006 | PC

    Its a better game three years later...

    When Freelancer was released in 2003, having slid of an original 2001 release date, it had a lot going against it. The storyline was short and easy. The multiplayer, while revolutionary for its max concurrent players, wa... Read Full Review

    Shadow of the Colossus

    By Disdaine | Review Date: Jan 12, 2006 | PS2

    A backwards review from someone who played from start to finish...

    Shadow of the Colossus is an interesting game. Its not because of the massive boss battles, but in that it gives you a sense of awe traversing the terrain and how you must use your wits, not brawn, to save the day. It... Read Full Review

    Tales of Symphonia

    By Disdaine | Review Date: Jul 22, 2004 | GC

    The first I would like to admit is that this review is an initial impression of the game. Without taking the time to beat the game entirely (80+ hours of gameplay) any review here is incomplete. Enough said... I haven't ... Read Full Review

    Battlezone II: Combat Commander

    By Disdaine | Review Date: Apr 26, 2004 | PC

    Before you question why I gave this game a 9.2 amid a flurry of bad reviews, hear me out. When was the last time you played a strategy game? Nothing new, I means games such as Starcraft or Total Annihilation (personal fa... Read Full Review

    X2: The Threat (White Label)

    By Disdaine | Review Date: Dec 15, 2003 | PC

    Gameplay: The game is open-ended. If you enjoyed games such as Privateer, X: Beyond the Frontier (the original), or the quasi-new Freelancer, then this is a game that you should pick up. If you've played X:Beyond the Fr... Read Full Review

    Final Fantasy XI

    By Disdaine | Review Date: Nov 11, 2003 | PC

    Much like another review posted here, I'm going to point out a few "discrepencies" in some of the lower end reviews. 1) Some people complain of only getting about 12xp a kill, and they have to reach a 2000+ mark to ge... Read Full Review

    Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

    By Disdaine | Review Date: Oct 10, 2003 | GBA

    EVE Online

    By Disdaine | Review Date: May 09, 2003 | PC

    First and foremost, you will either like this game or you will hate this game. To make one things clear, Eve is not a combat focused game. While combat is an integral part of the game design, the most in-depth feature is... Read Full Review
