    If the word "history" holds any meaning to you, go buy this game.

    Europa Universalis III

    By Irvine78 | Review Date: Mar 29, 2007 | PC

    If the word "history" holds any meaning to you, go buy this game.

    You will literally lose days of your life playing this game. The world itself, not a loose Hollywood version like Medieval II, is here for you to immerse yourself deep within it. And graphics, schmaphics. The game isn't ... Read Full Review

    Buy this game in preparation for AP World History. Try to find another game with that sort of endorsement.

    Medieval: Total War

    By Irvine78 | Review Date: Jun 24, 2006 | PC

    Buy this game in preparation for AP World History. Try to find another game with that sort of endorsement.

    I was unaware of this game's existance for a year. I had played my friend's copy of Shogun: Warlord Edition until I almost wore out my mouse, and then I moved from Texas to Hawaii and started high school. Then for my 15t... Read Full Review

    This game was one of the best I had ever played on PC. That is, until it stopped working altogether.

    Battlefield 2

    By Irvine78 | Review Date: Dec 24, 2005 | PC

    This game was one of the best I had ever played on PC. That is, until it stopped working altogether.

    This is a great game, don't get me wrong. While it was working I got within a few rounds of making Lance Corporal. I was a pretty good sniper, if I may say so myself. I also got pretty well adjusted to playing as a suppo... Read Full Review

    This game is the perfect pairing with the DS. It is great for short bursts and marathons, alone or online.

    Mario Kart DS (DS Bundle)

    By Irvine78 | Review Date: Dec 26, 2007 | DS

    This game is the perfect pairing with the DS. It is great for short bursts and marathons, alone or online.

    Racing touches something in the inner core of almost everybody. It's such a simple competition that even the most primative of our ancestors probably would grasp the fundamentals of Mario Kart...just get to the end befor... Read Full Review

    Bring plenty of band-aids.

    Rome: Total War Barbarian Invasion

    By Irvine78 | Review Date: Nov 12, 2005 | PC

    Bring plenty of band-aids.

    I remember living in West Texas and getting my hands on a copy of Shogun: Total War for the first time. I bet I spent most of my free time in middle school playing that game and its Mongolian Invasion expansion. True cla... Read Full Review

    Over four years later I still have extremely fond memories.

    Mario Story

    By Irvine78 | Review Date: Nov 11, 2005 | N64

    Over four years later I still have extremely fond memories.

    Four years ago I had never played through an RPG in my life. I had a copy of Phantasy Star II floating about somewhere in my house but I think it bored me to no end when I was younger (I wish I could find it again). Then... Read Full Review

    Eat your heart out, Tycoon fan. Tropico's got the cure for what ails you.

    Tropico: Paradise Island

    By Irvine78 | Review Date: Mar 05, 2006 | PC

    Eat your heart out, Tycoon fan. Tropico's got the cure for what ails you.

    Tropico, my Tropico. That you were not purchased by every aspiring world dictator is a crime. This game is hard to describe in that it combines so many different elements in a fairly seemless product, and does it with a ... Read Full Review

    Perhaps I'm missing something. Just kidding. The rest of you are missing something. I never miss anything. Ever.

    Final Fantasy X (Mega Hits!)

    By Irvine78 | Review Date: Mar 01, 2006 | PS2

    Perhaps I'm missing something. Just kidding. The rest of you are missing something. I never miss anything. Ever.

    I had only been exposed to Final Fantasy VI (via emulation software) by some friends for about a month before I bought this game, so my perception of Final Fantasy and role-playing games in general was not so broad. But ... Read Full Review

    By its own merits, FFVI gets this game to a 9.9. Deduct roughly one point for V, and 0.4 for the obnoxious load times.

    Final Fantasy Anthology

    By Irvine78 | Review Date: Sep 28, 2005 | PS

    By its own merits, FFVI gets this game to a 9.9. Deduct roughly one point for V, and 0.4 for the obnoxious load times.

    Squaresoft, by far the most renown maker of RPG's in the world, made a killing during the PlayStation era. Final Fantasy VII is regarded by (too) many as the single greatest thing to happen to anything in the history of ... Read Full Review
