Spider-Man 2: Enter: Electro

While not a disaster, Enter: Electro is a big step down from its predecessor

Although 2000's Spider-Man is certainly not faultless, it's an irresistibly fun game that is filled with memorable moments. For some reason or another, Enter: Electro is a lot less notable - while it's a small improvemen... Read Full Review

Spider-Man (Platinum)

Although Spider-Man is not entirely flawless, it's a fun game that ranks among the best superhero games from the PS1 era

While browsing through my old Playstation games earlier today, I decided to take out Spider-Man and give it my first playthrough in a very long time. This was one of my favorite games when I was 9 or 10 years old, and I ... Read Full Review

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

A masterpiece of epic proportions - one of the best experiences in gaming history.

L.A. Noire

L.A. Noire is a unique experience that should be played by all fans of crime games

As a general rule, I like it when developers take risks when making new games. While some level of familiarity is never a bad thing, there is a bit too much stagnation in the modern gaming industry - and, like always, we... Read Full Review

Medal of Honor Heroes

If the campaign was longer than roughly 90 minutes, MOH: Heroes could've lived up to some serious potential.

Medal of Honor: Heroes was EA's first attempt at bringing the famed World War II series to Sony's PSP, and while it is plagued by some serious issues, fans of the series will definitely want to check it out. Those famili... Read Full Review

A worthy sequel to one of the best action RPG's of all time

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

Surprisingly enough, this licensed GBA game is an incredibly lazy and boring cash-in title

At its core, the most important part about a video game is that it is fun - if it isn't fun or enjoyable in any way, then it simply isn't worth playing. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl for the Game... Read Full Review

Van Helsing

While not quite the atrocity some make it out to be, Van Helsing for the GBA is still an unremarkable effort

As a general rule of thumb, I try to avoid bad games like the plague - throughout the forty year history of gaming, far too many excellent games have been released to waste any time on titles universally regarded as rubb... Read Full Review

The Sims Bustin' Out

The Sims makes a smooth transition onto the GBA in this unique open-ended adventure

While the GBA version of The Sims Bustin' Out only vaguely resembles the PC original, or even the series' home console releases, this 2003 port from Griptonite and EA games is a surprisingly great playthrough on the go. ... Read Full Review

TimeShift

TimeShift is a completely average, though still competent, first-person shooter.

The current generation of consoles has seen a remarkable amount of first-person shooters, and while quite a few of them are excellent, most of them feel rather average and uneventful. TimeShift is one of the games that u... Read Full Review

California Speed

California Speed is a flawed arcade racer that still manages to be quite a bit of fun

Although Sega's consoles may always be most fondly remembered for their arcade-style driving games, the Nintendo 64 also saw quite a few fun arcade racers throughout its lifespan. Midway's California Speed from 1999, whi... Read Full Review

Fallout 3

Fallout 3 is one of modern role-playing games' defining masterpieces

Viking: Battle for Asgard

This isn't an excellent game by any stretch, but it's a decent bargain bin purchase for all hack-and-slash fans

Viking: Battle for Asgard may not have been the most well-received game in the world, but since I'm admittedly a cheap bastard, I couldn't pass up this game for a mere five dollars at my local game store. I spent a fair ... Read Full Review

Resident Evil 5

Resident Evil 5 is a disappointment compared to RE4, but it's still a worthy playthrough for any fan of the series

Duke Nukem Forever

One of the most criminally underrated games I've ever played... Hail to the King, Baby!

When Duke Nukem Forever finally released after fifteen years of development hell in mid-2011, the gaming community wasn't all that impressed with the king's long awaited return. Though the game (as expected) sold pretty ... Read Full Review

Wolfenstein 3D

Wolfenstein 3D is a revolutionary masterpiece that still manages to hold up well, even 20 years after its release

Few games can be credited for almost single-handedly inventing a genre like Wolfenstein 3D did. Although first-person perspectives and shooting-based games existed prior to 1992, Wolfenstein 3D was the first game to mix ... Read Full Review

Risk: Global Domination

Risk: Global Domination is a decent video game rendition of the classic board game

DOOM 3

Doom 3 brings the Doom series into the 21st century with tremendous success.

Prior to playing Doom 3, I was a bit skeptical because the game looked so different compared to any previous entries in the series. The graphics were sleek and modern, the story was an integral part of the game, and the ... Read Full Review

Forza Motorsport

Forza Motorsport is one of the best driving games available on the Xbox!

Forza Motorsport was Microsoft's response to Sony's wildly successful Gran Turismo series, and although the Forza franchise has since expanded quite a bit, this debut entry was one of the most notable racing titles on th... Read Full Review

BioHazard: The Darkside Chronicles

An above average on-rails shooter marred by a below average camera

After the Resident Evil series was brought into an on-rails shooter setting with 2007's The Umbrella Chronicles, Capcom decided to further explore this genre with 2009's The Darkside Chronicles. Whereas the first game fo... Read Full Review

True Crime: New York City

If you can get past the glitches... this game is awesome!

Sonic Advance

Sonic Advance is a solid throwback to old school, 16-bit platforming!

BioHazard 4

Quite simply one of the best video games you'll ever play

Though I'll admit that I'm a pretty avid gaming enthusiast, it's rare that I'll come across a game as artistically stunning and emotionally striking as the legendary Resident Evil 4. This bone-chilling horror masterpiece... Read Full Review

Hoshi no Kirby

A short, easy, and infectiously enjoyable platformer

It seems to me that, generally speaking, 2-D platforming is not my genre of choice when talking about video games. I do enjoy Super Mario and Castlevania from time to time, but I often find games in the genre to just be ... Read Full Review

Duke Nukem Advance

It's time to kick some ass and chew bubblegum... and I'm all out of bubblegum!

Duke Nukem is one of the most awesome characters in video game history - his incredible ability to always overcome the odds, constantly defeating alien scum while saving all of the attractive females in the world makes h... Read Full Review

Gun.Smoke (Re-release)

A brutally unforgiving, yet enjoyable, old school shooting game

Capcom was a word that could immediately be associated with the word 'brutal' back in the late eighties'. This company created some of the most brutally unforgiving video games back in the day, and 1988's Gun.Smoke is no... Read Full Review

Sonic the Hedgehog

This classic 16-bit platformer is not flawless, but it's still an essential playthrough for all fans of the genre

DOOM II

An amazing sequel to one of gaming's finest achievements - another timeless masterpiece from id Software

Road Rash

Another solid racing game for the Sega Genesis

Akumajou Dracula

Castlevania is an essential landmark from the 8-bit era of gaming

The Nintendo Entertainment System was not known for having a particularly 'easy' library of games, but Castlevania still stands today as one of the most challenging titles for the legendary system. This is a brutal, brut... Read Full Review

Rock 'N Roll Racing

A decent racing game if you can find it for a good price

After looking at quite a few reviews for Rock 'N Roll Racing on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, I'm afraid my rather lukewarm opinion will put me in a pretty small minority among other retro gamers. This 1993 dr... Read Full Review
