Indigo Prophecy

By JAB991 | Review Date: Feb 20, 2010 | XBOX

An "interactive movie" that nails the movie parts and mostly gets the game parts right too

Note: I played this game on an Xbox 360 using an original, Xbox copy of the game. From my research, however, there are no glitches or anything else to note when the game is played on a 360. Indigo Prophecy is a little... Read Full Review

Tomena Sanner

By JAB991 | Review Date: Feb 09, 2010 | WII

Tomena Sanner should be a free game played on web browsers. Not at all worth the $5.

Tomena Sanner is a strange little WiiWare title from Konami. In it, you play as some guy in a suit who's running across the level. There are a bunch of obstacles in his way, including people, animals, robots, and other r... Read Full Review

Mass Effect 2

By JAB991 | Review Date: Feb 09, 2010 | X360

BioWare has taken a great game and improved on it with excellent results.

When the first Mass Effect title came out, it was a widely praised game, but none could deny its flaws. The sense of connections with the NPC's never felt true, even if the story put a lot of emphasis on them, and there ... Read Full Review

Muscle Koushinkyoku

By JAB991 | Review Date: Feb 09, 2010 | WII

Broken, unresponsive controls ruin a potentially fun game

If ever a game has truly let me down, it would without question be Muscle March. Conceptually, Muscle March has a lot going for it; it's super-stylized, unique and cheap. However, the game also serves as a great lesson t... Read Full Review

Electroplankton

By JAB991 | Review Date: Aug 03, 2008 | DS

An extremely unique title that can be loads of fun to anyone who putstime in it or a fun little fad for everyone else

Electroplankton is a seriously, seriously unique title. To call it a game would be wrong since there's no concept of goals or challenge involved. To call it an instrument wouldn't be right either because little to no tal... Read Full Review

Archime DS

By JAB991 | Review Date: Jul 21, 2008 | DS

LOL can be a blast under the right conditions, but those conditions are just too hard to come by without any online play

Someone at Agetec Inc. is truly an idiot. Even more disturbing than this person's stupidity is the fact that none of his coworkers noticed how absurd this man's plans were. LOL is a multiplayer-only game for the Nintendo... Read Full Review

Bayonetta (United Kingdom)

By JAB991 | Review Date: Jan 10, 2010 | X360

Bayonetta breaks into the boy's club of action games with excellent results.

To grasp the brilliance of Bayonetta, you need to know the absolute ridiculousness of the game and then understand that all showy effects and ludicrousness is in the back seat to the magnificent gameplay. Bayonetta, t... Read Full Review

Gyrostarr

By JAB991 | Review Date: Jul 03, 2008 | WII

An incredibly addictive sci-fi shooter and an absolute steal for $7

The good folks at High Voltage Software really are ambitious. Though most people know them as the crew making the super-hyped The Conduit, another title of interest has come from the company: Gyrostarr. Conceptually, ... Read Full Review

Yukinko Daisenpuu: Sayuki to Koyuki no Hie Hie Daisoudou

By JAB991 | Review Date: Jul 02, 2008 | WII

A sometimes fun game that serves as a decent through-back for fans of retro-gaming

The first thing that grabs your attention about Heavenly Guardian is its graphics; they make the game look 15-years old. The game would be very pretty if it were released on the SNES. The game is a spiritual successor to... Read Full Review

Link's Crossbow Training

By JAB991 | Review Date: Jul 02, 2008 | WII

A fun, but short light-gun game whose biggest justification for a purchase is its price

Link's Crossbow Training is simply a light-gun game that borrows music, settings, enemies, graphics, and everything else, from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. As a huge fan of light-gun games, and Twilight Prince... Read Full Review

Guitar Hero: On Tour

By JAB991 | Review Date: Jun 26, 2008 | DS

In bursts, On Tour can be fun, but its disappointing track list and the general discomfort it causes hold the game back

Guitar Hero: On Tour marks the franchise's first attempt at making a game on a handheld system. Conceptually, the game should work brilliantly. Using the GBA-slot of the DS, one simply attaches an add on that has four fr... Read Full Review

I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES!!!1

By JAB991 | Review Date: Dec 07, 2009 | X360

A $1 game that deserves to be a 2009 Game of the Year nominee: addictive, funny, cheap, and definitely not to be missed

I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MBIES!!!1 is a very standard game for its genre. It's a simple dual-stick shooter. The left analog stick controls the characters movement and the right stick controls shooting. Nothing about I MAED A... Read Full Review

Wii Fit

By JAB991 | Review Date: Jun 17, 2008 | WII

Wii Fit can be cool with determination, but for most people, it's an okay mini-game compilation once the novelty's gone

Wii Fit is something of a mystery to me. I don't know whether to review it as a piece of hardware, as a game, or as an excersize mechanism. I'm not in shape, I'm not obese, so when I got Wii Fit, I was really excited. I ... Read Full Review

Tales of Symphonia

By JAB991 | Review Date: Jun 14, 2008 | GC

An incredible game that turned me, someone who normally dislikes RPGs, into a true RPG believer

I've got a confession to make: by no means am I an RPG fan. Before my time with Symphonia, my only enjoyment with RPGs came from Pokemon and Paper Mario, both of which I probably like because I grew up with them. Titles ... Read Full Review

WarioWare: Touched!

By JAB991 | Review Date: Apr 01, 2008 | DS

It might not be the best WarioWare game, but Touched! is still a blast and a welcome addition to the WarioWare franchise

The WarioWare franchise can best be identified by two things: juvenile potty humor and seizure-indusing micro-games. Fortunately, both of these are present in full force in WarioWare: Touched!. Fans of the franchise w... Read Full Review

Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure

By JAB991 | Review Date: Mar 30, 2008 | WII

Starts out strong, but once the wow-factor wears off Zack and Wiki becomes just a good game, but nothing too great.

There's a lot working in Zack and Wiki's favor. It uses the Wii Remote terrifically, is part of a dying genre and has undeniable charm. It gives a phenomenal first impression, and stays welcome a for a while. However, Za... Read Full Review
