    I didn't think it would be all that great. Boy, was I wrong!

    Wario Ware, Inc: Minigame Mania

    I didn't think it would be all that great. Boy, was I wrong!

    When I received this game on my birthday, I was skeptical. When it said microgames, I imagined it just to be something like one of the Namco remixes, with little minigames to play at my leisure. I was wrong. When they sa... Read Full Review

    Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

    A great challenge, which seems to have no end. (In a good way.)

    Admittedly, I first got this game not actually knowing what it was like. As such, it didn't appeal to me a great deal at first, but it really grew on me quite quickly. Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced is a different gam... Read Full Review

    It's like an epic version of the Sims with no annoying micromanaging!

    I found this game at a garage sale for $5. I read the back of it and immediately had to have it. Now that I look back, I can't believe that I got it for a mere $5! This game left a mark in my heart worth millions of doll... Read Full Review

    Final Fantasy XII

    It was an alright game, but there were some fatal flaws that kept it from being great.

    With such potential, certain aspects of this game lived up to the hype, but many didn't make the cut. I believe that Square knew where it was going with the game development, but there were a few turns it took in creatin... Read Full Review

    It was that game that no one knew what it was, but bought it (and loved it) anyway. I concur!

    Patapon is a truly amazing game. I've never played anything quite like it before, and I greatly anticipate my chance to play the sequel. But for now, let's focus on the present. You play the role of a god commanding a... Read Full Review

    Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories

    Admittedly, it's sort of a lazy version of Kingdom Hearts, but it adds a goods challenge and a gripping story line.

    Honestly, the only really good point of playing Kingdom Hearts: CoM is to experience the storyline that bridges the other two games. That being said, it is one great storyline. It IS Kingdom Hearts. If you've played t... Read Full Review

    Final Fantasy IV

    Although I'm not a HUGE fan of the 3D-ness, it still came out to be one great remake.

    Final Fantasy IV is one of the better installments out of its series, in my opinion. I'm usually a bit skeptical whenever an 8-bit game is remade in 3D, but Square managed to pull it off very well. My only quirk with it ... Read Full Review

    While I admit, remix games consisting of classic Namco arcade games are something to interest the mind, the newest Wii installment doesn't have much new content to offer. Basically, as in every other remix, there's a ... Read Full Review

    This is one of those games that you see and immediately just HAVE to buy, and after doing so, you regret that action.

    You'll never look at Alice in Wonderland the same way again.

    American McGee's Alice is a very, VERY dark version of Lewis Caroll's story. Or, one could argue that the original story was just as dark, but the game makes it much more obvious. You decide. The game starts showing h... Read Full Review
