    Sonic Adventure is a blast from start to finish.

    Sonic the Hedgehog has been one of those flagship game characters that everyone who knows anything about games has come to appreciate in some way or another. He's the "other" Mario. Never quite gathering the success or... Read Full Review

    God of War (Greatest Hits)

    God of War is, simply put, one of the most extraordinary games to come out for the PS2.

    Originality comes in spades these days. It’s rare that a game comes out and actually boasts something that sets it apart from a gaggle of ugly ducklings as the beautiful swan. Well, that was something some of us were s... Read Full Review

    Kingdom Hearts had the making of a cross-over classic. It had it all. Two of the largest companies on the planet teaming up on one action-adventure epic. SquareSoft and Disney are heralded by their fans as the top of ... Read Full Review

    Ys: Napishtim no Hako

    Ys VI is a decent game, it's just not for everybody.

    The Ys series has been around now for almost eighteen years. It has been a mainstay overseas in the land of the rising sun, and hasn’t seen a domestic release in the states in nearly a decade, that is, until now. Ys: T... Read Full Review

    Xenosaga Episode II may not be the most remarkable game around, but it's charming story will win you over.

    Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht came out roughly two years ago now, and while it was met with both high critical praise and a good target market that ate it up, it put off a lot of gamers in a number of ways. Ja... Read Full Review

    Though it isn't without flaws, it's still the best game from 2003.

    Undying is one of the most memorable and enjoyable games ever made.

    Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas nails its setting and style so perfectly that it might just be the best action game ever.

    In 1996, a small-time video game developer called Rockstar Games released a top-down, two-dimensional crime-spree action-adventure game called Grand Theft Auto. The game was met with little fanfare, but it stirred up Mo... Read Full Review

    This is the defining game for the GameCube. Everything here on out will be compared to it.

    On every level, this game is superb.

    I'm a self proclaimed super-fan of the run-and-gun stylized first-person-shooters of the olden days, that's why I like Halo, and that's why I like Unreal. Half-Life, though it was a evolutionary game for the genre, was ... Read Full Review

    Metroid Prime superbly blends the adventure and action genres, although it can get a little monotonous at times.

    Fable is an amazing game in just about every aspect.

    Tekken 3 was the first big step towards perfection in the genre.
