Fury 3

By MysticDynamite | Review Date: Feb 19, 2007 | PC

Despite some ugly graphics, it's an absolute blast to play through over and over again.

Fury3 is the kind of flight shooter you want to play over and over again. Blasting through countless enemies on different worlds has never felt so exhilarating and fun, and despite some ugly graphics, you will simply wa... Read Full Review

Everest

By MysticDynamite | Review Date: Feb 17, 2007 | PC

Climb seven mountains. That's it.

Climb seven mountains. That's it. Right when I started playing, the screen was tilted at a 90' angle. This meant I had to go back to my desktop and fix the screen. Then I started playing the game. Everest is a v... Read Full Review

Loom

By MysticDynamite | Review Date: Dec 24, 2007 | PC

Loom is a simple, satisfying game with an intriguing story, but it doesn't have enough length to keep you hooked.

In 1990, LucasArts released Loom, a simple, short adventure game. I first played this in 1996 when I was 4 years old. Back them I could only get up to a certain point before I quit. I come back to this game 11 years l... Read Full Review

Yaris

By MysticDynamite | Review Date: Nov 23, 2007 | X360

Yaris starts out as a waste of time, then slowly becomes a more painful waste of time as the clock ticks on.

Yaris is a simple advergame for Toyota's Yaris that's available for free on Xbox Live. I downloaded it for free achievement points and nothing more. What you get here is a bland racer/shooter that won't burn your money... Read Full Review

Yu-Gi-Oh! Destiny Board Traveler

By MysticDynamite | Review Date: Dec 31, 2006 | GBA

"With some solid strategy and a little luck,..." sounds much better reversed.

Please note that this review requires knowledge about the actual game. What do I have to say about this game that is good? The linking maps feature was a good idea, but it was just so poorly executed. For one thin... Read Full Review

Half-Life 2

By MysticDynamite | Review Date: Nov 01, 2008 | PC

Half-Life 2 is not the greatest game ever made. It is, however, worth playing if you're a fan of the FPS.

Half-Life 2 is considered by many people to be the greatest PC game - read "PC game", not "PC FPS" - ever released. After giving it two play-throughs I can easily say it is certainly not the product it's being hyped up ... Read Full Review

DOOM

By MysticDynamite | Review Date: Sep 21, 2008 | PC

Not only is DOOM the grandaddy of the FPS, it is also one of the best, most intense games in the genre it pioneered.

Though Wolfenstein 3D was technically the first first-person shooter to come to markets, there is no question that Doom was the game that made the FPS genre what it is today. But even today, in the land of intense 3D gr... Read Full Review

Guitar Hero II (Game only)

By MysticDynamite | Review Date: Jul 28, 2007 | X360

Guitar Hero II is an amazing experience that sucks you in and refuses to let go.

Harmonix's Guitar Hero originated on the PS2 back in 2005/2006 and quickly gained attention, critical praise, and mention as one of the best games ever. Just one year later, Harmonix followed up with a sequel, Guitar He... Read Full Review

Descent II

By MysticDynamite | Review Date: Jun 28, 2007 | PC

When compared to its predecessor, Descent 2 has more improvements than shortcomings.

When Descent came out for the PC in 1995, it wasn't bought off the shelves instantly, but it was well-received by critics and created a small but strong fanbase. Just one year later, Interplay followed up its 6 Degrees ... Read Full Review

Descent (1995)

By MysticDynamite | Review Date: Jun 22, 2007 | PC

Descent is a topnotch FPS which should not be missed.

Back in 1995, Descent was the game that spawned the genre of Six Degrees of Freedom games, games that enabled the user to fly on all three axis rather than planting the user on the ground, forcing the user to utilize two... Read Full Review

Dancing Stage Universe

By MysticDynamite | Review Date: May 27, 2007 | X360

The DDR series may be old, but DDR Universe is still just as fun and challenging as the previous games.

Dance Dance Revolution, as old as it is, is not only an arcade classic, it's almost an integration into popular culture. And it's easy to see why; DDR was the first exertainment game to come out and hit mainstream arcad... Read Full Review

Sonic Heroes

By MysticDynamite | Review Date: May 06, 2007 | GC

Heroes has interesting gameplay mechanics and offers some thrilling moments, but level design is rather poor.

Sonic Heroes came out a long time ago (2004) and was the first Sonic game to be released on all three sixth generation systems. Which says a lot. In Sonic Heroes, you play as one of four different teams with three ch... Read Full Review

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock

By MysticDynamite | Review Date: Mar 30, 2008 | X360

Guitar Hero III has its quirks, but also its perks. In the end, it's as addictive as previous Guitar Hero entries.

When I started playing Guitar Hero II, I almost fell in love with it. It was very difficult to get all the achievements (I still have six songs left to 5* on Expert), and was very satisfying in the end. When I heard ab... Read Full Review
