    STILL the best RPG yet.

    Final Fantasy X (Mega Hits!)

    STILL the best RPG yet.

    Uncliched. You're trying to kill a monster named "sin"...Just for it to come back in 10 years. However, because this monster causes so much sadness and pain...and death, the need to kill it is very up there. En... Read Full Review

    NO! WORST!

    Shining Force NEO

    NO! WORST!

    Who does this to man? Tricking someone with a 7.0 score? All you do is press square and hack through hundreds of enemies at a time. In Nintendo 64 graphics! What's more, the story is even more "Save the world" ... Read Full Review

    HYPE!!!

    Final Fantasy XII

    HYPE!!!

    This game had it all: Decent music, fine presentation, realistic voice acting, graphics are superb for both realtime and CG, and the plot was set up to be a great one. Sadly though, the game was not there in the st... Read Full Review

    Oh, so because a game is "hard" you give it a lower score? Oh, reviewers you fail me!

    Oh, so because a game is "hard" you give it a lower score? Oh, reviewers you fail me!

    Clearly any hardcore gamer would want a...hard game, but hey! One finally comes along and we get the whining "it's to hard!" spew? Simply pathetic! Just dub yourselves casuals and be gone with it! And now to the review: ... Read Full Review

    This is the stuff I grew up on!

    So with the poison known as casual games, we have here a seasoned gamer that demands innovation in order to get the AAA score from me. And voila! This gem was given to me at Christmas and would've never hit this house if... Read Full Review

    Closest one will get to the perfect gaming experience.

    The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

    Closest one will get to the perfect gaming experience.

    Nine years ago, this game came and rose expectations of the action genre to an untouchable standard that has still failed to be met even to this day! A 91 tracked soundtrack, this epic game makes you use your bra... Read Full Review

    Tekken 5

    Ah yes, my least favorite Tekken...

    Yes yes. Pretty graphics. Check. Plot. Same as ever. Music. Decent enough. The Techno isn't nearly as good as Tekken Tag's music and might make you just put on your own music...which I've never considered doing... Read Full Review

    The only Tekken game I respect.

    Tekken Tag Tournament (Platinum)

    The only Tekken game I respect.

    A pretty fast Tekken game that not only lets you tag in your partner, but also invites you to explore oddities like Bowling. Several clones, but the overall fighting system is pretty good. You can tag almo... Read Full Review

    How do you top your last 2 masterpieces? Let me count the ways.

    Summoner Yuna must go through her pilgrimage with her oblivious guardian Tidus and gang...wait...I meant Collette!

    I only give games a 7.5 or lower if it is seriously flawed in a vital area. Which this game is not. But what it does do is rip Final Fantasy X's story and remixes it decently enough to where some may not realize the obvi... Read Full Review

    The power of the Playstation 3 finally shows here and won't be shown again until Final Fantasy XIII comes out.

    Take what you hate from the previous three MGS games and either minamize it or erase it all together. This game changes so much yet keeps the core gameplay the same. For one thing, this is the only game I've played th... Read Full Review
