Mercenaries 2: World in Flames
Cruddy A.I., lack of strategy, and bad voice acting mar an otherwise great game.
Mercenaries 2 World in Flames lets you do just that, set the world ablaze--at least Venezuela. Taking on the roles of either Mattias Nilssen, Christopher Jacobs, or Jennifer Mui, each with their own attributes, Nilssen h... Read Full Review

Ryuu ga Gotoku
No, this is not GTA meets Japanese organized crime. Far from it indeed.
When I first head that Yakuza was in development, I must admit I was excited. When I got my hands on it, I was taken aback. I erroneously assumed it would resemble Grand Theft Auto. In all reality, it's much more like De... Read Full Review

Bully
Columbine simulator? Hardly!! This game is a refreshing change-of-pace from the ultra violent GTA series.
Rockstar North’s and Rockstar Vancouver’s recent endeavor, “Bully” has sent shockwaves of dissent among many anti-gaming activists, the most prominent being Florida attorney Jack Thompson. But what many of these detracto... Read Full Review

Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance (PCCW The Best)
Take one part Gauntlet and one part Diablo, add repetition, stir, and bring to a boil.
Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance is Snowblind Studio's hack'n'slash answer to Gauntlet and Diablo. In fact, it's so much inspired by those games, that the similarities are all too apparent, which hurts the game more than it h... Read Full Review

Psychonauts
irreverant humor, fun platforming, and imaginative storyline. You can't go wrong with this game.
Psychonauts is brought to us courtesy of Tim Schafer, the same man who brought us Grim Fandango. This game is without a doubt extremely fun to play. The characters are very fleshed out and lively. The plot is intricate, ... Read Full Review

Strider Hiryu 1&2
Not as good as the original, but still fun albeit a bit short.
The story line is hackneyed and pasted together with crazy glue and spinkles. The Action is linear and 2D when it could've been so much more. In the end, Capcom really dropped the ball with this one. It's fun, but too sh... Read Full Review

Strider
Fun and addictive, though the ending could use some work. Serious work.
This is an example of Capcom at it's finest with respect to the NES. Strider is an innovative game that adds platforming and action into a seemless blend. For an 8-bit game, the graphics were incredible. The story line i... Read Full Review

State of Emergency
Anti-corporate video games are ironic because they were developed by corporations and played on consoles owned by corps.
This game is OK. Lets get that out of the way right now. It's not the best video game about rioting, it's OK. It isn't simply a chaotic game with no point but to blast everything in sight. No, my friends. Your job is to ... Read Full Review

Soul Reaver 2
Not as good as the original, but then again, you knew that already.
Soul Reaver 2 is the sequel to the largely outstanding Soul Reaver. This story takes place right where the prequel leaves off. Gamers will assume the role of Raziel, fallen vampire and former Sarafan Knight as he chases ... Read Full Review

Ratchet & Clank 3 (Platinum)
Rock 'em, sock 'em, and fun blasting. What could be more dope?
OK, in my last review of "Going Commando" I inadvertantly called it "Up Your Arsenal" or UYA for short. Well, we all make mistakes. In any rate, this game is very enjoyable because it offers gamers the complete package. ... Read Full Review

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Tatical Espionage Action meets Macguyver and survival skills. Good times had by all!
This game is considerably different from previous MGS games. Leave it to Hideo Kojima to take gamers on a twisting and turn surprise after another. What makes this game so appealing, apart from other stealth action games... Read Full Review

Spider-Man 2
Swing and swing some more.
Combat in this game is lackluster and this voice acting could be monumentally better. The mission are very boring because they're the same old same old. Either you're saving someone from falling off a building, or stoppi... Read Full Review

Sly Raccoon
Cartoony and a little goofy, but fun and enjoyable.
Sly Cooper and the Thievus Raccoonus is a bit off-beat. The game boast cell shaded visuals that look incredible and decent game-play to keep platform fans entertained, but the game is still missing something. Oh, I know ... Read Full Review

Ratchet & Clank 2: Locked and Loaded
An improvement on an already great game series.
Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal is one of the best action platformers to come out in a long time. This game offers gamers so much in terms of content and sheer scope. It’s ambitious to say the least. Insomniac really pu... Read Full Review

Ratchet & Clank (Platinum)
Fun to play, but no replay value.
This game is fun to play and offers a wide array of gadgets and weapons. The only downfall to this game is that there is no replay value. At least not like there is in it's three sequels. The graphics, sound, voice-actin... Read Full Review

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
It's a button masher. To put the "revolutionary" free-form fighting system into layman's terms, it's a button masher!
It's a freaking button masher for God's sake. Anyway, the game is cool enough but it's nowhere near as cool as its predecessor. Now that that is out of the way, let's get on with the review, shall we? The Prince has b... Read Full Review

Onimusha 2
New Character, new game mechanics, same old Onimusha.
This game could've been great. Ultimately, it's just mediocre. It's not a bad game, but it's not good either. It's somewhere in the boring middle. Gamers will take on the role of Jubei Yagyu of the Yagyu clan. This chara... Read Full Review

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
The start of a fresh franchise.
Take time travel without the convoluted storyline usually associated with time travel, acrobatics and puzzle solving, and straight action and you've got Prince of Persia. This game's strong point is the story line, the a... Read Full Review

Onimusha: Warlords
The start of the great franchise that has found a strong following.
This is the first game in the Onimusha series. If you were to take Resident Evil and add samurai and Japanese mythology into a somewhat historically relevant bucket of action, you'd get this game. I say historically rele... Read Full Review

Onimusha 3
Quality product that was grossly underrated.
This game is a great ending to the Onimusha series--well not quite an ending since there is another Onimusha game coming soon, but this game is great nonetheless. While the plot gets kind of whompy with the time travelin... Read Full Review

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (Mega Hits!)
Can we say "complete improvement on an already great game franchise?" Yes we can!
Let me first start out by getting my giddiness out of the way. THIS GAME FREAKING ROCKS. OK, I'm calm now. Any way, the game is very well put together. The graphics are superb and a completely refreshing change for the f... Read Full Review

Metal Gear Solid (Premium Package)
Super sneaky spy action. If it hadn't been for MGS, there'd be no Spinter Cell.
OK, maybe my opening lines are a bit over the top considering that Splinter Cell is way more realistic than Metal Gear Solid, but where Splinter Cell excels in realism, Metal Gear Solid excels in fun. The game is very we... Read Full Review

Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne
An improvement in the graphics department, if nothing else.
Max Payne 2 doesn't offer anything more to the genre of third person shooters. Yes, the bullet time is still there, but it really isn't enhanced contrary to what the developers may tell you. The film noir like atmosphere... Read Full Review

Resident Evil 2 (UK)
One of the most defining games in the survival horror series.
From the atmosphere to the creeping tingle running up your spine, Resident Evil 2 doesn't redefine the genre completely, but it is a nice addition to a series that has seen it's ups and downs. It would be completely unfa... Read Full Review

Spider-Man 3
If you can't say anything nice . . . screw it, this game blows.
OK, I'll be frank. This game is uninspired on so many levels that it's hard to pinpoint just one issue. The game play is marred by an uncooperative camera, quirky combat system, and unintuitive swing system. The graphics... Read Full Review

Max Payne
Much better on the PC, but this is a great port.
The game that introduced us to "Bullet Time," and redefined a whole genre. The third person action genre was never the same after Max Payne was released. This game is highly intense and full of action. The storyline is w... Read Full Review

Ratchet: Deadlocked
While not as engaging as the previous installments, this game is still a lot of fun.
Ratchet Deadlocked has a strikingly interesting premise that offers its fair share of action, but there's one thing missing--Clank! But Clank's absence from Ratchet isn't that bad (he's still in the game, just not with R... Read Full Review
