    Action Fighter

    A pretty tough and unforgiving game makes this more than frustrating.

    If you're looking for a game with cars, guns and explosions in a high-paced frenetic frenzy, then this game is still probably not the game for you. Action Fighter doesn't really have much of a story. You start the ga... Read Full Review

    Forget this forgettable platformer.

    Alex Kidd: Tenkuu Majou

    Forget this forgettable platformer.

    Though the Sega Genesis was one of the two premier systems in the early 1990s, it sure did have a lot of games that were probably better left in the vault, locked away and secluded for all time to forget. Unfortunately,... Read Full Review

    Double Dragon

    It's time to save the girl... again.

    Back in the 1980s, there was a wide selection of arcade games with every genre but platformers held the greatest spot in my heart. One game in particular I can still remember to this day and with Xbox live allowing you ... Read Full Review

    There is simply no better world simulation yet to be created.

    Sid Meier's Civilization IV

    There is simply no better world simulation yet to be created.

    World simulation games have been generally, a small niche market. I remember back to the days of Populous or Sim City and those games were simply enjoyable because they were unique. Giving you so much power over simula... Read Full Review

    Rhythm based games can be fun and are even better when they're free.

    Audition Online

    Rhythm based games can be fun and are even better when they're free.

    Since the late 90s, there's been more and more rhythm games hitting the markets. The success of Rock band or earlier games like Parappa the Rapper is a testament to the success of these games and Audition is another gam... Read Full Review

    A tactical game with flair and style is sometimes hard to find, but Ogre battle does both quite well.

    Densetsu no Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen

    A tactical game with flair and style is sometimes hard to find, but Ogre battle does both quite well.

    Back in the days of the Super Nintendo, it was hard to find a lot of games that you could play for more than an hour that also had some cool graphics and animations. Ogre Battle fits into that plane with it's unique sen... Read Full Review

    Lock's Quest

    <br /> A tower defense game except in the palm of your hands

    The Nintendo DS has had a lot of success with unique games. One type of game that hasn't really found a home, is a tower defense game. Lock's Quest tries to fill the void and does a very acceptable job. Lock's q... Read Full Review

    If you're looking for a trip back to the old school days of dungeon crawling, you'll enjoy this one.

    Games have constantly been improved on aspects such as graphics and customization, but some players yearn for some of the older types of games. Some of them include the traditional 2D fighting styles or the basic first ... Read Full Review

    Though this game has been back more than a fair amount of times, this version showcases a new sense of replayability.

    If you've been around the gaming scene in the last decade, you've probably heard of one, or more, of the Resident Evil games. With all the movies and now with Resident Evil 5 coming out in the future, it's not hard to s... Read Full Review

    Final Fantasy IV

    Final Fantasy IV for the DS blends the old with the new quite well.<br /> <br />

    Remakes are generally hit or miss for a lot of reasons. Sometimes, styles of game just don't make the transition because the trend is different. Other times, so much is changed that the original game and the current fo... Read Full Review

    Skies of Arcadia Legends

    Exploration, pirates, and role playing all combined into one source.<br /> <br />

    As a player of many role playing games, it is a little sad that the Gamecube's library doesn't seem to have a lot of these games. Back in 2003, this RPG-starved library was crying out for something great and Skies of Ar... Read Full Review

    Soul Blader

    Old School action RPGs might be a lost game form, but it hasn't lost it's appeal.<br />

    Arguably, Diablo is the king of all action RPGs. It has teamplay, a good story, and so many items to go through with the randomly generated dungeons, that make each time you play seem like a new experience. Though Soul... Read Full Review

    The Phantasy Star series continues with this third installment.

    After playing so many role playing games, it is nice to see that some of them stick to difficulty and story. Some role playing games don't have a lot of staying power simply because the story is weak or it doesn't conne...
