Dead or Alive Paradise

Blue Dragon

EVE Online

Pretty graphics, but boring gameplay. Bring a good book to read while playing.

EVE Online seems like a good idea at first, but it gets boring rather fast. Flying from place to place generally takes a few minutes, during which you're pretty much flying on autopilot. If you're a miner, once you fin... Read Full Review

Meteos

Unlike other games that only claimto be as addictive as Tetris, this one really is.

Meteos is a really addictive, fast moving puzzle game. The pace is fairly similar to Tetris, except that the biggest twist is that the basic gameplay is to face off against 1 to 3 opponents. The computer opponents are ... Read Full Review

Swing Golf Pangya

Albatross18/Pangya made better by the Wii. A great golf sim if you can stand the cute anime-style characters.

Note: This is a fairly long review. If you don't want to read the whole thing, jump to the bottom for my conclusion. Super Swing Golf is the Wii version of Albatross 18, an online golf game known as Pangya to the rest... Read Full Review

The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth II

Captures the atmosphere of Middle-Earth well. Above average as RTS games go.

I never played the original LOTR: Battle for Middle-Earth, but have plenty of RTS experience, including the WarCraft/StarCraft series, Command & Conquer, Rise of Nations, etc. Battle for Middle-Earth II stacks up pretty... Read Full Review

Star Wars: Republic Commando

Not as long as Halo, but the Star Wars universe and squad based features make this game a blast to play!

Playing Republic Commando reminded me a lot of Halo (1 and 2). The campaign is exciting with a great tempo to it, and really gives you the feeling of playing the role of an elite solider. The game doesn't match up in t... Read Full Review

Outpost Kaloki X

Brings back memories of old sim games like Theme Hospital.

Outpost Kaloki X is pretty weird, but strangly addictive. There's certainly nothing amazing about it, but it's a fun game to play when you need a break from the more action paced games. The basic gameplay revolves ar... Read Full Review

Fable

Short of the hype, but better than the flames

Fable is definitely a fun game, but is missing certain elements to make it complete. The largest of which is difficulty. I never died, and failed a couple missions only because bandits snuck up on people I was escortin... Read Full Review

Spider-Man 2

After I finished renting the original Spider-man game for Xbox, I decided that it was an okay game. There wasn't anything amazing about it, but it was fairly fun and was above average as far as comic/movie based games g... Read Full Review

Dark Chronicle

Dark Cloud 2 sets a new bar for creating sequels. The gameplay is very similar to the first game, except that they improved upon it in almost every conceivable way. The nuisances that slowed the first game down are gon... Read Full Review

Wario Ware, Inc: Minigame Mania

I thought this game was too weird to buy, until a friend of mine showed it to me. It's an insanely fun concept. If you're in the mood, you could probably sit down and play it for several hours. But one of the best asp... Read Full Review

Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis

I had some fun playing this game co-op, but the single player campaign seemed too scripted for my tastes. Even in multiplayer, it's fairly noticeable that the enemy AI is somewhat lacking. Outside of the scripted event... Read Full Review

Dead or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball

While I agree with the idea that there could have been more done with this game, instead of complaining about all of the ideas that might have been implemented, I'd rather focus on what is in the game. And it's simply a... Read Full Review

City of Heroes

Probably the best feature of CoH is the character creation. I hope more games use the idea of building characters from selecting different styles for each part of the body (rather than just picking skin color, head, and... Read Full Review
