Jak and Daxter: the Precursor Legacy
A great platformer with solid roots, focused game-play, and a dedication to quality, not quantity.
Take an action-filled adventure through your world, making things right. What was good: It's fun! It's sometimes hard to explain why something is fun, but this game just is. Almost everything works well, and works we... Read Full Review

Evil Dead: Regeneration
A fun time in the world of the Evil Dead; Simple as that.<br />
ED:R provides a straight forward, simple game where you get the chance to blow away deadite baddies. There's not a lot of depth, and the story although a new chapter that takes place after the movies, isn't really import... Read Full Review

Darkwatch
Despite it's weaknesses, this game is oh so cool!
On paper Darkwatch is a pretty standard first person shooter. In practice it is so much more fun; simple, straightforward, mindless, action packed fun. Set in the old west, the story behind the game is fairly weak. A ... Read Full Review

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
When it's good, it's great. When it's not, it's tedious. But it's mostly great.
The story continues from The Sands of Time in this Prince of Persia Sequel. This time, the Prince is out to change his destiny and alter time to circumvent his inevitable demise. The overall core game-play of the orig... Read Full Review

Killzone: Liberation
Prepare to have a quite a fight on (and in) your hands.
Killzone Liberation is a action packed shooter with an overhead, isometric perspective. This was a change in perspective from it's PS2 (and now PS3) first person shooter counterpart. The change works well though, and sti... Read Full Review

Hi-Octane
High speed, Heated action, Heavy fun. A great arcade racer.
High Octane is one of my favourite racers for the PC. Set in a futuristic setting you pilot one of several hover crafts in high speed combat races. What's good: Control. The control for the races were very tight and... Read Full Review

Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones
Great action platformer with a lot of solid game-play to offer.
Prince of Persia. Yes, yes; If you like action platformers you'd be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't try it out. What's good: They kept the core game-play loyal to the original PoP. The game-play itself it f... Read Full Review

Disney/Pixar Up
A fun adventure made even more fun by great co-op.
Up is based on the 2009 Pixar movie of the same name. The movie was about an elderly man, Mr. Frederickson, looking to get away from, well pretty much everybody, and to keep a promise to his wife that passed away. This p... Read Full Review

Star Wars: The Clone Wars
A fun time for a little while in the Star Wars Universe.
It's alright. It wasn't the best Star Wars game I've ever played, but it definitely wasn't the worse. I went in to the game thinking I was going to be dropped into huge roaring battle fields. Although you get the feeling... Read Full Review

TY the Tasmanian Tiger
If you're not a platforming expert, or if you have an affection for the genre, you should give this title a whirl.

Giants: Citizen Kabuto
Still lots of fun, but I think it may have lost some of it's greatness over time.
Giants: Citizen Kabuto is an entertaining title where you take on the role of 3 different characters (well technically 2, but it's more like 3). You start off as Baz who comes from a race of partying soldiers called ... Read Full Review

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Excellent puzzle platforming bogged down by tiring combat.
The well written story of Sands of Time is quite simple. You're a Prince who helped unlock a vicious force that turned the people of the land into evil creatures. You did so with the Dagger of Time that gives you special... Read Full Review

Enter the Matrix
If your a die-hard Matrix fan, you'll probably want to expand the story with this game.
I loved the first Matrix movie. This game is much like the 2nd and 3rd movies were to me; it would've been better if it didn't have the Matrix name attached. There's just so much to live up too. The story of the game ... Read Full Review

Iron Man
The simplicity of an arcade game, but lacks the intensity.
Iron Man appears to me to have stripped down to be a straight forward action game. Normally that would be just what I'm looking for, but the trouble is that the action gets repetitive, and isn't very intense. The game... Read Full Review

LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures
Lego takes you to the movies again, and it's still fun.
Lego Indiana Jones places you in an isometric world of Lego characters modeled after the first 3 Indiana Jones films. We've seen this kind of thing before in Lego Star Wars, but it still manages to be fun, and co-op make... Read Full Review

X-Men Origins: Wolverine
I felt like I had to trudge through the first couple mission before things started feeling fun; but it did get fun.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine follows the plot of the movie, or so I'm guessing. At the time of this review I have not seen the movie. This is also why I was confused when I played 2 separate missions that happened before Log... Read Full Review

Super Monkey Ball Deluxe
Some of the cutest fun you can have, with something for everyone.

Curious George
It serves it's purpose for a less experienced audience.

Ghostbusters: The Video Game
An up-and-down 3rd person shooter that uses it's license as a crutch, but it does so effectively.<br />

Ratchet & Clank (Platinum)

MDK 2
It does both new and old things well, just not quite as good.
One thing that's just as impactful in MDK2 as it's predecessor is sound. The music and ambiance is still great! The humour in the game is not the subtle absurdity as in the first, and so not as entertaining for me. ... Read Full Review

Transformers
Lots of challenging action, but could do with some tweaking.

A great super-hero game for it's time, and a favorite of mine on the PS1.

A disappointing experience that's not as fun as it looks.<br />

X-Men: Mutant Academy 2
The X-Men are going to take you to school. Getting beaten up to have your lunch money stolen now comes with more fun!

Godzilla: King of the Monsters
He's big. He's bad. He's brought a friend. He's repetitive.
