    TMNT

    By firebirdboi06 | Review Date: Jun 13, 2008 | GBA

    It's simple, to the point, and best of all, captures the essence of the classic Turtles arcade games.

    TMNT is a movie I haven't managed to see yet. But, I feel like I still haven't seen it thanks to the very spoiler free game, TMNT on the GBA. One important thing to note is that this is not a sweeping drama of Hideo ... Read Full Review

    Mario Kart DS (DS Bundle)

    By firebirdboi06 | Review Date: Jun 21, 2007 | DS

    Mario Kart DS is a wonderful showcase for the handheld's power and Wi-Fi capabilities.

    I've loved Mario Kart since the 64 iteration but this DS game tops my experiences with it. The whole idea is that you portray one of the characters from the Mario universe and race around in your choice of kart. But in t... Read Full Review

    By firebirdboi06 | Review Date: May 27, 2008 | DS

    A high difficulty mars what is otherwise a fantastic turn-based strategy title.

    Days of Ruin is my first Advance Wars game. I know, I'm late to another party. Anyway, In Days of Ruin I had plenty of fun for a bit, with the point and click style of gameplay being refreshing to see, having played game... Read Full Review

    DJ Hero is a nice, fresh take that the music game genre sorely needed.

    DJ Hero

    By firebirdboi06 | Review Date: Oct 27, 2009 | PS3

    DJ Hero is a nice, fresh take that the music game genre sorely needed.

    DJ Hero is an interesting little beast. With the regular edition selling at around $120, and the Renegade Edition selling at around $200, you'd be surprised to find that if you enjoy any of the music inside (anything... Read Full Review

    Link to the Past is the definitive 2D Zelda experience with a solid conversion to GBA that retains most of the SNES ed.

    Going into Link to the Past, I had a lot of expectations, largely from what others had told me about it. Gladly, I was not disappointed. The GBA edition of A Link to the Past with very few differences, and those chan... Read Full Review

    Sonic 3 has some of the best challenges, best Robotnik battles, and best level design of the Genesis games.

    Sonic 3 continues where Sonic 2 left off, with Sonic and Tails coasting down to the surface and following Robotnik to prevent him from repairing the Death Egg. Only problem is Robotnik has enlisted the help of an echnida... Read Full Review

    Elite Force on the PS2 proves that sometimes games are better left unported.

    Star Trek Voyager Elite Force is a fun game in it's own right. Let's get that out of the way. It does a nice job of rcreating the atmosphere from the TV series, and does an outstanding job of creating an entertaining sho... Read Full Review

    Kingdom Hearts

    By firebirdboi06 | Review Date: Apr 24, 2008 | PS2

    Kingdom Hearts is a crown achievement in story-telling from two polar opposites.

    Kingdom Hearts is a game that seems impossible - take Disney movies, tie them all together as multiple worlds and add some Final Fantasy zest - and yet Kingdom Hearts is a crowning achievement for both Disney and Square.... Read Full Review

    A good improvment from the Sorcerer's Stone, this is a video game adaption that is actually a bit of fun.

    After having played the Sorcerer's Stone, I was a little skeptical about this or any other Harry Potter game, but EA Games came through and gave me a nice surprise with the Chamber of Secrets. This time around, the game ... Read Full Review

    By firebirdboi06 | Review Date: Dec 30, 2005 | PC

    A wonderful game for a youngster, but repetitive to the point of annoyance for older fans of J.K. Rowling's series.

    Harry Potter's first venture into the realm of gaming is one giant flop. At least for someone twelve or older. Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone (or Philosopher's, for the rest of the review, it'll be Sorcerer's) ... Read Full Review

    By firebirdboi06 | Review Date: May 15, 2007 | PC

    An even shorter game and oversimplified gameplay make this version of Spidey 2 horrendous.

    This is hardly the same as the Treyarch developed game for the PS2, XBox and GameCube. This is instead an overly simplified game that in my eyes seems more designed for kids than long-time Spidey fans. Oddly enough, g... Read Full Review

    Pokémon Ranger brings unique gameplay elements to the table, but still recycles some story elements.

    Pokémon Ranger is the most unique pokémon game so far. That being said, parts of it feel recycled from previous games. In Ranger, you have an interest in helping to preserve pokémon versus capturing and training them... Read Full Review

    It almost feels like a re-release, but the levels are more dastardly and clever than ever before.

    New Super Mario Bros. might be the youngest of the 2D Mario platformers, but by no means is it a slacker. Presentation wise, it most reminds me of Super Mario Bros. 3, if it had 3D elements. However, in this game, Pea... Read Full Review
