    Good for fans of the show, but could have been a lot better.

    The Shield: The Game

    Good for fans of the show, but could have been a lot better.

    As a fan of the TV show, I was hyped about 'The Shield: The Game' FINALLY coming out after being delayed. I read the reviews, mostly very negative, before I bought it. I decided to buy it anyway. The game exceeded what I... Read Full Review

    Frustrating repetitiveness and lackluster characters indicate the decline of the once great GTA series.

    Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories

    Frustrating repetitiveness and lackluster characters indicate the decline of the once great GTA series.

    There is a lot of fun gameplay with GTA Vice City Stories, but compared to previous GTA games, it's nothing special. My main complaint is the repetition. Most missions will have three or four parts, and they get more d... Read Full Review

    Could have been great.  SHOULD have been great.  But not great at all.

    X-Men 2: Wolverine's Revenge

    Could have been great. SHOULD have been great. But not great at all.

    If you're a die-hard fan of Wolverine, or just a big fan of the X-Men in general, you can probably get some enjoyment out of this game. But if you're just a casual fan, or you want to play a beat em up game, you're prob... Read Full Review

    Potty Pigeon

    This is why I will always love the C64.

    I laugh that this game is categorized as a "shoot em up". This game is a prime example of why I miss the Commodore 64. In Potty Pigeon, you play a pigeon with the goal of building a nest. You fly across the game scree... Read Full Review

    Die Hard: Vendetta

    If you can get past the sometimes sloppy gameplay, there's a pretty good action FPS.

    There really aren't too many mature rated games for the Gamecube, which makes this game even more under-rated than it already is, in my opinion. I've read the other reviews about this game, and after playing this game... Read Full Review
