    Meteos

    Best action-puzzle game on the DS... ever!!!!

    Meteos is one of those games that get lost b/c people want samus and mario, but this is one that everyone should play. Action-puzzler games are usually not that good unless they have something totally innovative, meteos... Read Full Review

    Einhander

    A solid and enjoyable 2D shooter, it's also one of Squares best obscure games.

    Einhander (there are 2 dots horizontally placed above the “a”) for the Play Station can be called an “experiment” by Square; it was released in 1997 in Japan and 1998 in North America. As it was coming from Square (it wa... Read Full Review

    Shadow of the Colossus

    The apotheosis of a man in the name of love comes at the price of sixteen Colossi.

    Adventure games usually pan out like this: - Some stupidly long and tiresome exposition which sets up the main villain and fills our hero with the burning flame of intrinsic motivation to crush said villain. - The ma... Read Full Review

    MSC's arcade style soccer/football is a joy to play and the online aint too shabby.

    Super Mario Strikers (SMS) for the Gamecube was a Mario’s first soccer/football game, and it was pretty good. Mario Strikers Charged (MSC) improves upon the arcade style of SMS in almost every way. Nothing drastically ha... Read Full Review

    Time is a funny thing.

    I'm sure that Jonathan Blow, the main lead developer on Braid, is proud of himself. Braid is not only a fun puzzle game, but also it bleeds quality and polish. The XBLA has seen only a small handful of original games, an... Read Full Review

    Would you kindly?
