Quake II
In space no one can hear your meaty chunks flying through the air.
The first Quake was as important to the FPS genre as Doom or Half-Life. It was a game that was mind numbingly fast paced, it had tons of weapons, boat loads of nightmarish monsters and the best multiplayer action the wor... Read Full Review

DOOM 3
Most maligned game ever? Not quite.
I've been thinking of how to start this review for a while now... in-between work, women and having a life, I thought of a bunch of intros for my Doom 3 review and I came to the conclusion that it's best to document how ... Read Full Review

Civilization III: Play the World
Baragin bin material... where it belongs.
Not every expansion pack is bound for glory... some are quite bad. PTW was among the bad ones when it was released in 2002 with horrible multiplayer support, major lag, and almost zero improvements to the Civ formula. ... Read Full Review

The second time Firaxis gets it right... sort of.
Lets get something straight: Civ 3: Conquests is a meatier expansion than the content-deficient Play the World but it still fails to fix some problems that will make you bang your head against your monitor in frustration... Read Full Review

Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings
Gaming orgasm in a box.
Ahh the dog days of 1999... Everquest, Quake 3, Unreal Tournament, Heroes 3 and Age of Empires 2. In the minds of the many LAN party addicts and MS Zone gamers AoE 2 did more for the genre than any one game, even Star... Read Full Review

Age of Empires
To mass rush priests or not to mass rush priests? That is the question I ask thee.
Age of Empires was released in 1997, a year that saw Quake 2 and other future giants of gaming. It was not easy for an RTS in 1997 to distinguish itself, especially with such hard hitters as the previously mentioned Quak... Read Full Review

Rad Racer
Thank God Squaresoft stopped making non-RPG games. Oh, wait... never mind.
The racing genre has only evolved into anything resembling reality in the last few years. GT started a revolution, NASCAR games proved that Papyrus is obsessed with reality, and NFS showed us how much fun it is to drive ... Read Full Review

Dragon Ball: Shenron no Nazo
Not even the most psychotic fan would buy this game.
Ahh, the Dragon Ball franchise. How many things has it withstood? Angry fanboy rhetoric? Check. Tons of filler episodes with constipated-looking-characters? Check. Bad games? CHECK!! I've played many bad games in my l... Read Full Review

Mario vs. Viruses. Aaaaaaannnnnnddd... FIGHT!

Street Fighter III: Double Impact
If you must own a copy of Street Fighter III on your DC, this will suffice - but just barely.
Ah, Street Fighter 3, how much have we waited for your appearance! After about 7 or 8 SF2 rehashes and the EXCELLENT SFA series, the time has finally come to unleash Street Fighter 3. The time sucks, as Street Fighter... Read Full Review

Silent Hill 2: Saigo no Uta
Do you easily get scared by shadows in the night? Then you'll piss your pants when playing this game.
Silent Hill 2 (SH2) is one of the most disturbing games I have played. Never since Doom have I ever felt threatened by the actual game. With disturbing monsters, 6 endings, exceptionally created environments, and absolut... Read Full Review

Gamespot, I contradict you:One of the most abitiously flawed games of the year.

Woah, are they actually ****ing shooting that commarade who just jumped over board?

Paperboy
Like you're grandfather would say: "Get a job sonny!"

Hands down, the most recognizeable and enjoyable PC racing game ever.

A horror classic, in every sense of the genre.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3
Fans have been waiting for this game for decades... fighting fans that is.

Hellfire
Do you have anything better to do with your money? Than don't grab this expansion pack.
Hellfire might be one of the oddest expansion packs ever: It wasn't made by the company that made the original game. The results were disastrous. No one knows who it happened but, somehow Blizzard was too busy with Di... Read Full Review

Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing
Just don't go there.
Big Rigs, what is it you may ask? But you'd be wrong, what does this game want to be is a more correct question. To that I could answer: ''A truck sim'', ''An arcade racer'' or ''A game''. To put it bluntly this game ... Read Full Review

Super Mario Bros.

Final Fantasy X (Mega Hits!)
