Metal Gear Acid
A must for Metal Gear fans who can tolerate the slow pace of a strategy game.
This was the very first PSP game I picked up. I'm a huge fan of Metal Gear, and the fact that there would be 3 Metal Gear games on PSP (this, Ac!d 2 and the new one coming out) persuaded me to pick it up. All of the ... Read Full Review

The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles
Shivering Isles is just what you'd expect an Oblivion expansion pack to be.
Shivering Isles is an expansion to the role-playing game The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. I've played every version one way or another, but I only actually own the PS3 version, so that's the one I plunked down the $30 fo... Read Full Review

Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution
A solid strategy title, but it's lack of variety hurts its longevity.
A quick review... I couldn't resist the chance to snap up a next-gen turn-based strategy game. Before this point, my exposure to the Civ franchise has been brief, so I approached the game fresh. The game is good fun... Read Full Review

Bomberman
Portable 8-player Bomberman for $15. Genius.
I have a soft spot in my heart for Bomberman. It's always good for a cheap action-puzzler thrill, blowing up cute little men and monsters for the sake of glory. This game is, simply put, Bomberman Nostalgia 101... it w... Read Full Review

Bomberman '93
Bomberman will always be good... but this game is maybe-too-worn territory to a fan of the series.
Bomberman will always be king. Ever since I rented Super Bomberman for my SNES back as a kid... I've been hooked on the addictive multiplayer and played many versions of the game. I had some spare Wii points burning ... Read Full Review

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Another great Legend of Zelda game.
Let's get right to it, shall we? How does Twilight Princess stack up? Is it a worthy Legend of Zelda sequel? The short answer is yes. There are a lot of things this game did right. The classic 3D Zelda formula shi... Read Full Review

Swing Golf Pangya
A cute and functional Wii golf game with lots of content... it's certainly fun enough to overlook its faults.
It's not a perfect golf game, but the Wii controls are fun, there's tons of customization and unlockables, and the gameplay is simple enough and challenging. It really is an average game on the surface, though. The g... Read Full Review

Warship Gunner 2
Ship-to-ship combat by Koei?! Sign me up!
Koei makes Dynasty Warriors, and I'm one of the wierd ones who has played a half-dozen of them. When I noticed they were making a new naval action game, I decided I'd give it a try. I'm really an RPG fan, but I love a ... Read Full Review

Red Steel
This game would have been awesome, had the controls not been crap.
Red Steel was almost a great game. With a simple B- movie plot and some good settings for a shootout, this game could have been a kickin single player FPS. Indeed, some parts of the game are really good... and those ... Read Full Review

Dungeon Explorer
The main appeals of Dungeon Explorer include the 5-player co-op, high difficulty and good music.
To put it simply, Dungeon Explorer is a clone of Gauntlet, the Arcade/NES fantasy action game. Even if you've never played one of the older 2D ones... after playing any action RPG you'll see that they have roots in game... Read Full Review

Akumajou Dracula
I don't care what they say, Super Castlevania IV is still the best Castlevania game there is.
A Quick Review... After playing several of the GBA/DS ones, my taste for Castlevania has kindof gone sour. They abandoned the classic horror platforming action for RPG mechanics, Metroid-style adventuring and redicul... Read Full Review

Ghost Squad
You are the GHOST SQUAD. Don't leave any fruit boxes behind.

Wii Sports
Wii Sports isn't bad for a pack-in party game...

Super Mario Bros.
One of the best video games ever made.
This game takes me back to the time I was introduced to video games. It was one of the first I ever played... it compelled me to ask a shopping mall Santa for a Nintendo. Though he may have brought me SNES instead (to ... Read Full Review

Silpheed: The Lost Planet (Hot Price!)
A solid shmup... definently a great bargain bin find for a fan of the genre.
Fishing through the bargain bin, I happened upon this one... normally I'd have pitched it aside with the other generic "never-heard-of-it" titles, but the foily silver box made me stop and read. What's this? ... Read Full Review

Kingdom Hearts
Kingdom hearts is a satisfying action RPG... with a premise like no other.

Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls
FFI&II on the go can't be beat, but it does have some problems.
A quick review... Dawn of Souls is basically Final Fantasy Origins (PS) on GBA. Which is nice, having these classics on the go is definently a plus. There's even some MORE extras that were added since. For both game... Read Full Review

Zelda no Densetsu: Majora no Kamen (w/Memory Pack)
It's hard to follow up a game like Ocarina of Time... but Majora's Mask does it.
The intro of my review HAS to mention Ocarina of Time. I can't help it. Sorry. This game is the second N64 installment, coming some time after the masterpiece. Could this game ever live up to the classic? I'll tell ... Read Full Review

Senjou no Valkyria
This game slips under the radar and delivers a fun strategy game with lots of personality.
A quick review, since I haven't done one in a while... Valkyria Chonicles is a new turn-based strategy game by Sega, and it offers a blend of atmosphere and gameplay that hasn't quite exactly been done on home console... Read Full Review

Gradius Portable

Perfect Dark was the ultimate console FPS in it's day... and it's still better than many.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Ocarina of Time... the greatest console game in history? That's about the size of it.
A Quick Review... I have seen few finer games than Ocarina of Time. This is the game that turned me into a Zelda fan. I always thought the 2D games were a little average... but this is where the series came into i... Read Full Review

Gauntlet Legends
Guantlet Legends is the ultimate party game.

Field Commander
This game comes off as pretty average to me.
A Quick Review... To put it simply, this game borrows a lot from Advance Wars... to the point of being a ripoff. They play almost identically. This could have been a good thing, as the Wars gameplay is timeless. Ho... Read Full Review

Final Fantasy IX
There's a soft spot in my heart for FFIX.

Choro Q HG 4
Heh... I fished this out of a bargin bin for $5, but my curiosity was not rewarded.
This game is terrible. At first it is unclear what you are supposed to do. As a cute little car, you apparently must drive around town and talk to other cars. They usually (and by usually I mean ALWAYS) only say a o... Read Full Review

Final Fantasy X (Mega Hits!)
Final Fantasy X is still the best PS2 game.

Final Fantasy VIII (Platinum)
Of those worthy enough to remain in my collection, FFVIII is among my least favorite.

Greed Corp
What GreedCorp might lack in variety is redeemed by its interesting concept, low price and surprising tactics.

Dungeons & Dragons Tactics
This portable RPG is far from perfect, but it gets the basics right and is a lot of fun.

Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria
If Final Fantasy XII weren't due out any day now, this would already have my vote for RPG of the year.
Valkyrie Profile 2 is a great RPG. I played the original on PSP... and this game compares well. This one is quite a bit more straightforeward than the original, as you don't have the whole sending-Einherjar situation t... Read Full Review

Bladestorm: Hyakunen Sensou
Bladestorm is an overlooked strategy/action RPG hybrid that delivers loads of medieval mayhem.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Despite being fatally flawed, Oblivion still somehow manages to be an excellent RPG.

Time Crisis 2 (PlayStation2 the Best)
A fantastic arcade game plus a few small extras. Mix in a couple GunCon2's and it's a must-own for arcade fans.
Though I've spent my fair share with this one in the arcade, I've only recently picked it up for PS2. With all this talk of new light gun games for Wii and PS3, I could wait no longer... I grabbed the disc and dusted of... Read Full Review
