Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast

By jacardin | Review Date: Nov 03, 2005 | PC

With revolutionary enhancements to the original Jedi Knight engine, this is how saber combat is supposed to be!

When Jedi Outcast was released, it was receiving rave reviews everywhere. Never before had saber combat been like this. It felt real, the AI responded realistically; you could now actually duel an intelligent AI in Jedi ... Read Full Review

Columns

By jacardin | Review Date: Nov 03, 2005 | SMS

One of the first iterations of the Tetris killer, Columns!

Nintendo got Tetris. Sega fired back with Columns. 'Nuff said. Gameplay is very similar to Tetris. You must line up falling vertical columns (each consisting of 3 colors) so you match three (or more) of the same color... Read Full Review

Akumajou Dracula

By jacardin | Review Date: Nov 03, 2005 | NES

The instant classic that inspired an entire series of Action games and RPGs.

Castlevania. Say the word today and everybody will know you're talking about a game that features a whip-swinging hero who beats up evil vampires. Even if they've never played the original Castlevania. What was so goo... Read Full Review

Arch Rivals: The Arcade Game

By jacardin | Review Date: Nov 03, 2005 | GEN

The 2 v. 2 basketball game that allows you to punch and tackle your opponents!

Arch Rivals is not basketball. It is a completely different concept using basketballs, hoops, a basketball court, and uniforms. But it is not professional 5 v. 5 basketball. No rules, no fouls, no foul shots. You star... Read Full Review

Archon

By jacardin | Review Date: Nov 02, 2005 | NES

A chess-style board game that merges action and strategy most effectively.

Ah yes, Archon. There have been many ports of Archon to various computers and consoles, and that is a very good thing. You may play 1-player or 2-player, controlling the forces of either light or dark. Playing with an... Read Full Review

8 Eye's

By jacardin | Review Date: Oct 27, 2005 | NES

Action combined with intelligence. Uncommon these days in the world of gaming, but 8 Eyes pulls it off fairly well.

The game is difficult. After spending a couple hours mastering the controls and getting the timing just right, you'll get the hang of it. You will need to keep control of your life force, saving all your life for the bos... Read Full Review
