    Madden NFL 06

    By jazztrumpet5 | Review Date: Nov 22, 2005 | X360

    Everything else aside, it's still Madden.

    Disclaimer: I've only played it for about 4 hours this morning, so I'm no master....anyways, to my review. Graphics and player models don't seem as "next-gen" as I thought they'd be. Regardless of whether or not you'r... Read Full Review

    Halo 2

    By jazztrumpet5 | Review Date: Nov 12, 2004 | XBOX

    Halo 2 combines action, story (yes, story) and out-and-out fun - yielding one of the best games of the year.

    In all fairness, Halo 2 isn't the perfect game I had hoped for, but one still has to admire and respect the sequel Bungie has presented. First, this is a true sequel to one of the greatest games ever made, and the fa... Read Full Review

    Cinematics + Gameplay = Great game

    The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay

    By jazztrumpet5 | Review Date: Nov 18, 2004 | XBOX

    Cinematics + Gameplay = Great game

    First of all, a disclaimer: I don't really call myself a Vin Diesel fan - I didn't go see the XXX's and all of that, and I didn't really care that he was the "star" of this game by Vivendi Universal. In a rare turn of ev... Read Full Review

    Final Fantasy X (Mega Hits!)

    By jazztrumpet5 | Review Date: Jul 26, 2004 | PS2

    When rating a role-playing game, I tend to really dig into whether or not the story reaches out and grabs ahold. You could definitely ask if the cutscenes were stunning (in FFX, yes), if the battles were intense (again, ... Read Full Review

    Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising

    By jazztrumpet5 | Review Date: Jul 24, 2004 | GBA

    Although I felt a slight twinge of skepticism when I read the reviews of Advance Wars 2, I am now very happy with my choice to buy it - it is one of the best games of this "generation". In fact, strategy fans could very ... Read Full Review

    Far Cry

    By jazztrumpet5 | Review Date: Jun 30, 2004 | PC

    While Far Cry became the "killer app" that caused me to upgrade my video card, I feel that there is a lot more going for this game than just its visuals. The enemy AI is probably the best I've ever faced in a first-perso... Read Full Review

    ESPN College Hoops

    By jazztrumpet5 | Review Date: Dec 04, 2003 | XBOX

    After reading the reviews for ESPN's basketball games this season, I honestly don't know what the hype for the series is all about. I've checked out both the NBA and NCAA games and after trying and trying to enjoy them, ... Read Full Review
