    Very immersive and detailed version of Middle-earth.  A must-see!

    The Lord of the Rings Online: Mines of Moria

    Very immersive and detailed version of Middle-earth. A must-see!

    I've been playing LOTR Online for over a year. I have a Guardian (tank) character at level 60, which is the current level cap. Others have said that there's too much grind in this game, but I have yet to hear of anothe... Read Full Review

    True to the lore (most of the time).  Still an amazing world, and an amazing experience.

    The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar

    True to the lore (most of the time). Still an amazing world, and an amazing experience.

    If you come into Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO) and you have plenty of fantasty gaming experience, you'll think that this is just yet another orcs vs elves experience. And that is true, in a sense. But know first tha... Read Full Review

    The XBox's "Luigi's Mansion"

    Grabbed by the Ghoulies

    The XBox's "Luigi's Mansion"

    This game, "Grabbed by the Ghoulies" (GbtG), is very similar to the Gamecube's "Luigi's Mansion" (LM), wherein the hero is made to fight and solve his way through a haunted mansion in order to rescue ... Read Full Review

    Gets interesting when you start building up your car, and racing the season events.

    IHRA Professional Drag Racing 2005

    Gets interesting when you start building up your car, and racing the season events.

    You can play this game using only your right hand, literally. I've never had to steer, even once. It's not a bad game, though, because the challenge comes with getting better reaction times at launch, and better shifti... Read Full Review

    Excellent game, and finally Luigi stars in his own game!  What's more, this isn't just another platformer...

    Luigi Mansion

    Excellent game, and finally Luigi stars in his own game! What's more, this isn't just another platformer...

    OK, "just another" platformer doesn't imply that other platformers, particularly Mario-universe platformers, are bad. But a game starring Luigi could have been another Mario-style platformer. Thankfully, it i... Read Full Review

    Nice idea, horrible execution.

    Daedalus Episode 1: Nanpasen no Alien

    Nice idea, horrible execution.

    OK so this game was released in the mid-90s, and I'm just now playing it in 2010. Sue me! I saw this as I was browsing through the games at the local used books/game/video store, and it seemed like an interesting ide... Read Full Review

    Overall a quality game, but the camera was so frustrating that I quit playing it.

    Banjo to Kazooie no Daibouken

    Overall a quality game, but the camera was so frustrating that I quit playing it.

    Banjo-Kazooie is a straight-up Mario-style platformer. This means that you have to wander around several different worlds finding various objects, such as puzzle pieces, feathers, and musical notes. The whole object is... Read Full Review

    Fun, faithful adaptation of the book, The Hobbit.

    The Hobbit

    Fun, faithful adaptation of the book, The Hobbit.

    One of the best aspects about this game is that we get to see and move around in the same world and scenarios as we read in the book. As I played, I kept thinking how well-rounded the production seemed to be. I really ... Read Full Review

    I Was an Atomic Mutant!

    As the main review says, the presentation and all but the gameplay is great. But the game itself is horrid!

    Not much else can be said about this game that hasn't already been said. I bought it thinking it would be some mindless fun. Well, the first part was right: mindless. There isn't really anything to do that's fun. You... Read Full Review

    I think this is my favorite game of all time...

    Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast

    I think this is my favorite game of all time...

    It's tough for me to say anything bad about this game. I've been an obsessive Star Wars fan since '77, and this game brought back all the warm-fuzzies that I had when I was a kid. Why? Because. OK, more than that, r... Read Full Review

    A cross between James Bond, Quake, and No One Lives Forever.  The greatness, as with any great game, is in the details.

    Perfect Dark

    A cross between James Bond, Quake, and No One Lives Forever. The greatness, as with any great game, is in the details.

    The N64 game "Perfect Dark" is as good as a game gets. Only reason I didn't give it a perfect 10 is because of the inherent limitations of the console controller, which is not the ideal configuration for a fir... Read Full Review

    Space Station Silicon Valley

    I tried to play this game, but it made me dizzy. I finished the first three missions and had to quit. :(

    I had read nothing but good reviews for "Space Station Silicon Valley", and since Nintendo is known for having creative, fun, and just-plain-different games for their consoles, I just had to try this one. Well... Read Full Review

    Possibly the most weapons-balanced shooter ever.

    Serious Sam: The Second Encounter

    Possibly the most weapons-balanced shooter ever.

    This game's not very deep. Actually, there isn't any depth to it at all. The whole point to it is to run and gun. Then run and gun some more, only this time like you really mean it !! The keys to the greatness of thi... Read Full Review
