Final Fantasy XII

Lair

Field Commander

good, but formulaic.

this game has excellent presentation, and great graphics and sound quality. basically, you build armies on a small map and fight a computer, or a friend wirelessly. the campaign is fun and lengthy. i would recommend t... Read Full Review

Final Fantasy XII

not all final fantasies should be like this, but this one works just fine the way it is.

this is one hell of a game. the opening is decidedly my favorite word, epic. action tapers off from there, but picks up strong once you have basch in your party. you can take a 360 and PS3, and shove them somewhere da... Read Full Review

Final Fantasy VIII (Platinum)

hard to get into, but fantastic by the end of disc 1

i had my doubts about this game when i first bought it. the intro sequence was stunning, but at first i was confused and disappointed by the junction system. soon, though, i realized how simple the system is, and i beg... Read Full Review

Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken

great gameplay, and story. graphics are meh.

dont get me started on this game. i think it is the greatest GBA game to date. if you can look past the queer-looking anime charecters, you will find a rich and engaging storyline. the gameplay is very simple. you ha... Read Full Review

Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising

fits just right on the GBA

I bought this game 2 years ago. I have taken breaks from playing it, but just like fire emblem it is addictive and has almost unlimited replay value. the graphics are decent, but the battle animations are great, especi... Read Full Review

Lair

Tragically flawed.

Lair looks and sounds amazing, despite the textures making me a little dizzy playing 3 feet away from my non HD-Tv. I rented this game saying I want to try it, despite what reviewers say. The six-axis flight controls a... Read Full Review

Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII

fun and good plot, but unoriginal all the same, i guess.

I don't get all the negative buzz about this. It's probably because I play so few shooters, and I can see how formulaic this is sometimes, but cmon, a FINAL FANTASY SHOOTER for God's sake! Enemies and levels are too un... Read Full Review

Heroes of Might and Magic V (Limited Edition DVD)

a very comprehensive and addicting strategy title.

5 years ago, in 2001, I spent the last $20 of my hannukah money on the Heroes 2000 gold pack. It included Heroes 1, 2 and 3 basic versions. I shrugged off 1 and 2, and was enveloped in the gameplay of Heroes 3. it's t... Read Full Review

Kingdom Hearts II

KINGDOM HEARTS!!!

FILL ME WITH THE POWER OF DARKNESS! Okay now, this game rocks. The opening with Roxas is a bit slow, but I enjoyed the story there. Once you control Sora, the action really heats up. This game is darker and even more... Read Full Review

Starcraft: Brood War

amazing

This game is the best thing to happen to real time strategy. For those who don't know the premise, you play as one of three races. The Terran are nomadic humans with powerful siege machines and different types of infan... Read Full Review
