    A great collection of action platformers.

    Jak and Daxter Collection

    By kbaily | Review Date: Aug 20, 2012 | PS3

    A great collection of action platformers.

    I didn't own a PS2 so I missed the great platforming series that graced it. After the Sly collection and looking forward to the Ratchet and Clank collection so in between is the Jak and Daxter series. Now this is a ser... Read Full Review

    The weakest in the series.

    Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One

    By kbaily | Review Date: Aug 10, 2012 | PS3

    The weakest in the series.

    It happens to every series, after making a series of great, innovative games, the series faces the point where it either must innovate or stagnate. Ratchet had reached that after his 2 PS3 outings (2 1/2 if we count "Q... Read Full Review

    Mario's back and kickin' it old school.

    New Super Mario Bros.

    By kbaily | Review Date: Jun 12, 2007 | DS

    Mario's back and kickin' it old school.

    Mario is timeless. You'd think after 25 years, we'd be tired of him, and yet, just as he starts to feel stale, something like "New Super Mario Bros." comes out and reminds us what made him great in the first p... Read Full Review

    The only thing holding you back is your own imagination.

    Scribblenauts

    By kbaily | Review Date: Oct 19, 2009 | DS

    The only thing holding you back is your own imagination.

    Scribblenauts is a title that seemed to come out of nowhere. Then at this past E3 it started getting a lot of buzz as well as being the first handheld game to win Best of Show at an E3 as well as beating out heavy hitter... Read Full Review

    A great Sonic game and a great DS game.

    Sonic Rush

    By kbaily | Review Date: Jun 09, 2007 | DS

    A great Sonic game and a great DS game.

    Poor Sonic, he was doing great until the 3rd dimension was introduced and he hit a wall. Even Sonic's creator Yugi Naka said that "Sonic was the ideal 2D character" and while Mario soared to new 3D heights in ... Read Full Review

    A little blob of goo who drives a tank. How can you not like that?

    Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime

    By kbaily | Review Date: Jun 06, 2007 | DS

    A little blob of goo who drives a tank. How can you not like that?

    First of all, let me say I never played the Dragon Quest games until now. I was unfamiliar with the series but when I got a DS this past Christmas, this game sparked my interest. This is a spinoff of the Dragon Quest... Read Full Review

    How would you like to raise Pinatas for fun and profit?

    Viva Pinata

    By kbaily | Review Date: Jun 06, 2007 | X360

    How would you like to raise Pinatas for fun and profit?

    I've never had much interest in the Xbox. I'm a girl and it's a guys system full of guns, balls and cars. Nintendo is more my style but while I was trying to get my hands on a Wii, I needed something to pass the time a... Read Full Review

    Mario's first Wii adventure is fun and innovative.

    Super Paper Mario

    By kbaily | Review Date: Jun 13, 2007 | WII

    Mario's first Wii adventure is fun and innovative.

    For the first few months of its life, people have been complaining that there's nothing to play on their Wii. By now everyone finished Zelda, played through rounds of Wii sports and downloaded a fair shade of virtual co... Read Full Review

    One of the best Sonic games in quite some time.

    Sonic and the Secret Rings

    By kbaily | Review Date: Jun 06, 2007 | WII

    One of the best Sonic games in quite some time.

    I'm a Nintendo fan since way back, always have been, but I have always had a soft spot for Sonic even though he was once considered the mortal enemy of us Nintendians. Sadly after the downfall of the Dreamcast, fans h... Read Full Review

    Even after so many years, Mario Kart manages to retain the same charm and fun it always had.

    Mario Kart Wii (w/ Racing Wheel)

    By kbaily | Review Date: May 12, 2008 | WII

    Even after so many years, Mario Kart manages to retain the same charm and fun it always had.

    I know many are going to say my review seems a little generous, but I must say, I had a lot of doubts about this title. I've played all the Mario Karts (except for the GBA version) since the SNES one was introduced and ... Read Full Review

    When it works it works well but it can drag at times.

    The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

    By kbaily | Review Date: Jun 23, 2012 | WII

    When it works it works well but it can drag at times.

    I have long given up on the idea that any Zelda game is somehow going to top Ocarina of Time. Hell Ocarina isn't even my favorite Zelda game. Wind Waker is. There I said it. So instead of trying to compare every Zelda ... Read Full Review

    By kbaily | Review Date: May 09, 2008 | WII

    Go buy it right now!

    When I first saw video of Okami I was like "Oh my God! I want to play this game!" Sadly I didn't have a PS2 but almost bought one just for Okami. Despite incredible critical success, Okami got overshadowed by bigge... Read Full Review

    Hangin with Mr. Cooper.

    The Sly Trilogy

    By kbaily | Review Date: May 22, 2012 | PS3

    Hangin with Mr. Cooper.

    I'm so happy we traded in our 360 for a PS3, namely because the PS3 has platformers. Better yet, Sony's been rereleasing classic platformers in shiny HD collections for those like myself who didn't own a PS2 to enjoy so... Read Full Review

    While it improves on the first, in the end this game feels like an unneeded visitor from the past.

    Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II

    By kbaily | Review Date: May 20, 2012 | PS3

    While it improves on the first, in the end this game feels like an unneeded visitor from the past.

    It's funny how quickly the minds of gamers and fans can change within a couple years. Back when Sonic 4 was announced, gamers and Sonic fans had been jaded and tired of broken promises. Watching Sega force Sonic to be ... Read Full Review

    Don't mess with Mr. Mew.

    Subarashiki Kono Sekai: It's A Wonderful World

    By kbaily | Review Date: Sep 20, 2009 | DS

    Don't mess with Mr. Mew.

    I was very torn on this game. Mainly because when it comes to RPGs I sort of have to be in the mood to play one. Most of Square's games after FFVII have become a bit too pretentious. Focusing more on their overly-long... Read Full Review

    World of Warcraft: Cataclysm

    By kbaily | Review Date: Mar 19, 2012 | PC

    A lot of people hate this expansion but I loved it.

    I think WoW players are too hateful. There are some who wish the game had never had done any updates and still had a tedious grind system, no way to find people to run dungeons with, the crappy honor system and no new r... Read Full Review

    Filling the Pikmin 3 void.

    Ousama Monogatari

    By kbaily | Review Date: Aug 24, 2009 | WII

    Filling the Pikmin 3 void.

    Once more we dig through the piles of Wii Third Party shovelware to find one of the few diamonds in the rough (that none of you will play because you're too busy whining about how Nintendo doesn't love you anymore ). Lit... Read Full Review

    Not as good as I hoped.

    Fable

    By kbaily | Review Date: Mar 31, 2008 | XBOX

    Not as good as I hoped.

    Fable was a game to bring RPG's to the Xbox or "shooter box" as it's been affectionately called. Luckily on the Xbox, this game has a chance to stand out as an RPG where if it tired to fit in with the PS2's library it w... Read Full Review
