Black

Missed the mark. Just another average FPS.

The game is beautiful graphically first of all. They really did a good job with the way walls crack and pillars crumble. There is quite a bit of detail just about everywhere. But after you get over the pretty factor a... Read Full Review

Alien vs. Predator

Best AvP first person shooter when you consider the era.

If these same developers decided to do another AvP first person shooter on a current or maybe next-gen console, they could blow Halo out of the water. They didn't mess around with the game, it is really top notch. Supr... Read Full Review

The GG Shinobi II

By far the best Shinobi title, possibly best ninja title.

Sega did it up right for this great Game Gear title. Controls are basic but simple and easy to master. Graphically Shinobi 2 makes Game Gear look better than most of it's games. Nothing that really sets it apart from ... Read Full Review

Mutant League Football

Killed the ref? 10 yard penalty.

This title had the makings of horrible attempt written all over it. It should have been a $1 bargain bin special... But it wasn't, in fact far from it. Take a team of skeletons or Alienesque monsters and run "through"... Read Full Review

Yu-Gi-Oh! Shin Duel Monsters II: Keishou Sareshi Kioku (Konami the Best)

If you HAVE to play every Yu-Gi-Oh title that hits the shelf then give it a shot. Otherwise stay away.

I think it is sad that because the game Yu-Gi-Oh is designed for a younger audience, video game makers think they can get away with pumping out junk titles to make them happy. First of all, Yu-Gi-Oh as a card game can b... Read Full Review

Kingdom Hearts II

Kingdom Hearts makes you less embarressed about knowing so much about all those Disney movies.

The first Kingdom Hearts drew off of a selection of some of the most diverse predeveloped characters and worlds in the present day entertainment world. Final Fantasy and Disney. And it was a huge success. The game was... Read Full Review

Final Fantasy IX

Once agains Square proves that if Final Fantasy is in the title it's going to be engrossing, innovative and tons of fun.

The last Final Fantasy title for PSone. The graphics are great, with a new almost cartoony yet quasi-real look to the characters and amazing visuals littered throughout the game. You learn abilities and spells from you... Read Full Review

Armored Core 3: Silent Line

Mecha combat doesn't get better on a console. Agetec leaves nothing to be desired, except maybe graphically.

OK I have said it before and I'll say it again. I am SOOO addicted to Armored Core. Thankfully Agetec makes me feel less and less guilty about saying it with each new release. Silent Line is the expansion for AC3 and ... Read Full Review

Armored Core 3

I am SOOO addicted to Armored Core. Fully customizable, fast and mobile giant war robots. Need I say more?

I am hooked. I HAVE been since the beginning. Rented the original from Blockbuster and never returned it. How much better can it get that giant fighting robots? Strap on your shoulder rocket launcher, attach you lase... Read Full Review

Final Fantasy Tactics (PSOne Books)

How DOES Square do it? Brilliant. A staple on any serious PS playlist.

The basics of how to make an amazing tactics game. You have two options. 1.) Create a series and build each title upon the successes of the previous. Learn from mistakes and take advantage of designer experience in ... Read Full Review

Resident Evil 4

Capcom in all their glory. And then some.

Resident Evil... I remebering locking all the doors to the house, sitting alone in the dark at about 2am, sleep deprived and wide-eyed as I navigated my way through the mansion at the start of the original Resident Evil... Read Full Review

God of War (Greatest Hits)

Not your average run, jump and slash action adventure... Say it with me... "WOW"

They did everything right. A warlord that promises his life to the God of War, Ares (known for his violent and horrific attitude toward battle), in exchange for the ability to vanquish his foes. Before God of War this ... Read Full Review

Shadow of the Colossus

You vs. Giant Sword Weilding Colossus... and it plays well and looks pretty to top it all off.

Shadow of the Colossus is one of the reasons to own a PS2. I have never seen something like it. It is new and exciting and doesn't suffer from the hick-ups the normal new and exciting do. You are thrown into an beauti... Read Full Review

Dragon Quest VIII: Sora to Umi to Daichi to Norowareshi Himegimi

Let this be a lesson to them. The U.S. LIKES it!

Normally cell-shading turns me away from a game. But it is Square... and it had the FFXII demo... I was HIGHLY impressed. Even the lack of playable characters (only 4 through the whole game), couldn't get me to put d... Read Full Review

Radiata Stories

Fun, but where is that SQUARE kick I'm so used to???

80% of the determining factor when I buy a game is the game publisher. I'm thinking of rethinking the way I think about it. (ok that was bad I know) Graphically the game is pretty nice, but the soundtrack is a little ... Read Full Review

Parasite Eve II (PSOne Books)

Best survival horror to date. Period. (sorry Capcom)

The first Parasite Eve gave us a taste of how a cross between survival horror and rpg should be done. In Parasite Eve 2 we pull much closer to pure survival horror. In fact you could just say survival horror with a new... Read Full Review

Final Fantasy VII

Many peoples epitome of entertainment. Storyline unrivalled by book, movie or game.

What do you say about, arguably, the BEST piece of entertainment work to ever be conceived? If you are an rpg'er and you haven't played FF7, do now. If you play games at all, try this unprecedented epic on for size. I... Read Full Review

RockMan's Soccer

OK the make really never had a chance to be great, but it could have been a lot better.

OK so Megaman, Cutman and Dr. Wily walk into a bar.... and that's it. MegaMan Soccer? It had enough potential to at least be one of the titles that you couldn't rave about but might have snuck away in your private col... Read Full Review
