Burnout Revenge

A great continuation of a long-running series; suffering from a previous-gen engine.

If you've played other games in the Burnout series you'll know exactly what to expect when it comes to Revenge. Every mode is back with some twists. Notably, you can now crash into traffic going the same direction as y... Read Full Review

DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil

More like a quick detour to hell with some fast surprises along the way.

Did you already beat Doom 3? Good. Did you like it? Good. Ready for a trip back? Eh.... The expansion features a rather quick jaunt through the Erebus research complex and eventually back to Hell itself to take... Read Full Review

Star Wars: Republic Commando

The most fun I've had playing a Star Wars game to date, and yet...the campaign is so short!

Republic Commando is the best Star Wars FPS game yet. The story takes place between the movies Episode II and Episode III (forthcoming). You play as a commando of the elite delta squad comprising of 4 members including... Read Full Review

Salt Lake 2002

The worst game I have ever played on the GBA platform.

Save your money, save your thumbs, save the 20 minutes you might waste playing this game. Stumbled upon the game, you might say it was thrown to me. It was truly awful. First off, the game begins innocently enough w... Read Full Review

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap

The most fun I've had playing a Zelda game in years.

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap represents something that all Zelda games should return to. Plain ol' fun. I love the Zelda series and have played or own nearly all of them to date. However, some of them run on jus... Read Full Review

Raptor: Call of the Shadows

A superb action game in the vein of the R-type series from arcades.

Apogee Software used to make some incredible shareware games. Shareware now is pretty much non-existent or larger games typically release a free demo. But way back in 1995, I shelled out 7 bucks for the privilege of pl... Read Full Review

Eagle Eye Mysteries: The Original

A fun, witty attempt at Edu-tainment.

Eagle-Eye Mysteries was a game that was bundled with my SoundBlaster 16 ISA Sound Card. ISA you ask? Think Pentium I architecture. The SoundBlaster package came with the thing that we all use today, a CD-ROM drive. And... Read Full Review

The Suffering

In the mood for cursing, big guns, scary creatures, and a story that makes you question the existence of a higher power?

I thought you were. I picked up The Suffering on one of those EB bargain bin diving days. It was actually quite a steal at 17 bucks and I picked up a few other Midway games to boot. (Different Review) So, no guts, n... Read Full Review

You Don't Know Jack

The only video game my parents ever opted to play with me.

I have to say way, way back when I was a kid I had a crappy Pentium 1. 100 MHz, with maybe 32 mb RAM. Yehaw. That sucker could only play a few games and when I found them my parents had to approve them. Then came... Read Full Review

American McGee's Alice

Some seriously twisted graphics, and a morbid take on Alice in Wonderland make for a fun, decent game.

Alice had one of those Marketing ads that most companies only dream about. A thin, waifish girl holding one wicked carving knife. And get this: The in-game models actually looked like the concept art! I enjoyed play... Read Full Review

Wipeout

Wipeout remains one of the few sci-fi racing games left. The original left its mark on gamers everywhere.

For me the introduction to Wipeout began in 1995 with the release of a cyberpunk movie called Hackers. A character within the movie went to an arcade and began playing a racing game with hovercraft and great futuristic ... Read Full Review

Serious Sam: The First Encounter

What could be more fun than firing a gigantic cannon at a Werbull?

Really, what is more fun than that? Serious Sam proves that you don't necessarily have to be realistic to make a good FPS. Set in an Egyptian landscape, Serious Sam proved that you don't need excellent hardware to ge... Read Full Review

Rune

Viking combat?? Gates of Valhalla? Do yourself a favor and pass on Ragnar's quest...

Rune was another bargain bin purchase for me. The game follows a Viking warrior on a quest to destroy the god of (tricks, pain or death?) Loki and it takes him 15 plus levels of easy warriors, weird plants and cool local... Read Full Review

Quake

Simply put: The first, the best, the blueprint.

Quake is one of the few games I didn't exactly latch onto late. It introduced me to the world of First Person Shooters, and I have looked back since. The game itself is very straightforward. Kill everything. I recal... Read Full Review

Panzer Dragoon

Had I played this back in 1995 I probably would have given it higher scores...

I've been trying quite hard recently to play all those games that everyone says "you should play this!". With the release of Panzer Dragoon Orta on the Xbox I thought it was my chance to try out the original from the Se... Read Full Review

Oni

A game that could've been, well...great.

Its not hard to see where developers Bungie Software were going when they came up with the concept for Oni. An anime-based, stylish, 3rd person stealth/fighting/shooting game. Oh, and with a female protagonist. Howeve... Read Full Review

Beyond Good & Evil

A slightly comic adventure game featuring a worthy heroine. Beyond Good & Evil will wrap you in its engaging storyline.

Beyond Good and Evil was a game I discovered in the bargain bin. I think it is now under 20 bucks US which makes it a steal to pick up. I hadn’t played a fun Action-Adventure game in a long time. There’s enough of a p... Read Full Review

Abuse

An engaging side-scroller with plenty of tense moments.

Abuse came out a while ago, I know. If you see it in the bargain bin of your local store, do yourself a favor and pick it up. Abuse was one of the finest games from the now defunct Crack dot Com. In it, you played a... Read Full Review

Battlefield 1942

Did you not see the tagline that read "64 Player Multiplayer"?!??

Again, I jumped on the Battlefield 1942 bandwagon a bit too late. In the end I liked it so much that I ended up upgrading my video card. BF1942 is much more than a WWII themed shooter. You see, it's a way of life. ... Read Full Review

Black & White

You might like it, but I stopped playing the quests 30 minutes in.

I'm not normally a man with a short-attention span. In fact, I've sat through some pretty long games and I can hold my own in a Halo/H2 Marthon session. But this was ridiculous... Within 30 minutes of playing Black ... Read Full Review

Descent II

3D graphics running on a low-end Pentium system? Get right outta town!

Alright, so no one is using a P1 anymore but that doesn't matter. What does matter is that WHEN everyone had a P1 this was the game to have. Descent II follows the original in a few ways but contains more innovative ... Read Full Review

Disney's Aladdin

A visual masterpiece and one of the few games to be spawned off of a successful movie that actually was fun!

Whoa boy kids, time to pull out your Genesis. I know you still have one because I still have one-- if only for this game! I didn't see Aladdin as a kid when it came out. However, I did go over to a friend's house an... Read Full Review

Fury 3

A fast-paced futuristic space flight game for Win95. You owe this game for moving large 3D environments forward in games

Fury3 is quite honestly a nice renamed version of Terminal Velocity. I had downloaded the TV demo and liked playing it but couldn’t find the retail version of it until Fury 3 came out, published by Microsoft. Like a ... Read Full Review

Hellbender

Where did it all go wrong??!? Oh that's right, when you rehashed the same game...

If Microsoft hadn't bought Terminal Reality what would have happened? Would Fury3 have made Terminal Velocity the biggest seller of the year? Would Hellbender have happened? Hellbender is an example of what happened... Read Full Review
