Massive Assault

By monco59 | Review Date: Dec 23, 2010 | PC

An enjoyable but excessively difficult turn-based strategy game.

Massive Assault would be best described as chess on steroids. Even though at first glance the 3D graphics may fool you, this game is a pure hex-based strategy game at heart. It pits two generic science fiction factions a... Read Full Review

Pocket Monsters Pikachu

By monco59 | Review Date: Sep 16, 2010 | GB

An addictive Pokemon game. What else is new?

Unlike most people who buy Pokemon games, I don't actually like the show one bit. So why did I buy Pokemon Yellow you ask? Well your guess is as good as mine. The point is, I bought the game and now I'm going to review i... Read Full Review

Chip to Dale no Daisakusen

By monco59 | Review Date: Dec 23, 2010 | NES

A simple yet addictive game in the vein of Mega Man and Bionic Commando.

Who among us doesn't remember the dynamic duo of Chip and Dale? They started life as mere annoyances for Donald Duck, unable to talk or otherwise contribute to society. But in 1989 Disney decided these guys needed a face... Read Full Review

Prince of Persia

By monco59 | Review Date: May 09, 2010 | PS3

Like most of Ubi Montreal's recent efforts, PoP is a repetitive game in a pretty package.

The Prince of Persia franchise has long roots, extending all the way back to 1989. In the world of videogames, that's practically ancient. Naturally, for a series so old, the Prince has gone through a number of redesigns... Read Full Review

Chase the Express (Platinum)

By monco59 | Review Date: Oct 24, 2011 | PS

A lackluster Resident Evil clone without the zombies.

The Blue Harvest is an armored bullet train that is carrying the French ambassador to Russia, Pierre Simon and his family. When the train is speeding through Eastern Europe, it is attacked by a band of terrorists calling... Read Full Review

Crusader: No Remorse

By monco59 | Review Date: Dec 23, 2010 | SAT

Despite the rather cumbersome controls, Crusader delivers an explosive action game that is sure to please Saturn owners.

Porting successful games from the PC over to a console is no new thing. So it should come as no surprise that Crusader: No Remorse found it's way on to the Saturn after enjoying a great run on PCs. The game tells the sto... Read Full Review

Gears of War

By monco59 | Review Date: Dec 23, 2010 | X360

As visceral as a chainsaw to the head but infinitely more enjoyable.

Much has been made about the cover system featured in Gears of War. While it's certainly not revolutionary, it is a great addition and one that has a profound impact on gameplay. Indeed, on harder difficulty levels when ... Read Full Review

Battlefield 2

By monco59 | Review Date: Dec 20, 2010 | PC

If you can actually get Battlefield 2 to work, you're in for a treat.

Ever since Battlefield 1942 burst onto the scene in 2002, fans have eagerly been waiting for a true sequel. For better or worse, Battlefield 2 is it. Set in modern times, Battlefield 2 pits three factions (USA, China and... Read Full Review
