Star Wars: Empire at War
A Star Wars game that's true to the original trilogy AND fun to play? The mind boggles at the concept.
Like most children of the 80's, Star Wars Fanboyism is so deeply ingrained into my sub-conscious that I'll instinctively buy almost ANYTHING with the name on it. Yeah, Eps. 1-3 were absolutely horrible, and they came clo... Read Full Review

Ooo! Pretty! Look! Things blow up! Again and again and again... and again... and again... sigh....
I actually thought the Gamespot review on this was pretty spot on. So, rather than writing a straight review, here's a direct transcription of everything that went through my brain while playing this game. 7:15 p.m. ... Read Full Review

God of War (Greatest Hits)
The bar has just been set. You must be at least this high to call yourself an Action/Adventure game from here on out.
The year is 2004. The place is the Los Angeles Convention Center. The time is E3. I'd been sent into a deep blue funk from the sheer number of completely uninspired games I'd seen and played over the last several days... Read Full Review

Indigo Prophecy
No, No, NO. For the love of all that is HOLY, NOOOOOOO!
NO NO a thousand times NO After all the industry hype, it's an unforgivable insult for Indigo Prophecy to be as boring and just plain BAD as it is. here! i'll give you the summary of the entire review that follows in ... Read Full Review

From Russia With Love
It's better than GoldenEye 2! Not that that's saying much...
This is one of the few, if not the only, EA series that I'll still play. I spent an absolutely unholy amount of time playing GoldenEye, and as some kind of wierd debt to that game, I pick up and play to completion every ... Read Full Review

Gun
What's a 3 letter word for mediocre?
GUN (and for the love of all that is holy, why does the name have to be ALL IN CAPS?) is, for the most part, a very playable game. The basic premise is pretty simple. You're a guy. You're in the ol' West. Somebody just ... Read Full Review

World of Warcraft
The world of Azeroth can be more fun than the poverbial barrel of monkeys if you avoid a few common mistakes.
I hear you now, faithful readers: "A review almost 2 years after the game releases? What's the point?" Like a porcupine, or possibly a sea urchin, I assure you that a re-review of WoW at this juncture is absolutely pric... Read Full Review

Blood Will Tell: Tezuka Osamu's Dororo
One of the best games you've probably never heard of.
Congratulations! If you're reading this, than you must have heard of a Blood Will Tell. Sega's marketing and advertising department have yet again managed to do absolutely nothing for a great import and a great game (an... Read Full Review

DOOM 3
Glorified tech-demo
5+ years in the making, Doom 3 is easily one of the most highly-anticipated games in recent memory. For the last 3 years, its area at E3 was a dark area of secrets and vague hints about this truly awesome creation that ... Read Full Review

Half-Life 2
It's not the successor to Half-Life, but it's still probably the best single-player PC game of 2004.
The first Half-Life pegged the bar for this series at an unbelievably high level. Its immersive storyline, expansive gameplay and excellent design changed the way the industry looked at FPS games. In an industry that p... Read Full Review

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
If you haven't played GTA III or Vice City, this is the GTA for you.
It's a sad day that i feel obligated to give a GTA game a poor review. Don't get me wrong! If this game stood on its own, it would definitely be in the high 9s or even get that oh so special perfect 10. BUT (and this is... Read Full Review

The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age
Final Fantasy skinned for LOTR fans
There's really not that much to say about LOTR: The Third Age. Take the combat mechanics from Final Fantasy (or similar turn-based Japanese RPG) and slap them into a sub-standard 3rd person adventure game and viola, yo... Read Full Review

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Game? No. Interactive-Cinematic-Experience? Yes. MGS3: Snake Eater should just give up and be a movie.
Why, you may ask, am I giving what is arguably one of the most highly anticipated games of 2004 such a poor rating? Well, simply put, the word "game" applies to MGS3 in only the most forgiving of definitions. What am i... Read Full Review
