    Long, difficult, amazingly fun, and graphically astounding.

    You will not complete this game in one sitting. You may not complete it at all, but it is still a fun game. The combat rocks, the platforming is innovative, and the graphics are beautiful. The boss fights may seem a b... Read Full Review

    Forbidden Siren

    I think that this is what the horror genre should look to for a guide, but it really needs a touch up.

    Siren has been criticized for being harder than most, more complex (the menu actions), the lack of weapons (they are rather scarce), and the sheer fact that the enemies can't be killed. However, other games have rarely ... Read Full Review

    There are enough things to do to keep you busy. Shame about the combat system, though.

    I believe a good game comes from 2 main things; replay and content. Morrowind has mastered both of these, and the game begs to be played as many times as you can stand it. The blocky graphics are among the worst, but t... Read Full Review
