Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe

By thicknick | Review Date: Jul 16, 2010 | X360

This game does not get the respect it deserves because of fanboys pleading for gore.

First of all, this game has sold about 2 million copies to date and was the most highly preordered MK game of all time (although I'm sure MK9 will change that). It was what fans wanted, in a nutshell: -A return to a 2D ... Read Full Review

Hellgate: London

By thicknick | Review Date: Aug 11, 2008 | PC

Awesome for what it is. What is it? It's awesome.

People are ridiculous. As of today, there are no notable bugs in the game that I've noticed all the way up to level 20 with 2 characters. If you're reading this review you probably already know that the guys who made ... Read Full Review

No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle

By thicknick | Review Date: Feb 11, 2010 | WII

I really wanted to love this one. I wanted it to be everything the original wasn't. Well...

The first thing you'll notice is that the game is prettier than the original. The next thing you'll notice is that the game's combat system is exactly the same with a few almost unnoticeable tweaks (such as running into... Read Full Review

Oneechanbara Revolution

The most honest review a man could do.

The good: -The game is damn cheap -Surprisingly solid wiimote-based controls make for a unique experience. -Four different playable characters, each with their two unique fighting styles -A daunting number of above a... Read Full Review

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Fuuketsu no Grimoire

By thicknick | Review Date: Jun 29, 2008 | DS

Final Fantasy Tactics A2 is a souped up version of Tactics advance, neatly adapted to the DS and a great time.

Basically what we have here is Final Fantasy Tactics Advance Part 2. It isn't really a sequel in its presentation, but a direct imitation of the last game. The graphics are definitely a bit cleaner and the top screen is ... Read Full Review

Worms: Open Warfare 2

By thicknick | Review Date: Jun 22, 2008 | DS

Best multiplayer ever.

This game is a ton of fun. I've played this type of game on several occasions before. My friend used to have Worms: Armageddon or something like that and we had a good time with that but maybe only played a couple tim... Read Full Review

Yoshi's Island DS

By thicknick | Review Date: Jun 19, 2008 | DS

A solid game that dares not go far from its successful formula.

I like everything about this game that I liked about Yoshi's Island for the SNES. The only real difference is there are new babies all with different abilities. Mario can smash red M blocks, Peach can fly, DK can swing o... Read Full Review

Gekitou! Custom Robo

By thicknick | Review Date: Jun 19, 2008 | DS

One of the best DS RPG's, and certainly one of the most unique!

This game is the bastard child of Armored Core and Pokemon? Still not interested? The battles are full 3D mech fights with probably hundreds of different parts to customize your bot with. The story is about as cheezy ... Read Full Review

Bokujou Monogatari: Colobocle Station

By thicknick | Review Date: Jun 19, 2008 | DS

Why the hate, Gamespot? This is a GREAT game.

Gamespot, shame on you for your pathetic scoring of this solid game. It isn't particularly worse than any of the other games, even if it's a bit more buggy. Gamespot and IGN criticized the old-school graphics and sound, ... Read Full Review

Kawa no Nushi Tsuri: Komorebi no Tani, Seseragi no Uta

By thicknick | Review Date: Jun 19, 2008 | DS

NOT in the same vein as Harvest Moon, but a solid addicting time-waster, nonetheless. Recommended.

This game won't dominate your life the way Harvest Moon games do, and it is fundamentally different in so many ways that any comparisons between the two are pretty unrespectable. The only things they have in common is th... Read Full Review

Ultimate Mortal Kombat

By thicknick | Review Date: Jun 02, 2008 | DS

Awesome! ...but with a few complaints.

OK starting off the game is awesome. When you start playing, you'll notice UMK DS isn't just UMK3, it's also got Deception's Puzzle Kombat, which is a nice little bonus feature. It takes way too long to complete though, ... Read Full Review

Mortal Kombat: Armageddon

By thicknick | Review Date: May 17, 2008 | PS2

Packed to the brim with action and fun, but I have some critiques.

First of all, let me just say that I love the newer generation of MK games. I had just as much fun with Deadly Alliance, Deception, and Armageddon as I did with 1-4. The first thing you'll notice is that this game, wh... Read Full Review
