    Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 1: Launch of the Screaming Narwhal

    By zjohnsto | Review Date: Aug 03, 2009 | WII

    Abysmally bad sound spoils a funny, old school adventure.

    Monkey Island is a classic from way back when Lucas Arts cared about story as the graphics couldn't keep up. The stories from previous titles have been witty, have developed through the games, and never bore. Eagerl... Read Full Review

    Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2

    By zjohnsto | Review Date: Apr 25, 2007 | WII

    Engaging controls, and a great romp through the DB-Z universe.<br /> Best played standing up!!

    What a game! DB-Z has a huge history, and this game draws on all of it, creating a massive character base. Fans of the series will realise that every episode is over-the-top in action, reaction and dialogue, and all thi... Read Full Review

    Professor Layton and the Curious Village

    By zjohnsto | Review Date: Feb 12, 2008 | DS

    Beautifully presented, great combination of puzzle and story

    Not too many games strike me as 'beautiful', but this was immediatly appealing with its opening animation, quirky music, and clear dialogue. The puzzles begin quite simple but quickly show their teeth in a most innocent... Read Full Review

    Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken

    By zjohnsto | Review Date: Apr 17, 2006 | GBA

    Involving story, characters that mean something, and a simplicity of gameplay that never grows old

    Games found on the Gameboy can sometimes have a preconceived 'child-like' air about them. Maybe because of the platform, maybe because of the final appearence and their technical limitations compared to the console cousi... Read Full Review

    From the guitar point of view: plenty of customization, great content where it counts, best GH of the series.

    Guitar Hero World Tour

    By zjohnsto | Review Date: Nov 19, 2008 | WII

    From the guitar point of view: plenty of customization, great content where it counts, best GH of the series.

    From a purely 'guitar hero' point of view (ie. no drums and vocals), this game rocks, and rocks hard. The mapping is accurate for guitar and bass, the learning curve is gradual, from 'play in your sleep' (beginner) to '... Read Full Review
