Review: The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker

In 1998 a masterpiece was released to the gaming public in the form of The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time and I highly doubt anyone remotely associated with the videogame industry thinks any less of the game. Ocarina of Time was a landmark achievement for Nintendo and the struggling Nintendo 64 which introduced us to the rich, layered

Review: NASCAR Racing 2003 Season

As I’m sure you have heard by now, NASCAR Racing 2003 Season will be Papyrus’ final NASCAR Racing game and I couldn’t be more excited, overjoyed, and disappointed at the same time than I am right now. I’m excited to have a chance to play the latest version in the long running series, I’m overjoyed that the game turned out

Review: Star Wars: The Clone Wars

There used to be a time when Star Trek games were the one’s getting the bad rap from reviewers and gamers alike for offering shallow gameplay, inconsistencies, and an overall beating of the cash cow, but things have changed over the last few years. Trek fans have had the chance to play excellent titles like Bridge Commander, Elite Force, and

Review: Resident Evil Zero

Resident Evil is the premiere third party franchise in the current video game market. Nothing, in my opinion, comes close to the story, intrigue, scares, and overall fun factor that you get from playing a Resident Evil game. There are a large number of games that jump out at you with an incredible story which brings you in and never

Review: NHL 2003

Recently I was asked to put together a list of what I felt where the top ten games of all time. The usually made my list, The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario 64, StarCraft, and one unlikely game snuck in at number eight, NHL 95 for the Sega Genesis. NHL 95 you ask, why the hell would that be considered

Review: Animal Crossing

There are times in a person’s life when they will experience a new kind of video game. Unlike any other they’ve seen before, and Animal Crossing just happens to be one of those games. Picture your life. You wake up, go to school or work, and slave the day away. When work and school is over, you go home, and

Review: Burnout 2: Point of Impact

Burnout 2: Point of Impact was a victim, or benefactor, of Acclaim’s new marketing strategy that found the publishers in a heap of trouble with government and media alike. Similar to their “name your baby Turok Campaign” which asked for the parents of a newly born baby to legally change their child’s name to Turok for a whole year, Burnout

Review: Political Tycoon

Most times you know from a game’s opening movie (if it has one) if the game will be any good. The same holds true with Political Tycoon (PT). We are introduced to that American President (with an uncanny resemblance to George W. Bush) and a Middle Eastern King whom you are meeting with to discuss the trading of American missiles.

Review: No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.S. Way

I can remember the days of the Total Entertainment Network (TEN) when me and a few of my buddies would log on to the free service and lay the smack down on each other in a variety of first person shooters including Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior, but there was one game that we kept coming back for more

Review: Worms Blast

Worms Blast could have any other name on the box and it would be the same game. Aside from the familiar cast of characters that we have seen through the entire Worms saga, there is nothing to relate this game with the series that bares the name. While it is commendable that Team17 is trying something new with its classic
