Kevlog and the Bandit....I can finally drive a big rig! by kevlog Pros: Nice graphics for the money.
Cons: Control of the steering isn't as great as with real steering wheel. Sometimes, after a long day sitting at my desk job in corporate America, I feel the need to head out onto the open road. Of course the wife and kids and responsibilities of my home life (somebody has to take out the trash) usually keep me from doing ...

A Review of Sonic CD by BaronSamedi3 Pros: It's fast!
Cons: Doesn't live up to its own hype. Note: This is a review of Sonic CD and Sonic CD ONLY. Epinions is crap. When I searched for Sonic CD, it actually did come up with a link, but that link was strictly to Amazon, where I could compare prices. For whatever dumb reason, Epinions won't let me ...

Quantum of Solace can it stand the test of time? by rpgaddict Pros: Challenging game and effective cover from fire.
Cons: Lacking much of what I liked from previous Bond games. If you liked the cool gadgets like the Q spider, laser watch, briefcase turret, and so forth from previous Bond games. Also if you liked the cool cars with the cool gadgets and multiplayer mode Quantum of Solace may not be for you. Maybe ...

Trapped in Time by onionhead2001 Pros: Long quest, for those inclined. Fun "VATS" combat system. Solid RPG elements.
Cons: Horrible character graphics and voice acting. Tedious quest structure. Crippling bugs. Maybe I'm just missing something. Now, really... don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this game. I did. I spent 50 hours exploring the nuclear wasteland that was once Washington DC, and I consdier this to be a decent addition to ...

From Cult to Mainstream - The "Modernization" of a Classic. by mickp Pros: Lovely graphics, excellent sound. A nice voice acting cast. Decent enough game.
Cons: Making a completely different game and attaching themes and objects doesn't make a Fallout sequel. Anticipation turns to trepidation:Fallout 3 would have to be one of the top ten games I have "most anticipated" in my lifetime. For better than a decade the previous entries in the series kept me coming back. Technically superior games ...

Things that make you go BOOM - Gears of War by Rock_On Pros: Fast action, active reload, interesting weapons, cooperative play
Cons: Cover controls has some bugs, campaign incredibly short With the excitement and major hype surrounding the release of Gears of War 2, the few people left that hadn't played its 2006 Game of the Year predecessor were left wondering what was so great about it. A lot along the lines of the success that ...

High Adventure Awaits in Azeroth's Frozen North by mickp Pros: Tweaked graphics, gorgeous areas, fun quests. Wonderful new features and rich storytelling.

wUqBxL1Ls),
gamer humour site purepwnage.com features lyrics proclaiming World of Warcraft to be “The best game (they) ever played”. ...

Vacation Mario by BaronSamedi3 Pros: Despite all the water, few actual water levels
Cons: The feeling of intentional sadism you'll get after repeatedly failing sometimes Poor Mario! He just can't seem to escape trouble, even when he flees his home in the Mushroom Kingdom for a much-deserved holiday at the beautiful resort of Isle Delfino. As Mario, Peach, and an army of Toads large enough to take over Belgium fly toward ...

Run Faith, Run. by chrisell Pros: Wide-open game areas, clever story, great graphics and sound. First of a kind.
Cons: Clumsy fight mechanics. Style is different enough that some gamers might not take to it. Mirror's Edge is an unique game, and I like unique games. It's always difficult for publishers to come up with a new idea and make it into a game that works, but with Mirror's Edge, EA / Dice seem to have managed it.The basic premise is simple - ...

"Uwee-hee-hee, good, good, burn them all to a crisp!" by thewisefool Pros: The GBA port of the classic RPG has all the elements making this game great.
Cons: Cons for Final Fantasy VI are so minuscule they aren't worth mentioning here. Many Americans were introduced to RPG video games by way of Final Fantasy VII in 1997, but for a significant portion of gamers of similar age, the first excitement of the Final Fantasy series (and RPGs in general) actually came from either ...

Me Braid Runnah! by booknerd85 Pros: The graphics are still stunning. Immersive, film-accurate settings. Some interesting plot elements.
Cons: There's not much "game" here, and what's here is often simplistic and unnecessarily frustrating. Los Angeles, November 2019. A glorious utopia where global warming*, traffic congestion**, housing and labor shortages***, hunger****, drought*****, and brownouts******, are all a thing of the past. You're Ray McCoy, a rookie cop who owns a flying car, ...

Geared Toward Kids, But I Like It Too!: I Spy: Fun House for DS by moonsista Pros: All ten games are fun; for all ages; neat carnival theme; easy to learn; colorful
Cons: No multi-player ability; most adults will not find it "deep" enough Since I got my Nintendo DS, I've been collecting an ever-growing library of DS games. I now have well over 40 games. I don't like fighting or racing games or anything that is aimed right at children, like children's movie-themed ...

A "T" rating? Why so serious? by bigtruckseries Pros: Test your Might and Freefall Kombat
Cons: Recycled Mortal Kombat feels incomplete. "T" rating? WTF? When I heard that the first Mortal Kombat game on the Xbox360/PS3 was going to consist of Mortal Kombat’s character fighting against the characters of DC comics, I thought it was a joke. Honestly, I’ve never been a major fan of DC comics ...

It's a fine game, but can't upstage the original by livewire_13 Pros: It's Devil May Cry!, awesome graphics and sound

While I doubt my opinions will change, I reserve the right to edit them later.Devil May Cry 4 is a work of art and an overall solid game. Unfortunately, it's simply not as good as the ...

A classic franchise receives a resurrection and a facelift. by bloolight Pros: Strong backstory, dark humor, well designed morality system.
Cons: Can drag during combat, too many fatal crashes. There are a lot of reasons why the Fallout franchise commands such a devoted following among gamers. The original title was a gripping RPG built upon the venerable Baldur's Gate engine. It combined a tightly written backstory with a ...

EA Games come back with one more "The Lord Of The Rings" video game for the Xbox following the movie trilogy by Peter Jackson based on the excellent novels by J.R.R Tolkien. This game focuses purley on the last movie The Lord Of The ...

Take The Future For A Spin - Gran Turismo 5 Prologue by awoolcott Pros: A great appetizer before the main course
Cons: The main course is coming...who really knows Gran Turismo games are something to savor: they come around so infrequently that one must enjoy it as long as possible. There was four years between Gran Turismo 3 and 4, and we're coming up on four years since the release of that fourth game. ...
