This spin on a classic board game will be a delight to any family. I play this game with my children all of the time. Yes, it’s frustrating when you have to pay obscene amounts of play money when you land on a square, but by carefully purchasing …

I love games, especially racing ones. Mario Kart DS has got to be the biggest, most hyped up game ever for the DS. Everything else just pales in comparison to all the speculation, skepticism, and whatever else comes of waiting for the best kart racing game ever to come …

I’ve already talked about a game that destroys the Tiny Toons name, but today, I thought we would talk about a game that is actually awesome, and actually has to do with Tiny Toons. Ironically released for an older system, the SNES. Of course, I’m talking about the amazing, …

There are many different kinds of games. There are platformers, shooters, puzzlers, and many other kinds. but sometimes, there are games that are hard to define, either because they meld several genres into one, or because they try something that just doesn’t seem to fit into any genre. Team …

I hate sports games. Well, I hate realistic sports games anyway. I just don’t understand the appeal that they have to people. But, I enjoy older sports games because they tend to stretch the boundaries of what a person can do in any given situation. The game, Slalom, is …

An excellent product to say the least. It’s sleek cover is unmarked and leathery when it comes at first but sooner then later it is filled with scratches. Although this item has a take on the popular Nintendo DS and Nintendo DS Lite, It …

Does anyone even remember the movie Top Gun? No? Not surprising. It was a horrible movie, but for some reason, we were given a video game tie-in, which not only has very little in common with the movie, but it’s near impossible and boring as purgatory!
Story: 1/10
Like I said, …

Space shooter games have a history for being in one of the most frustrating and downright difficult genres to come up since the conception of video games. But what happens when you take out the difficulty, levels, and bosses and just put the player in a looping area with …

The Xbox 360, a console that is cheap,affordable, and simply fun to play with. Starting at 200 dollars the Xbox 360 is very affordable, but the ps3 is having a price drop so it might not be as cheaper as it was before. The Xbox 360s’ game list is …

For all you online and single player gaming fanatic’s this is the game for you, hitting the shelves on November 10 2009 this will be a game you should be adding to your Christmas list already. Although previous Call Of Duty games have raised from the dead giving us …

My two teenage sons have both recently become major fans of live action role-playing games (or LRPG for short). And though they appreciate the skill involved in playing these types of games in a board game or card game format, they are always looking for computer or game system …

High School Party is a mobile game from digital chocolate. First time I think about this game, I thought that its a game about party in the park or kind of youngsters party where we must follow the story to play the game, but after I install it and …

As I’ve stated in previous reviews, my husband and I put a great deal of focus on our family and game night with our two teenage boys (14 and 12 years of age). They get easily bored, especially with the typical board games such as Sorry or Life. And …

My husband and I value our “family night” with our two teenage boys. Since games like “Sorry” and “UNO” just aren’t that exciting to them anymore, we’re always looking for ways to spice up the time we spend together during these nights. Typical board games and card games just …

After the extreme success of the original Sonic Mega Collection, a huge collection of some of Sonic’s greatest greatest games from the Genesis era. Sonic Gems Collection, which is, in my opinion, hilariously mistitled, was another cash-in attempt on older Sonic titles, but this time it focuses on the …

Starfox started out as little more than a tech demo to show off the capabilities of the new FX chip installed in games. Still, it was one of the most popular shooters of the time. After a canceled sequel, Starfox 64 revolutionized the series and once again and becoming …

This game is from the publisher/developer of the Virtual Villagers game series, and is built around almost the same premise. The story goes like this: there are little people living inside your computer, and now you discover them and have a big house for them too, all inside your …

It’s usually a fact that licensed games royally suck. But it’s usually a big surprise when an obscure game with no relevance to pop culture of the time, or anything at all, sucks just as hard. Such is the case with our subject tonight,
Monster Party, a game so strange …

I love RPGS. I especially strategy RPGs. I love the tactics involved, I love the creative characters and the different abilities associated with each different class or character. I love building my own specific party to take down my opponents. Therefore, it’s pretty much a given that I am …

My my, what can I say about the Sims? I’m not really that big a fan of creat-your-own civilization games, so I never got into the series that much. But, after coming across this game in a bargain bin, I decided on a whim to buy it. I was …

In a time when only Japan was really interested in RPG’s, Dragon Quest, or Dragon Warrior as it’s known in America, is one of the few RPG’s of the time to see an international release. While it didn’t sell too well initially, it’s looked at today as a classic, …

The Tale of Genji, written some time during the 1700’s, is widely considered to be the world’s first full-length novel. It was a pretty hefty story as well, rambling on about the characters and Japan in general. It’s not really a contemporary novel, and it’s hard for a modern …

Mario’s been an icon of gaming ever since the early and mid eighties, when Nintendo first established themselves as the monolith of gaming that they are today. Mario’s been in almost every roll imaginable ever since his first starring role in Donkey Kong, where he played a carpenter named …

As I have stated before, I love strategy RPGs. However, when first introduced to the Disgaea series, put out by Nippon Ichi Software, I was apprehensive because I usually find that strategy RPGs don’t really measure up to the Fire Emblem games. I’m glad to say that Disgaea surpasses …

Well, after Cooking Mama and Cooking Mama 2, I decided, hey, why not try something new? So I tried out Gardening Mama, borrowed courtesy of a friend. It seemed fine at first, although a little repetitive. What’s next? Laundry Mama? Vacuuming Mama? Washing Dishes Mama? Take out the Trash …

Being a huge Sims fan, I decided to try out one of the MySims game that came out on the DS. The cheapest one, I’ve got to admit, was MySims Party DS so I picked that one. It was pretty much a kids game, but I knew that and …

As you may know, the Nintendo Wii is the most successful and popular video game system this generation, constantly outselling the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 month after month. But everything that glitters isn’t gold, and the Wii in my opinion is a clear example of this. I had …

It has been a great many years since I have played racing games with any kind of passion. Racing games seem to have been homogenized, and dumbed down so far that only the most braindead of people could gain any enjoyment from them. Burnout Paradise is a glorious exception …

It seems like, in the gaming industry, games have started to drift away from the action adventure feel that had been a mainstay in the past. Well, I am very happy to say that Uncharted bucks this trend, and reminds me of the days when a good action adventure …

Ever since its release in 2005, the Xbox 360 has been a highly successful and popular gaming system. I’v owned my Xbox 360 for about a year now, and I have mixed emotions about it. While I love many things about my Xbox, there are also many things that …

Back in the early nineties, a short-lived show entitled Bucky O’Hare. The show attempted to take place of the popularity of strange science fiction shows and children shows featuring talking animals. It was a pretty epic show, which followed a space captain named Bucky O’Hare, who’s galaxy is overtaken …

Bomberman, like many classic video game characters, has become something of an icon among gamers, possessing a severely simple, but extremely fun series of games, all of them following the same format, with a few minor tweaks, and one or two major deviations, such as Bomberman Hero. In fact, …

I love the Tiny Toons. At first, I thought it was just going to be a baby-version of the Looney Tunes, but to my everlasting surprise, it was actually more like an updated version of them. They were just as funny, clever, and witty as the 1940’s, 50’s and …

I have not purchased many downloadable games, mostly because the games that find their way onto the Xbox Live Arcade are short, and usually dont provide more than a few hours of entertainment before I forget about it. This is not at all the case with Shadow Complex, and …

Recently, I have gone against my better judgement, and purchased a few downloadable games. For the most part, I think that downloadable games are too short, not as fleshed out as they should be, and just dont offer as much entertainment as they should considering the money you spend …

There has always been a debate regarding wether or not games will ever be considered art, and while many would say that a great many games are, most every gamer on Earth agrees that Ico is the prime example of games as art. I loved this game, through and …

I have a love for the third person shooter genre, and normally i try to pick up every game that uses these kinds of controls, but lately, the vast majority of these kinds of games have been just flat out awful. Well, I was happy to find out that …

While I have never been a big puzzle game fan, I decided to pick up Every Extend Extra because it was in the bargain bin. The game looks and sounds very nice, but the gameplay itself is frustrating and less than exciting. I have played through it out of …

Rayman has always been a pretty strange series. Getting his start out on the ill-fated Atari Jaguar, the original game, entitled Rayman, was ported to more popular and (let’s face it) better game consoles, like the Sega Saturn and the Playstation. The game, about a limbless character who saves …

I enjoy board games, and the other night I tried Stone Age (a game by Rio Grande Games). It’s actually quite enjoyable - it feels a little more complicated than your standard board game because there are so many options each turn and it takes quite a while …

The Tales series is an immensely popular series in Japan, and has been since the beginning of the new millennium. But were here in the states are just recently starting to receive a huge backwash of games from the Tales library. Ironically, one of the first games we received …

We have a few Wii games, and one of the ones we had been wanting was MarioKart. It seemed like so much fun!
Well, we finally were given it as a gift, and it is fun. A lot of the game itself will be very familiar to anyone who has …

In this game we play as Anthony Edward Stark a.k.a. Tony Stark, the mighty Iron Man. A bit different from its original movie, I should say. We will meet Iron Monger (Obadiah Stane), and there are additional characters we don’t see in the movie, like Whiplash and The Melter. …

I’ve been a huge fan of fighting games since as long as I can remember. From the days of the great arcade classics like Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter, to today’s titles. I also love combat sports. So when I heard that THQ was making a UFC game, I …

With the popularity of Sonic Adventure 2, we were introduced to Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic’s Antithesis and one of the biggest badasses ever. After having him appear as a minor character in a few more games, SEGA decided to try and expand on Shadow’s mysterious past… by giving him …

Back when the Nintendo DS was first released, everyone was wondering just how the touch screen feature would be utilized. The most obvious was first introduced to us as a launch title: Feel the Magic, XX/XY is a collection of minigames with a dating game facade on the front. …

Mario is the most recognizable icons in gaming. This isn’t just because he’s one of the first to help revolutionize the industry and help to put Nintendo on the map. Another reason is the fact that he has been featured in so many different games. Platformers, educational games, racing …

Sonic’s console games have been very lackluster as of late, ranging from the virtually unplayable to the decidedly average. But, the same is not true of his handheld ventures, all of which remind us of why we loved the speedy blue hedgehog in the first place. The sonic advanced …

“Evony: Age 1” is an online gaming community like no other. I compared my initial experience to a “sim-city” like environment but soon found that it was much much more. The setting is in midievel times and your city starts out as a small village. You are initially provided …

Back in the 90’s, Disney came out with a new show that cashed in on some of their more famous characters, and continued their tradition of putting anthropomorphic ducks in the starring role of these shows. The show was a great success, thanks mostly to the use of Uncle …
