Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection2011

May 1, 2011

Brimming with brevity rarely experienced in other games in the genre and compelling characters whose leitmotifs touch the nostalgic chords in the hearts of fans that have celebrated this gem of a JRPG for nearly twenty years, FFIV is back and better than ever. FFIV made major technical and theatrical changes on the three previous titles that caused the game to stand out and define what Final Fantasy games would be…

TVDJ2000

Apr 15, 2010

Wow, this game is so bad that it's good! The game launched at a very budget price (something like 2000 Yen) for the PS2 with great looking cel-shaded graphics and voice acting. The game is very simple to learn and not very cerebral but the joy of this game comes from watching the bizarre story. In TVDJ you play as a producer/DJ that mixes segments of the show together to make one cohesive (haha, good luck!) take. If…

Final Fantasy XIII2010

Apr 6, 2010

You have a grandmother, everybody does. She's old and probably quite pleasant to be around. A lot of her old-timeyness is what gives her charm and even though she is often slow or tedious, she is very rewarding to be around (cookies, dinners, etc.) To me, Final Fantasy is like a Grandmother. Like every one of us, she started out as a child (FF1, FF2) and proved that she had a bright future in store for all of us.…

Killzone 22009

Feb 27, 2009

Okay, this game has lived up to the hype - graphics, music, action, controls, etc. On top of all of that good stuff, it doesn't have shitty load times or some bigass install for your HDD like many other titles. Killzone is a technical giant that rides your PS3 like Armstrong rides a bicycle. Whatever that meant; I actually cannot describe how positive my feelings are about the game. So what sucks about Killzone 2?…

Um Jammer Lammy is a rhythm based game that takes place in the PaRappa game series world and tells the story of an all girl pop rock band, Milk The game has very humorous music tracks, co-op gameplay, and a lot of unlockables to ensure many hours of gameplay.

Metroid: Zero Mission2004

Jul 23, 2008

Metroid: Zero Mission is a remake of the original game and a very good one at that. All of the original and newer bosses, weapons, levels, and that classic feeling of exploration made their way into this game. For what is it worth (probably $20 at your local Gamespot/EB) this game is amazing! Now, many people will tell you that the game is short; 3-5 hours the first time through. In fact, I will tell you, "Yeah, the…

Final Fantasy XI Online2002

Jul 23, 2008

FFXI Pros - Unique races, creative jobs, expansive zones, numerous quests, and has many expansions that allow for thousands of gameplay hours. FFXI Cons - Slow installation process, terrible economy, many jobs end up equipping identical "elite" gear, very dry end-game, boring and tedious experience grinding on repetitive monsters, quests are so uninformative you resort to online guides at all times, job classes are…

Resident Evil 42005

Jul 23, 2008

Resident Evil IV puts you back into the shoes of Leon "Don't shoot, I'm a human!" Kennedy and sweeps you off to Spain for a seriously nasty trip. Many times throughout this 20-25 hour adventure you'll be up against hordes of enemies, interactive life or death cutscenes, and hassle-free puzzles. So, you're probably thinking, "Damn, another Resident Evil game... it will have save rooms with boxes, limited carrying…

Early on in the game, characters and story unfolds as you go to the Millennium Fair; a kingdom-wide expo.

God of War II2007

Jul 23, 2008

The game can speak for itself, so I'll just drop a few highlights. 10. A true sequel - amazing story right where the first one leaves off. 9. Epic boss fights in both scale and skill required to win. 8. Great musical score and voice acting. 7. Almost triple the amount of button "mini-games" that end in some brutal kills - satisfaction guaranteed. 6. Sense of scale draws you into the mythological world. 5. Fast load…

Grand Theft Auto IV2008

Jul 23, 2008

Wow, what can I possibly say about GTAIV, which is the best game I've played in years, that other reviewers haven't already said. Ok, here's a bit of advice - go and buy this game now. Doesn't matter what console, whichever one you own or whichever controller you like - just buy it if you haven't already. Greatest GTA, one of the greatest games ever, and funnest game of 2008 by far. Also, this 360 version will have…

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots2008

Jul 23, 2008

Everything in this game is incredibly done; cinematics, gameplay, weapons, music, graphics, voice acting, boss fights, customization, multi-player, etc. If you own a PS3 you really should do yourself a favor and play this game. If you are a fan of the Metal Gear Solid series, you should get this game immediately. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Gear_Solid_4:_Guns_of_the_Patriots "Set in 2014, five years…

Gears of War2006

Jul 22, 2008

Every firefight in the game is an adrenaline and testosterone rush! You play as the mysterious Markus Phoenix and his best friend and combat comrade, Domingo - trying to make a difference in a lost world, conquered by a terrifying alien race. Challenging. Beautiful. Worth every penny. And although it's short, you'll play it like 5 times through and most likely become an addict of the online play. The game features a…

God of War

Jul 22, 2008

Tell the kids to close their eyes... It's time to murder, drink alcohol, have sex, and kill a god. Do you like these things? Well, you just might have to play God of War! God of War takes place in mythological Greece and you play as Kratos, an antihero of sorts who is a brutal and vicious general of the Spartan army. During Krato's lengthy and difficult adventure is full of save points, intelligent puzzles, and epic…

PaRappa the Rapper1996

Jul 22, 2008

Wow, I'll never forget the time that Parappa, our little beanie wearing dog rapper dude friend, made his way to the US. Parappa had a lot to offer, like a good rhythm based game suitable for all ages... and a level where Parappa has diarrhea and must rap battle with previous "rap masters" in order to determine who gets access to the toilet. This game is crazy, crazy good. With memorable songs and Rodney Alan…

Secret of Mana1993

Jul 22, 2008

Pros - You can play with a friend or two. Has great music and beautiful graphics. Cons - Can be a bit buggy at times and sprites will disappear if too many are on the screen at once. Do you remember that smell of a brand new SNES cartridge? Remember the feeling of peeling off the lamination or that troublesome price sticker? Well, I sure do, and these memories all take me back to Secret of Mana (Seiken Densetsu II),…

Super Metroid

Jul 22, 2008

From the start of the game, you are put into the action packed life of our leading woman, Samus Aran. Briefly, she educates you on past experiences of the Metroid franchise and thus sets the back story to this sci-fi adventure. After an awesome (by 1993 standards) self-destruction sequence and "orchestral synth beat" laden song, you are thrust upon the familiar planet Zebes. Here you will gain "power-ups" for Samus'…

Final Fantasy IV1991

Jul 22, 2008

Pros - The best original version of the game - has many added features and content. Cons - The music is slightly lower quality than the previous versions and cuts for sound effects. Imagine, if you will, that is the year 2032 and Final Fantasy 20 has just been released. It is an instant success and for many, it becomes the one and only true Final Fantasy game. Keep in mind that most of these people have never played…
