Jeep Thrills? Not by criteeker Pros: cool Jeeps to drive, gorgeous race locations
Cons: horrible and repetitve gameplay, slow and unresponsive vehicles I enjoy the Wii's interaction factor and I am a huge Jeep hobbyist. That said, I really wanted this game to be stellar. Man, what a let down. To say that this game lacks in most areas would be an understatement. Right before the ...

Buy Some Boxing Gloves and Box Your Shadow by criteeker Pros: you'll get an okay workout - better when playing 2-player, animated bikini babes are nice
Cons: slow response to motion, much more difficult when boxing a computer opponent Ah yes, Shadow Boxing. That was part of a boxer's training routine back in the old days - long before video games. After playing this game, I think purchasing some boxing gloves and engaging in some "Shadow Boxing" would be a better and more ...

Saturday Night Lights by conquest23 Pros: Nice visuals, good sense of school sprit, great fun to play with friends
Cons: Occasionally shoddy AI, poor crowd reactions As a long time football fan and Madden gamer, I recognize that for quite some time NCAA Football really just served as a “Madden” for people who enjoyed college football. While I don’t purchase NCAA every year like I do with Madden, ...

The Diabolical DS by disinclined Pros: An excellent sequel to the delightful "Curious Village."
Cons: Can feel like more of the same if you've just beaten the first title. After being completely charmed by “Professor Layton and the Curious Village” for my DS Lite a couple of months ago, I knew that I couldn’t resist the sequel, “Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box,” especially when I heard ...

Long Enough to Defeat Your Spirit by dmarusz Pros: Good action and inventory. Long, if you like long.
Cons: Save and spawn system needs to be re-addressed. Too linear. This game probably provokes more thoughts out of me than any other game in the past. So, instead of breaking this out in a long essay, I'll chop it into non-traditional pieces. (Side note: If you read my reviews before, you know that I'm not ...

"Dang! I think that they sold me the wrong batch of 'Crack.' No, chair-that-wants-to-eat-me...HEEL!" by ChromeKiller Pros: Time is never time at all...you can never ever leave the store...without buying this game.
Cons: And your life'll never change...for-the-better without the game...the more you'll play the better you'll feel. Crashing in on the Naughty Dog's Bandicoot-driven fuel in the in-between time that the original PlayStation was finding its footing in the gaming industry, Insomniac woke up gamers with a purple dragon named Spyro who burned a whole lot of love into the ...

Catan: Settle Down! by kjell1979 Pros: hot seat mode, decent graphics and sound, pretty good AI, decent zoom controls
Cons: no online multiplayer, no expansions or scenarios, some control issues I'm a big fan of the Settlers of Catan board game. It's quite an engaging game that has elements of luck and skill but can also be completed in a short amount of time. As my kids get older they also are beginning to grow past the and Trouble games and ...

Wii Sports Resort: Fun and Games on Vacation by criteeker Pros: Wide variety of games for the whole family
Cons: a couple games get old fast, not too great for single players Recently I purchased Wii Sports Resort on Amazon bundled with TWO Wii Motion Plus controllers for $56.99. Costco (as well as most other retailers) sells this game pack with ONE Wii Plus controller for $48 or more. Since the Motion Plus ...

Like Sand Through the Hourglass, So Are the Days of Link’s Life by tgahr3 Pros: Delivers the Zelda formula without feeling formulaic. Vast technical improvement over previous handheld Zeldas.
Cons: Throwaway story, few "wow"-level innovations. Despite early concerns over the cartoonish visual style, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker was pretty much a sure thing. Everyone's favorite green-tunic-wearing hero... with pirates? That stuff practically programs ...

I'm On My Way To Find The Vau...Ooooh, Shiny Loot - Borderlands by awoolcott Pros: RPG/FPS hybrid = win!
Cons: The story doesn't live up to its potential Gearbox Software is known for two things – porting popular games to other formats, as the PS2 version of Half-Life and PC version of Halo can attest, and their World War II franchise Brothers in Arms. So a loot-driven RPG/FPS hybrid taking place in a ...

Spikey's Bounce Around: Bounce! Bounce! Bounce Around! by kjell1979 Pros: tricky puzzles, simple controls, diverse levels
Cons: limited replay value, only one mode of play Spikey's Bounce Around was the third game out of the three free games available the other weekend from Donut Games. Out of the three, my first impression was that this one was going to be the worst out of the three. In the end I warmed up quite a bit to ...

Cons: few gameplay dynamics, not much replay value, no online scoreboards The other weekend Donut Games had a sale of three different titles. Rat On The Run was one of the titles they offered for free. After looking at some of the gameplay videos the game looked pretty polished and fun so I picked it up. I'm glad that it was ...

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years: - From Here the Future Looks Bright to Me by jeremy1456 Pros: Chapter Feature is Interesting, Great Battle System, Great Story, Perfect Difficulty
Cons: Questionable Aesthetic Changes, New Characters are Mostly Lame It's no secret; Final Fantasy IV (originally released as Final Fantasy II in the US) is my favorite game of all time. It's the one game I've played through in excess of thirty times from start to finish and I still boot it up on an annual basis. The ...

No Time For Love, Mr. Drake - Uncharted 2: Among Thieves by awoolcott Pros: It's like they took the first Uncharted and dialed it up to infinity
Cons: The campaign ends, a few cheap deaths Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is, two years later, still considered one of the best PlayStation 3 games around, thanks to fantastic visuals, solid third-person shooter gameplay, and a great new character in the titular Nathan Drake. However, it had its ...

It was better when I was a kid by xenoranger Pros: Cheaper than buying an SNES then finding Street Fighter
Cons: SF2 - Barely Playable SF3 - Confusing system SF Movie - Severely cut I can't say I've been a Street Fighter fan since the beginning, but I did enjoy Street Fighter II: THe World Warrior in my youth. Capcom does their best to bring back this experience and more in the Street Fighter Anniversary collection. First, ...

The wildest ride on your PS2 by xenoranger Pros: Living World Cities
Music Extremely Fun Cons: Crazy Box Let me start by saying this game is FUN. If you're not convinced, keep reading. The concept is that you are a cabbie. You must pick up customers and drop them off at their destinations. The catch is that the normal rules of the road don't apply. Zipping ...

Many titles that were normally 99 cents were available for free. Lucky Coins was one of the games involved with this sale. Lucky Coins is a lot like a complicated version of Plinko from ...
