Wolfenstein RPG: Guten Tag by kjell1979 Pros: fun, deep, tons of secrets, recycled graphics and sound
Cons: not entirely turn-based, kind of short, easy, censored, confusing controls The original Wolfenstein 3D shooter was one of my most favorite games growing up. Yes it was a horrifically violent game for that era, but it was fantastic. It definitely paved the way for more advanced shooters like Doom and Quake. So the irony isn't ...

BOO! Scared ya...didn't I? Yeah I did! Stop lying! That's it, I'm telling mommy! Waaaaaaaa...! by ChromeKiller Pros: Inventive puzzles and ache-free combat, Spirit Tracks is everything that Phantom Hourglass isn't.
Cons: Putting up with the screwy camera at times isn't horrible - it's just problematic. More than twenty years down the road you might find yourself questioning the integrity of a franchise. How many times has Mario clobbered King Koopa and all the way through his reshelled career as Bowser, ruler of the Koopa Kingdom? Does Donkey Kong ...

An engine without a game. by theragu40 Pros: Great graphics and interface, good controls.
Cons: Generic characters, story, and gameplay. Feels old the second you start playing. The Conduit for Wii is not a good game. Let's get that out of the way straight out of the gates. This is a game that generated considerable buzz, and unfortunately it falters under the pressure of high expectation. There are a few ...

Save yourself some money and buy one of these instead by HawgWyld Pros: Perfect replacement for Nintendo remote; cheaper than Nintendo controller
Cons: Wii Motion Plus may not work on early units (Wyko offers a free fix, though). The Nintendo Wii is -- let's face it -- one heck of a "party" console. Yes, people love to point out the shortcomings of the console, but this thing is just made for bring together folks of all ages for multiplayer fun.The problem, of course, is ...

Bust-A-Move 2 for PS1 - Bub and Bob puzzle it up! by captaind Pros: Great fun, good 2-player mode, easy to pick up but hard to master...
Cons: ... no 2-player co-op mode, gets a little samey after a while... I was slightly dubious about Bust-A-Move-2 for the PS1 initially, having been told by the person I bought the console off that it was her favourite game - she ...

Rocking out to the NEW Golden Oldies by jackiechad Pros:
some good songs, fun guitar-oriented gaming Cons: small song list, some really bad tunes, nothing new in gameplay Yes, I will admit it. I’m addicted to Guitar Hero. I’m not one of these people that is in danger of needing carpal tunnel surgery from playing too much, but I am on track to owning every title. Being such a fan and a child of the ...

Will Populous for Nintendo DS prove a worthy conversion to the handheld gaming console? by rgathright Pros: Faithful conversion
Cons: Fast pacing of game, poor controls, hard to read gaming interface Ever since the first release of this game on the IBM PC, I have been a fan of the Populous gaming lineup. The game is an interesting concept that truly puts you in full control with god like abilities over the non-player characters in the ...

Great but flawed by theragu40 Pros: Fantastic, engrossing gameplay. Good graphics and sound.
Cons: Buggy. Multiplayer is fundamentally broken. Borderlands is the kind of game that makes you wonder what could have been every time you boot it up to play. It is plagued with issues that just should not be in a AAA title from a major developer.Let me begin with the most glaring flaw, ...

Punch Out for Wii - it's not Wii Sports Boxing, but still lots of fun by ldon526 Pros: Fun, nice graphics, fun opponents, balance board compatible
Cons: punches controlled by remote buttons and controllers - not by physical punches I recently took out Punch Out for Wii from my library. This is a single or two-player boxing game. Playing Punch Out for Wii There are several remote options for Punch Out. You can hold the remote on its side to play with ...

A Welcome Blast From The Past by mickp Pros: Great graphics and sound. Very solid gameplay. A welcome return of an under-appreciated classic.
Cons: Combat can be somewhat clunky. Delay between turns on larger maps due to enemy movement. Recent months have seen a slew of extremely belated sequels, with follow-ups to games such as Majesty, King’s Bounty, and the Amiga-based Ports of Call all appearing to rekindle memories of some of my old favourites. Despite this, I ...

32-bit Fun with the Playstation One! by captaind Pros: Very cheap and relatively widely available second hand; great controllers; some classic titles
Cons: You have to search for the games; not always possible to pick and choose individual_titles You might be wondering just why it's worth someone reviewing the original PlayStation (known nowadays by the moniker "PS1") so many years after its release, and why anyone could possibly want to buy one when the technology is obsolete now. I will ...

New Super Mario Bros. Wii: - A Bright Star Shining Amidst a Barren Landscape by jeremy1456 Pros: Fantastic Gameplay, Great Difficulty Balance, Absolutely Amazing Level Design, Multiplayer, Charming Presentation
Cons: Somewhat Underwhelming Graphics, Forgettable Soundtrack The original New Super Mario Bros., released a few years back on Nintendo's handheld DS platform, was an experiment which may seem unfamiliar to Nintendo fans. Usually they reward their retro fans with mere ports - a brand new classic styled ...

So Roxas wasen't suppose to exist, his game still fun though by tommy_lop Pros: an intresting look at an important side charecter from the KH franchise
Cons: the way everything is set up is goofy I got KH 358/2 when it was first released and have played through it twice. I like the game series and I liked the characters, however KH 358/2 is definitely the most odd ball of the KH series when it comes to set up. For those of you who liked the ...

Wall-E for Nintendo Wii... not exactly out of this world by captaind Pros: Good basic game...
Cons: ... annoyingly repetitious sound effects and music, so-so unlockables Wall-E for the Nintendo Wii is the official game of the PIXAR movie. I've come to realise after playing several conversions of PIXAR movies that most end up being rather average platform games; just because the film is great, that doesn't ...

The good, the bad, and the ugly, Wii by firebird1 Pros: Plays retro games, Gamecube, Wiiware, etc. Internet access.
Cons: Pay for old games, no DVD or CD support, games expensive. Mom had been interested in getting a Wii for some time. She was a big fan of the Gamecube and other Nintendo products. I myself had mostly gotten a gamecube just to use the gameboy adapter to play Gameboy games on the TV. So I was a bit skeptical about ...

And the end arrives. A great closure to the Prime trilogy. by junior_ain Pros: Motion controls, great adventure.
Cons: Some gameplay aspects are simpler due to limitations on the Wii's controller. And the final installment of the Prime series comes! Right at the introduction you see what's coming, an epic and totally worthy Metroid game, the music and the introduction itself are great, they bring a thrilling felling right at the start, new ...

Cons: No biggies What can be said about an epic franchise like Grand Theft Auto? Ever since it's successful reinvention in 2001 on the PlayStation 2 with the third installment, it's become a strong franchise with its many offshoots like the 80s-era Vice City ...

Like Call Of Duty 4, but better by chrisell Pros: Great new elements to gameplay, new weapons, better sound and graphics than COD4.
Cons: Some multiplayer quirks still exist from COD4. Call Of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 (MW2) is obviously the latest offering from Infinity Ward in the long-running Call Of Duty franchise. Although this time they've gone away from a COD number and just called it Modern Warfare 2. In case you've been asleep ...

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Is One Of The Best FPSs Of All Time by dakreviews Pros: Customizeable Killstreaks/Deathstreaks; 2Player Special Ops Missions; Online Multiplayer; Upgraded Graphics (1080p); New Weapons/Gadgets/Attatchments; New Challenges
Cons: Short Single-Player Campaign; Online Multiplayer Takes Practice; To be fair to the game and those of you reading this, one overall review cannot suffice; it has to be broken down into 3 parts and each rated individually, so here we go. 1. Single Player Campaign 2. Special Operations Cooperative Challenges ...

C'mon Van Halen, Finish What Ya Started - Guitar Hero: Van Halen by awoolcott Pros: The Van Halen songs are good, some pretty good "guest act" tunes
Cons: A dismaying lack of Sammy Hagar-era Van Halen, some pretty bad "guest act" tunes It's been a long, strange journey for Guitar Hero: Van Halen. After being announced with little fanfare from Activision, the game was then buried into a corner of the Sony booth at E3 2009, like a shamed child sitting in the corner with a dunce hat on. ...
