Right. You finally...

Pros: Captivating story, original effects, genuinely fun to play
Cons: Some minor technical issues

It's no secret that Nintendo's been trying to shake its "kiddy" image for a while now. In general, most of their first-party N64 titles, as well as Gamecube titles to date, had been dismissed by some as cutesy games aimed at the younger set with little...

Pros: Original gameplay concepts and great sound features.
Cons: Where's the scares, Nintendo?

Evil. It stares you in the face. It makes you squirm, wriggling away, screaming for help - and searching for the quickest route out of your demise. You may be able to run, but evil will always follow you and bend your fears into its own twisted vision. ...

Pros: Amazing, epic story, spectacular sound and voice acting.

Pros: Challenging puzzles and great story
Cons: Sometimes it's tough to fall asleep after playing!

I have not been playing very many games for the last month or so because quite simply, there haven't been very many interesting games to play. I have a GC- and that's it (at least for the next gen systems). Bomberman? Didn't interest me. RE (Resident...

Pros: Immersive insanity effect, great storyline, fun game play, decent graphics, intuitive controls, inexpensive
Cons: The need to run around to recharge mana, some boss battles too long, misbalanced audio

I enjoy being festive. Every September, as fall approaches, I start planning for the holidays ahead. My husband and I recently moved the more creepy titles on our Netflix queue up to the top. We have been planning apple and pumpkin-picking trips. I baked ...

Pros: great battle system, nice eerie music/sounds, awesome insanity effects
Cons: The "magic" system takes a little getting used to.

Let's face it. Nintendo's GameCube hasn't had the best streak with games since it's release in November of 2001. It's been, what, 9 months, and what does Nintendo have to show off their collection of games? The only AAA titles may involve a bunch of...

Pros: Gameplay, story, length,variety of spells
Cons: some difficult puzzles,spell system(sometimes),spooky(A good thing right?)....

There are many references to darkness in our everyday lives. It can be regarded as evil or of something of substance full of power. In Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem gives the player an opportunity to experience darkness as never before. The ...

Pros: So good it should have been the launch title for Nintendo.
Cons: Dark. Very, very dark.

I'll start by telling you that Eternal Darkness should have been the killer app' for the GameCube launch. Not a super-happy-fun-fun-joy-joy game. Nintendo don't seem to realise that not every gamer in the world is a 5 year old Japanese kid who enjoys...

Pros: A great game to have, espcially for you Resident Evil nuts.
Cons: The targeting system could have used a little more work.

Nintendo newest foray into the area of Mature rated games drives the final nail into the coffin in the argument that all Nintendo games are “kiddy and immature.” This game is not only visually stunning, but could have you questioning your own sanity....
