When I say Nintendo, what comes to mind? Goofy action adventure games, big on character and amusement, yeah? Perhaps Mario, Donkey Kong, or Pokemon? Okay, what about when I say weird Japanese games? Katamari Damacy, Mister Mosquito, Mad Maestro, Gitaroo Man? Okay, so when I say to [...]

Mario Party is quickly becoming Nintendo’s version of Madden. Every year, right before Christmas, we end up with a new Mario Party hitting store shelves just begging for us to spend another $50 on it.

Some of you may remember that I reviewed Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones for the GBA back in early June. Some of you may also remember that I thoroughly enjoyed it, raved about it, and then gave it an 8.0. [...]

Review: Animaniacs: The Great Edgar Hunt (GC)
Developer: Warthog
Distributor: Ignition Entertainment
Genre: Platformer

It’s time for Animaniacs
And we’re zany to the max

Well, here we go again… I was disappointed with Warthog and Ignition Entertainment’s first foray into the world of the Animaniacs when I [...]

Can you believe it’s actually been ten years since Pokemon first came out? In a mere decade, this turn based RPG filled with cock fighting seizure monsters has became the best selling game franchise of all time. It’s even replaced Mario as Nintendo’s overall cash cow, [...]

Game: Sonic Gems Collection
System: Nintendo GameCube
Genre: Compilation
Developer: Sonic Team
Publisher: Sega
Released: 8/16/05
The Sonic The Hedgehog history is a rich and deep one, spanning almost fifteen years now. He’s made appearances on a multitude of systems, including each and every one of Sega’s machines, as well has two arcade games. Of course now I find it ironic [...]

WWE Day of Reckoning
Genre: Wrestling
Developer: Yukes
Publisher: THQ
Release Date: 08/29/05
As you might imagine, this was not a game I planned to review. After the horrible disaster that was WM XXI for the XBOX, I was very pessimistic about picking up another WWE wrestling game ever. WMXXI not only received the lowest rating I’ve ever given a [...]

Review: Geist (GC)
Developer: n-Space
Distributor: Nintendo
Genre: First Person Shooter
Release Date: 8/15/05
Ah, we once again return to the first person shooter. To say that FPS’s have been a staple of both console and computer gaming for years is an understatement. Ever since the days of Wolfenstein 3D and Doom, FPS’s have been released in [...]

Rating: T (Teen)
Publisher: Ubi-Soft
Release Date: 03/22/2005
Some people might shy away from reviewing a game like TMNT: Mutant Melee if they were in my position. I have certain loyalties to 4Kids but on this occasion, I was NOT afforded a free copy of this game, I instead decided to pick [...]

Games: Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat
System: Nintendo GameCube
Genre: Action/Platform
Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo
Release: 3/14/05
Back when Donkey Konga was first announced to the public, it was quite interesting. A music game featuring bongos? Well, it worked for Namco\’s Taiko No Tatsujin, so why not repeat it with a jungle theme? And the game was pretty good when all was [...]

FIFA Street
Platform: PS2, X-Box, GC
Developer: EA Big
Publisher: Electronic Arts

I consider myself a bit of a connoisseur of sports that nobody cares about. I set my sleeping schedule every two years for the Olympic sports that no one regularly cares about. Professional table tennis is unbelievably cool. I live for curling, you know, the thing [...]

Genre: Party
Platform: Gamecube
Rating: Everyone
Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Hudson Soft
Like every other year over the past 6 years Mario decides to hold yet another Party. In fact it was a year ago when I sent in a submission review to the 411games section that would eventually move over to insidepulse, so this more than just a review [...]

It’s funny. Ten months ago, I reviewed the first collection of MAT. That review can be found right here. It was an amazing collection and quite possibly the best compilation ever released up until that point. So of course Midway realized there was a lot of money to be made in releasing a second [...]

Second Sight (PS2, XB, GC)
Genre: Action-Adventure
Developer: Free Radical
Publisher: Codemasters
Release Date: 9/22/04
It’s interesting to hear a lot of the comparisons between Second Sight and another game that came out a few months ago called Psi-Ops, which I also reviewed. Both feature a main character suffering from Amnesia that happens to have a vast array of psychic [...]

Before I even bother getting down and writing the rest of the review let\’s just get the real question out of the way:
Is this game better than No Mercy? No.
As much as I enjoyed and still like to occasionally play No Mercy, I\’m really sick [...]
