The Next-Gen is upon us, and here's actually a game worth getting shot over!

Sat, 18 Nov 2006 14:00:24 -0500

So you camped out at Best Buy (literally) for 4 days and were 6th in line for a PS3... 5th after the guy in front of you had to go to the ER with a gunshot wound to the arm. Or maybe you were in line at Wal-Mart for 3 days and were fast enough/strong enough (and glad you brought that baseball bat...) when told the first 10 people to run to the electronics section would get a PS3. Whatever the case, you got one and you'll be damned if mind-exploding-WTF-level prices on eBay will make you part with it. So... now what. I'll tell you.

Battlefield 2: Special Forces (PC)

Thu, 24 Nov 2005 07:38:21 -0500

Say what you will about GameStop, but they got BF2: Special Forces to me in 3 days complete with a free t-shirt (spawncamp THIS). With free shipping it was 'only' $30, which seems high for an expansion when that's about what I paid for Battlefield 2 itself. But so far it seems worth the purchase.

There are several new additions: 8 new maps, 6 sides to play as (who doesn't love British accents?), new vehicles (civilian cars, jet skis, attack choppers...), tear gas (and gas masks), night vision goggles, flash bangs, grappling hooks to scale buildings, and then ziplines to repell down buildings. Only certain kits get the gas, flashes, hooks, and ziplines though. Each character kit also has a new weapon you can unlock. But those aren't even the biggest change.

Resident Evil: 4 vs. All

Mon, 17 Jan 2005 15:05:30 -0500

"Several years have passed since the destruction of Raccoon City. Leon is now facing his ultimate challenge. A mysterious village. Creatures that defy nature. Are they human... or... ?" Thus begins the greatest Resident Evil yet.

Zelda: The Minish Cap (GBA)

Sun, 02 Jan 2005 10:53:09 -0500

Got a spankin' new Nintendo DS and nothing to play? Don't forget its best feature: it plays GBA games! How does this Capcom developed Legend of Zelda stack-up against previous Zelda games? I don't know. This is just a preview.

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes - Impressions (GC)

Mon, 22 Nov 2004 05:36:30 -0500

Two years ago Nintendo resurrected the Metroid franchise with plenty of controversy. A first person Metroid? Blasphemy! But it didn't take long to see that Retro knew what it was doing. Is Echoes just as prime for greatness?

Paper Mario 2: The Thousand-Year Door (GC)

Wed, 20 Oct 2004 02:13:05 -0400

The original Paper Mario was often overlooked during N64's last days. Hopefully the same won't be said of Paper Mario 2, or the GameCube. Based on initial impressions; Nintendo fans, RPG fans, and adventure game fans alike would do well to play this game.

The Prodigy - Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned

Fri, 17 Sep 2004 16:59:49 -0400

After only a 7 year wait, The Prodigy's long awaited follow-up CD to 1997's "The Fat of the Land" has arrived, and this baby's got a temper! But does anyone even care if they are always outnumbered, never outgunned?

Presidents of the United States of America: Love Everybody

Fri, 27 Aug 2004 16:54:13 -0400

Beastie Boys: To the 5 Boroughs (CD)

Fri, 18 Jun 2004 12:11:00 -0400

After a long six-year wait, the Beastie Boys are coming home. So let's check it out and see what's it all about. And just in case you forgot, yes they do hail from New York City and its five buroughs.

Resident Evil: Outbreak

Thu, 15 Apr 2004 13:39:41 -0400

Braaaaains!! If the sound of that wets your gaming buds, then you are either a fan of all things zombies or have become a zombie yourself. For the latter try Capcom's new Resident Evil: Outbreak

XIII (Gamecube) - Impressions

TorkWORLD updates! Wait... it's not April 1st yet. What in sam's [heck] is going on here. Did Tork enjoy a game so much it caused him to do the unthinkable? A XIII review for, gasp, NBrid?! Find out inside.

Phantasy Star Online Episode III - Impressions

Mon, 08 Mar 2004 18:15:23 -0500

It's a C.A.R.D. Revolution, baby! Like many, I ignored this card-battling game when it was first announced for GameCube back at E3. Yet here I sit, with the game in my possession. Even stranger, I actually like this tactics based game.

Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Review

Sun, 15 Feb 2004 23:06:51 -0500

Nintendo and Square have made peace, but is it for the good of all mankind?

Themes of Love and Hate in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

Mon, 01 Dec 2003 16:21:19 -0500

The game we have been waiting for since GameCube first launched is upon us! Mario Kart 64: The Double Dash Edition, err Mario Kart: Double Dash!! But was it worth that wait? It's hard to say...
