I waited for that game to come out with mucho anticipation. I thought for sure that this game was going to be the roleplaying game of all roleplaying games. Unfortunately, what…

DS Review: Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution
Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution on the DS is a game, or is it? Calling it a game sounds almost like an insult.Way back in the early 1990’s I was first bitten by the Civilization bug. Back then it was the original version of the game on Windows 3.11. No, I did not start with the…
Wii Review: Alone in the Dark
Before the Wii version of alone in the Dark (Atari) was released I watched a lot of pre-release videos and was generally stoked to see this game come out. I have since acquired a copy of the Wii (and 360) version of the game and spent some time playing it. I’d like to say that…
DS Review: Age of Empires: The Age of Kings
In 2006 Majesco Entertainment released a version of Age of Empires for the DS. In the process of porting the game from the PC it moved from an RTS game to a turn-based game. I have to say that this was a very good move. As much as I like the idea behind RTS games…

Gaming From The Past: Might and Magic
In 1986 New World Computing published the first game in the Might and Magic series: Might and Magic Book One: The Secret of the Inner Sanctum. The original Apple II version of the game was written almost single-handedly by Jon Van Caneghem over three years. After hooking up with Activision for distribution the game was…
Devil May Cry 4
This being the first Devil May Cry game that I’ve ever played before (shocking, I know), I feel that my disappointment with the game must mostly be the result of my lack of experience with the franchise, although upon further reflection I suspect otherwise. Let’s begin at the beginning, and focus on the game before…
GTA IV Has Nothin on THQ’s Nickelodeon Game Line
Yeah, yeah, yeah… I read the news about Grand Theft Auto IV breaking half a billion dollar in sales in its first week on sale. Those are some very impressive numbers, very impressive, but they got nothing on THQ’s numbers.THQ’s longstanding partnership with Nickelodeon has resulted in sales of more than $1 billion and accounted…
