No reason to pick this one up, but it shows potential.
(X360)
Dance Dance Revolution is a long-running series, over a decade old now. Console versions have been consistently released since the days of the PlayStation under many different titles such as EXTREME, SuperNOVA and various Disney editions. DDR has manifested itself on the Xbox 360 as DDR UNIVERSE, ...

A Filthy Classic
(DS)
The earlier, “classic” Resident Evil games often get brushed off in the post-RE4 world. After all, it’s kind of difficult to go from quick-paced, guns ablazin’, over the shoulder action to a world of admittedly terrible voice acting, ammo conservation and much more apparent straight lines. Resident Evil Deadly Silence ...

Simple, spirited, spectacular.
(X360)
Following in the footsteps of Brave Fencer Musashi and Zone of the Enders, Crackdown was originally coupled with an access code to a Halo 3 multiplayer “beta” to bolster its sales. Despite being a blast, the game stumbled into discount territory soon after its release. Though similar games have been ...

Not "heartilly" recommended, but it gets a pass.
(PS1)
After Final Fantasy VII was released, Final Fantasy became vastly more popular in the western world. The eighth game, while similar in mechanics to the seventh and countless other Japanese RPGs, attempts to differ heavily in tone and story. In doing so it becomes at least a memorable experience, ...

Its adequacy is unquestionable, but its originality is not.
(X360)
Over the past few years, Namco has consistently released games in the Tales series. Tales of Vesperia is their latest entry and the debut of Tales on the Xbox 360. Is this game, built for a new platform, significantly different from its forefathers of a previous generation? Did the design ...

Albeit stripped of content, Mega Man 9 succeeds.
(XBLM)
Capcom, who has perhaps observed Nintendo’s use of nostalgia to maintain its relevance to “true gamers” and recently revived the Bionic Commando franchise with the sublime Rearmed, is resurrecting another dormant IP: the real Mega Man. A new Mega Man with the style of 1988 and twenty years’ design ...

A neat idea mired by repetition.
(GEN)
While the Sonic the Hedgehog trilogy (and Knuckles and even CD or Spinball if you’re CRAZY) is rightfully cherished by a generation of gamers, Sonic 3D Blast rarely receives the same treatment. There is clear precedent for this, but that doesn’t mean 3D Blast deserves to get swept under the ...

Mad Maestro is a thoroughly unentertaining game.
(PS2)
Before Harmonix blew open the North American peripheral-based music game door that Konami had their foot in for years, most popular games of the genre appeared using a standard controller. PaRappa The Rapper was born and created a formula for its sequels other games in the same vein. Mad ...

Delightful storytelling coupled with a thoughtful battle system.
(PS2)
Have you ever wanted to play a role-playing game that was so linear it was almost free of hang-ups all together, but still managed to support an entertaining balance of cutscenes and gameplay? If so, you’ll applaud Final Fantasy X for doing what it does, which is simply cutting ...

A Horrible "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" Time
(XBOX)
Even though it’s strange game to use as a launching pad for my Giant Bomb writing, I’m determined to write about Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds as this review became my sole motivation for completing it after all of the others vanished from my interest. It’s a strange ...
