Wrestling games should be simple. You get some wrestlers in a ring and have them fight it out. WCW Backstage Assault breaks that formula. It is a game in which wrestlers fight in backstage areas. No ring is present.

Video Game Review – Goldeneye: Rogue Agent (PS2)

If you owned an Nintendo 64 then it’d likely you’ve heard of GoldenEye 007. Released in 1997, the game was groundbreaking and to this day holds up in the quality department. The game never had a sequel in the strictest sense. Video game company Rare, the makers of GoldenEye, released a spiritual sequel with Perfect Dark. The game was built on the same engine but featured new, original characters.
No one really expected another GoldenEye to me made. But then in 2004 GoldenEye: Rogue Agent saw release. It’s title is deceptive in that it has nothing to do with the movie GoldenEye or the N64 game.
Video Game Review – That’s So Raven (GBA)

There is no reason I should like this game. I didn’t watch That’s So Raven. I don’t really like Disney. The game was bought for my sister. She didn’t really watch the show either. Why on earth do I own have this game?
I don’t know the answer, but the fact remains I do. And despite a sincere indifference to this game I find a sliver of charm to it.
Video Game Review – WWE Crush Hour (PS2)

To call WWE Crush Hour strange is an understatement. It is easily one of the most bizarre video games to use the official WWE license. It’s a demolition derby game in which wrestlers drive weapon stocked vehicles around in an attempt to kill each other.

Singularity is a first-person shooter developed by Raven Software and published by Activision that was released recently for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. It combines elements of other established games and adds a few interesting devices of its own to make a fresh, enjoyable gaming experience that is well worth your time. You could stop reading right now since you already know I approve of it, or you could continue on past the break to find out why exactly this game is good (and for my award winning humor as well).

There are a lot of wrestling games for portable consoles. The bulk of them are awful. WWE Survivor Series is one such awful game. When I bought it I sort of knew it would suck. But I wanted a portable wrestling game and figured Survivor Series would be as good as any.

It saddens me to know that this game has slipped into obscurity. Despite its flaws, Blasto is full of potential. If the game spawned a series then the following installments would have surely brought improvements. It could have turned into a classic franchise that would still be thriving today.

Some games have a lot of potential, in pre-production they have a grand blueprint that should surely yield positive results. But then somewhere in production things go wrong. For one reason or another the final product is shit. Batman: Dark Tomorrow is prime example of this.

Oh The Land Before Time. The title brings to mind some cherished childhood memories. The original film is a masterpiece, the relentless onslaught of sequels not so much. But I’m not talking about the movies here I’m talking about a game: The Land Before Time Big Water Adventure. Based on the 9th movie in the franchise this game saw release back in 2002.

Video Game Review – Mortal Kombat Special Forces (PS1)

Released in 2000, Mortal Kombat Special Forces was Midway’s second action-adventure Mortal Kombat game. The game is infamous among MK fans for being the worst of the worst and truth be told it’s hard to argue. The game is ridiculously bad. It is the kind of game that’s a chore to play through and for the sake of my sanity I never beat it completely.
