When people think of creative or unique video games, the original Xbox system isn’t the first system to jump into anyone’s mind. The PS2 spawned a million games, including some games that were considered to be pretty odd by western gamer standards. Games like Katamari Damacy immediately come to mind, since that was […]

System: Microsoft XBox
Genre: Music/Rhythm
Developer: Konami
Publisher: Konami
Released: 11/15/06
Sometimes I really wonder what goes on in the collective minds of a single corporation. What REALLY goes into the decision-making process when push comes to shove? Some ideas are brilliant in their common sense. Some are completely devoid of logic. And others seem […]

Release Date: 10/25/2006
Marvel Ultimate Alliance is the third action RPG from Raven, with the first two being the ultra popular X-Men Legends games. This time however, Marvel has opened up their entire universe to them; allowing Raven to make a game that pits an army of Marvel’s heroes […]
Review: Cars (Xbox)
Developer: Rainbow Studios
Publisher: THQ
Genre: Racing/Adventure
Release Date: 06/06/06
Another kid’s movie, another licensed title. I fully admit that I have not even seen the eponymous film yet; while I love Pixar’s work, I find sitting in a theatre filled with children to be tiresome at best, and a hellish experience at worst, so I will […]
Xyanide
Developer: Playlogic
Publisher: Playlogic
Genre: 3-D Multi-Scrolling Rail Shooter
Release Date: 08/17/2006
To tell you the truth, I have no idea how I happened on this game. I must have been looking at a coming releases list or heard someone else talk about it, but somehow I saw it, assumed it was going to be some gritty dark […]

Systems Released on: Microsoft Xbox, Arcade Coin-Op, Sammy Atomiswave
Release Date: 4/18/2006
In a day and age where a console lasts about 5 years (and things like the PSP or N-Gage last even less), it’s amazing to think that the Neo*Geo had games coming out for it for a little […]

Platform: XBOX
Rating: M (Mature 17+)
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Developer: EA Redwood Shores

Video games based on motion pictures have a very spotty history. For every Goldeneye, there’s a dozen more bad games like any of the Evil Dead games or E.T. Now, EA has decided to throw their hat into […]

Sonic Riders
Genre: Racing
Developer: Sonic Team
Publisher: Sega
Release Date: 2/21/06
Hey, look, it’s a Sonic the Hedgehog racing game! That’s new!
Okay, so this is Sonic’s third foray into the world of racing games. The first two (Sonic R for the Saturn and Sonic Drift for the Game Gear) were, shall we say, less than stellar, so I’m curious […]
Samurai Shodown V
Developer: SNK
Publisher: SNK
Genre: 2D Fighter
Release Date: 12/21/2005
You know there was a time that feels so long ago. A time clouded with the haze and mists of age. It was a time when neither Mortal Kombat nor Street Fighter 2 reigned supreme as the most popular fighting game on the block. And no, […]
