New Super Mario Bros Wii Review by Mirai

Posted in Mirai, Reviews, Wii on December 25th, 2009

New Super Mario Bros Wii tries to be every Mario game, and then gets rid of some of the best things from the best one, all while refusing to update the controls beyond a couple waggletastic gimmicks. (2/5)

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Review by Azisien

Posted in Azisien, PC, Playstation 3, Reviews, Xbox 360 on December 25th, 2009

What would happen if the game industry was not just a boring collection of – let’s face it – relatively greasy nerds sitting in offices typing code and working in 3DSMax or ZBrush? Suppose the game industry was more of a grand maelstrom of warring factions. Each game company would own its market share of [...]

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance Review by NonCon

Posted in Game Boy Advance, NonCon, Reviews on December 25th, 2009

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance tries its damnedest to ruin everything great about the original FFT. Luckily for the player, laws and unintuitive design can only ruin things so much, and we get a product that is far better than it has any right to be. (3/5)

Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne Review by NonCon

Posted in NonCon, Playstation 2, Reviews on December 18th, 2009

Nocturne is Atlus doing every jRPG thing better than every other jRPG. Less grinding, more atmosphere, better plot, deeper battles, and harder gameplay. (5/5)

Posted in Mirai, Nintendo DS, Reviews on December 18th, 2009

Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story is basically the next step towards perfection in the new jRPG platformer genre, and above all else it never stops being hilarious. (5/5)

Left 4 Dead 2 Review by NonCon

Posted in Azisien, PC, Playstation 3, Reviews, Xbox 360 on December 11th, 2009

Left 4 Dead 2 is a fun game, but it’s too much the first one, and loses the originality that made it great. It’s far from being worth $60, and is another mark against Valve. (2/5)

BlazBlue Review by NonCon

Posted in NonCon, Playstation 3, Reviews, Xbox 360 on December 4th, 2009

BlazBlue is to fighters what Mirror’s Edge is to platformers, only minus all of Mirror’s Edge’s flaws. It’s fresh, silly, and fun, and a great play for anyone, even if you aren’t into fighting games. (4/5)

Saint’s Row 2 Review by Mirai

Posted in Mirai, Playstation 3, Reviews, Xbox 360 on December 4th, 2009

Saint’s Row 2 is pure sandbox perfection. Nothing more, nothing less. A few tiny gripes don’t disguise the fact that I was a year late to discover this absolutely fantastic game. 5/5
