Guitar Hero: On Tour

When DDR first hit the local arcade, there were two crowds that loved to play it - the weekenders and the during-the-weekers. On the weekends, all kinds of people would show up, taking turns, laughing as they failed song after song, cheering for the rare victory. During the week, though, it was a whole other event.

Civilization Revolution

Sid Meier is universally recognized as the master of computer game design. I remember playing F-15 Strike Eagle, on my old Commodore 64 when I was a kid. Civilization is his masterpiece, delighting millions of gamers and evolving through several versions. Civ, for the most part, has been exclusive to PC’s and Macintosh’s. However, with the PC market in a decline the past couple of years, it was only a matter of time before the franchise expanded. Read more

Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice

Nippon Ichi’s unique brand of niche turn-based gameplay finally makes the leap to current generation consoles in Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice. Though to be perfectly honest I’m not exactly sure why, given that this latest sequel still very much looks the part of a game belonging on the PS2 rather than Sony’s Blu-ray behemoth. Read more

Final Fantasy IV

Short on the heels of my completion of Final Fantasy 3 for the Nintendo DS, Square Enix releases yet another remade classic game. Moving slowly down the line to Final Fantasy 4 (soon, no doubt, heading to 5 and 6, but never 7) in order to destroy the time I have only recently freed up. Read more

Spectral Force 3

Atlus has published some of my favorite games of recent years, including La Pucelle Tactics, Disgaea, and Disgaea 2. When I was chosen for this review, the thought of having an Atlus tactical RPG on my Xbox 360 was exciting. Read more

Soulcalibur IV

Ridiculous crossovers are the vehicle of choice for fighting games struggling to find their niche. While Soulcalibur IV doesn’t exactly need to sucker punch Superman to get attention, Namco Bandai’s decision to cross-pollinate its fighter with Star Wars is no less bizarre. Read more

Hellboy: The Science of Evil

You’d think that film studios would exhibit a little common sense and follow a simple rule: don’t make movies that suck. In my opinion, in the past fifteen to twenty years, I’d say about 50-60% of films fall somewhere within the mediocre to decent categories, meaning that I got some sort of enjoyment out of them.

I can tell from the beads of sweat sliding down my forehand that summer, a season rife with movie releases and video game cash-grabs, is in full swing. Read more

The Incredible Hulk

As the story goes in my family, when I was a toddler I had a certain affinity for The Hulk. Apparently, equipped with a special pair of green Under-Roos, I would tromp around the house flexing my muscles and growling. This is one of those stories that my mother will never grow weary of telling, even though the particulars are lost to even myself. Read more
