Spore Hero  |
Rating of: 3.5/5
|
The Best Part of Spore
|
|
In 2008, Electronic Arts published “Spore,” a game designed by Will Wright, creator of “The Sims.” “Spore” is a 5-part game in which players guide the evolution of a creature from the cellular stage all the way to pan-galactic civilization. While I found the first two stages of “Spore” to be interesting, the fact that the last three stages – over half the game – are RTS knock-offs, combined with ... |

| Deus Ex |
Rating of: 5/5
|
|
One of the most innovative and interesting games I played while in college. The story alone is worth playing this game for, but the mechanics work just as well. All in all a great cyber futuristic thriller with RPGs elements that combine for a perfect experience. |

| Half-Life 2 |
Rating of: 4.5/5
|
|
Great story combined with great game play makes this one of my favorite FPS games of all time. If you haven't picked up the Orange Box yet, it's more than worth it - though Half-Life 2 has to be the crowning achievement. |

| Diablo II: Lord of Destruction |
Rating of: 5/5
|
|
Out of the games that have given me the most play time, this has to rank in the top three. Simple hack n slash on the surface, but with nearly endless variety, it is a game (even today) would be worth it to play. I can only hope the third entry is as memorable and fun. |

It’s Been a Long Time, Dungeon
|
|
20 years ago, I fell in love with first-person dungeon-crawling RPGs. I can’t remember if it was “Dungeon Master,” of which I played the SNES port, or one of the ‘Eye of the Beholder’ trilogy for DOS that captured my interest, but I played the Hell out of every one that I could get to work. I loved this particular flavor of Action-RPG, regardless of platform. Looking back, I think what I enjoyed ... |

| Kirby's Return to Dreamland |
Rating of: 5/5

Kirby is a Superstar Again
|
|
Kirby, the shapeshifting pink blob, burst onto Nintendo platforms with his original Game Boy (Brick) outing, “Kirby’s Dreamland” by one of the most prominent Nintendo second-party developers, Hal Laboratories. The original ‘Kirby’ game was an incredibly easy 2D platformer with some fun new mechanics. Since then, the ‘Kirby’ series spawned a number of sequels in which Kirby’s repertoire of powers ... |

Worst Mario Party So Far
|
|
Mario Party 9 takes random to a whole new level and probably won't be an enjoyable experience for any true gamer, even those who enjoyed previous versions of the game.
While it is true that I've never been a huge fan of the Mario Party series, my wife is, so I've played almost all the games. What I've come to expect from Mario Party is a casual multi-player game that you can enjoy with up to ... |

The Last Story might be the last good Wii game
|
|
I just finished The Last Story about a week ago. It isn't available in America until June, and I would highly recommend keeping your Wii around or borrowing someone's Wii that is collecting dust to play it.
Just a great game that really blends the line between action game and RPG.
It is a short game... compared to the other recent Wii RPG Xenoblad Chronicles (which was a 60-70 hour epic)... |

| Super Paper Mario |
Rating of: 5/5

Another Solid Mario Title
|
|
Super Paper Mario's predecessor, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, was (and is) my all time favorite game, so naturally, I was expecting quite a bit from this game. The verdict, was that it was not as good as Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, but still a superb game, and a solid addition to anyone's gaming library.
One of my favorite things about the Paper Mario series, was the consisten... |

Perhaps the most disappointing Wii game yet
|
|
I am an amatuer music composer. I don't have the money to buy an expensive music composing program, so I've had to settle with the record maker on WarioWare DIY. To be honest, I've gotten more out of that single feature of WarioWare alone, that Wii Music. I wanted to be able to compose my own music with real sounding MIDI instruments for a low-ish price. Wii Music seemed like the answer.
