"Advance Wars" for the GBA. I was desperate for a game for a long trip. Nothing peaked my interest. Saw this was a strategy game, saw that it was turn-based.. Hoped for something a bit more RTS, but there was nothing so boom. Bought it. And could not believe what an incredible gaming...

Pyramid Head from "Silent Hill 2". My heart always jumped into my throat. Also, the Phase 1 Dark Troopers in the original "DARK FORCES".. On the ice level... Right at the end of the level.. You're in the ventilation shaft in the dark.. You're scrambling to find your way out.. Then you...

Eh, i actually have a soft spot for "Phantom Menace" and still think it's the best of the prequel movies. It had it's weaknesses, but Liam Neeson' Qui-Gon Jinn was a great character. Too bad they cut him off so early. The pod race and the final lightsaber duel were really strong action...

Advance Wars: Dual Strike is a must-own title. An insane amount of unlockables keep you coming back again and again and again. Highly addictive strategy game that is more fun then you think. I rarely play through a game a second time, but this one i've gone through at east 5 times now...

This is like trying to pick your favourite child. They are ALL great, but i think i have to give the edge to Evil Dead II because it was kind of a landmark film in how it combined true horror with slapstick. That sequence with Bruce Campbell fighting with his hand is the stuff of legend (and...

I just could never get into KOTOR II. It took me a couple of tries to get going on the first KOTOR, too, but once you got past that first planet it got to be quite fun and engaging. Never reached that point with KOTOR II. Maybe some day i'll try it again, but it just bored me. I liked...

I never got "Resident Evil". (And I was a big fan of the original ALONE IN THE DARK!) Also a big SILENT HILL fan. I remember my buddy and I rented it WAY back in the day on the original PS1 from the videostore.. Brought it home. Played it for about 20 minutes. Returned to the...

Nice review. This game has intrigued me ever since i heard about it (oh gosh, was that a year ago, now?) I have heard that the game can be maddeningly unforgiving, but being an old-school gamer i can appreciate that. I'll probably check it out at some point.

Thanks alot for the feedback, guys. It's kinda funny, as I played the initial RE back in the day but never really got into the sequels at all. Then I managed to pick up RE4 after all the acclaim when it came out on the PS2. It was decent enough but i never really did get super-involved...

Can't quite explain why, but for some reason I am feeling compelled to pick up RE5 for the PC. Just curious what the community's opinions of the game are? Worth getting? Are there still a decent amount of people that go online with it? How's the game in general? Thanks!

To be honest the story of "Alice in Wonderland" has never appealed to me. I've tried reading the book. I've watched several incarnations of the story on film. Something about the story just does not connect with me. I don't get why it's so popular. If it were any other director i wouldn't...

Hmm, that may be the case. I have to admit that so far i've only done the early stages of the marine campaign, and in parts like that club sequence i just hunkered down in one corner and let the Aliens come to me. With my experiences with the multiplayer, though, i am learning and more and...

This is what i've heard! I haven't had the chance to pick it up yet. With Pandemic closing down *sniff*, and given how the Saboteur seems to have really flown under the radar/gotten little publicity, i'm just waiting for it to show up on the cheap before picking it up. I'm looking forward...

Yeah, i would definitely suggest "The Thing" and "Mercenaries", and pass on DMC2. I think i actually had more fun with "Mercenaries" then i did "GTA: SA". There were some real nice action settings in there. Too bad MERCS 2 got screwed up so badly.

Treasure underappreciated? I dunno, i see their name brought up quite a bit on other sites as a pretty popular developer. At least among the messageboard set. I don't know if Pandemic counts. I just found i always enjoyed the titles put out by Pandemic. The first real developer where i...
