rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JayDukes - Here we go again with yet another first-person shooter. In this genre, it seems as if there’s not much further you can go for originality, and nowadays, finding a way to wow gamers has a been a challenge. So what more can a developer do to make their...

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 22:39:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JayDukes - I was raised to never judge a book by its cover. Just because something or someone may look a little off, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they are. When it comes to games, I apply that same philosophy, but at the same time, I try to be a realist as...

The shooter to end all shooters?

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 22:34:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JayDukes - Gears of War this, Gears of War that. For the past year and some change, that's pretty all you heard, and it got the point where you couldn't discuss the future of gaming without taking on a reference to the game. Sometimes, when a game gets this much...

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 13:27:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JayDukes - Block puzzle games. Okay, what just came to mind? It was most likely Tetris or some form of it. Lumines on the PSP, which is arguably the hottest puzzle game today, probably popped up. Old school gamers remember Columns as a Genesis classic from...

A Safe Bet.

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 13:20:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JayDukes - I was never much of a card player. When it comes to playing cards, my expertise doesn’t go much further past Windows Solitaire or Free Cell. Maybe I’ll get in the occasional game of Uno. With that resume, one would think playing Texas...

Thu, 30 Nov 2006 09:52:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JayDukes - Okay...let's run down the list. We have the hero, who can, for some ungodly reason, hold a load of large items all at once, yet appear empty-handed. Then we have thousands of starving zombies surrounding said hero, and all of them need a snack. Then...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JayDukes - The Sega Saturn was a mighty fine system, but there just weren't enough reasons to own one. It had a few exclusive titles that turned heads in its time, such as NIGHTs: Into Dreams and Virtua Fighter 2. However, it couldn't hold its own against the...

Thu, 8 Sep 2005 17:45:29 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author JayDukes - There comes a time in a reviewer's life where he or she has to dig deep for material. I don't mean just "deep", I mean a game so deep in the bargain bin, you basically have to lift up the bin and pull the game out from under it. And that's what I did. I...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JayDukes - When you ask a gamer what the best James Bond game is, almost everyone will say Goldeneye without a stutter. Let’s face, Goldeneye was the standard; it had a great story, cool weapons, and an ever cooler multiplayer experience with the...

Fri, 26 Mar 2004 00:23:58 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author JayDukes - Aquaman?! You’re kiddin’, right? With the few cool comic book superhero movies and games in media, you’d imagine it would take a certain “it” factor to be immortalized. Take Superman, for instance. He was so cool, they made...

Wed, 28 Jan 2004 19:23:52 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author JayDukes - Alright, fine…and I’m a wrestling game-aholic. Yep, that’s it. There can’t be any other reason than that for me spending my hard-earned cash for this game. What makes it worse is the fact that I had a feeling it wasn’t going to...

Sat, 31 May 2003 09:42:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JayDukes - Okay, before I kick-start this review, there is something I want to get off my chest about Captain Commando. If you only know him as the guy in Marvel vs. Capcom, you’re still wet behind the ears.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author JayDukes - Wouldn’t you know it…Interact has disappointed me once again. But I guess, just like last time, I asked for it.

Thu, 29 May 2003 12:26:43 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author JayDukes - Now I know I’m probably going to upset a lot of gamers when I say this, but I can’t hold it in any longer. This has been something I’ve wanted to get off my chest since this game hit the shelves back in the mid-90s.

Whew…okay...

Tue, 13 May 2003 00:34:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JayDukes - There are very few titles that can pull off what the Castlevania series has done for the world of video gaming. With the exception of Castlevania 64 for the Nintendo 64, Konami, the series’ developers, has stuck to the original 2-D...

Sat, 26 Apr 2003 16:00:32 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author JayDukes - "Blah, blah...Def Jam: Vendetta is not a wrestling game...blah, blah..."

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author JayDukes - There comes a time in every video game series when its developers want to take their product and fly off on a tangent. Look at Super Smash Brothers Melee, for instance. Within the game, you have a bunch of Nintendo’s major corporate symbols,...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JayDukes - Being a huge fan of the WWE and the Smackdown wrestling game series, I knew before I picked up WWE Smackdown: Shut Your Mouth that I was going to be left with a choice. I could either go to the French Quarter here in New Orleans and party my work-free...

Fri, 22 Nov 2002 18:48:45 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author JayDukes - Alright, folks...Jay's upset, so...IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIME!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JayDukes - Take a Transformer and give it the same size, strength, and destructive power of Godzilla. Now imagine being able to command it with your Dual Shock Playstation 2 controller. Pretty sweet, ain’t it? Well, this is idea behind this awesome game...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author JayDukes - While pulling all my old school games from the abyss that is my closet, I’ve come across something that I wish I had left there to rot. I’m not even going to waste my breath blowing the dust out of this cartridge because if I ever played a bad...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JayDukes - There’s no argument here, folks. There hasn’t been a single racing game on the PS2 that could even touch the greatness that is Gran Turismo 3: A-spec. GT3 came out when the PS2 originally hit the shelves, and it has reigned as one of the...
