Laying The Smackdown! On The Competition

Mon, 31 May 2004 15:35:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SolidSnake316 - (Note: I'm trying out a new review format here to help me give the game a more accurate score, so bear with me in terms of why I give out the ratings I do, but the text itself will tell you so much more than the points will.) The Smackdown! series of...

Tony Hawk Soars For The Third Time On The PS2

Sun, 27 Jan 2002 01:49:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SolidSnake316 - (Note: This game has online play, but I lack any way to hook up my PS2 to the Internet and play online, so I’m going to have to omit that part of the review, but look for something similar when I describe the multiplayer options.)

I remember...

MGS2: After All The Hype, It Falls Short

Sat, 26 Jan 2002 01:48:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SolidSnake316 - Don't let the title deceive you. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty is indeed an awesome game by any standards, but I'll tell you, I don't have a clue as to what's going on. The plot line in this game is less complex and more... bizarre... than anything...

Z.O.E. is B.A.D.

Sat, 10 Nov 2001 19:37:31 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author SolidSnake316 - Hideo Kojima. His name is synonymous with great games that feel like movies, due to great writing, above-average voice acting, hauntingly beautiful music, and incredible graphics and game play. Anything this man touches can be considered fine art, and if...

Onimusha: Resident Evil Rip-Off

Sat, 10 Nov 2001 14:30:51 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author SolidSnake316 - After Resident Evil hit the Playstation, survival-horror was never the same again. Creepy atmosphere, haunting music, and one hell of a storyline made for an experience akin to that of seeing a horror movie. Capcom, the company that loves to remake,...

Afro Thunder hits a jab, but misses the uppercut with this sequel.

Sun, 9 Sep 2001 00:31:32 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author SolidSnake316 - Where else can you see Michael Jackson and Bill Clinton go toe-to-toe in the middle of a boxing ring and beat the living crap out of each other? Nowhere, that's where! Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2 is a sequel to the Midway boxing/ fighting/ arcade game...

Sony Dual Shock 2 Controller (711719702603) for PlayStation 2: Why go analog when you've got this?

Sat, 8 Sep 2001 23:08:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SolidSnake316 - Before I start this review, let me say that I cannot stand the PS analog controllers. They are too big, and the sticks usually get in the way. Plus, its too heavy. I've had standard controllers for the three years I've had my Playstation, and I've never...

Super Nintendo Gets Shrunk

Sat, 8 Sep 2001 12:26:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author SolidSnake316 - Game Boy Color: Maybe it was a little more powerful than Game Boy Pocket, but all it offered was the equivalent of your basic 8-bit NES game. A number of lame PS ports, and some decent NES ports and some good ol' Nintendo franchise titles (Link's...

Tekken 3: The Pinnacle of Playstation Fighting

Wed, 29 Aug 2001 16:46:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SolidSnake316 - The arcade version of Tekken 3 was one of the greatest fighting games I have ever played. Now, it is converted to the Playstation, with tons of secrets, extra modes, characters, and moves!

Namco knows how to please. They basically launched the...

Freeze! Drop Your Credit Card!

Fri, 3 Aug 2001 18:48:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author SolidSnake316 - (Reviewer's Note: Okay, I played this game with the PSX Dual Shock Controller, and not the Guncon, and I only rented this game. I didn't buy the Guncon/game combo for $60, but I will mention these things later...)

There's nothing like a good...

An Arcade Game In A Sim Shell

Thu, 19 Jul 2001 22:57:47 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author SolidSnake316 - This game wants so badly to be a sim game. It wants to be Gran Turismo. It ends up being nothing but an arcade racer with very little substance.

R4 is the fourth game in Namco's very popular racing series. It was supposed to get one-up on it's...

GT Advance Takes the Pole Position On the GBA.

Sat, 30 Jun 2001 11:42:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SolidSnake316 - About 99% of the racing games on the GBC are lousy because the system is very under-powered, making for flicker, slowdown, and lame graphics. Here, this is definitely not the case. This is a racing game that'll keep you busy for a long time.

"We've Got A Red Aston Martin Speeding On Route 5...."

Sat, 30 Jun 2001 01:28:24 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author SolidSnake316 - Sirens, screeching tires, bad guys in fast cars, guns and syndicated television shows. They all come together in this Playstation game. Yes, this game is based on the television show of the same name. You drive around as a cop, stopping drunk drivers,...

F.P.W. Hits A Powerbomb on it's GBA competition

Fri, 29 Jun 2001 15:43:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SolidSnake316 - From the first time I read about the Game Boy Advance, I knew I needed one. So, I pre-ordered one, and got it, with this game, at the U.S. launch day. You might be thinking, "It's a hand-held wrestling game! Those are always terrible!" You are so very...

Dave Mirra hits a Faceplant with this game.

Fri, 29 Jun 2001 13:46:57 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author SolidSnake316 - Can someone please tell me how someone could take a game, add in more of everything, yet still make a game much worse than what came before it? Well, that's what has happened here in Dave Mirra Maximum Remix. This game is so buggy and some of the...

The Almost Perfect Wrestling Experience

Fri, 29 Jun 2001 12:28:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SolidSnake316 - Before I start, let me just say that I am a huge wrestling fan, and a huge video game fan, but for this review, I will review from the point of view of a wrestling fan, because that's the only way to rally do it.

This game as a ton of...

Jack of All Trades, Master of None

Sun, 8 Apr 2001 21:34:22 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author SolidSnake316 - Having never played the original Die Hard Trilogy, I was thinking, "Three games in one sounds fun." I had also heard that the original game was very good at what it did. So, that's the mindset I went into this game with. Since this game has three...

A Refreshing, Yet Short, Experience

Sun, 10 Dec 2000 23:58:22 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author SolidSnake316 - In an age when so many fighting games come out that bring no real innovation to the genre, its nice to see a game like Destrega. No, its not made by Capcom, and no, Jin Kazama is not in attendance, but this game is just as good as them, and even better...

The Near Perfect Wrestling Experience

Sun, 10 Dec 2000 19:10:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SolidSnake316 - After WWF Wrestlemania came out on Nintendo 64, Playstation gamers were stuck without a legitimate WWF wrestling game. Attitude wasn't cutting it; it was slow, sloppy, and dated. Enter SmackDown!.

What a way for THQ to use the WWF license...
