“So you've just created what critics and gamers alike refer to as the best fantasy adventure game of the generation. People are eager to sample more of the boy's adventures and thus seek a sequel. What do you do? If you said "create a game in the exact same style but with a few new enemies and locations" then you just surprised the hell out of Nintendo, who decided to take their sequel down a different path. To be fair, Majora's Mask reuses a lot of systems and resources from Ocarina of Time, but the changes that are made are so significant that they completely change the dynamic of the game. So let's start with the story, which picks up shortly after the events of Ocarina of Time, back to when Link was a child. Circumstances lead him into the Lost Woods as he searches for his former companion Navi, but along the way a mysterious thief appears who decides it would be fun to steal Link's horse Epona and the ocarina before running away. When Link gives chase he ends up cursed, which is the least of his...”

“Oh boy. It's no secret that I hated the first episode of Sonic 4. Between getting constantly annoyed with the poor physics, uninspired level designs and boring bosses, to say I was looking forward to Episode 2 would be like saying that I was looking forward to my dentist appointment. But like a sucker, I bought Episode 2 based on promises of it being an improved sequel. I will say this much - after playing through it, it does feel like an improved sequel, but it's not really a good game. There's just something about it that makes it feel like a boring, mediocre and forgettable platformer, even though this review will make it sound like it's at least a good game. Return of the robotic clone. After the events of Episode 1, Dr Eggman, who was thought to have been dead, is alive and well. What he had been doing the whole time was bringing Metal Sonic back to life back on Little Planet. When it returns to Earth for its annual visit, Sonic hears word of Eggman still being alive and goes after him with...”

“The Avant-garde genre is constantly pushing the envelope within music and movies by striving artists looking to make a mark through experimental productions, rather than travel down the same path as so many others have done before. Rarely do we see this type of abstract innovation in the gaming industry, let alone from one as well established as The Legend of Zelda Series. However, Majora's Mask caused waves among gamers instantly for its unique approach found in nearly every aspect of the game. Labeled as a "sequel" to the critically acclaimed Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask is literally nothing like its predecessor. While others praised it for a near flawless effort at experimentation, others criticized the game with a passion, citing the time restraint as a highly annoying feature that does not work well with the stereotypical Zelda concept of "time". This game represents the ideal "love-hate" relationship. The features that some will praise make this Zelda game one of their favorite, while others can't...”

“Kid Icarus: Uprising is the game that every Kid Icarus fan has been waiting for since the release of Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters so many years ago. Luckily, they've done this so very right! By completely re-imagining the series and putting it on the best Nintendo handheld to date, this company has done right in every fan's eyes. Instead of the original's vertical-scrolling screen, jumping around and beating down a few monsters, this game provides a full 3D environment, first-person OR third-person shooting (which is a great gift to all fans!) and many different ways to battle. Overall. this game's a great experience. Whoa...look at that tree! This one's pretty simple in itself. The detail put into the graphics are amazing. For most gamers, even if they say otherwise, this is a big part of all games. This game really is just pleasing to the eye, and there's nothing that can change that. From the light, luscious environment of the first part of Chapter 1 to the dark, apocalyptic Underworld...”

“As of writing this review I have a level 53 Barbarian and I'm on Hell difficulty. It's taken us a decade to get here but we're all finally playing Diablo III! Has it lived up to the hype? Personally, I don't think it has but it is what it is, and to each their own. This is just my opinion, feel free to disagree. Overview The first playthrough was quite enjoyable and I didn't mind the story. I was definitely sucked in and was addicted, trying to get through the game. After D3 was released it was a long weekend for us so I got to spend the majority of 3 days going through it and finishing the game as well as trying out multiplayer and utilizing the Auction House. Story and Gameplay The story is a little bland and character development is only really limited to main characters, even then there's not a whole depth to backstory on them. You can pick up audio tomes throughout the game which adds lore about monsters, the environment, and story. These make for nice touches to the game and help make the world...”

“The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the type of game that resonates clearly throughout the relatively short history of video games. Widely regarded as one of the greatest games of all time, it's no wonder that the critically acclaimed game would return to Nintendo's newest portable gaming device. Plagued by an unorthodox name and release date, the 3DS seemed to be turning towards the wrong path both economically and in the eyes of the now skeptical gaming community. Thankfully, the release of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D brought the system back on steady ground almost immediately. With a legion of fans all across the world, this remake is a constant reminder of what an action-adventure game should be like. Needless to say, all of the qualities that sealed the original version's legacy are all present within this portable, accompanied with improved graphics and a near flawless execution of the system's powerful 3D capabilities. While old gamers will certainly give high praise to this remake,...”

“Not their finest hour. Vagrant Story is a game made by Square back when they were really on a roll with great games. Chrono Trigger, Brave Fencer Musachi, Parasite Eve, Xenogears and the Final Fantasy games ranged from pretty good to pretty damn good and basically told everyone that they need to up their game in order to survive... basically, the PS1 era was Square's finest moment. But not everything they've done was great, and this was one of them. Vagrant Story wasn't bad by any stretch of the imagination, but it's pretty easy to tell that this wasn't on par with a lot of other games they've done in this era. A lot of what Square did especially well is present and some of it, I consider to be Square's finest effort on the PS1, but there were a few mistakes and some tedium that caused the game to suffer because of it all. Story is certainly right. The story is definitely this game's strongest suit. Ashley Riot has to stop Sydney, the leader of a cult known as Mullenkamp, because his cult has...”

“Contents Introduction Game Modes Campaign Co-Op Multiplayer The Good The Bad Overall Introduction I am not the most hardcore of Battlefield players. My first was Battlefield: Bad Company 2, which to this I have amassed around 54 hours of game time. I have also bought Battlefield 1943, which then led to the beta of Battlefield 3. I saw a friend playing it on the PS3 and immediately went to download it. Having played the beta almost every day of its existence, my hype for this game was high. I loved it. I bought Battlefield 3 on the first day of its release and banged it out all day, for the next couple of weeks. Unfortunately Modern Warfare 3 came out soon after which diverted a lot of my friends attention away from Battlefield. I am more of a group player, as I prefer to play games with friends so I made a switch to Call of Duty. I never really touched Battlefield again until around May, to which I rekindled my love for this game. It is actually incredible....”
