One thing to keep in mind about Final Fantasy IX is the fact that it idolizes the art of theatre, and is thus bold in its aesthetic edge as a play often is. The presentation of the game as a play is articulated via the exaggerated personalities of the characters, their demeanor, wardrobe, as [...]

Pure awesome.

Red Dead Redemption Needs No Redemption (But a Sequel Would Be Nice!)
Red Dead Redemption goes so far beyond simply perfecting ever turn and speed bump while blazing its way into modern video game history better than any internal combustion engine vehicle could. This Rockstar releases pushes past the flawless game play to securely find its footing, only to provoke the player into considering the concept of redeeming [...]
NIER.
It sucks. So much. Oh my God, it sucks. The story is retarded. The game play consists of mashing one button for extended periods of time (and that’s all you get.) The characters look, and sound like they came out of a retarded emo kid’s poetry book. I want to kill Yonah. While it may have started [...]
Final Fantasy 13: The Review
Somewhere along the way, some delicate flower decided to spew out the word ‘linear’ in an effort to sway the enthusiasm many of us had for the game. Let’s be honest, who likes to hear words like linear be thrown around when they’re supposed to be playing a fun game? Straight lines aren’t fun. Unless [...]
Demon’s Souls: A Dose of Glory!
I know most of my reviews seem to favor the games investigated in them, but in my defense, I can’t help having near impeccable taste. Developer From Software (how’s that for stereotypical Engrish?) known for their Armored Core and Tenchu series have succeeded in cooking up one of the most exciting, exclusiveaction RPG titles on [...]
Uncharted 2: Priceless!
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is a game that is well-worth the wait that fans of the game had to endure. Everything that Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune was, Among Thieves is tastefully more. The plot takes place two years after the first game’s events. Nathan Drake finds himself on the track of Marco Polo, the merchant explorer, and of course, [...]
Holy Adaptation, Batman!
I know I’ve said that I wouldn’t buy Batman Arkham Asylum because a game made from any franchise is usually utter crap meant to leech as much money from crazy fans who’ll buy just about anything with their favorite hero plastered on it. I kept hearing people say that the game was good, and brushed [...]
Lock and Load: Chrono Trigger
Few games stand out in my mind when I think about ones that I cannot seem to get over despite the rapid technological advancements, which, instead of making games better, only seem to slowly erode their overall quality. Chrono Trigger is easily one of the best games of all time and I’ll tell you why: What [...]
To Wrangle With Wolverine
If you’ve ever owned a Sega Genesis console, you may have owned that X-Men game. In fact, it was elaborately called X-Men. I owned it-and it wasn’t bad, but Wolverine was difficult to control. He was by far the most powerful character, but the stocky man in the bright yellow tights was purely as agile [...]
