Review: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D

Review: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D

By Norman Major III on July 19, 2011

The Original Ocarina of Time for the N64 was a commercial and critical success. It heralded a charge into 3D action/adventure, and invented some new mechanics that have been staples in video games ever since.

Review: Thor God of Thunder (DS)

Review: Thor God of Thunder (DS)

By Norman Major III on May 9, 2011

WayForward Technologies has been creating video game movie tie-ins for quite some time. They created the creative and challenging Dispicable Me: Minion Mayhem, and also Contra 4 for the DS, a faithful continuation of the Contra franchise. It stands to reason that they may be able to create a fun and challenging game based on Thor, right? Not so much.

Review: Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition

Review: Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition

By Norman Major III on May 9, 2011

Super Street Fighter IV for the Nintendo 3DS is the definitive handheld fighter. It offers great graphics, good control, and most of the modes offered in the console release. It also integrates very functional online support. If you own the 3DS and enjoyed the Street Fighter 2 glory days, you owe it to yourself to pick this game up.

Review: Fish Tank (PS3/PSP)

Review: Fish Tank (PS3/PSP)

By April Carlson on April 20, 2011

Fish Tank is a downloadable PS3/PSP minis game by developer iFun4All, who claims to be the worst game developer in the world and whose ultimate goal is to create the worst game ever made. I am sad to say that they have not yet made their goal. Fish Tank, while not the greatest game of all time, definitely has some fun and addictive qualities.

Review: Ōkamiden

Review: Ōkamiden

By Norman Major III on April 18, 2011

I loved the first Okami game. Its art style and Zelda-like gameplay made it one of the best games of 2006. One of my biggest complaints about the game was that the brush was difficult to wield using an analog stick. Then in 2008, it was released for the Wii, and while the brush mechanic was improved, the art-style suffered an unfortunate downgrade for some reason. The Wii is more powerful than the PS2, so I was quite surprised to see that the awesome “paper” texture was missing from the Wii version. It’s not surprising that it’s also missing from Ōkamiden, Capcom’s next adventure in Nippon, the world in which Okami took place.

Review: Yogi Bear The Video Game

Review: Yogi Bear The Video Game

By Norman Major III on January 24, 2011

I’m not a really big fan of Yogi Bear, nor do I understand how on earth somebody thought it was a great idea to make Yogi and Boo Boo into a live action movie featuring Dan Aykroyd as the voice of the title character. So I will just come right out and say it… Yogi Bear: The Video Game for the DS is not that bad. Really. Mind you, this game is geared towards the same kids that will enjoy the live action romp, and bear-ing that in mind I have found that the game will probably be pretty entertaining for them.

Review: Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light

Review: Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light

By Norman Major III on November 29, 2010

Square Enix has a storied history in the world of RPGs and MMORPGs. From what was supposed to be the companies swan song, Final Fantasy has grown into a franchise that has featured full-length films, successful spin-offs, and has found a home on many major consoles. They have even started to remake some of their beloved games for the DS, but we have not seen an original Final Fantasy title for Nintendo’s little handheld, until now.

Review: Kamen Rider Dragon Knight (DS)

Review: Kamen Rider Dragon Knight (DS)

By April Carlson on December 4, 2009

Kamen Rider Dragon Knight is a fighting game with some RPG elements for the Nintendo DS. Taken from the popular CW4Kids series of the same name, the game is a surprisingly fun fighting game for the handheld system. You will be able to play all 13 Kamen Riders including the two Survive Mode characters as well as a bunch of other unlockable characters. The game was published by D3 Publisher and developed by Natsume, most known for the popular Harvest Moon series. As a huge fan of Harvest Moon, I was actually very excited to see what they brought to the Kamen Rider game.
