Naruto: Ninja Destiny | Video Game Review

Naruto: Ninja Destiny
A Nintendo DS Review
By

            When we last left off with the Naruto storyline on the Nintendo DS, Naruto was fighting his way through the Chunin Exams in an RPG. This time, however, we are treated to the first 3D fighter featuring the cast of the imported ninja cartoon. I do have to say though; out of all of the Naruto fighting games, this one may be the best so far.

The Survey says, BUZZ

Buzz The Mega Quiz, PS2, 39.99 (with Buzz Buzzers)

Buzz: The Mega Quiz is a great example of how a simple concept can translate into something so much more, if people let it.
Featuring four wired "buzzers" that connect via a single USB port, the game plays just like any quiz show you would expect, and features over 6000 questions. That's right kids, Six FUCKING THOUSAND, and you know what that means, repeats aren't really much to worry about.

I object... Harvey Birdman Review

Harvey Birdman: Attorney At Law-PS2, Wii, Psp

Quite simply, the biggest question I had in reviewing Harvey Birdman, was "Is this even really a game?"
Playing much like the old laser disc detective "games" we had in my 6th grade biology class, you watch a short film, and decide where to go next, the formula is hardly innovative, or fun, and hardly interactive enough to be called a game. The 4 cases are very short, incredibly easy, and chock full of the trademark William's Street humor you expect from something bearing the Adult Swim logo.

Naruto: Path of the Ninja DS

Naruto: Path Of The Ninja

A Review by Kenneth Holm

            In the crash, boom, bang world of the ninja, one role-playing game stands out for the Nintendo DS. Naruto: Path Of The Ninja is currently the only RPG in America featuring the pubescent, yellow haired ninja for any video game system, and it feels like a Game Boy Advance retread. There is, of course, a good reason for that.

Rayman: Raving Rabbids

            I do not claim to be a gamer in any sense of the word, but I, like anyone else, occasionally enjoy sitting down in front of the square box that seems to be the focal point of my living room and diverting my attention from reality with mindless video games. Rarely, however, does that diversion suck me in so completely that I feel an unnatural compulsion to explore every little detail from beginning to end. This twisted, evil little game has done just that, sucking away my life force with every second of game play. As horrible as that sounds, it has been a fun little trip down the road to oblivion.

Holiday Console Breakdown


Holiday Console Breakdown

For the holiday season I present you a breakdown of what systems are worth buying and what games you should pick up for them. There has been a veritable “gamesplosion” in the last couple of months and rather than stumble around blindly like your eggnog sauced grandmother, I thought you could all profit from a little guidance.

Assassin’s Creed

            So let’s get it all straight. Every year a handful of games come out of some of the largest and most respected development houses on the planet. These games are billed as the biggest and baddest-asses on the block, with shiny pictures and promised features. It’s called hype. It’s everywhere, and unless you’ve taken an Ash sized sleeping draught while trying to avoid the Evil Dead, then you’re bound to be buried under a ton of it. What was one of the world’s biggest darlings this last year?

Ratchet and Clank and the Mario Conspiracy

Disclaimer: I have completed Ratchet and Clank and have been able to put in about 6 hours of gameplay on Mario Galaxy. This is all just my opinion, but it is based on actual gameplay.
PS. This is a rant and this is my blog. I don’t have to be rational and I can make wild accusations if I want to.

PS3 Conan review

It Was A Good Day To Die
By
J. Sternberg

            Okay, so at long last after hours and hours of playing the demo, I finally got my hands on the full version of Conan. Within hours of popping the disc in my PS3 I had completed the quest, smoked an entire pack of cigarettes, and damn near smashed my controller to pieces over a hundred times.
