Donkey Konga is an excellent music game for beginners, though those experienced in the genre will most likely find it lacking in the difficulty area. Still, the game manages to be a lot of fun with its unique Donkey Kong theme and conga drum controller. Donkey Konga does manage to...
Spider-Man 2
Lucky for me, the game gets at least a bit better after that. Highlights include Mysterio's tripping-out bizzaro level, which plays a lot like a level from Sonic the Hedgehog - yeah, a bit like Spring Yard Zone or Casino Night Zone. Another level requires Spidey to disarm a bunch...
Mario vs. Donkey Kong may not have as much universal appeal as a typical Mario platformer, but the puzzle-heavy gameplay is engaging and addictive in its own way. There are a ton of levels, and the level design is interesting enough to maintain your interest for a long while,...
To be honest, I did not play Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance all the way through to the end, but the fact of the matter is that I don’t think a change in locale means a change in gameplay. I did not play all of it, but I did play...
XIII
Although XIII is a bit lacking in the depth department, the comic book presentation deserves to be seen at least once. Shooter fans should like this game. What's there is fun, even if you may have played it before in other games.

In all, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is a decent handheld conversion of a console game. It maintains the game’s overall plot and core mechanics, but converts them to a two-dimensional side scrolling adventure game. In this regard, the game is a success. However, the game does stand...
Importers should be aware that most of the text in Kirby Air Ride is in Japanese, meaning that menu navigation will require some trial and error. Figuring out how to meet objectives and unlock extras without Japanese skills is nearly impossible. The game itself is entirely enjoyable, but...
Ikaruga
Ikaruga is awesome, but it's not for gaming weenies. You must be at least this tall to ride.
There really isn’t much else to say about such a simple game without going into excruciating detail about each of the cards. Frankly, none of that really matters, since finding the best use for each card is a matter of personal preference. As with any collectable card game,...
While Virtua Tennis does harbor a few blemishes, the entire package is definitely a worthwhile experience for those looking for a fun tennis game. The poor odds of finding three other people who own the game hurts the title’s appeal, as playing with a few other friends is what made...
