LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias Review

An excellent sequel to one of the best WiiWare launch titles.

When WiiWare initially launched, the platform/adventure title, LostWinds drew a lot of attention due to its high production value and excellent gameplay. The sequel, LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias retains the pedigree of its predecessor and adds many more unique elements, which ultimately create a gaming experience that is much more satisfying than the original. LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias is not only a fantastic sequel, but also one of the best games currently available on Wii.

Zombies Ate My Neighbors Review

A cult classic is reborn on Virtual Console.

Zombies Ate My Neighbors is a unique game that has developed a strong cult following ever since its original 1993 release. The game is a top down run-and-gun game with many similar themes found in horror movies from the 1950's and more modern ones such as Friday the 13th. This game was one of my favorite games in the '90s and it still passes the test of time in 2009.

Excitebike World Rally Review

An excellent modern update of a beloved NES classic.

The original Excitebike is one of the most beloved NES games of all time and also happens to also be one of my most cherished retro titles. When I heard that Nintendo and Monster Games were collaborating to update the title, I was very excited. Once it became available yesterday, I didn’t hesitate for a second to download it. Rather than taking the easy route of just adding 3D graphics, slapping on some minor features and calling it a day, World Rally is a full-fledged modern update that could easily be called a sequel thanks to its many new features. Thankfully, the game is still as fun as the classic and the various additions prove to be fantastic.

Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble Review

So, you're telling me that the whole point of the game is to wander around and pick fights with people, THEN beat the crap out of them!? Sign me up!

Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble is the latest title from Atlus, a title they have done quite a bit of promotion for leading up to its official release. As a matter of fact, the Badass Rumble subtitle was a direct result of fan input. Since then, Atlus has continued to push the game with a variety of humorous productions centering on what a Bancho is, how to be one, and memoirs of one. Given all the hype, you should be wondering what it's all about.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Review

The sequel picks up where the original left off, but does it carry all of the characteristics that made the original so great?

This generation has been dominated by first person shooters, the latest of which is Activision and Infinity Ward's, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The game keeps to the formula established by the preceding title, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The storyline picks up where the last one left off, however, this time players assume the role of Sergeant Gary "Roach" Sanderson, a member of Task Force 141. The task force is sponsored by the global community and carries a simple mission: Stop Vladimir Makarov, the leader of an Ultranationalist Russian organization.

Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga Review

This "action-RPG" includes more running and standing around than action.

Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga is the third iteration of the Valhalla Knights series, which up until now, have lived solely on the PSP. Each entry in the series is a part of the action-RPG genre featuring a mission-based structure. Eldar Saga falls in line with its predecessor but now features a seamless battle system that occurs in realtime.

Lego Rock Band Review

With a family-friendly presentation and construction, players looking to enjoy a proper Rock Band game with their kids now have the perfect offering.

Rock Band is a young franchise, but has already been through many iterations. Given the widespread appeal of the game, many different track arrangements have been released to satisfy all musical preferences. Though all of these arrangements exist, the challenge level of the games have never reduced to appeal to a younger crowd. As such, Harmonix and Traveller's Tales have teamed up to create Lego Rock Band. The game still features an equivalent challenge level for adults while including easier modes and settings for kids.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars Review

The latest handheld title in the Grand Theft Auto series has made its way to the PSP. But, was the transition from the DS to the PSP handled well?

Earlier this year, Rockstar finally made a commitment to Nintendo's handheld system with the portable title, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. During my tenure at Nintendo World Report, I had the pleasure of reviewing the game, and I walked away quite impressed. With the PSP release now upon us, I had the opportunity to dive back into Liberty City for a second round with the game.

Tekken 6 Review

The latest in the Tekken series suffers from a poor online mode, but offers a great roster and an interesting new mode.

I'll be the first to admit, Tekken has never really been my thing. Don't get me wrong, I love fighting games and tend to play them in excess whenever I get my hands on a new one. However, there has always been something about Tekken that just didn't click with me. For full disclosure, Tekken 6 hasn't changed my opinion of the series and it feels very much like more of the same.
