Endless Ocean: Blue World Review

An incredible gaming experience that surpasses its predecessor in every way.

It isn't often that I find myself surprised by the content of a video game. If anything, I usually anticipate a much better experience than I wind up with, resulting in disappointment. Two years ago I sat down with Endless Ocean, and came away feeling utterly impressed with the beautiful underwater world that Nintendo created, yet unfulfilled by the lack of true purpose provided by its fairly shallow gameplay. So, for the release of Endless Ocean: Blue World, I had my doubts about how much Nintendo could expand upon its original formula, and just how deep a game based on diving could be.

Fatal Frame IV: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse Review

After three solid entries into the series, I was expecting more.

As a long-time Fatal Frame fan, I was deeply frustrated by Nintendo's decision to not bring the fourth title in the series overseas. Apparently Nintendo refused to bring it over due to some technical errors that Tecmo refused to fix. Having spent countless hours with each of the previous iterations it seemed ridiculous that Nintendo would bar an entire group of people from experiencing the game due to small issues, such as a sluggish framerate. Thankfully, a dedicated group of fans have pooled their efforts in order to create a fan translation of the game, affording us English speaking gamers the opportunity to play the title.

Squeeballs Party Review

Party games should stick to a console that's fitting for a party.

While the DS has allowed for countless genres to appear in handheld form, there's still one genre of games that doesn't really fit the overarching style of portable games: party games. These types of titles are meant to be enjoyed with many people in a casual environment, and with the exception of long road trips, it’s not often that a grouping of players have no better option than a DS to play such a game. As you might imagine, with Squeeballs Party for the DS, the one element that saved its Wii brother is basically pointless in a portable environment. Outside of its party elements, the game is incredibly dull providing for a subpar experience.

Squeeballs Party Review

Yet another mini-game collection for Wii.

When I started playing through Squeeballs Party, it reminded me over and over again of Itchy and Scratchy; the cartoon cat and mouse on the Simpsons who loved to try and rip one another to shreds. Within this game, all of the squeeballs are constantly either trying to do harm to one another, or falling into hysterics at another's misfortune. The characters themselves are incredibly full of personality, and most certainly add something unique to this game. Unfortunately the gameplay itself is full of rehashes of familiar party games which only remain fun for so long.

Vegas Party Review

How someone managed to butcher casino games so badly is beyond me.

Casino games have been around since the inception of the home video game console. I remember countless hours spent in front of the Colecovision with my parents playing a game that only featured Black Jack and Poker. The game was so simple and to the point though, that it's still playable today. As someone who enjoys some gambling with family or friends every once in a while, I was interested to see what Vegas Party had to offer.

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks Review

While better than Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks still feels lacking.

Since the moment I switched on my very first Zelda game, it has been my favorite series – one that I doubt could ever be dethroned. I have watched the series grow and progress since I was a child, and have been proud to see what has become of my beloved series. That was, however, until I got a hold of Phantom Hourglass. Honestly, I despised every aspect of it; it felt like a watered-down excuse for a Zelda title.
