You know, I remember back in the day when we were running the Jedi Knight clan forum we used to have a review section where we would write mini-reviews of the games we play. We should do that again. So I guess this thread is dedicated to posts trying to convince others to play (or stay away from!) certain ga...

Sexism in Video Games
(Preview)
Have any of you ever noticed that in most games where you have the choice of playing as a female, they make it easier for female characters?
Why is that? Do they think that women can't handle it? And they get special benefits sometimes, too.
Like, in Harvest Moon for the Gameboy Color, if you play as a...

Surprisingly, we haven't heard anything from Snake about his aging namesake.
In case you haven't heard, Solid Snake is getting old...literally. In the newest installment of the Metal Gear Solid series, Snake is much older (or at least he appears to be. It could be another one of Kojima's tricks.....

Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!
(

(Preview)
Just finished it. Great game. A truly moving underdog story, too.
They stopped calling it "Mike Tyon's Punch-Out!!" after Tyson went crazy and obtained a taste for human ears. So if you want to download it from somewhere like romhustler.net, look for "Punch-Out!!"
If you do play it, though, pla...

I have a Dream....cast that is.
(Preview)
Martin Luther King Jr. jokes aside, I did recently purchase a Dreamcast off of eBay recently and am waiting for it in the mail. I bought it for Seaman, but had to order that game separately. The Dreamcast came with 5 other games (which is a lie, since 4 discs are the same game).
Anyways, I started...

Nintendo Revolution Name Changed

Yeah...Nintendo has changed the name of the Revolution.
The Revolution is now the 'Wii' (pronounced 'we').
So there you have it. Nintendo Wii. One thing I might say - whoever came up with that name must have been smoking some wii-d.
The name is pronounced 'we' supposedly to show which di...

Games No Gamer Should Be Without

Ok, so let's come to an agreement here.
Of course, we could all argue what games are best in our own opinions, but surely, someone would argue back how lame that game is in their own opinion. I have no doubts about that.
But we've never got together and agreed on games that no gamer should be without. W...

A Gamer Gone Horribly Wrong

This is a warning to all gamers.
Playing video games is fun. No doubt there. But one thing a gamer must realize is that the vast majority of the world do not play video games, nor do they know any of the characters or musical tunes in games.
Another thing we must realize is that some day, everyone must l...

However, do not play SH4 as a substitute for Resident Evil. The two games implement fear...
