We take a gander at the successors of the consoles of yesteryear. How the Nintendo 64 meets Nintendo Gamecube, and the same with Playstation into the Ps2, and Genesis into Dreamcast. A new rival appears as well, Microsoft Xbox. Let the Games begin!
Resident Evil gave the horror survival genre life in 1996. I don't know if it was the first horror game, but it made itself the staple for all future games in the genre. It is still known as a classic across the world today, and what better way to show it than remaking it. Capcom and Nintendo made a deal in which Capcom would make ports of the series on their console. The original RE was too outdated, … more
Having a Nintendo DS game around for your children to play with is the perfect remedy for a children's boredom. One of the first games that we got for our daughter was "Mariokart" , which can be found at Best Buy for only 9.99, because it is several years old. This is not a bad price for a kid game with good graphics. Main Idea There is several different … more
Hideo Kojima has made some really great games. His most famous work being the Metal Gear series.

Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection contains the original Metal Gear Solid for the PlayStation One, Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, and Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence for … more

Big game library and a cheaper price for only a minor dip in quality over it's PS3 competition gets more games sooner and a bigger online community because of it.
Resident Evil Code: Veronica X was a good way was a good way to end the series, if it has truly died out because of Resident Evil 4 and RE 5. The game feels like all of it's predecessors, except that it has less of that horror survival "feel, but more of an adrenaline rush. The game keeps true to the games controls and actions, using the tank controls of the previous games. The game also … more
In the year 2000, Sega's Dreamcast was doing fairly well in the hardware department. Unfortunately things for the Dreamcast went south once the Playstation 2 hit the stores and as a result, Code Veronica wasn't really experienced by too many gamers. That is, until CAPCOM decided to bring it to the PS2. Once that happened, Resident Evil Code Veronica could be experienced for the very … more
The original Playstation debuted in 1995 and ushered in a whole new era for gaming. In the first place there was this idea of going to a disc based format instead of cartridges. Sony didn't start this trend, but they showed why it would work better. The console also knocked Nintendo off its high horse in the home console arena. When it came to the the original Playstation it … more

Great game, loads of fun and you can race your friends This game is very similar to the classic Super Mario Kart on the Nintendo Entertainment System. We purchased it for my Son who has really enjoyed it but I enjoyed playing it as well. There are many different characters and vehicles to choose from. Each vehicle has different strengths and weaknesses. There are also different … more
Mario Kart DS has reinvigorated the Mario Kart franchise. Unlike its counterpart Mario Kart Wii which was a huge disappointment, MKDS offers a mobile PvP experience in a simple interface and easy to handle controls. This popular title allows you to race/ battle opponents over a wi fi connection which enables you to play strangers. I have had several memorable experiences racing against strangers in … more
Pros: Good opportunity for multiplaying via Wifi or wirelessly Cons: You never feel like you are going fast in the game The Bottom Line: If you are into racing by yourself the slowness of the graphics can be annoying, but if you are into multiplaying then this game can be a lot of fun. This is not the best Mario Kart game, but … more
Playstation 2 is a hard system to beat... and trust me I have had almost all of them. Starting back in the early 80's with the Intellivision and then I moved on to a Nintendo (old school variety), Sega Genesis, Playstation 1 and so on. Of all of those system only the original Nintendo has had the staying power of the PS2. There are literally thousands of games for you to play! … more
Glazing over some of the other reviews on this page, I've noticed that I'm something of a dinosaur compared to all of the other folks here. I remember the old Atari 2600 and ColecoVision. I was ecstatic when the NES first came out. It had to satisfy my appetite until I made it to college and had friends who owned a Nintendo 64 and I could afford a Sega Genesis. Then came the Playstation, and I still … more
