Castle Crashers Review

Truth be told, it is my husband's Xbox.He is a serious gamer, and I am a reluctant game watcher.I don't excel at first person shooters, and racing games are not for me.But when I first saw Castle Crashers, reminiscent of the old side-scroller Castlevania, I was intrigued.My husband, always on the lookout for a game that I will willingly play with him (I love Rock Band and Guitar Hero, but he doesn't) purchased Castle Crashers in the hope that I'll at least pretend to like it for a few hours.Much too both our surprise I loved it!The graphics are fun.The game play is easy to learn, yet dynamic enough that you don't get bored.It is so fun to be able to play either 4 man local, or online.We have enjoyed hours upon hours of unlocking characters and capping out abilities. One of my favorite things about the game is that you can play for only 5 minutes and get something accomplished.You don't have to have unbelievable amounts of time to dedicate to the game in order to have a good time.

Streets of Rage Review

Streets of Rage

I love this game. I played it a zillion times during Spring 1993 with my friend Andrew. I used to play Axel or Blaze and he would be Adam. There are 8 levels to work thru in a run-down and corrupt city led by the evil Mr Big. Beating up all the bad guys and the end-of-level boss is much fun. Level 4 (The Bridge) was my fave because you could chuck baddies down the holes into the river.

It also had truly fantastic music. The composer Yuzo Koshiro did absolue miracles with the limited technology of the Sega Genesis. The main theme, Level One, Level 4 and Final Boss are standout tunes.

I wish Sega would do PC version of the SOR games. It's not fair that only people with a Genesis can still play this game. I would love to own this again. It would be in my computer permanently.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project Review

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I love this game even 15 years later! This is an awesome beat-em up game with everyone's favorite four turtles, Donatello, Michaelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael. The game starts when the turtles are vacationing on a beach, the evil Shredder comes and steals Manhattan Island. The turtles go back into action, brawling baddies on the beach and then surfboarding back to NYC (first 2 levels).

If you've played TMNT the Arcade Game, its the same system, just with more diverse fun. The graphics and gameplay are taken straight from the previous TMNT Arcade Game (NES port). New moves include throws, and each turtle has their own special manufer that will drain health when used. There is a wide array of character bosses from the cartoons and movies. Rocksteady, Bebop, Tokka, Rahzer, Super Shreder, Krang (and his body), Groundchuck, Slash and more.

More foot soldiers, more tricks, traps and obsticles! Its an amazingly great game! It was awarded best game of 1992 by Electronic Gaming. Find this game, rent it, buy it, play it and you're in for some fun, especially with a friend as another turtle.

Product Description:
After fighting crime and evil for so long, even the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles need a vacation. So, Michaelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo, and Raphael head down to Florida for some well deserved rest and relaxation. But after their archenemy, Shredder, tries to steal the island of Manhattan and kidnap April O' Neil, the guys' favorite reporter the Turtles have to high-tail it back home to save the day. You'll have to get through eight huge levels of action as you brave the Typhoon Tide Pool, Baron Von Spleen's Battle Barge, and a host of other weird obstacles. But you'll have access to jet-powered surfboards, a blimp, and a spaceship in addition to all sorts of new moves the boys can pull off. You'd better hurry, or Shredder is going to escape with your hometown and your best human friend!

Battletoads Review

At the time this game was notorious for its inability of most of the general public to get past level 3.Most kids at the time just couldn't.And for a game that has it's content so well designed for kids (a TMNT rip-off, 'toad tongue-in-cheek) this is unfortunate since the dynamics of each of the 12 levels are incredibly varied.Really the game itself isn't a kid's difficulty level.I've heard many deem it the TOUGHEST NES game ever, arguably more so than even Metroid.Because much of it can only be done from memorizing the map (like dodging walls in the speeder / level 3), it will invariably take a few games PER LEVEL.There are no passwords although there are warps (a real gamer won't need them).There's many, many highlights beyond 'level 3' - the Surf level, the giant snakes, the Elevator Shaft, and if you're lucky, the Dark Queen's tower.You'll be doing anything from fighting 'Double Dragon' style to Castlevania-platforming to dodging obstacles in your plane, unicycle, speeder, whatever.The monsters and sense of humor the game provides make the whole thing move magnificently + STILL make me wonder if this has a cancelled cartoon show pilot somewhere...

Watchmen: The End is Nigh The Complete Experience Review

Watchmen: The End is Nigh The Complete Experience
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this package and in my opinion it's a pretty good deal, especially for the price Amazon is selling it at.

Yes, the game is pretty much a button masher, but for a 40 year old dude like me, that's fine; I don't want to spend hours learning mutliple button combinations and special moves.I played the PS3 demo and enjoyed the atmosphere of the game.

The Director's Cut of the film is on 1 DVD and the game and additional features from the film are on a separate DVD.

The special features on the game disc are the same ones included in the 3 disc Blu-ray set.The only thing you don't get is the digital copy, which would be in standard definition only anyway, so no big loss.

*Here is an interesting point with this set* The bonus features on the game disc will play on your standard Blu-ray DVD player!I tried it in my Samsung unit and the menu comes up and they play perfectly.

So, if you think you want both parts of the PS3 game and the director's cut of the film, I think this set is an OK deal.As a small bonus, you also get a poster featuring Rorschach and Nite Owl and a fold out Watchmen Timeline taking you through key points in the Watchmen storyline.Neither is very impressive, but they are exclusive to this set as far as I know.The case is a standard 3 sided fold-out with a disc on the left and right panels and a slot containing the inserts in the center.

Viewlarger. The Games

The lines between good and evil have been blurred and crime and terror run rampant in the streets unchecked. The alleys, rooftops, and sewers are crawling with criminals and brutal gangs. And now to make matters worse, Underboss-in a daring escape-has broken out of prison and is ruling with vicious darkness. The city is in need of saviors and only masked hero vigilantes answer the call. Answer the call in Watchmen: The End Is Nigh.

Key Features

    Intense, Visceral Battles - Fight up to 20 enemies at the same time with bloody, street-fighting moves.
    Local Multiplayer - Clean up the streets with friends in split screen co-op multiplayer competition, or solo.
    Advanced Audio/Video Support - The game supports in-game DolbyDigital and HDTV 1080i.

It's June 1977, and any day now the passage of the Keene Act will outlaw all masked vigilantes not sanctioned by the government. In the meanwhile, Rorschach has uncovered a strange and mysterious missing person's case. Together with the help of Nite Owl, the pair has set out to find the missing young girl in Watchmen: The End is Nigh Part 2. Their search takes them deep into the depraved, sleazy corners of the city, and eventually face-to-face with the mysterious Twilight Lady. The seedy underbelly of New York beckons ... will you take the call?

Key Features


    The Journey Continues - Rorschach and Nite Owl once again prowl the back alleys of the city in their quest for justice, and you get to play as either character throughout the game.
    Voice Acting - Patrick Wilson and Jackie Earl Haley reprise their roles as Nite Owl and Rorschach from the film, supplying voiceovers for the crime-fighting characters.
    Fierce Action - Fight and watch the blood fly through loads of gut-wrenching, in-your-face action.
    Game Modes - In addition to a robust single player option Watchmen: the End is Nigh Part 2 features local split-screen co-op multiplayer support, allowing players to bring justice to the city alone or with a sidekick.
    Advanced Audio/Video Support - The game supports in-game Dolby Digital and HDTV 1080i.

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars Review

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I never thought that this game would ever be released outside of Japan, even after it was announced for U.S. release I still couldn't believe it. There are some awesome detailed reviews here already so I'll spare you the specs and just touch on the key points. If you enjoyed Marvel Vs. Capcom 1/2, Capcom Vs. SNK 1/2 then stop reading and buy this if you haven't yet. If you don't have a Wii, buy a Wii and buy this game. You probably won't recognize many/any of the Tatsunoko characters but that really doesn't matter. Those of you that grew up in the 80's might remember the characters from Gatchaman (G-Force in the states), anime freaks will recognize Karas but that's about it. The rest of the lineup haven't had much exposure over here if any...but they are all spectacular characters for the Vs. series. I love the graphics, the cell-shaded 3D is a perfect fit, makes me hopeful for MvC3 using a similar style (it could happen!). There is a ton of unlockable content, the shop system is pretty much like MvC2 was on the Dreamcast, single player is just as solid as multiplayer thanks to that. The gameplay is basically a simplified MvC2, don't worry though, plenty of depth for the hardcore. This is a 2 on 2 set up and you can freely swap your characters out to regain health, just like MvC. You have 3 attack buttons, light/medium/heavy, and a Partner/Assist button to call in your other character. I honestly don't think the strategy or depth is negatively impacted by a 4 button setup at all, once you play for a few hours you'll start to see how complex 4 buttons can be. I've played MvC2 for nearly 10 years, I have a PS3 and I love Street Fighter IV and BlazBlue but I can say without a doubt that this is the most fun I have had with a fighting game since playing Street Fighter 2 in the arcades all those years ago, only time will tell if it will stay fun for as long. Definitely buy an arcade stick too, you won't regret it. Enjoy, see you all online!
