I've been noticing a trend lately with the 3 Major games released this year GTA: San Andreas, Halo 2 and Metriod Prime 2: Echos


You know, I'd say Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is also a "major" release this holiday season, I mean afterall, the game keeps battling back and fourth with San Andreas for being the number one most searched game on GameFAQs.

This is a review asked by Defiant



Name: Burnout 3: Takedown
Platform: (PS2, X-BOX) The Version being reviewed is the X-Box Verson
Publisher: EA Games
Developer: Criterion Games
Genre: Driving/Arcade
Players: 1-2
Release Date: 09/07/2004
Rating: T
Score: 4 out of 5

How often have you gone down the street and thought to yourself "I wish I could just barrel my car into these other smucks" well with Burnout 3: Takedown you can live out your wildest outlaw fantasies with this game. In it the main purpose of this game is to cause mayham and havok by relentlessly crashing your nice car into others to gain points. If you can deystroy the enemies car all the better. One major thing you'll need to learn to master is the Nitro your meater will build up as you do tricks or crash other vehicles. This game has several modes to add to the goodness of it. It has everything from simple races to dual races where your spose to crash your car into a lane of cars to get the most points and thus win. This game is a great stand out from RL simulators like Grand Tursimo or Project Gotham Racing. The damage the cars recieive is so perfect that it is possible for you to tear the top off your car during game play. I only wish that other games could use this kind of damage models in their race games. It gets a T rating because it has violence in it. It gets a 4 out of 5 because even though I find the game fun to play it is hard for me to try and just watch my car as I'm speeding down the road. other than that its a perfect game.

Name: River City Ransom
Platform: NES
Publisher: Technos
Developer: Technos
Genre: Action/Beat'Em Up
Players: 2
Release Date: January 1990
Rating: Made before ratings board took effect
Score: 5 out of 5

The year was 1990 I was staying with my father for awhile I remember the time very good I was 9 and sick that month suffering from a bad case of the flu. During that time I only had the orignal NES thats all I wanted back than also. I was playing a game and my father offered to take me to a brand new store that time it was called "Childrens Company" in it was a paradise litterly nothing but toys and games. I was still very I'll one of my fathers many women that time helped me through the store she was the nicest woman he had besides my mother. I went to the video game section there was a game that caught my eye the cover was very neat nothing like the pixlated drawing that were before it. The name River City Ransom I asked Pam to rent the game for me she did when I got home I put it in my NES I was like "wow!!!" this game was nothing like the previous games I ever played it was a fighting game. In this game the purpose is to safe your girlfriend who was kidnapped by a gang of thugs your spose to fight your way through River City that is controled by the gang. During the game you have to keep your health up and learn new fighting moves like "Brick Fists" and "Dragon Feet" when you learn enough you will face the leader of the gang his name I'm not able to remember right now. This is one of the only good things I could remember from that time of my life. This game was made before the ratings board took controll of the gaming industry. I give it a 5 out of 5 because even though it was a very basic 2d fighter it was well made and it wasn't hard at all this is why I give this little gem a 5 out of 5 I suggest if you have a NES and you see this game get it. You won't be dissapointed. I was able to find some pics for this game I hope they work and if they do I hope you like them.

Here are 3 of the worst ever Movie made to games ever.



Name: Friday the 13th
Platform: NES
Publisher: Ljn Ltd
Developer: Pack-In Video
Genre: Action/Platformer
Players: 1
Release Date: January 1989
Rating: Created before Ratings Board Took Effect
Score: 2 out of 5

As a player of video games I don't mind people who try to make games based on movies but if you do please do a good job at it. Case in Point Friday the 13th for the NES. I'll admit I'm a Jason Voorhees fan but this game did not do anything positive for the character. In this game you play a camp counsler who is spose to make sure all the kids are safe and while doing that your spose to avoid Jason if you don't odds are you'll be killed there are 9 counslers if I remember right they each have their own strengths and weaknesses like some can run fast and some will be better fighters. This game was a poor attempt to make a movie bassed game. Some of the problems I had with it was that the Boss fights were cheap you could land several good shots on Jason and nothing would happen but if he landed one good hit on you, you were dead. Where is the fairness with that. Also when you would fight Jasons mother she is a big floating head if I remembered correctly. Than there are the random apearences that Jason would make you would be walking down the road in the game between camp sites and *BAM* Jason would be there he would litterly run through you killing you instantly. I was like. "WTF Jason doesn't Run!" Another thing is that he would attack you during the day I'm sorry but Jason never attacked during the day in any of the movies he would wait to get you when it was dark it would be more scary that way. As much a fan of Friday the 13th films as I am I can only give this game a 2 out of 5 because even though it was one of the first movie made games for the orignal NES it was just too bad it gets a 2 out of 5 because eventhough the game did suck it did try to make a effort to mimic the Movies. I was lucky to find some images I hope you like them.







Name: Nightmare on Elm Street
Platform: NES
Publisher: Ljn Ltd.
Developer: Rare Ltd.
Genre: Action/Platformer
Players: 4
Release Date: ???
Rating: Before Ratings Board took Effect
Score: 1 out of 5

Ljn had the rights to make horror movie based games like Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm street well were they able to fix with this game that they messed up with Friday the 13th? In my own words HELL NO!!! This game was even a bigger disapointment than Friday the 13th was in this you will play Varrious Teens who take on Freddy Kruger the most evil dream killer ever. You will face different forms of Freddy including his..... Tougne.... thats right his tougne that seems to spit blood if I remember right all I can think is WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? This is Freddy Kruger and your having teens fight his tougne? other characters you will have to fight is Snakes and bats no where in the movies did I remember having to fight Snakes and Bats did anyone who play this game remember that? I couldn't find the date this game was released but I'm guessing it was close to the time that Friday the 13th was made for the NES. This game doesn't have a rating because it was made before the ratings board took control. It gets a 1 out of 5 because this game really just sucks thats all I'll say. I'll let you take a look at the images to see how crapy they are.








Name: Jaws
Platform: NES
Publisher: Ljn Ltd.
Developer: Acclaim
Genre: Action
Players: 1 not sure if more
Release Date: 1987
Rating: Made before Ratings board took effect
Score: 0 out of 5

I'll make the review of this game quick. Ljn made this game, It had real cheap boss battles. The boss was unbeatable. Just a bad game it gets a 0 out of 5.

Name: Resident Evil
Platform: PS, GC (But the verson I'm reviewing is the PS Verson keep in mind even though this game shares the same name with its GC counterpart this is the orignal verson not the remake.)
Publisher: Capcom
Developer: Capcom
Genre: Adventure / Suvival Horror
Players: 1
Release Date: 1996
Rating: M
Score: 5 out of 5

Ever since 1993 when the last real zombie movie was made people been wanting their undead fix enter Resident Evil in this lovely blood and gore game you play either as Jill Valentine or Chris Redfield you will enter a mysterious mansion after being chased by undead dogs through a forrest once you get inside the Mansion you will realize not everything is ok there is no one in this huge house. When you go to examine the dinningroom you will lose your last 3 team members what happened to them? Well I can't tell you if I did than it would spoil the game surfice to say you will do everything from collecting simple Journals to solving mind tearing puzzles. I loved this game so much I gave it to my cousin as a christmas gift back in 2001 after I got my PS. It gets a 5 out of 5 because this was one of the first games to use whole rendered scenes plus the storyline is awesome. Its Rated M because....well because of blood and gore. If you have a Teen and they like Zombies this game would be awesome for them.

Name: Resident Evil 2
Platform: GC, DC, N64, PS, (But the verson being reviewed is the PS Verson)
Publisher: Capcom
Developer: Capcom
Genre: Adventure / Suvival Horror
Players: 1
Release Date: 12/31/1997
Rating: M
Score: 5 out of 5

I didn't even know that Capcom released this jewell untill my cousin Peter told me about it on the bus home from school after he told me about it I was like. "They made a sequal to RE?" well when I was able to get enough money to buy it I went to Electronics Botique and I bought it I got home and I poped it in boy I was surprised to see such a well done game. In this game you can once again be one of two people Leon S. Kennedy who is a rookie police officer for the Racoon Police department or Claire Redfield who is the sister of fammed Stars operative Chris Redfield. The game starts off depending on who you pick if you start as Leon you'll see Leon get to Racoon city after the T - Virus has deystroied the pouplation of that poor city you'll come across a dead body in the street he'll go to investigate it and than will realize something isn't right. If you start as Claire you'll start with her riding into Racoon City on her motorcycle in search for her missing brother after that main part than both her opening sequences and Leons will mesh right together you'll be forced to make your way to the now deserted Racoon Police Department where you'll face everything from Zombies or Lickers (No its not a porno game its actually the name of the creature). Later in the game you'll make your way from the police station to the underground base that umbrella owns and there you'll face a verson of Tyrant who is more human though. Thats all I'll say about the storyline this game gets a 5 out of 5 because its awesome for a sequal one would think that since its a sequal that it would lack what the first one had? well it doesn't and it gets a M for the normal blood and Gore. If you like the RE games I suggest you get this one before its too late.

Name: Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
Platform: GC, DC, PS (But the verson being reviewed is the PS Verson)
Publisher: Capcom
Developer: Capcom
Genre: Adventure / Suvival Horror
Players: 1
Release Date: 10/31/1999
Rating: M
Score: 5 out of 5

If capcom knows one thing they know how to make succesfull sequals and RE 3: Nemesis is just as great as RE 2 is in this game you will take the role of Jill Valentine from RE fame she makes her return to her former home thats right Racoon City. When she gets home she realizes something is wrong and its not the fact that everyone is dead the first thing is she is checking out a alley and she runs across one of her old team mates Brad "Chickenheart" Vickers normaly S.T.A.R.S members aren't afraid of anything well something has Brad scared to the point he breaks the landspeed record for running (thats a joke). Well Jill finds out when she finds Brad at the former Racoon Police station that hes been running from a huge monster code named Nemesis who was thoughtfully released on the city via our friends at Umbrella this guy is almost unstoppable everytime you put him down he keeps comming back and to top it off everytime you put him down he mutates in his first form hes semi human but by the end of the game hes a giant acid spitting slug thing. This game gets a 5 out of 5 because this game did something that almost no games did before when your in a life threatining situtation it gives you a chance to make a decision based on what you do the game changed and if you do things right than the game ends the right way I won't say anymore about that. It gets a M because of the standard blood and Gore if you are a fan of the series you won't want to pass this up and if your lucky enough to get the special addition it will have a demo disk of Dino Crisis I'll be reviewing that one soon.

Name: Star Trek: Starfleet Bridge Simulation
Platform: SNES
Publisher: Interplay
Developer: Interplay
Genre: Simulation
Players: 2
Release Date: ???
Rating: Not sure I think it got a E
Score: 3 out of 5

I have played many of the startrek games for the NES and SNES one of the best ones that I came across was the one named Star Trek: Starfleet Bridge Simulation. In this game you play a cadet who will rise through the ranks at starfleet academy. When you start off you will man a weak old oberth class starship but towards the end of the game you will be in command of the powerfull excellisor (SP) class ships. You missions will range from towing missions to top combat missions. When not in a mission you will have a chance to interact with your classmates and others and during the game you will meet famous starfleet officers. If you do good during the game your last mission will be the Kobayossai Maru test. Your teacher will be no one other than the Famous James T Kirk. One thing I should let you all know is that the people you will meet will be from the original ST show so don't expect anyone from the other shows. I couldn't remember what the rating for the game was but I think it was a E. It gets a 3 out of 5 because eventhough it was very good the game was short I could complete it during one day. Another thing was that the game could be slow and Jerky at times other than that it was pretty good. I'm sorry I couldn't find any images of the game.

This game was quite fun, I was perfect up until the Gorn attacked. Then I got yelled at for being on red alert in a starbase sector. I liked how you actually get to do the Kobiyashi Maru test. That was cool. Naturally, I failed miserably.

I would rate this Game 5 of 5. I loved it and i still play it often. The speed and detail is just amazing and my mouth falls open every time i crash (since you can slow down time to really see the damage well). Plus, a lot of features are unique and brilliant, like the ability too steer your car while its in mid air so you can aim for opponent cars and also the Crash section of the game where you have too create the biggest traffic crash as possible. I real must have.

Name: Doom 3
Platform: (X-BOX, PC) The Verson being reviewed is the X-Box Verson.
Publisher: Activision
Developer: Vicarious Visions
Genre: Action/First person Shooter
Players: 1-4
Release Date: 04/03/2005
Rating: M
Score: 3 out of 5

Doom 3 is a 1st person shooter set in the year 2145 you go to mars as a nameless space marine called there by UAC: Union Aerospace Corperation because of mysterious problems. You will start following a droid to a entrance to the station in search of a worker when you get far enough into the station thats when everything starts to go to hell. litterly, You will start to be attacked by aliens which will later be found out to be Demons from hell that came from a portal that the corperation created for research. It's soon revealed that the operator of the base is causing these demons to enter our universe and its your job to end the threat before they can get to earth. Via some Starships that the Space Marines are sending. You will fight everything from Zombies to Demons with everything from simple marine pistols to the prototype BFG9000 superweapon. This game gets a M for strong Gore and Disturbing images. It gets a 3 out of 5 because there are times that when I played this game that I came into contact with some invisable walls that made it almost impossible to move from one place to another. Plus it gets a 3 out of 5 because it feels dated and that you can't use both the flashlight and weapon at the same time this was a major draw back for me. There were too many times that I would get killed because I couldn't get to the right weapon in time after having the flashlight out.

This review may offense certin people of the USA don't read if your sensitive.



Name: NRA Varmint Hunter
Platform: PC
Publisher: Speedco
Developer: Speedco
Genre: Sports/Hunting
Players: 1
Release Date: 11/08/2004
Rating: T
Score: 0 out of 5

Straight from the files "What the hell were they thinking?" comes a game that no one except inbred rednecks will like it's *Music plays" NRA Varmint hunter. In this travisty to video games you play a hunter who well what else shoots small prarie dogs and gound hogs. Thats all nothing else and that barly works good. I saw my friend playing this game and I was stupid enough to play it once. God this game sucks its not even worthy of getting a full review. So heres what I say, if you buy this game burn it, throw it in acid god throw it into a black hole if you get it. No one will like this game....except rednecks or people from the south. It gets a T for violence and a 0 out of 5 because it sucks thats right this game s-u-c-k-s.
In other words do not buy this game.

Name: Animal Crossing
Platform: GC
Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Nintendo
Genre: Role-Playing
Players: 1
Release Date: 09/15/2002
Rating: E
Score: 5 out of 5

This is a intresting game that Nintendo came out with back in 2002 in it you play a human that lives with animals, I prefer to call this a semi life simulator in it you do everything that a adult does from managing your house to earning profit. You will also take place in city activites the most unique thing about this game is that all of your neighbors and friends are animals. Even your first boss is a animal named Nook, the Racoon. He will be the one who sells you a house when you first get to town but you don't have enough money to pay for it so you have to work for him. With the exception of the Attack of the bees you don't have much violence in this game which makes it perfect for kids of all ages. and Adults also. When you get further into the game you will uncover treasures in the game like orignal NES games such as Excite Bike and Balloon Fight. It's hard to say if this game can be beat because I have never made it to the end if there is one. This game is very good and well thought when they made it. It gets a 5 out of 5 because as far as I can tell it's about as perfect that a video game can be. It has a E rating because there is really no violence in it and everyone can play it. I hope they make a sequal for this game in the future I would love to see how they could expand on it.

Name: Dead or Alive: Ultimate
Platform: X-BOX
Publisher: Tecmo
Developer: Team Ninja
Genre: Action/Fighting
Players: 1-4
Release Date: 10/26/2004
Rating: M
Score: 4 out of 5

When a publisher goes as far to put the word "Ultimate" in their game title they better back it up. I'm proud to say that this is one of those times that they were able to back it up. Dead or Alive: Ultimate is the latest release from the Team Ninja Division of Tecmo. This game boasts better graphics and its Fighting engin (SP) has been enhanced. All around it looks better than DOA 3 not saying that its bad or anything it just looks good. DOA has been around for almost 10 years who would have thought that the first game that came out would have been so pouplar and almost 10 years later it is still one of the core Fighting games ever. DOA Ultimate is actually two games in one, one version is the first one that broke all the rules and the second is it's sequal both have been updated to look more ultimate than did their blocky counterparts. The only downside I could find is that they really didn't add that many characters and they are still targeting people who like nice looking women, I like nice looking women but I prefer a good fighting game also. But I still like this game none the less. It gets a M rating because of the women in it, they do show alittle skin and it does have violence in it. It gets a 4 out of 5 because eventhough it doesn't have many new characters in it, they did a effort to make a updated version of the first two games.

Name: Spy Vs. Spy
Platform: X-Box
Publisher: Global Star
Developer: Vicious Cycle
Genre: Action/Platformer
Players: 1-4
Release Date: 04/06/2005
Rating: T
Score: 0 out of 5

Back in the 80's Spy Vs. Spy was made for the NES that game was awesome it had everything that we all wanted. Fun, traps and tricks plus a fun storyline does this remake of a 15+ year old game have that? in one simple word. NO! it doesn't this game doesn't have any of the glory that its 15 yr old counterpart had. The storyline stinks you can't tell what the objectives are, the control is slughish and it just looks bad. If you want to regain the feeling you had playing the original I suggest you buy the new Nintendo Revoloution when it comes out and just download the original. this game gets a T for violence and a 0 out of 5 because it plain sucks, I think we have another game to add to the list of games that sucks and made it to the 0 out of 5 club.

Name: Playboy the Mansion
Platform: PS2, X-BOX, PC (The Version Being Reviewed is the PS2 version)
Publisher: Arush Ent./Groove Games
Developer: Cyberlore Studios
Genre: Strategy/Tycoon
Players: 1
Release Date: 01/25/2005
Rating: M
Score: 4 out of 5

If your a fan of the magazine named Playboy which I'm sure there are afew of you out there some of you probably wonder. "Gee how would it feel like to run one of the greatest skin mags in the world." Well fear not my eager little go getter you can have your question answered in the amply named Playboy: The Mansion. This game is simular to the sims you will take the Heff's shoes and you will have to build up friendships with nice looking women to get them to grace the cover of your fledgling (SP) magazine. You don't start off as the most pouplar magazine nope you will start from the ground up. As you get further into the game your house will expand and you will get more pouplarity with the famous people who will want to bare their soul (And flesh) on your magazine. This game gets a M because it does have some adult orientated (SP) content and suggestive stuff. It didn't get a AO because unlike "The guy game" this game is done tastefully. It gets a 4 out of 5 because it's fun and easy to learn I hope to see more sequals to this game in the future.

Name: Thirteen
Platform: GC, PS2, X-BOX, PC (The Version being reviewed is the PS2 Version)
Publisher: Ubisoft
Developer: Ubisoft
Genre: Action/first person shooter
Players: 2
Release Date: 11/18/2003
Rating: M
Score: 3 out of 5

This game was released 11/18/2003 to tremendous pouplarity (SP). I'll admit I was really looking forword to this game it had alot of promise. when it came out on the 18th I got it and eventhough it was real good for that kind of genre it was a major dissapointment. The Storyline was real hard to follow, and it seemed that the bosses were real cheap. In this game you play a hero who has no memory of who he is ironicaly his name is that also of the game, Thirteen. The main premise of the game is that like I said before you have no memory of who you are. But one thing is sure the president was assinated and you are on the run. I won't get into it that much I don't want to spoil it for anyone. This game also sports some well known voices such as: David Duchovny, Adam West, and Eve. This game gets a M for Viloence. It gets a 3 out of 5 because eventhough it was bascially a run in the mill first person shooter it was cell shaded which is a nice change. and eventhough the story is hard to follow if you can get into it than it'll keep pulling you back. The downside of the story is that you finally get a clue about who you really are than the game ends and says "To be continued" but what really sucks is that after they said that Ubisoft canned the sequal so I guess you will never know how the story ends. I guess for this reason this game will haunt the halls of the weird forever.

Name: Backyard Wrestling: Don't Try this at Home
Platform: PS2, X-BOX (The Version being reviewed is the X-Box version.)
Publisher: Eidos Interactive
Developer: Paradox Dev
Genre: Sports/Wrestling
Players: 1-2
Release Date: 10/09/2003
Rating: M
Score: 0 out of 5

What happens when you let the worlds crapiest "Rap" band (Insane Clown Posse) make a game you get this pos (Peice of S#it) known as Backyard Wrestling: Don't try this at home. With the popularity of the WWE on the Run compared to such comps as ECW and NWA/TNA, Eidos and Paradox thought they would hire the Insane Crap Posse, I'm sorry they are called Insane Clown Posse. This game doesn't take place in one ring what so ever. Instead you will be playing in different areas such as The Mansion, Telvision Studio and The Truckstop. Thats right a Truckstop. Also you will be playing as such craptastic wrestlers such as. Mad Man Pondo, Tom Dub, Rude Boy, Josh Prohibition, M Dogg 20, and those two imbred white boy clown "Rappers" Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dumba...... sorry I mean Shaggy 2 Dope. You will have different types of matches you can also play but they suck. This game gets a M for violence and Sexual themes. and it gets a 0 out of 5 because this game just plain sucks. It's full of glitches and Bugs, its slopy and just too repetitive. If I had 3 bullets in a gun I would use one bullet for the game disk, one to shoot Violent J and the last for Shaggy 2 Dope. The only thing I got to say is Backyard Wrestling: Don't play this game for the love of god.

Oh god, they made a sequal to a game that has the lowest dredges of socity in it thats right it had the Insane Clown Posse, well guess what? their back with this excuess that passes for a wrestling game. God I wish I was blind that way I didn't have to see how crapy this game is. well lets see whats good about it.... Ok thats enough of the good stuff. This game has some of the same characters from the first BYW game. The new wrestlers are so generic such as, Vic Grimes, Vampiro, Sick Nick Mondo and of course the king Imbreds Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J of the Insane Clown Posse. I left one popular wrestler out from the first and that was Sabu. Well this game had some more popular wrestlers such as: New Jack and Sandman. My question to those two are. Why are you in this game your two of the most popular wrestlers ever, why lower yourself to this? It gets a M for sexual themes and a 0 out of 5 because it's as buggy and twitchy as the last one infact they never fixed what was wrong. I'm begging please don't make anymore of these games. And if someone sees the ICP (Insane Clown Posse) just shoot them. I feel that two drunk monkeys that are suffering from lepercy could do better, Once again I must say Backyard Wrestling: Don't play this game for the love of god!!!.

This is one game that alot of people me being one is looking forword to. In Scarface: The World is Yours you play Tony Montanna. A cuban refugee from when castro emptyed his prisions, he comes to the USA and becomes the Drug lord of Miami in the 1980's this game will follow his rise to fame and ultimate destruction, I hope this game doesn't catch the same stigma that other movie games get and that they are crapy. I guess we will have to wait for this game to come out in 2006 before we can pass judgement. All I got to say is. "Say hello to my little Friend."

I been hearing rumors about these games being made since I was in highschool. I check the gamming magazines I buy every now and than, than I also check out some game sites that I visit. But there is still no word about these games being made. I would love it to happen though. I'm a major fan of snake plikson (SP).

Difficulty: Not Known
Learning Curve: Not Known
Players: 4

Release Date: Second Quarter of 2006, so probably a christmas release

Why I'm looking forword to this game: Because this could probably go into the history of the Spartens and how Master Chief was the last.
Price New: $49.99


Everything that is being said right now is real early rumors but Halo 3 may be the end of the 500 year war between the convinant and earth. Plus it may also go into the history of the spartens and why Master Chief was the last. It is also rumored that this may be the final game that we see Master chief that he may die protecting earth. One thing is for sure, Halo 3 will have to pick up the slack in it's storyline that Halo 2 made by it being so short. Sorry no screen shots yet when I come across them I'll post them.

5 months ago when I heard that Bungie was going to be making a expansion pack I thought. "About damn time." I mean Halo2's single player story really reaked. well when I got a mag about this I found out it's going to be a expansion pack all right. But it's for the Multiplayer mode. I thought. "What the Fu#k." I mean Halo 2's multiplayer was already perfect. Why wouldn't they do anything to fix their one player mode? I'm going to get it anyway just to add to my collection but. I will take my time getting it. The only thing that I am looking forword to is that they are going to release a video about the making of halo 2. So if your getting this because you thought it would add new levels to the story mode. Than I suggest you wait till Halo 3 comes out.
