Donkey Konga 2 By Andrew Thivyanathan \| 07/10/05 The original <i>Donkey Konga</i> proved to be a critical and commercial success. It seemed that everyone-- players of all ages and all gaming skill levels--enjoyed drumming to Nintendo's first rhythm game. The game is played by beating on a pair of special conga controllers. The first... Read More	Donkey Kong Jungle Beat By Andrew Thivyanathan \| 07/07/05 Though Nintendo is often known for doing things a little differently, Donkey Kong Jungle Beat is still one of the stranger projects to come out of their Japanese studios. 2D platformers are somewhat scarce these days, so Jungle Beat can be a fairly refreshing experience. Players guide Donkey Kong... Read More
The Urbz: Sims in the City By Amber Meadors \| 07/06/05 The Urbz: Sims in the City is a step away from the classic Sims Suburbia we've all grown to know and love. In The Urbz it's not so much about what you know anymore, it's all about WHO you know. Popularity is key in this Sims game. To get anywhere in the game you must first rub... Read More	EverQuest 2 By Greg Meadors \| 07/06/05 If you poll 100 people and ask them to name a MMORPG (massively-multiplayer online role-playing game), the name EverQuest will come up more than once. While EQ was not the first game of this type, arguably it took the genre to a whole new level. When people actually lose their job because they... Read More
YS: Ark of Napishtim By Lorne Reams \| 06/20/05 Being a huge fan of the Y's series, I eagerly popped Y's Ark of Napishtim into my PlayStation 2. Going into it, I knew that it was going to be short as that's the main complaint of most reviews. After my time with Ark of Napishtim, I can validate this complaint, as I was able to beat the game in... Read More	Arthur McLean's Mercury By Kaleb Rutherford \| 05/09/05 When Sony announced the PSP, many skeptics were fearful that the console would simply be used for quick PlayStation 2 ports that offered little or no original gaming. While some of the PSP titles can be called PS2 ports, there are a great number of titles for the platform that can't be found on any... Read More
Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction By Greg Meadors \| 04/18/05 At first glance <b>Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction</b> might seem to be just another Grand Theft Auto wanna-be, but it manages to generate a generous amount of elbow room for itself in the genre. Instead of wanton destruction and thuggery, it focuses on a hired soldier who... Read More	Klonoa 2 Dream Champ Tournament By Kaleb Rutherford \| 04/13/05 Klonoa is one of the franchises Namco first started on the PlayStation. They continued it on the PS2 several years later before moving the series to the Game Boy Advance. Klonoa 2: Dream Champ looks and plays just like the first one. In fact, the game has been out for a long time... Read More
Metal Gear Acid By Kaleb Rutherford \| 04/04/05 Solid Snake isn't new to portable systems. Snake first appeared on the Game Boy many years ago with a title that played surprisingly well. Excitingly, for the first time on any handheld system, Konami has brought Snake to a handheld in full 3D. This isn't just a standard port of... Read More	NBA Street V3 By Antoine Byrd \| 04/01/05 It's not everyday that I'm excited to open up a new sports game, especially during the month of February. But all that changed when I opened up my brand-spanking new copy of NBA Street vol.3. I will tell you this right now, after playing this game for countless hours by myself and with friends,...

Lumines By Kaleb Rutherford \| 03/28/05 Tetsuya Mizuguchi is one of the great game developers we have, and has been making some of the best puzzle games for sometime now. His games link music and gameplay to an extent that they almost seem fused together. Just look to REZ and Space Channel five as his past achievement to understand... Read More	Yoshi Touch & Go By Andrew Thivyanathan \| 03/24/05 When <i>Balloon Trip</i> appeared at E3 as a "tech demo," I thought it was pretty fun. It became the full game <i>Yoshi Touch & Go</i>, and as Nintendo started to release information about it, I was starting to get excited for what would be Nintendo's first original game... Read More
Musashi Samurai Legend By Kaleb Rutherford \| 03/24/05 Back during the later years of the PlayStation's life, Square brought us a mysterious new title called Brave Fencer Musashi. The game as fun and was one of the first titles to move Square from their normal franchises. It may have been a few years since we last saw Musashi but he is... Read More	Fullmetal Alchemist and the Broken Angel By Kaleb Rutherford \| 03/24/05 Shown at the 2004 E3 show in Square Enix's booth, Fullmetal Alchemist is a title that showed a lot of promise. This Action RPG is based on the Anime series seen on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim and is another title released by Square Enix that seems to be lacking "the magical touch of Square." Read More
Gretzky NHL By Kaleb Rutherford \| 03/23/05 989 Sports took a year off developing a lot of their titles in order to improve the overall quality of their games. Gretzky NHL was one of these titles and it came out on the PlayStation 2 last year. While the game was an improvement, it failed to deliver the same intensity as the 2K series' Hockey... Read More
