First review!

Title: Borderlands (Original game)
Developer:Gearbox software
Distributor:2K Games
Systems: Multi platform
Story in a nut shell: You (or you and 3 other people) versus monsters, bandits, and a corrupt corporation/military group. These are the only things between you and the legendary and mythical "Vault"

This game is pretty original with its outlook, a first person shooter and a role playing game, it's pretty fun from beginning to end on the PC, the game on the playstation 3 and Xbox 360, got really really really boring around levels 10 and 11 for me. But, it was really fun and there are tons of things to do like blowing things up, driving in a gun that blows things up, and occasionally watching things blow up by themselves! I couldn't really find anything wrong with overall with the game, enjoyable if you're into destroying and killing things.
I give this game 3 separate scores:

PC 5/5
PS3 2.5/5
XboxO 2.5/5

Get this game for the PC, the console versions won't be as fun.

Title Psychonauts
Developer: Double fine Studios
Distributor: Majesco
Systems: Multi Platform

Story in a nutshell: You are a Psychic child that runs away from the circus to go to a camp full of other psychic kids, but there is a sinister plot occurring at the camp, full of psychic bears, giant fish mutant things, and an evil dentist.

This is one of my favorite games of all time, I played this game back on the original Xbox back when it first came out, and on occasion, I'll break that old black and green bad boy out and set things on fire with my buddy Razputin. This is a very original Game, so original that I don't know what category to put it in. This game is so much fun and full of random hilarity, that it deserves a sequel. You hear me Double fine? I WANT PSYCHONAUTS 2!
I gave this game 3 separate scores:
PC: 4/5 (fun, but not as fun as the xbox)
Xbox: 5/5
PS2: n/a (never played the ps2 version)

get it on steam if you can, or go to a local gamestop or something and buy...this...game

Title: 007: Goldeneye
Developer: Rareware
Distributor: Nintendo
Systems: Nintendo 64, PC

Story in a nutshell: You are the one and only James Bond in this amazingly well made game from back in the 90's. This game follows the plot line of the movie Goldeneye. Go to Sexy Beast's movie post about this movie it was posted there

This game started it for me for first person shooters, this game was classic and the only James Bond game that didn't fail horribly. Follows from point to point with the movie. Even with some of the special maps from classic movies like moonraker. Now I know why you are wondering why I put PC up there for "platforms", Someone took the time to map out the entire game and Source it for Steam. From what I'm told, the game is as exact to the original game as possible. All the weapons, all the goofy faces, and all the repetitive computer screens.
This game gets 2 seperate scores
Nintendo 5/5
PC 5/5 (From PMs and conversations from Mr. Wizard)

Title Inuyasha: The Secret of the Cursed Mask
Developer Kumai
DistributorBan Dai
Systems Playstation 2

Story in a nutshell You play a kid who gets sucked through a magical portal that sends you to Feudal Japan, oh and hey, the whole gang is there to help you get back to your time.

This game sucked, it felt like i was playing a version of final fantasy that was made by a rabid inuyasha fan, but they didn't want to make it "too" gory, so they made it cutesy and made the characters look "Kawaii", small body, big heads, GIANT EYES. I mean this game was so bad, i stopped watching the anime. The only thing it was good for is it made me laugh every once in a while because inuyasha turned into kagome every once in a while, so inuyasha sounded like kagome and vise versa. I don't know if it was just my game, or if it affects all the other games.

0/5

Yes, Deus ex please.

And if you haven't played it, you better find 10$, then play from now until you finish

 

[TheyCallMeC]

i should whip out my NES and throw a few reviews up in here

but no, that would require me climbing into the rafters of my garage and digging through old boxes

im not doing that until i move

 

[TremendousLion]

Reviews for old games should be re-reviewed because they age poorly, Goldeneye is a good example, have you seen the control scheme for the N64 version?

Title: Killer Instinct
developer:Rareware
distributor: Midway (Arcade), Nintendo (N64, SNES, Gameboy)
Platforms: Nintendo 64, Arcade
Story in a nutshell: Epic Combos

This game is as violent as they come, it's a fighter game that had some pretty decent graphics for the N64. The SNES version was just like Mortal Kombat 3, if you can say that.
The Gameboy version is basically the same as the SNES but had its own flavor, if you will.
This game still makes me break out my 64 with rumble pak and kick spinal taps butt.

SNES 4/5
N64 5/5
Gameboy: 4/5

Title: Mortal Kombat 3
Developer: Midway (Arcade, Genesis), Sculptured Software (SNES), Eurocom (PS1)
Distributor: Midway
Platforms: Sega Genesis, SNES, Ps1, Arcade
Story in a nutshell:FINISH HIM!!

Mortal Kombat games have been getting gorier and gorier since the release of the original MK back in 1992. But this game was pretty awesome since they introduced the "run" effect to the game, along with new characters, new fatalities, and more revealing clothing for the women characters. This was the game to have if you had a Super Nintendo, a Sega Genesis, or were rich enough to own the Arcade set-up, also if you and your friends were bored on a friday night.

5/5

Title: Pokemon: Red/Pokemon: Blue
Developer: Game Freak
Distributor: Nintendo
Platforms: Gameboy
Story in a nutshell 1.Put masterball in 6th slot of your bag
2. Kill missing no.
3. ????
4. PROFIT

The only reason anyone had a Gameboy, was because of this game. If you didn't have this game, you weren't "Awesome". Between the card game, the original series, and the comics (yes, comics) these games were selling like pizza on free pizza day. The Pokemon hand held games are still the highest selling games for any of the Game Boy systems.

7/5

Title: Hey you, Pikachu!
Developer: Ambrella
Distributor: Nintendo
Platforms: Nintendo 64
Story in a nutshell: you control Pikachu, body and soul


I remember when this game first came out for the N64, I was a crazy pokemon fan back in the day, literally, i had every pokemon game that was out at that time. This game was sort of a leap forward in gaming for me because it involved a microphone that came with the game that you used to talk to pikachu, so that was pretty awesome. But then the game sank into the hole that we all know as the "Used and classic" bins at a game shop. But still pretty fun for children around the age of 6.

3/5

Title: Street Fighter 2: Turbo
Developer: Capcom
Distributor: Capcom
Platforms: SNES, Arcade
Story in a nutshell: It's like I know every combo in the game and he's just pushing the kick button to beat me.

I know Street Fighter has had a bad rap for video games, movies, and overall status. Honestly, this game was really fun back on the Super Nintendo, until I had to fight Ryu and lost every single time I faced him. Still an awesome game, still an awesome franchise if they can ever make a good one.

5/5

Title:Borderlands: The Secret Armory of General Knoxx
Developer:Gearbox
Distributor: 2K
Platforms: PC, Xbox 360, PS3
Story in a nutshell: You (You and 3 friends) take on the General of the Crimson Lance, Then you steal all the weapons you can.

This was a pretty awesome expansion to the Borderlands game. Lots of fun especially with some of the people i was playing with, (Blasphemy and Evo). Basically like doing the first 3 bosses in Icecrown Citadel of world of Warcraft, kill two bosses that involve strategy, then easily down loot ship (or in this case, loot Knoxx).

5/5
