Review: Mario Party 6 - Gamecube

Title: Mario Party 6
Platform: Gamecube
Author: Snowcone
While not the best party game I have ever played (an honor that belongs to Kung Fu Chaos), Mario Party 6 definitely has a place in my library.

Review: Dr. Mario - GBA

Title: Dr. Mario
Platform: GBA
Author: Snowcone
Being a rabid fanboy of Dr. Mario gives me a slight bias, but having a portable version of this fantastic game is well worth the $20

Review: Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault - PC

Title: Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault
Platform: PC
Author: Pretzel
This is definitely a must game for you WWII shooter fans. With great gameplay, historical accuracy, great graphics and sound, this game is a keeper. For history buffs, the director's edition will have more historical content and extra features.

Review: Goldeneye: Rogue Agent - Xbox

Title: Goldeneye: Rogue Agent
Platform: Xbox
Author: Snowcone
My recommendation is to leave this one on the shelf. If you absolutely must try it, then I implore you to simply rent it or convince a friend that it is a good game and ridicule him/her as you two sluggishly plow through the game.

Review: Street Fighter Anniversary Collection - PS2

Title: Street Fighter Anniversary Collection
Platform: PS2
Author: EtDragon
All in all, despite the lack of bonus material on the new Anniversary Collection disc, it is still a solid purchase if you are a [i]Street Fighter[/i] fan, or if you simply enjoy video games with 2D fighters.

Platform: Xbox
Author: Pickle
Greg Hastings’ Tournament Paintball is a winner, and an FPS on a console I actually like…*gasp*…I know.

Review: Street Fighter Anniversary Collection Controller - PS2

Title: Street Fighter Anniversary Collection Controller
Platform: PS2
Author: EtDragon
With the $20 price point, there really isn’t a strong reason not to snatch one of these up. Be warned, you may never want to take it out of the box.

Review: Dead or Alive Ultimate - Xbox

Title: Dead or Alive Ultimate
Platform: Xbox
Author: EtDragon
The bottom line here is that if you already hate the DOA series this set is probably not going to make you suddenly fall in love with it. Adversely, if you are a DOA freak, then you must have this game.

After the hype and wait, Halo 2 is an excellent game with countless new features and unique gameplay that make it one the best FPS games today.

Review: Jak 3 - PS2

Title: Jak 3
Platform: PS2
Author: Snowcone
Fans of the series will have no reason for not already owning this one, and newcomers should wet their appetite with this and then jump back to the original purely for the story. To me, this one is a no-brainer.

Review: Asphalt Urban GT - DS

Title: Asphalt Urban GT
Platform: DS
Author: Snowcone
If you are a fan of arcade racers, then you have to check out Asphalt Urban GT. It keeps things simple and straightforward, while delivering a great on-the-go racing experience.

Review: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005 - Xbox

Title: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005
Platform: Xbox
Author: Underscore
The game is visually stunning, the players are projected with great detail, and the amount of visual customization you can do to the course and player is immense.

Review: Spider-Man 2 - DS

Title: Spider-Man 2
Platform: DS
Author: Snowcone
In a nutshell, Spiderman 2 does a great job of showing off some of the new aspects of the DS and a poor job of demonstrating others-like the touch screen.

Review: Need For Speed Underground 2 - Xbox

Title: Need For Speed Underground 2
Platform: Xbox
Author: Pretzel
While Need for Speed Underground 2 holds a lot of features and endless racing hours, you still might find yourself tired of roaming the streets in explorer mode and also find yourself laughing at the hideous dialogue by some of the voice talent.
