Review: La Pucelle: Tactics - PS2

Title: La Pucelle: Tactics
Platform: PS2
Author: Pickle
While La Pucelle is the simpler and lesser of the Nippon Ichi family, that is not a bad thing. This is a great game to start the genre on. I highly recommend it to add to your library.

Review: Madden NFL 2005 - DS

Title: Madden NFL 2005
Platform: DS
Author: Snowcone
I can't advocate that you should run out and buy it as the GBA version is probably a little better. But if you have a DS and want to see what the future of portable football has to offer, you may want to give it a shot.

Review: MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf - Xbox

Title: MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf
Platform: Xbox
Author: Snowcone
I enjoyed it, but unless you are a big fan of mech games, this is going to be a rental for you. Mech fans will probably love the changes and fully enjoy conquest mode. The rest of you can carry on with business as usual.

Review: Viewtiful Joe 2 - PS2

Title: Viewtiful Joe 2
Platform: PS2
Author: Milkdud
When I heard Joe say, "Henshin-A-Go-Go, Baby!" for the very first time in Viewtiful Joe, I rolled my eyes and nearly shut the game off right there.

Review: Viewtiful Joe - PS2

Title: Viewtiful Joe
Platform: PS2
Author: Milkdud
Viewtiful Joe is not the greatest game I have ever played, but it is an enjoyable one. I don't have much experience with 2-D side-scrollers, but this was a nice change of pace from the hugely-involved questing RPGs.

Review: Sprung - DS

Title: Sprung
Platform: DS
Author: Snowcone
Sprung and the dating sim genre will probably never catch on here in the U.S., but if you want a highly original game that will guide you through a series of enjoyable romantic adventures, then definitely give Sprung a shot.

Review: Dynasty Warriors (Import) - PSP

Title: Dynasty Warriors (Import)
Platform: PSP
Author: Ed Zitron
While good-looking and fun, this game is samey and shoddy at all the wrong times. It's a crying shame that more effort wasn't put in and that niggling errors summon dashed hopes upon us.

Review: Puzzle Bobble Pocket (Import) - PSP

Title: Puzzle Bobble Pocket (Import)
Platform: PSP
Author: Ed Zitron
Puzzle Bobble is both fiendishly hard and enormously addictive.
