REVIEW #14 Primal Rage (1994); Platform: Multi-Platform



The year is 1994, and Atari releases "Primal Rage". A game for me that was rather nostalgic. I had to dig it out tonight and give it a try again, still as fun as always.

Graphics, were okay, depending on the console you use, but as always for games from then, the arcade was the best ... I'll show examples from each platform here.
 
 
Graphics Rating: 3/5
 
I really loved the story to this game. A meteor strikes the Earth, creating a post-apocalyptic war where humans are a second race and dinosaurs take over and create a new "Urth" and they fight to see who will be in charge of Urth.
In my opinion, I think it missed a few things, but it's a game they can't tell everything.

Storyline Rating: 4/5

Overall this game is a BUY IY, PLAY IT and THINK FOR YOURSELF kind of game, I know these kind of games aren't for everyone, but my review is ...

OVERALL RATING: 3.5/5

REVIEW #13 Sonic the Hedgehog (2006); Platform: Multi-Platform






Graphic wise, I was really disappointed it was not the usual you would expect on the PS3 or 360.

Graphics Rating:2/5

The story I wasn't to fond of, it seemed under-developed in a lot of places in the game.

Storyline Rating: 1.5/5

Overall the game was barely playable, it seemed unfinished and buggy. For those of you how have played any of the modern sonic games the dialog is awful, the cheese factor in it makes me want to shoot myself in the foot.

OVERALL RATING: 1.5/5

REVIEW #12 Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time (2013); Platform: Sony PlayStation 3



The graphics for this game are average, not bad and not great

In the story, the pages of the Thievius Raccoonus are literally erasing, so you have to travel through time to get your history back befoire it's too late

Storyline Rating: 4.5/5

The game is really good, I've always been a fan of the Sly series and this is a good addition to it

OVERALL RATING: 4/5

REVIEW #11 Schizm - Mysterious Journey (2001); Platform: PC


The graphics for this game are just beautiful, very clean, crisp and with very imaginative settings.

Graphics Rating: 4.5/5

Basically, the story of the game is Sam and Hannah are taking supplies to a scientific expedition on a planet called Argilus, when you are near Argilus, they lose control and escape by using the escape pods. Sam and Hannah are split up know and you are on what looks like an uninhabited planet. Sam is on a floating city made by balloons or airships. Hannah is in a town on a big, free-floating island. at first you cant talk to each other, but later you will be able to.

anyways what you need to do get both Sam and Hannah to Matia's Zone and to do this you have to solve puzzles and get Argilan technology to work. When Sam and Hannah are together at Matia's Zone you both need to work together to do the last puzzle and leave, and answer the riddle of what happened to the Argilans.

Storyline Rating: 5/5

This game is a lot like Myst, the Visuals and sound quality are awesome and the attention to detail is fabulous. I REALLY recommend this game

OVERALL RATING 4.5/5

REVIEW #10 SimCity (2013); Platform: Windows PC


Graphic wise this game is pretty good and basically is an average game graphics wise.

Graphics Rating: 2.5/5

The storyline to this game ... well there isn't really any... you build a city, that's about it

Storyline Rating -/-

I have A LOT to say about this. EA decided it was a good idea to make this game a 100% DRM game... there is no offline-play, not even for single-player. EA wants about $60 for this game and they REFUSE to give refunds if THEIR server won't let you play or if yo have an unstable connection, so pretty much EA is saying "Thank you for the money now fuck off." So due to their HUGE mistake on this game EA has lost many loyal customers. The slogan EA posted about SimCity is "SimCity is smarter than you." What?!?! I've had hamsters smarter than this game I'm sorry to say, well, not really, but EA, you made SimCity the first game on my site to ever receive the following rating.

OVERALL RATING 1/5

REVIEW #9 God of War III (2010); Platform: Sony PlayStation 3



This is the first game I owned for the PS3 and it is BAD ASS!!! in my opinion that is, but I need to learn to do these reviews and keep my opinion out of it, I did a pretty good job doing so on most of my reviews. Anyways, the graphics are typical of many PS3 games... almost photo realistic... and AMAZING backgrounds and cutscenes. I mean, this game even won an award for Best Graphics!

Graphics Rating: 5/5

The storyline of this game is so into depth I can't really explain the story on here without messing it up so I'll say, It is SUPURB, but it does sometimes feel like there's a gap where something should have happened, and the attention to detail on Greek Mythology is AMAZING!

Storyline Rating: 5/5

All in all, I could not for the life of me put this game down until I completed it. So it is addicting.

OVERALL RATING: 5/5

REVIEW #8 Gopher (1982); Platform: Atari 2600


I like this game, the 8-bit graphics of this make me smile. you can see the face of the farmer!!!

Graphics Rating: 4/5

This game doesn't really have a story. You are just a farmer that is protecting carrots from a Gopher by filling in his holes while he digs out and taunts you.

Storyline Rating: 4/5

Anyways, this game is really fun and addicting. You just love to hate that gopher when he taunts you, kind of like that dog from Duck Hunt that laughs at you that you just want to shoot. This is also a game you really need to move fast at, otherwise you will not succeed.

OVERALL RATING: 4/5

REVIEW #7 Pitfall! (1982); Platform: Multi-Platform



This is one of the many games that was an innovator. that must be why it was released on all the consoles such as Atari 2600, ColecoVision, Intellivision and many home computer systems and most recently on Android. The Graphics are not bad on the Atari, the Greens were darker. The Intellision Graphics seemed to look too bright and unnatural. ColecoVision is just a weird color scheme and the home computer graphics vary. Again 8-Bit graphics, but awesome.

Graphics Rating: 3/5

You are Pitfall Harry, it is your job to find the 32 treasures in the jungle in 20 minutes.But with obstacles, such as Crocodiles, Scorpions etc.

Storyline Rating: 4/5

All the screens are exactly the same with minor differences such as A vine may be in one and Crocodiles in the next, but all in all it is a great game by Activision. 

OVERALL RATING: 4/5

REVIEW #6 Cruise Ship Tycoon (2003); Platform: Windows PC

http://www.gamershell.com

The graphics are actually not bad, but they are not great. The animations it has for hitting and iceburg and such are quite cheesy. There is one thing though that bothers me, some of the rooms don't seem to fit right like some walls are taller than others and it looks... not good.

Graphics Rating: 3/5

Like a lot of the tycoon games there is no story, you just build stuff.

Storyline Rating: -/-

The game does have it's flaws but it is a pretty addicting game and is VERY good time killer.

OVERALL RATING: 3/5

REVIEW #5 Conker's Bad Fur Day (2001); Platform: Nintendo 64

http://www.roms-search.com

So much nostalgia in this game for me. when I was 7 years old, I remember I thought this was a kids game, I got home and played it, and I soon found out it wasn't since the first objective of the game was to get rid of a hangover. The game was published by Rareware (one of my favorite in my opinion)and this game had exceptionally good graphics for the Nintendo 64, actually I have heard that it might have been the best looking game for the console.

Graphics Rating: 5/5

The story is about Conker the Squirrel who eventually becomes leader of all the land and the game is actually the story of how he became leader and in one day! The quote at the beginning said "And it all started... yesterday..."
Overall the story is good

Storyline Rating: 3.5/5

All I really have to say is it is a HILARIOUS game and the best boss is by far The Great Mighty Poo. Oh and there is a remake for the Xbox, but its not the same as the original.

OVERALL RATING: 4/5
