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 

Graphics Rating: 3.5/5

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

REVIEW #4 Call of Duty Black Ops II (2012); Platform: Multi-Platform

 

 

Ever have a game all kids want, but your afraid if you let them have it they'll end up violent? Well, this is that game. If you haven't heard of Call of Duty Black Ops 2, then I have two things to say to you...

1. How's it like living under a rock? Uncomfortable I bet.
2. It's basically a military-themed first-person shooter.
Now those of you parents who want to get it for your children, PLEASE know your child before you buy it, if they can handle violence, than okay. If not, this is not the game for them. I'd say ages 12-14 it depends how mature the child is. I think if your 15+, they can handle it. Anyways back to the review, The graphics are excellent! the best I've seen in a long time.

Graphics Rating: 5/5

Does it have a story? answer... Yes! It's set in the time period of the 1960s (Cold War) and its about the memories of a special ops solider while he's under INTENSE interrogation. you really have to play the rest of the series first or some of the story really doesn't make much sense. Anyways that's just a really quick sum up of it, but the game has two storylines and they are both really good.

Storyline Rating: 4/5

Gameplay in my opinion looks best on the PS3, but it's really hard to notice a difference unless you have all three turned on at the same time looking at them. All platforms have decent controls except for that on the Wii U. 

The game overall was a superb game, Excellent graphics, Excellent Story, and the attention to detail was great. I felt like I was right there the whole time playing it, Even though first person shooters are not really my thing, this game was great!!!

OVERALL RATING: 4.5/5

REVIEW #3 Zombies Ate My Neighbors (1993); Platform: Multi-Platform

They're coming to get you!
Gotta love those classic zombie games.
This is another personal favorite of
mine. Released in 1993, even though it had 16 bit graphics, they were exceptionally good because they used darker color schemes than a lot of the other video games of the time and it made the picture seem more creepy to go with the genre. The sound was also real crisp and was superb for the time.

Graphics Rating: 4.5/5

The story isn't really developed all you know is that there are zombies and a whole bunch of other monsters, but you never find out how they got there. Anyways there are two playable characters and it's your duty to rid the world of these monsters and save as many survivors as you can.

Storyline Rating: 3/5

Zombies Ate my Neighbors has so many greats that I really can't sum it up in one post. The game itself parodies many classic horror flicks of the time which makes it all the better. There are many special weapons you can use (like a push lawnmower) to kill all those zombies, my personal favorite is the potion that makes you into a big monster thing and you can kill the zombies and other creatures with one swing. Anyways I recommend this game greatly.

of the two versions, sound quality is better on the Genesis, but the graphics seem to be more crisp on the SNES. Gameplay wise, the controls feel SOOOO much better on the SNES than the Genesis, I think it's because, in my opinion I like the SNES layout of the controllers a lot better.

OVERALL RATING: 4/5

REVIEW #2 CTR (Crash Team Racing) (1999); Platform: Sony PlayStation

Photo from: http://i2.listal.com

Who hasn't remembered PlayStation's early days when their mascot was Crash Bandicoot? well, most people remember the strategy/Adventure games of Crash, but a very under-rated game is Crash Team Racing (CTR) the Graphics are 32 bit, but even now they are still pretty good.

Graphics Rating: 4/5

Now for the story, an alien named Nitros Oxide. His plan was to take over the earth if no one is faster than him. but heres the kicker... Crash works with Cortex and obviously win.

Storyline Rating: 4/5

Other stuff... There are many different race tracks in the game to play and it even has the feature to create your own track!! In the game play there are Power-ups that will make anyone chuckle It is a Really good game.

OVERALL RATING 4/5

REVIEW #1 Bloody Roar (1997); Platform: Sony PlayStation.

Photo from: http://www.emuparadise.me/

In 1997, Bloody Roar was released. It is a unique fighting game, that had MANY sequels. Personally, it is my favorite game, but I'm not reviewing for me, I'm review for you. anyways it is ran on 32 bit graphics, which to today's standards SUCK, but people who are nostalgic about the PS1, the graphics are still quite good.

Graphics Rating: 3/5 

Next I'm going to go over the storyline of it. There really isn't one you just fight.

Storyline Rating: 1/5

Now everything Else... Its basically you fight and when you build up your "Beast" you become a mutant animal things and fight more. it has some unlockables that are pretty badass. The Characters tho are quite boring and really have no backstory. The over all satisfaction of the game is also dragged down by the soundtrack, It's REALLY bad, and almost corny 90s rock kinda stuff. They are so bad they become good in a bad way. if you play, you better get used to the COMP. using the same move over and over again. It is an enjoyable game, but in small doses.

OVERALL RATING: 2.5/5
