Even if you're one of those people who have completely written off the Lode Runner series, Battle Lode Runner may make you a believer. Combine all of the puzzle solving of the original Lode Runner wi...

I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again: The Olympics suck! I'm not just talking about the games based on the Olympics, I'm talking about the event itself. It's full of games nobody cares...

Although Capcom can't count past three, that hasn't stopped the mighty company from using their Street Fighter characters in all sorts of weird ways. One of the strangest Street Fighter spin-offs has...

How many times must we play through The Godfather?? This is our fourth time through EA's crime simulator and it's not getting any better. The good news is that this is still a solid action...

Some call it the last good game for the PlayStation 2, but anybody that has played it already knows it as one of the greatest games of all time. It's God of War II, the brutally violent action game t...

Who needs a crash mode when your races are this exciting? This is Burnout Dominator, the quasi-sequel to Burnout Legend. If you're a fan of balls to the wall racing with a great deal of variety...

Talk about a slut, Sonic the Hedgehog has been on more game players than Paris Hilton! But let's not dwell on what he might have contracted from the Neo Geo Pocket Color and GameCube. Instead we sho...

While it's easy to make fun of most Nokia N-Gage games, Gilmmerati is one of the few that is actually worth your time. It's a pseudo-3D racing game that is full of hilarious voice acting and one craz...

First-person shooters just aren't meant to be played on the portable game systems, but that's not going to stop people from trying. This is Xybots, an Atari Lynx game that tries really hard to duplic...
