I know, I know... a lot of you probably think I'm nuts for acknowledging this one but I gotta say, even though this is absolutely NOT one of the best games you will ever play, it does have a delightful feel to it at times. What I mean by that is that it's got a retro twist to it, especially if you are a fan of the Fist of the North Star manga series. Hit the jump to read more.

Don't make the mistake of calling it Metroid Prime: Other M. This is absolutely not a Prime title; but it's definitely a Metroid title. Hit the jump to read the review.

REVIEW: Shank

While at the Game Developers choice award show in San Francisco, there were so many indie titles that hoped would show up on home systems. But when it came to Shank, I prayed more fervently than for any other. One of the reasons is that Shank is one of my most personal favorite genres; 2D side-scroller. You don't see many of those anymore, especially one this beautifully animated. Click ahead to read more.

REVIEW: Sin and Punishment: Star Successor

Honestly, the Wii has never been short on fun. The only problem is that not very many 3rd party devs make it their main concern to make some awesome Wii games which leaves Nintendo to pick up the slack. That being said, Nintendo has always come in with the big guns for their systems and Sin and Punishment: Star Successor is definitely a big gun. Check the review!

REVIEW: Rocket Knight

I've always loved the Rocket Knight series. I still have both Rocket Knight Adventures for Sega Genesis and Sparkster for the Super NES. The games are freakin' awesome and it's a fair bet that gamers would want to see them available on the Virtual Console or on Xbox LIVE. But when Konami announced that a "brand new" game featuring Sparkster would be released, I said to myself "I have to get a hold of this one." And sure enough... I did.
