You Love It, I Hate It - Halo

Before every fanboy that simply sees the title and simply gets ready to rant in the comments does so, I implore you, please read this first. Halo is a much drooled over title and for (allegedly) good reason. At least I assume so because...

 
 
 

You Love It, I Hate It - Chrono Cross

I'm hoping this will be a new series I can get going and I'm starting with something that, as will be a trend in this series, people seem to universally love, but I just can't "get:" Chrono Cross. Now initially, I didn't like this game ...

 
 
 

A Xeno Retrospective

Xenogears was a fan-fucking-tastic game. In fact, if you'll recall it won RPG of the Year for me that year. I cannot honestly speak more higher of it. If you like scifi, martial arts, giant robots, anime, RPGs, oldschool Squaresoft, or...

 
 
 

Obscurity: Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land

There's a thing to be said for blue disc PS2 titles...and that thing is they don't last. I only have 2 and for some reason, both of them have the same problem: you put them in and it doesn't matter how clean they are, they GRIND and POP...

 
 
 
 
 

Relaxation: Starting Fresh

So about a month ago I was desperately trying to finish up Shin Megami Tensei - Digital Devil Saga - Episode 1 (say that three times fast) and I was rapidly getting bored. "No," I thought, "I must finish this! I want to hurry up so I ca...

 
 
 

How To Not Suck At Team Fortress 2

I'm going to assume you're reading this for one of three possible reasons. One, you're still new to Team Fortress 2 and you're not really sure what you're doing, frustrated, etc. Two, you're not new, but you could use some pointers. Or...

 
 
 

RPG of the Year - 2007

Surprisingly, there weren't as many games this year, but all the same this year was AWESOME. There are 39 games. This was actually a tough year as far as deciding #4 and #5, though the top 3 was obvious even from the get-go. Let's do thi...

 
 
 

RPG of the Year - 2006

Holy shit damn, what a huge year! 57 games! And yes, there was a Sega Genesis game released this year. This is also one of those awkward years where a lot of developers were jumping to the new systems while other ones were still very uns...

 
 
 

RPG of the Year - 2005

Now, at first glance, this seems like a huge year. After all, there are 50 games! This was certainly a strong year for RPGs in that there were a LOT, but not so much in terms of quality. I'm confident in my top 5, but the runner ups...oh...

 
 
 

RPG of the Year - 2004

You think last year was a big year? Ha ha ha! This year, there are 49 games! Madness! Let's do this thang! #5 - Fable (Xbox) Let's get the obvious out of the way. Yes, it's very short. No, it didn't quite live up to everything Mol...

 
 
 

RPG of the Year - 2003

This is a HUGE year. There are 45 games! This is also the first year we're seeing a mobile game on the list. While you'd think this would make it hard for me to choose, just a simple glance at this list and I can already tell what's what...

 
 
 

RPG of the Year - 2002

This was a surprisingly dry year, at least compared to last year. There are only 18 games this time and sadly, not all of them are great. Let's hop into it! #5 - Elder Scrolls 3 - Morrowind (PC) ...I am not a fan of this game. And ye...

 
 
 

RPG of the Year - 2001

Back by popular demand that I just happened to find under the sofa, I present yet another GoTY article! This was a tough year. I mean, REALLY tough. It's bad when you've played half the games on the list and LOVED them. Yeah, THAT bad. ...

 
 
 
 

FPS of the Year - 1999

And here we are...all the way to 1999. It's been a long road, but it's finally come to an end. Aliens versus Predator Goddamn, could it be any faster? Well, so far it reminds me of what was done in the newest AvP, which is kinda cool....

 
 
 
 

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things - Episode 5

What the hell are you reading my intro for? Radiata Stories - Just About Any Cutscene Wherein Jack Gets To Be An Ass Radiata Stories is a brilliant, but flawed title. One of the best features in it, however, is its character design, in...

 
 
 
 

RPGs - Artificially Padded Slow Adventure Games?

Working Designs and Game Arts are usually very good RPG companies (well, WAS in WD's case), but there are two games in particular that illustrate to me that either they didn't know what they were doing or didn't care: Lunar Dragon Song and...

 
 
 

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things - Episode 4

You know what's up. Let's go. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World - The Game - Stage 1 While Scott Pilgrim is an awesome game and competent all around brawler, well...let me just tell you my story. So I noticed this game the same day Shank ca...

 
 
 

Semi-Annoyed Video Game Nerd

And here's the list... *** Gamecube *** Baten Kaitos - Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean Baten Kaitos Origins Fire Emblem - Path of Radiance Legend of Zelda - The Wind Waker Resident Evil 4 Skies of Arcadia Legends Star Fox Adventures *...

 
 
 
 

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things - Episode 3

You know the drill. This is not spoiler free. Some content within are MAJOR spoilers that might occur toward the end of a particular game or open it up entirely. If you see a game you've played, but not very much, or a game you'd be inte...

 
 
 

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things - Episode 2

Back by popular demand (and also I'm kinda bored and burnt out), here's episode 2! Before I continue, I realized in my last one that pretty much every one of my choices went something like "Well, this happened, then something else, but I c...

 
 
 

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things - Episode 1

It dawned on me that all throughout doing RPG and Adventure Game of the Year I didn't really get to highlight one of the major things that makes me want to play games again regardless of how many times I've beaten them or haven't: certain ...

 
 
 

FPS of the Year - 1998

This one's a pretty easy year, actually. Sure, there were some good games this year, but also a bunch of really shitty ones. I think we'll all agree on #1, but the other great ones this year definitely deserve your interest. Let's go! B...

 
 
 

FPS of the Year - 1997

This is yet another big year that houses some of my all-time favorite FPSs. And that is exactly why though it was obvious what my #1 is for this year, it was heartbreaking to not be able to do the same for so many other great titles. ANYW...

 
 
 

FPS of the Year - 1996

...Fucking hell. I was worried this might happen. Okay, as a general disclaimer, there are some serious BIG games this year...many of which would normally be #1, no problem. I'm confident in my #1, however, especially as it's my favorite...

 
 

About gunsageone of us since 2:58 PM on 04.11.2008

I've been gaming since 1987. I used to be a big Nintendo fanboy, then Square jumped the shark, so I followed. Eventually I realized neither Square nor Nintendo were the only companies out there worth following and my collection more or less speaks for itself now. I love to meet up with people on XBL, though I haven't done much online with the Wii. I've also been writing game review articles since 2004 on the old Project Wonderboy, then Morphine Nation, and now back to the new Project Wonderboy and various other sites.

I also help out in writing for a local videogame store website (VGMX). Not much else to say, really, when it comes to gaming. I wouldn't consider myself an expert, but I would say I'm experienced.
