I can't belive this wasn't made yet so I'll make it.If you want to buy a game but you don't know which one to buy come here. Please leave a review in this format:

Name of The Game:Metroid Prime

System: Gamecube
Genre:Sci-Fi, FPS

Description:If you have an itch for a good first person shooter and love Sci-Fi this is the game for you. It follows the hero Samus Aran on her quest to kill the Metroids and kill any monster that comes in her way. Since it's only $10 used you can get rid of that itch for a very cheap price.

Rating out of 5: 4/5

Seeing as Metroid Prime is one of my Favorite games ever I'll write a more detailed review on the game.

Metroid Prime

Review:

Nintendo has made a reputation for itself for making great games. Especially in the 2D aspect. So the thought of a 3D metroid game seemed a bit odd at the time. Yet, the way the Developers of this game managed to fluidly transform this game from a 2D game to a 3D so magically and flawlessly is enough for awe.

Game series history aside Metroid Prime is still an amazing game by todays standards. The Graphics are beautiful, The music is moody and so so great in every aspect, The Gameplay offers a unique and adventurous experience for a long time. The game is just so memorable in many places. Even now that some time has passed and next generation systems are here I can think back on Metroid Prime and remember memorable sequences/events such as I've felt in games like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Enormous creatures emerging slowly and dramatically, Adrenaline pumping, thrilling, and very memorable Boss battles, and so much more.

Sure the controls aren't that of a typical First Person Shooter but there's the thing, Metroid Prime isn't a typical FPS. I would say it's not a FPS at all. Really the only way I can describe this game is a First Person Adventure game.

Metorid Prime is a game that can be played and enjoyed by just a typical gamer looking for a thrill. But to a true Metroid fan or just someone that can really appreciate and capture the beauty and subtle but amazing aspects of this game it will be a memorable fun experience.

my score:

9.8/10

ill review one:

Name of The Game: Battalion Wars

System: Gamecube
Genre:action/shooter

Description:This was a game that was originally supposed to be the next advanced wars game.
In battalion wars you command your own small unit of soldiers to take on the enemy.
There is a good variety of units ranging from riflemen to bombers.Battalion wars is more of a kiddie version of war,there is no blood and your soldiers just fall to the ground and dissapear.
There is ONLY a story mode which is very hard and will take a week to beat for the casual gamer.
There is no free mode or mutiplayer gameplay of any kind.There is little replay value and no diffuculty setting.
I consider renting this game since it hasnt dropped its price yet


+good gameplay
+big variety
+large story mode
- only a story mode
- little replay value
- very very very very very very very BAD voice acting

rent or buy: rent

authors comments: i think that anyone reading this review should highly consider renting this game.it is very well programmed and will take over 30 hours to beat.but try not to rip your hair out when you barely fail a mission.

Rating out of 5: [glow=yellow,2,300]3.5/5[/glow]

Shadow Of Destiny

Console: PS2
Genre: Adventure, Puzzle, RPG (third-person)

Shadow of Destiny brilliantly tells the story (one of the best that I've seen in a game) of your investigation of your own death. You basically start of leaving from a coffee shop and walk down a street in an elegant town when suddenly you get stabbed in the the back! You have been givin a second chance by destiny travel back in time to unravel and modify events that would ultimately lead to your demise.
It was the single best game that I've played on the PS2. The games main character Eike cant attack or jump but run around and collect items. Though it is pretty short, it will take you a day to complete it, it always brought me back for more. The puzzling story will keep you on your feet for hours until you reach and find out the truth. It was made by the creators of Silent Hill (which I have never played)

The story has multiple endings depending on your actions and events that you have changed in the past that will decide different outcomes about your fate.
Truly original and creative and for about ten bucks.. it should be in any gamers collection!

;D ;D ;D ;D. / ;Dx5

;D ;D ;D ;D. / ;Dx5

Hey that's a nice idea! each ;D counts as 5 and each counts as 1. Do it out of 10. so if it got a 8 you'd do ;D

[kirbykiller4]

what about my + and - idea? Besides that smile thing would be too confusing for noobs.

[agent71]

fine everyone has to give at least 2 + and 2-. You can give more than just 2.you can do the smiley thing if you want also but you have to do the plus and minus thing

[kirbykiller4]

i was just wondering if you liked it or not.i didn't mean to order it to be a rule.

[agent71]

no it's fine I actually like it! it sayss all of the good and bad thigns about the game so it helps a lot

[kirbykiller4]

can i review another one?

[Bran-Man]

I'm bored, I'll do a review of a game...

Game: Burnout Legends
System: DS

This game reminds me of playing the game Rush on the N64 graphic-wise. This game includes cars and tracks from all of my favorite previous Burnout games and a few new ones. This game is challenging and if you have no other racing games for the DS, I would recoomend it. But I got the game the same time as Mario Kart and you can tell which one I prefered. This game does have a crash mode, but the graphics arent that good in it so the crashes look stupid along with the backround. Also, the game doesnt give any stats about the cars like speed, control, or anything else. The cars just have names and you have to figure it out yourself. The game does have DS to DS multiplayer, but I have yet to come across anyone else with this game, so you can tell its unpopular. Whenever someone downloads the game, they end up not wanting to play it again.

I'll probally end up exchanging this game at an EB or game stop soon for a discount on a newer game soon.

I give it a

2.5/5

Review as many games as you want.We Want a lot of reviews in here and Rb_bran what score did you give Burnot?

[kirbykiller4]

Name of The Game:The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker

System: gamecube
Genre:Action adventure

Cost:$25

Description:The Wind waker takes you on a quest to locate an evil bird and save link's sister.
In this game you don't play link,but instead a boy who has the same name,clothes and bad taste in hats.
The games engine is redone,allowing more moves including the parry attack.
The game is vary tedious though as you spend most of your time sailing across a sunken version of the once great hylian land.
the games enemies now have more facial expressions,they can also hit each other and they will do that....alot.

Because of the new fighting engine you will be able to pick the strategy in which you fight your enemies,you can let them kill each other and kill the survivor,make them come at you one at a time.....or be like me and slash around at a huge group of enemies hoping you wont be killed.

The games plot is very good,and the graphics are also good even though the games art style has changed completely.
There are new items and the games huge area will keep you busy(and probably board) for a long time.

The bad thing is how repetitive the gameplay can get,you will have to find 8 pieces of the triforce of courage.
Doing this is a pain in the ass.you must first find a triforce chart,bring it do a retarded midget,then pay out the yin-yang for him to decipher it.you then have a map that shows zoomed up area section and then try to find it on your nine-by-nine grid.

Overall this game is a step up from the last but actual game length is short compared to OOT.
There are only about six bosses including ganondorf.you will probably beat the game with the want for more.

+ new fighting engine
+ more facial emotions for all characters
+ the final sword and shield you get looks badass
+ large area
- travaling from one place to another can quickly get boring
- not as good as OOT
- little replay value

overall score out of five: [glow=green,2,300]4.5/5[/glow]
Buy or rent: Buy

I'll review another one which I like for people who've never played it..

Harvest Moon 64

System: N64
Genre: RPG



Review:


Although this game lacks in most fields of character it is very strong in the game play. The game is very simple in its graphics much like its proceeder from the SNES. The main point of the game is to create a successful farm that your grandfather left you when he died, your responsibility is to maintain your farm animals health and crops. Clearing off your field so that you can plant some crops is your first major task. Getting rid of the rocks and weeds is hard work and even a bit tedious at first. You can buy animals like cows and chickens with money you get from your produce, and you can even upgrade your house with a bathroom, kitchen etc. Another aspect of the game is that its events are based on diff days/months of the calender, it is like real life you must sleep and eat to be healthy! A funny part in the game is that you can actually get drunk and suffer the consequences. And it is especially fun to talk with people and make friends with neighbors in the town, and to subdue a beautiful pixilated girl to become your girlfriend!

Warning: This game is very addictive, I've found myself playing it everyday for a 3 week period during the summer.

This is a very fun and addictive game that somehow made it to the shelfs and kicked but. The RPG-style elements of figuring out what the heck you're supposed to do next is always fun and Harvest Moon gives N64 owners a nice taste of that genre.



- graphics
- sound / no voice acting you have to read
+game play
+story
+interactivity
+a memorable experience


I give this game.. a..

Rating: 8.2/10

[kirbykiller4]

Name of The Game:need for speed: underground 2

System: Gamecube
Genre:racing

Description:this has to be the best street racing game for the gc of 2005.in NFSU2 your character was chased out of town by a rival racing gang after you turned down there offer to join them.

You now are in a city called bayview,where you must start a new life and build your way up in the street racing league.there are hundreds of parts to buy like tires,No2,and of coarse...gigantic sub woofers.
The game has great sound quality unfortunately you will need REAL sub woofers hooked up to your TV to get the most out of every race.
This is a game that you must get if your into racing games.


+ great sound quality
+multiplayer gameplay
+free roaming city
+good soundtrack
+great graphics
- .........i got nothin'

other notes: i prefer that you should play this game with some kind of audio chair.these chairs have built in speakers including a subwoofer.you plug in the audio plugs and your all set.these chairs make you feel like your in your car listening to a blaring radio.i prefer an X rocker.

buy or rent:Buy

X-Men Legends
Console: Ps2 (its out for other systems aswell)

Obviosly you play as the X-men. You acompany a party of up to 4 players, who can be played either by your friends (wich is very fun) or the computer can play the other 3 characters for you while you are the other 1 character. You basically scramble through levels killing all enemys, completeing goals, and helping civilians. The environment is almost all interavtive were u can destroy it, with the possibility of getting items or money. Your characters level up as you kill more enemys, and gives you more stat and skill points to use were you want them. The story revolves around fending off magneto and his team as well as the human army wich doesent like mutants very much Overall i thought it was a fun game for the time i played it, i think i spent 20-25 hours to beat it but it was fun ;D

Rating : 4/5
