Pokémon Pinball – Consumer Guide

Two fields may seem minuscule to some, but rest assure since the concept of Pokémon depends on having only a red and blue version. Adding more would only weaken that very fabric that makes the formula a success. There is also plenty of diversity in the gameplay to keep things […]

Ape Escape – Consumer Guide

Parents should definitely put this near the top of their list for kids. Ape Escape is not a technical wonder. Veteran gamers will certainly be turned off by the primitive look of the game as well as the simplistic premise and story. As seen in Chi's review, the new control […]

Ape Escape – Second Opinion

I'm not going dispute Dale or anyone else about how innovative the control scheme is. Ape Escape brilliantly incorporates the Dual Shock controller much the same way Super Mario 64 did with the Nintendo 64 controller, but my praise ends there.

Ape Escape – Review

So here we are with an analog controller with TWO joysticks and a built-in rumble (they call it "vibration") support and a new 3D platformer called Ape Escape. The game was supposed to be launched with the new controller but instead got delayed, so Sony bundled it with the new PlayStation systems and hoped for the best. So here we are half a year later with Ape Escape in hand.

Pokémon Blue/Red – Second Opinion

I agree with Chi about the Miyamoto-esque experience provided by Pokémon. It turns away all conventions of the industry. There are no naked women, no hulking heroes, and no smart-mouthed mascots. You are encouraged to simply play. Have fun and enjoy yourself at your own pace.

World Driver Championship – Second Opinion

What I think should be stressed are the graphics in this game because they are phenomenal. Boss made a point to mention that they wouldn't be supporting the 4MB Memory Pak. In fact, they said they wouldn't need it. After seeing the game in action, I have to side with Boss; World Driver Championship needs no help in the graphics department.

World Driver Championship – Consumer Guide

Parents are probably safer selecting something like Beetle Adventure Racing or Diddy Kong Racing for their kids. Funny thing is, I'm not so sure hard-core racer fans will find World Driver Championship to be all that accurate of a simulation either. The game seems to march to the beat of […]

All-Star Baseball 2000 – Review

All-Star Baseball `99 won the baseball wars on the Nintendo 64 a year ago and was deservedly proclaimed one of the best baseball games ever made. In fact it was considered to be pretty close to perfect and many wondered how Acclaim would top themselves. Now, a new season is upon us and All-Star Baseball 2000 has arrived, bringing with it high expectations and I can tell you that they have delivered.

All-Star Baseball 2000 – Consumer Guide

This is a simulation fan's dream. It has accurate stats, intuitive AI, and realistic graphics and sound all in one to make a realistic baseball world. The arcade baseball lover will probably be disappointed, as stats have more impact towards game outcomes as well as by the game's much slower […]
