Madden NFL 09

Here's my review of Madden 2009 for the PS2.

First off, I'm not really concerned with the gameplay. I'm one of those people that only plays the Franchise Mode (I call it Franchise Mode, I know some refer to it as Owner Mode, but I use Franchise). Within a year I might play an actual game maybe a half dozen to a dozen times, that's it. In Franchise Mode I simulate all the games, I LOVE to act as a GM/Owner making all the decisions. So with that being said I'm basing my review with the bulk of my emphasis on the Franchise Mode. I'll touch a little on the gameplay first.

- The gameplay seems like the same old Madden a basic re-hash of last year's version or the version two years ago, or the version three years ... Read More:

Now with MGS 4, having this is a must have, if you haven't played them before you can get all 3 games at a cheap price, just like DMC series. Even if you just want to have them for your collection.

God of War 2

Make no mistake --- it's an excellent game. It may take a bit of getting used to after playing Halo 3 (or even Crackdown for that matter) since the camera is game controlled and not player controlled but it's worth the adjustment. (I think the game view has been implimented in this way in order to give the player clues as to how to solve the puzzles --- there must be some reason). Still it takes some getting used to. Other than that slight adjustment it's a very worthy game. If by chance you've exclusively moved on to the next gen systems take a half step back and play this.

Final Fantasy X

This game was literally the first time I actually started to become emotional in playing a video game. The storytelling is absolutely brilliant - the conclusion so well done and wondrous, it clearly outshines anything a live action movie could ever hope to do.

The game's pacing and character development allow you to empathize with all of the characters, particularly Yuna and Tidus. All the characters are brilliantly woven and serve their purpose.

However, the endless battles can get annoying, along with the constant item hunting/searching.

You will not forget this game. It will stick in your mind and you will remember the ending for quite some time.

I bought this for my 14 year old who is 6' 1" and 175lbs. I was concerned that he would break it after I read several of the reviews but the guitar is holding up just fine and I've heard no complaints from him. So he's happy, I'm happy!!! :^)

Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures

My six year old son and I played both Lego Star Wars games for months so of course we were going to get Lego Indiana Jones. If you've played Lego Star Wars, you'll be able to jump in and immediately play Lego Indiana Jones. Home base is Barnett College and you can access the first three movies and the six adventures each contain.

Each level contains the 10 treasures you must collect in order to build an artifact, as well as a mailbox and parcel you must collect to earn special powers and abilities. You'll be required to play each level in story mode. In this mode you are required to use certain characters and are entertained by lego characters acting out the movie. These movie clips are always funny and family friendly.

I must admit ... Read More:

Kingdom Hearts II

A totally fun game and a must get if you're a Kingdom Hearts fan. I only wish that it wasn't so easy. The new 'commands' option that the game has makes it really easy to win battles if you hit them at the right times. But still, it had some really fun moments and it's worth playing.

God of War

I'm fairly new to video gaming, having only bought my first console a couple of years ago for my young son. But I have grown to love playing, both with my son and by myself. I recently finished all the grown-up games I have (LOL!), and was on the hunt for a new one.

Based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews of the God Of War series, I picked up the first one. And...well...maybe I just don't get it. Maybe I'm too old. Maybe I'm too picky. I can't understand what all the fuss is about. I was TERRIBLY disappointed in this game and feel like I just flushed $20.00 down the toilet.

I feel that the game is juvenile, poorly written, poorly visualized, and...well, kind of lame. The action is ok, but only ok. The sets and characters are so poorly ... Read More:

Madden NFL 08 is another great Madden title. I luckily skipped from the greatest Madden '05 to '08 so I didn't have to pain through '06 and '07. I love the new offseason and training modes but could do w/o the superstar mode which gets boring quickly. How many times can you go get a haircut?
