21.Spyro A Hero's Tail from: Vivendi Universal

Video Games : Spyro A Hero's Tail
...don't buy this game. While many people try to accept a new entry to a game franchise with an open mind and acceptance for originality, it's necessary for a new game to follow a criteria of it's predecessors at least to some degree - otherwise, it would be a totally different game. Such is the case with Spyro: A Hero's Tail. I'll keep it simple and break up the aspects of the game into their respective components with some regard to the original games:

Plot: Cookie cutter, but not too bad; Bad guy attacks the good guys and unlikely good guy must stop him after dispatching his henchmen.

Characters: Ouch. None of the voices are the same and most sound either over-exaggerated or bored-out-of-their-minds. Spyro has become a dragon who saves the realms because he probably ... Read More

When I first started playing video games when I was 7, the first one I played was the original Spyro. I immediately fell in love with the game as well as the sequels.

Then a few years ago, Spyro came out on PS2. I was eager to get Enter the Dragonfly so when I got it for Christmas, I nearly jumped out of my pajamas.

*Pros*
- Well, Spyro's in it... as well as Moneybags and Hunter
- The slide in Honey Marsh is a lot of fun

*Cons*
- Honestly, I did not like the graphics. They were not part of the "Spyro World". Sure call me a loser... I don't care, but I loved the graphics before. They were cute and Spyro-friendly, and nobody should have changed it.
- Spyro used to move with such agile and feisty-ness. Now, like everyone else says, he moves ... Read More

24.Ice Age 2: The Meltdown from: Sierra

Video Games : Ice Age 2: The Meltdown
This game is based on the 'ice age' movie (features voice from original actors too). You play the 'squirrel-like' character, Scrat, and go through many areas of frozen ice, forests, mud swamps, volcanoes and glaciers collecting nuts. It involves running, jumping, climbing walls, swinging on vines, fighting some 'angry creatures', diving through water etc. There are also several mini-games (not a lot of them), but with varying themes and motion-controls.

The game is more for a fun experience than for challenge (for experienced platform gamers). You just enjoy going through those beautiful landscapes collecting nuts and playing the mini games. The sceneries are very pretty and the cut scences are nice (dvd quality on the wii).

- The controls for moving Scrat are not that good. There is ... Read More

The Spyro series has headed downhill, but this game did try to pick it back up. Like Enter the Dragonfly, it's another one of those games you just pick up and play.

Video Games : Scarface The World Is Yours
i loved the movie Scarface...and i think this game is the Ultimate Compliment to the film. the depiction of the mansion is like icing on the cake. and whoever they got to mimic Tony Montana's voice did an EXCELLENT job. some of the things said in this game are just hilarious. basically, all you do is sell dealers the drugs, collect the money and store it in the bank. wash, rinse, repeat...but its got so much flare from the movie, you wont get tired of it. i recommend this to anyone who liked the movie and has an xbox...or if your just unpleased with GTA4 :l pick this up.

i rank this up there with GTA:SA and The Godfather, you should be able to find a copy on ebay...

I co-op played Balders Gate 1 with a few friends and complected it we wanted another game to co-op play and didn't have much luck finding one until I found out they made a sequel. This is as much fun in co-op mode ad the first BC!

Video Games : Scarface The World Is Yours
but now its time to say gooodbye. Having been a big fan of Rockstar Games with GTA 3, Vice City and the well known yet controversial San Andreas being my all time favorites Scarface: The World Is Yours puts all of them five feet deep. Vivendi Universal was originally going to released this in 2005 but halted the production. From what I can see they knew having patience would be worth it in the end & to not make the same mistakes as other movie gamnes such as Terminator 3 Redemption. The stats show. In just a month and half after its release a million copies worldwide were sold. I cant name another game that has done that in a short amount of time. Any way just an introduction let me get into detail.

The game starts with where the movie ended. Tony takin on ... Read More
