Fatal Frame review
Feb. 4, 2009 Leave a Comment
This review originally appeared on Reviewcenter.com in 2002. For us, it all started with The 7th Guest for the PC. We were indescribably intrigued by this game at the time.‚ The ability to journey through a beautifully rendered haunted mansion (as good as you could pre-render n 1993) via a first person perspective was something that, [...]
Eidos creates a Monster of a game
Dec. 8, 2008 Leave a Comment
There are a lot of bad kid’s games on the Wii, with even more to come during this holiday season, so we here at Blast are going to tell you about one of the better, younger skewing titles to invest your money into this winter. Backbone Entertainment’s “Monster Lab” is a game that will surely fly under the radar, but it’s worthy of more than that sad fate.

December 2008. Sony PlayStation 2 has been a viable product for eight years, selling about 140 million units wordwide, more than any other video game console in history.

Lego Batman fails to deliver
Oct. 2, 2008 Leave a Comment
It’s no real secret as to why the Lego games appeal to a wide generation of gamers. While the younger set enjoys the run and jump style platforming and easy accessible gameplay, the shall we say, more seasoned of us will appreciate the nostalgic heart, and subtle nods to some of the most famous movies [...]

This largely linear fantasy adventure, based on the book series of the same name, follows the adventures of the Grace family as they stumble into a unique situation when they move into a new house.

King of Fighters XI
Jan. 18, 2008 Leave a Comment
SNK Playmore’s King of Fighters XI is very similar in all respects to their recent NeoGeo Battle Coliseum in that it is a purely two dimensional fighting game that appeals almost exclusively to hardcore two dimensional fighting game fans. It’s a one trick pony. King of Fighters XI revolves around a new tournament that has [...]
Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground
Jan. 10, 2008 1 Comment
Proving Ground is the deepest “X-sport” video game ever developed, and that means something considering the Tony Hawk franchise singularly created the alternative sport video game genre. That said, Neversoft should have done a hell of a lot more testing. Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground brings new features like “nail the grab” and the speedy aggro [...]
The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night

The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night, starts the game off with a recap from the last game, where Spyro defeated the evil dragon Cynder.

This review originally appeared on Reviewcenter.com in 2002. An evil force by the name of “Spooky” has been unleashed by those dastardly ghosts and it’s up to everyone’s favorite pepperoni-slice shaped yellow hero to make sure Pac-World is rid of this ancient evil. The objective of the game is to collect various “Gold Fruits” Once [...]

Crash of the Titans
Dec. 26, 2007 Leave a Comment
In a way, Crash of the Titans represents everything about Playstation 2 in 2008 — still bloody good, but there’s not a whole lot more to expect out of it. Even without its original creator, Crash Bandicoot is still a strong video game franchise, and it’s the best thing Sierra has going for it right [...]
