Seriously, you couldn't google Asterix before writing the review? He's like Bugs Bunny over there. He's commom comic book, cartoon, toy, animated feature fodder for children and foreign language students. He's popular in ALL European nations with translations in almost all languages. He's a Gaul, on...

So, I'm 16 hour in to PS1 and I have to say I'm really enjoying it. I did some additional searching on the internet and found a handy Phantasy Star fan page that really helped me make my final decision. PS1 is by far the shortest and simplest of the lot, perfect for my limited gaming time. Like I sa...

When I was stationed in Germany in the 90's my roomie and I had a Genesis. He used to play a hex turn based wargame that covered the German invasion of the USSR during WW2. It featured the battles of Stalingrad and Kursk in particular. It was NOT a euro only release, our console was NTSC for sure as...

I got the Xbox360 Sonic Ultimate Genesis Collection and it has 4(!) Phantasy Star games, 1-4, on it. Time is a serious factor as I have at best an hour to play before bed so I don't want to slog through a 60 hour game. Which one should I tackle?

You are also stuck in a space suit the entire time so your movement is slow and labored, but wait until you get outside!<br /><br />Definitely check...

If you want another good survival horror game for the PS2 for your list, check out SIREN. It plays like a Japanese horror film because it basically IS a Japanese horror film.<br /><br />You play the roles of many people in the game and each character's actions affect the other character's situations...

Ok, without being too big a fanboy, I think you missed some of the more important aspects of BL2.<br /><br />You mention nothing about the level up/CRPG/Badass Ranking system, 3 of the most important parts of the game. All 3 of those systems work together to allow players to customize their characte...

You said the game lacks a level select, but there is one. Sort of...<br /><br />When you complete a level it becomes available in the Score Attack mode. You can practice playing the level and after a few runs the levels can be relatively easy.<br /><br />I've read and can vouch that the game can be ...
