A G4tv.com Online Only Review of Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure–
Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure follows in the footsteps of such DS titles as Puzzle Quest and Professor Layton and the Curious Village by blending elements of two distinct genres into one cohesive whole. In this case, it mixes a side-scrolling platformer with [...]
A G4tv.com Online Only Review of Pokemon Platinum–
Like celebrity deaths, Pokemon games come in threes. Completing the triumvirate started by the Pokemon Diamond/Pearl role-playing games (RPGs) is Pokemon Platinum. Containing numerous enhancements to its forerunners, Platinum is a better version of an already excellent game. For players that are into advanced play (competitive battling, IV [...]
X-Men Origins: Wolverine Review–
Well, it finally happened. And you can direct your thanks to the team at Raven for creating a movie tie-in game that isn’t awful. In fact, X-Men Origins: Wolverine is really good. So good that it’s almost unfair to categorize it as a movie game, given the stigma attached to the genre. Of [...]
Velvet Assassin Review–
It’s hard to find something new to do with the World War 2 setting, but Velvet Assassin does so by taking a familiar gameplay style, stealth, along with a couple of Nazis. Even for gamers sick of WW2, the combination is pretty successful. While none of the gameplay elements here are particularly new [...]
Despite the ongoing “imminent death” of the PSP (just check the shelves at your local game store), there are still plenty of new and interesting games being released for the system. Patapon 2 isn’t really anything new, but it sure is interesting.
Evil Eyeballs
Patapon is one of those games that you either “get” or you don’t. [...]

Seeing as the majority of WWII titles (at least on [...]
Cryostasis: Sleep of Reason Review–
In this day and age of name-brand horror, it’s rare to find a completely unheard of title creep out of the ether and prove that the genre still has plenty more to offer. Yet Cryostasis: Sleep of Reason on the PC does exactly that. Part first-person shooter and part brooding, atmospheric adventure [...]
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon Review–
Persona 3 and Persona 4 have gone a long way towards bringing the Shin Megami Tensei games to a broader audience. There’s nothing wrong with that, either – there’s something to be said for giving the series some friendlier character designs, a brisker pace, [...]
A G4tv.com Online Only Review of Klonoa–
It’s sometimes a little strange reviewing an older game remade for a current gen system. It’s even harder when that system is the Nintendo Wii, which was supposed to be a revolution is how we think about and play games. So what are we to make of Klonoa which [...]
Punch-Out!! Review–
There’s really no point in rehashing the role the original Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! played in shaping the lives of gamers everywhere, so I won’t. What I will do though is assure anyone looking to reconnect with those long lost feelings of inadequacy and failure generated by the unrelenting and unforgiving brutality of the original [...]
