Review: Splatterhouse (360)
The terror mask returns in Namco’s Splatterhouse, a 2010 update to the original which debuted back in 1988 in the arcade.

Video Review: Kingdom Hearts (PS2)
I can say without a doubt that Kingdom Hearts is one of my favorite RPG’s on the PS2. While it is a weird concept to mix the worlds of Squaresoft with that of Disney, Kingdom Hearts does it so well and without ruining either company’s respective properties. I love the game, and I know a [...]
