Other Game Reviews
As you probably know, I am a huge fan of games. I won't list all the games that I like because that would take me years but here are some of the non RPGs that I really enjoy!
Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy review

Graphics 9/10 Pretty good for it's time.

Sound 8/10 Some good music, not the best but still good.

Gameplay 9/10 Basically Crash Bandicoot but with the adventure genre. Too easy however.

Character Design 8/10 Some wacky character design. And Jak doesn't talk. I wonder why?

Storyline 9/10 It turns interesting through half of it.

Overall 9/10 It will remain an excellent classic.
Jak II: Renegade review

Graphics 10/10 Excellent graphics which make the levels look awesome.

Sound 9/10 Some cool tracks in there.

Gameplay 10/10 They turned the series into a futuristic GTA. I don't like it because of that though. Loads of missions and secrets and it's also quite hard.

Character Design 9/10 This is where Tess comes in. And this is the game where Jak looks the coolest!

Storyline 10/10 Very interesting ending.

Overall 10/10 Best Jak game in the series so far!

Jak 3 review

Graphics 10/10 Even better!

Sound 8/10 Slightly worse but still pretty good.

Gameplay 10/10 New gun upgrades and the awesome cars, but no hoverbike. Still excellent however.

Character Design 10/10 Good thing Krew's gone (that's why I gave Jak II's character design a minus 1).

Storyline 9/10 Not as good as Jak II.

Overall 10/10 Excellent. Just isn't as good as Jak II.
Jak X: Combat Racing review

Graphics 10/10 Once again, they rock!

Sound 9/10 They put in a bit of rock this time around.

Gameplay 8/10 It may be a racing game but it's like an advance version of CTR. And the old eco is back! Yeah!!

Character Design 9/10 Jak's hair is even more screwed up!!

Storyline 7/10 It's very unusual.

Overall 8/10 A very good racing game! I avoided this game for a year and I regret it.
Ratchet and Clank review

Storyline 8/10 Not too bad.

Ratchet and Clank 2: Locked and Loaded review

Ratchet: Gladiator/Deadlocked review

Graphics 9/10 No improvements and Ratchet looks kinda sucky.

Sound 8/10 A lot worse.

Gameplay 8/10 You may be able to get your weapons to 99 and stuff but it takes like 5-10 seconds to get your level up. Too easy and short as well. At least they added 2P CO-OP.

Character Design 8/10 They took loads of characters out of the game.

Storyline 7/10 I'm not too sure about this one.

Overall 8/10 The worst so far. Could have done loads better!

Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped review

Sound 8/10 Not as good as 2.

Gameplay 8/10 Good and all but where the hell is the jet pack!? And the new powerups kinda spoil it.

Character Design 8/10 This is where N. Tropy comes in. He's funny!

Storyline 7/10 A lot better!! Still not perfect though.

Overall 8/10 It's good, just not as good as the first two.

Character Design 8/10 The Bandicoot ladies crack me up!

Storyline 3/10 Turning the earth into a concrete parking lot!? Alright, whatever.

Overall 8/10 It's good, just needs improvement.
Spyro the Dragon review

Graphics 7/10 Cute graphics but a bit too cute.

Sound 8/10 Not too bad. Some good classics. Absolute crappy voice acting however.

Gameplay 8/10 Quite fun but needs harder bosses and levels. Longest in the series though.

Character Design 6/10 Hardly any principle characters.

Storyline 4/10 Turning the dragons into stone because they insulted Gnorc!? He has serious anger issues!

Overall 8/10 A good classic that has to be played if you're a Spyro fan.

Graphics 10/10 Excellent for it's time.

Sound 9/10 Pretty good! A lot better voice acting this time round!

Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly review (Gamecube)

Graphics 5/10 It is good but -2 for the lags.

Sound 7/10 A lot of sad music but still good.

Gameplay 7/10 The new ice breath and the thunder breath. Extremely short though! Bad loading too.

Character Design 7/10 You only see Moneybags once. :-(

Storyline 2/10 Who gives a crap if you lose the dragonflies? I usually never see one anyway.

Overall 7/10 Not bad but now that Insomniac Games don't make Spyro anymore, the series is screwed.
Tekken review

Graphics 6/10 The reason why the graphics suck is because 3D only just came in.

Sound 8/10 The PSone soundtrack is good. Arcade version? Err not really.

Time Crisis review

Graphics 8/10 Very blocky but good for a 1995 Arcade (and a 1997 PSone game).

Sound 7/10 The music is a lot better in the sequels.

Gameplay 8/10 Fun but no better guns and if the time runs out then you die.

Character Design 8/10 Not bad, not bad.

Storyline 7/10 A typical storyline.

Overall 8/10 Pretty cool for the first game in the series.

Time Crisis 4 review

Graphics 10/10 Awesome graphics! Also has new cinematics!

Sound 9/10 Awesome tracks!

Gameplay 9/10 The "Terror Bites" make it more House of the Deadish. Pretty cool new fatures like the Mounted Machine Gun. And some enemies have certain weaknesses.

Character Design 9/10 Pretty good! Evan looks like Tidus in a gunner dressphere (do males use dresspheres?).

Storyline Not rated

Overall 9/10 Best Time Crisis yet!!
Time Crisis: Project Titan review

Graphics 8/10 Very FF8 ish but still really bad.

Sound 8/10 Not too bad!

Gameplay 7/10 A TC1 clone! :-(

Storyline 7/10 Start is very similar to the first.

Crisis Zone review

Graphics 8/10 Like Time Crisis II, the Arcade version has terrible graphics but the PS2 version fixes it up.

Sound 6/10 Not too sure about this one.

Gameplay 6/10 Too short. The PS2 version is slightly longer but still too short. Also gets very boring after completion. The screen gets all foggy when firing with a machine gun with a G-Con as well.

Character Design 7/10 Some alright characters.

Storyline 7/10 Part one has a good story but Part two is a Time Crisis 1 rip-off. The ending for Part one is hilarious though!

Overall 6/10 I don't recommend this one. Does have some good points however.
The House of the Dead 2 review

Graphics 9/10 Good for it's time but not that great for the Dreamcast.

Sound 7/10 Not bad music!

Storyline Not rated

The House of the Dead 4 review

Graphics 9/10 Pretty good but I will need to be better if it's going to come out on the Xbox 360.

Sound Not rated

Gameplay 9/10 A lot different to the previous games with the new shake feature where you shake the gun when you get grabbed.

Character Design 8/10 A zombie here, a zombie there, zombies, zombies everywhere, but it's HOTD of course!

Storyline 8/10 Interesting ending.

Overall 8/10 Best in the series so far.
The House of the Dead III review

Graphics 9/10 Pretty good!

Sound Not rated

Gameplay 8/10 Pretty cool using the Shotgun. A lot similar to 2 but with a Shotgun.

Graphics 8/10 Pretty good cel-shading but not as good as the sequels!

Gameplay 7/10 Fun game but the controls for some of the mini-games are terrible!

Overall 9/10 Pretty good arcade!
Sly 2: Band of Thieves review

Graphics 10/10 Some excellent cel-shading and makes it look like a comic of some sort.

Sound 7/10 They kinda screwed it up here. I really hate the mission failed music!

Gameplay 8/10 Free roaming and this time you actually need money, I know you need it for the first but that was kinda like a Crash Bandicoot rip-off. The new pickpocketing feature also makes it pretty cool. Bentley and Murray suck though!

Character Design 7/10 It's where Dimitri comes in, best bad guy in the series yet!

Storyline 8/10 Rather interesting ending.

Overall 8/10 Best in the series!
Sly 3: Honour Among Thieves review

Graphics 9/10 Sly 2 was a lot darker. Sly 3 is too bright!

Sound 6/10 Even more screwed. Especially the China music!

Gameplay 8/10 New 3D glasses with some 3D extras! But doesn't make the game more exciting in any way. New characters to play as and new multiplayer. Carmelita is also playable!!

Character Design 7/10 Still just a whole bunch of different animals!

Storyline 8/10 Basically a flashback. Pretty cool! The ending is rather bizarre though.

Overall 8/10 Great game! Second best in the series.
