PC Review
Nov 9, 2007 It's been just six months since dog-and-rabbit detectives Sam and Max wreaked their particular brand of havoc on the point-and-click adventure genre, and already they're back again to deliver more punishment. Christmassy punishment. Santa's gone crazy and started shipping out presents that are either useless, deadly, or both, and it once again falls to Sam and Max to hurt people and ruin things by way of response. Sam & Max Season Two, Episode 1: Ice Station Santa (available for ...

Wii - Samba De Amigo Wii - Samba De Amigo Wii

Man alive, does Samba De Amigo seem fun. From the gorgeous full-motion video opener to the Borat sound-a-like that yelps over the menus, there are few experiences as welcoming on Wii. ...

PS2 Review
Given how crazy violent the postmodern, hip-hop-heavy anime Samurai Champloo is, you'd think it'd be easy to make it into a decent video game; just inject the characters into a cool-looking slash 'em-up and add a whole lot of weirdness, right? Guess not. That's more or less what the developer did, but Samurai Champloo: Sidetracked still kinda sucks. Not that Sidetracked doesn't have good things going for it. Created by the TV series' writers as a "lost chapter" in the show's canon, ...

PS2 Review
Koei is releasing the same game for what seems to be the 97th time in the last four years. The latest installment in the popular Warriors series is Samurai Warriors 2. Based in feudal Japan, this title blends a ridiculous amount of mindless violence, entertaining cutscenes, some truly horrendous voice acting and an upgrade system that's totally wasted. Put it all together and you have a real yawner of a game that's more dirty farm peasant than exalted warlord. Only the most loyal of fans should ...

Samurai Warriors 2: Empires looks great on paper: based on historical Japanese events, you must lead your feudal clan of soldiers into battle, hacking away at enemies, unleashing devastating special attacks all while devising strategy and executing policy in hopes of guiding your people to ultimate victory and the unification of your beloved Nippon. Sounds awesome, no? Well, Koei must agree because theyve made the same game countless times already under the Dynasty Warriors moniker. As the ...

PS2 - Samurai Warriors 2 Xtreme Legends - Samurai Warriors 2: Xtreme Legends  It has been a long time since any of publisher Koei's Warriors games have felt new. No matter what the setting (this series is in Japan instead of the usual China), you’re still pretty much hacking hundreds of identical dudes into little pieces. Samurai Warriors 2: Xtreme Legends is now the second expansion release for Samurai Warriors 2 (the first being SW2: Empires) and offers even more bonus content for the hackers and the ...

Wii Review
Jan 15, 2008 Samurai Warriors Katana is finally here, and after several so-so earlier titles, it pretty much has the ‘remote as sword field to itself. In Campaign mode this is basically Time Crisis with a sword. This is a very good thing. Relentlessly on-rails fighting can get boring, but Katana mixes up the missions in imaginative ways - youll have to creep through forests filled with archers, spotting them before they can shoot you in the back, hide behind fences and shoot onrushing ...

PSP Review
Lets face it: there's something gratifying about cutting through hundreds of enemy warriors like they werent even there, and Samurai Warriors: State of War definitely delivers in that respect. Anyone familiar with the series' PS2 releases or its based-in-old-China counterpart Dynasty Warriors will know that the point of these games is simple: to beat the living hell out of entire armies of enemies. As such, elements like story and character development take a backseat to shoving your blades ...
