Long after the Jackass series was cancelled and well after the latest movie release, Jackass: The Game is published. The crew is incomplete and the games are mediocre and it has that beloved Jackass flavour of painful agony and disgust, but creating such a mediocre title in hopes of grabbing the lunch money of awestruck pre-teens worldwide because there is so little Jackass content and still so many Jackass fans, makes those fans wish the series was continued even more.

With online first person shooters a dime a dozen, it's difficult to really stand out among the crowd. Frontlines: With the next generation consoles making it so easy to update a game after release, it doesn't mean the consumer should readily accept an unfinished product either. Read More.
Let's face it; innovation is a dying thing in the world of video games. Most game companies are releasing sequels, prequels or games that are either based off of others or direct rip-offs. However that doesn't mean that within the realm of sequels and spin-offs you can't find any sort of innovation or change going on. Read More.

The Europa Universalis series has proven to be top-notch when it comes to strategy gameplay. Embroiled in historical battles, politics, and realism, the series has been quite the proving ground for strategists. At the same time, though, it successfully pushes away all of those who wish to play a strategy game that doesn't require a week of learning just to understand the interface. Read More.
One thing that I've always wondered about while playing the plethora of WWII shooters on the market is how veterans of the war would feel about their plight being packaged for profit and entertainment. Also, as someone of Jewish descent, should I really feel good about blasting away wave after wave of enemies who only sixty years ago wanted my race obliterated from the map? Read More.
It is more fun to play than Mario and Sonic at the Olympics.
This is the highest praise I can give Conspiracy Entertainment's Winter Sports: The Ultimate Challenge. Still, preferring a punch in the face to a kick in the groin doesn't make either an altogether pleasant experience. Read More.
The Scene It? Lights, Camera, Action party game is another version of the popular Scene It? party game franchise by Screenlife. The game advertises a family friendly experience, and tries to target a more casual lifestyle genre then the 360 usually finds.

Unfortunately, something can also be said about its refusal to change this formula and how it's starting to show. Read More.
Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters was a handheld-sized entry into the popular duo's adventure, released on to the PSP about a year ago. It was well met and bringing the duo to a handheld went pretty well, save for a couple minor issues. Now the game's been ported onto the PS2, unfortunately it doesn't fare the transition well.

You'll have to forgive me, I've had this rhythm stuck in my head ever since I put that little Patapon UMD in my PSP. If you play this game, you too will succumb to the curse that is Patapon's infectious rhythm. Not that this is a bad thing. Read More.
Conflict: Denied Ops is the fifth game in the Conflict series, developed by Pivotal Games. As the first entry onto the current-gen systems, you would think that Denied Ops would be a great leap forward in the series due to advancements in hardware. It's not. It's really, really not. Read More.
