    A Nonrevolutionary Masterpiece Worthy of its Namesake

    The Final Fantasy series has a long, storied history replete with spin-offs, direct sequels, and remakes across a variety of media. The “mainline,” numbered entries have always been critic...

  • malachi_27 posted a message on the post Halo 2 Review.

    I don't agree with Gerstmann's assertion that there are FPS games on PC in 2007 that "blow Halo 2 away in every possible way." I can think of two games that arguably do: BioShock and Crysis, but Halo ...

  • malachi_27 posted a message on the post Redfall Review - Half-Staked.

    Finished this one solo with one character (Jacob), and after 14 hours of completing every quest available to me (to my knowledge), I can say the game wears thin halfway through. It's far from unplayab...

    I finished Record of Lodoss War on the Dreamcast recently. Mr. Shoemaker makes no mention of the questionable optimization of the game, which appears to trade speedy load times for frame rates that ta...

  • malachi_27 posted a message on the post Kid Icarus: Uprising Review.

    I finished this game recently, and I think the presentation, story, humor, and characters are really on point. I also think the collectibles and load-out options are fantastic, but it's a bit too long...

  • malachi_27 posted a message on the post Dante's Inferno Review.

    I finished this game recently on normal difficulty and nabbed all the collectibles my first time through. I agree with this review, though I'd score it a 6. It's a fine game -- a shameless God of War ...

  • malachi_27 posted a message on the post Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Review.

    @balugha: I also beat this for the first time recently, after having not played an AC game since the first in '07. I didn't care for this one altogether, but it's a good game. If we split the game int...

    I'd recommend linking to GameSpot's own reviews (there's a review for all of them starting with Marvel vs. Capcom) and also providing the full game titles. For example, it's The Incredible Hulk Ultima...

  • malachi_27 posted a message on the post Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered PC Review - Amazing Fantasy.

    Coincidentally, I plat'ed this game and Miles Morales on PS5 recently. They're really fun games, and I think this one in particular does a fantastic job of crafting of a world that makes you care abou...

  • malachi_27 posted a message on the post Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Review - Masters of War.

    @kuninushi: It probably has more to do with an apparent imbalance created between the game and the gamer, because there's an assumption, to some extent, that the gamer and the characters should be on ...

  • malachi_27 posted a message on the post The Order: 1886 Review.

    I finished this game recently, and I agree with this reviewer's sentiments. Despite the Order being short, it has a slow build, taking a while to rev up, ending shortly after the game begins to intrig...
