The Gamecube gave us some truly
spectacular Nintendo titles, although it didn't exactly give us the same from third parties. So, odds are high that if you owned a Gamecube, knew someone who owned one or came within 100 feet of one, you played or knew about the greatest Gamecube game: Super Smash Bros. Melee. If you owned Super Smash Bros. Melee, you've probably been playing it since its release, as its multiplayer slugfest never gets....

The Nintendo DS may sell more units
than any other gaming platform, but where handhelds are concerned, Sony's PlayStation Portable (PSP) delivers by far the most console-like experience you can get this side of the sofa. Sure, it's got a gorgeous display, and yes, the Internet functionality is nice, but if you're looking for console-like games on the go, the PSP has got you covered. Case in point: God of War: Chains of Olympus....

Whether you're playing World of Warcraft on your
PC, Call of Duty 4 on your Xbox 360 or Resistance: Fall of Man your PS3, the chances are pretty high you spend about half of your gaming time playing online. Don't feel bad; you're not alone. However, if you're like most of us here at DailyGame, you're also not alone in your constant need for more Cat-5 and routers to keep playing smoothly online. Somehow, there just never seem to be enough Ethernet....

Lost Odyssey is the second Xbox
360 game to come from Mistwalker, the Japanese game developer so touted by Microsoft for working on Xbox 360-exlcusive role-playing games. Having recently released Blue Dragon, Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi and Nobuo Uematsu wasted no time in teaming up with artist Takehiko Inoue and writer Kiyoshi Shigematsu. Their goal with Lost Odyssey was not to reinvent the wheel, but to give Xbox 360....

Western movies are an interesting bunch,
if for no other reason than their inconsistency. The most obvious of these is release dates; Westerns have hit theaters with such irregularity that, save for Unforgiven, you'd be hard-pressed to name many good Westerns since the late 1980s. But a funny thing happened on the way to 2008: two Westerns released in close succession, each with big-name actors: The Assassination of Jesse....

EA and Criterion must like Las Vegas.
Whether Vegas likes them is another matter entirely. EA acquired Criterion hoping to capitalize on other developers' use of Renderware, Criterion's proprietary middleware, and that gamble hasn't exactly panned out. Meanwhile, Criterion has re-tooled its popular Burnout racing franchise so often that it's basically asking to "hit" with 19 points. The latest outing, Burnout Paradise, recently....

Three high profile television shows have
debuted on high definition home video this holiday season. In November, Paramount's Star Trek The Original Series: Season One HD DVD set broke banks but put a smile on fan's faces heading towards season two sometime next year. Earlier this month Universal, the other HD DVD exclusive studio, finally released the long-rumored first season of Battlestar Galactica to an....

Gamers love their Guitar Hero. The first two games
in the Activision-published series and subsequent expansion packs have all been met with high praise and record sales numbers. Perhaps this tidal wave of success is why Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock steers clear of straying too far from its proven and successful formula. True, the game includes some nice new multiplayer modes and boss battles, and yes, it has....

I'll be the first to admit World War II 
shooters are getting insanely old. Yeah, yeah, "greatest generation" and all that...I don't disagree. But to re-live the same basic battles with the same basic weapons against the same basic enemies is now tedious beyond belief, so Infinity Ward's decision to create a modern shooter for its next Call of Duty game was refreshing. Honestly, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare could've ended up being....

You own an Xbox 360. You own a PlayStation 3. 
You own a Mac Mini. You own an HD-DVD player. You own an HD DVR. You own, well, more HDMI-equipped devices than a single HDTV can support. Thus is the conundrum of technophiles and early adopters; when buying the latest HDTVs and high-definition home electronics, there's a point where one product category is always ahead of the rest. And HDMI inputs are just such a point. In the....

As most of us know, the music-game
genre has been practically monopolized by a certain guitar-wielding giant of a franchise. However, there is no "I" in "rock," a fact Harmonix is trying to prove with its latest creation, Rock Band. To be fair to snubbed bass players, Guitar Hero did have co-op and multiplayer modes, but the two instruments (lead and bass guitar) were played exactly the same. Yet Rock Band does its best to....

Nintendo's golden boy is back for another installment 
with Super Mario Galaxy, Mario's first big adventure on the Wii. And "big" really is the right word, as the adventure contained in Super Mario Galaxy is so large it needs a whole galaxy to contain it. The many planets you'll visit all have unique looks and themes in spite of their trademark cartoony look, and smooshing a Goomba has never looked so detailed. More important with....

Although Bethesda Softworks may seem like
a niche publisher, one could easily make the argument that its few releases are simply a matter of quality over quantity. Granted, the company has historically struggled with patching issues, but other than that, there's a reason Bethesda's Elder Scrolls series has won numerous game of the year awards. The latest outing, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, is no exception, and upon its....

The world existing outside of gaming circles was introduced to Heavenly 
Sword when it mysteriously appeared nearly a year ago in a shameless plug on NBC's freshman season of Heroes. Expectations for Sony's premiere new potential franchise have built exponentially since then, leaving little to no wiggle room for fault or error else critics and PlayStation 3 owners walk away from another exclusive with their heads....

Last year at E3 2006, BioShock was one of three games
I told everyone they had to see. "If you have any chance at all, go see BioShock," I insisted. The gameplay, graphics and concept were just that good. Having now played BioShock for a week, I'd still recommend BioShock to any gamer who owns an Xbox 360 or PC, but for different reasons. The game is still solid, don't get me wrong, and it earns every one of the nine points we're...

If you look through the pages of French History 
you'll more than likely come across the story of Joan of Arc. She was a young girl who believed she heard the voice of God telling her that she must unite her country and force the invading English out of the country. Level 5 and Sony Entertainment take this story and add magical armlets, demon beasts, and evil englishmen in Jeanne D'Arc with surprisingly solid results for the Playstation Portable.

When DailyGame reviewed the original Ninja Gaiden
on Xbox, we felt the game was far too hard for the mainstream audience to which it was being marketed, and we scored it with that difficulty asterisk in mind. However, three years have passed since that original release, so it's only fair to expect gamers to know what they're getting with Ninja Gaiden Sigma for the PlayStation 3: a difficult, gorgeous, lightning-fast game with a...
