Showdown: Legends of Wrestling is Good but Not Great
Showdown: Legends of Wrestling was released in 2004 and was the last game in the series. It is also one of the last games that Acclaim released before it went bankrupt.

A Look Back at Final Fantasy VII on the PS1
Final Fantasy VII is the game that made the series mainstream. It might be hard to believe, but there was a time in North America when not everyone knew about or liked Final Fantasy.

The Not So Hardcore First ECW Game on the PS1
ECW was a unique wrestling company. It wasn’t as big as WWF or WCW, but it greatly influenced those two promotions.

WWF In Your House is a Good Arcade Wrestling Game
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked up In Your House on the PS1/PSX. Aside from being a WWF wrestling game, I knew nothing about the game. I think I was expecting something else, but I wasn’t disappointed with what the game had to offer. This game plays like a sequel to theContinue reading “WWF In Your House is a Good Arcade Wrestling Game”
