Toy Maniac: Zombies Ate My Neighbors Retro Review
by Robert T. Trate, Columnist
(October 02, 2009)
Yes it is time for another Retro Review by Mania’s Toy Maniac. It seems only fitting that this week we look back at a classic game from Konami and LucasArts called Zombies Ate My Neighbors (1993). In this current era of realistic gore, Nazi Zombies, Spac
Toy Maniac Retro Review: G.I. Joe A Real American Hero (NES)
by Robert T. Trate, Columnist
(August 07, 2009)
In 1991 when G.I. Joe A Real American Hero was released for the Nintendo I had grown out of G.I. Joe. Getting G.I. Joe toys for Christmas was no longer the cool or hip thing, as I unfortunately found out.

by Robert T. Trate, Columnist
(July 24, 2009)

(July 21, 2009)

G.I. Joe - DVD Battles: The Revenge of Cobra Review
by Kurt Anthony Krug, Columnist
(July 20, 2009)
The Revenge of Cobra is the second G.I. Joe mini-series that served as little better than a 2-hour toy commercial for Hasbro, introducing plenty of new characters and vehicles for the 1984-85 toy-line, and putting the Joes in unbelievable scenarios as Dest
Sacred 2: Fallen Angel Review (PS3)
by Robert T. Trate, Columnist
(July 03, 2009)
In a season congested with numerous outlets competing for our attention and our dollars many gems go unnoticed. This summer has already been packed with movie games that have left little to be desired.

X-Men Origins Wolverine (PS3 Review)
by Robert T. Trate, Columnist
(May 15, 2009)
A week or so ago I tackled the old Nintendo version of Wolverine. It was, to say the least, a frustrating experience (see my review). The good people at Activision have now sent me the latest Wolverine game based on the new movie. Now, before you say it, I
Retro Review: Wolverine NES
by Robert T. Trate, Columnist
(May 01, 2009)
Thanks to the miracle of eBay purchase and an original Nintendo game system that by the grace of the gods still works. The Toy Maniac is finishing his Wolverine coverage this week with a bang, or more appropriately a "Snikt!". Way back in the late eighties
F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin (Xbox 360)
by Josh Gordon, Columnist
(March 20, 2009)
F2 is a decent horror/action experience though it’s hard to swallow this sequel without having experienced the original first.

Street Fighter IV
by Sam Bishop, Contributing Columnist
(February 17, 2009)
It's been years since fighting games were truly popular, much less relevant. There have been plenty of attempts to update things to try to recapture the glory days of Street Fighter II and its expansions, but none, 2D or 3D, have had the magic that those q
Killzone 2
by Sam Bishop, Contributing Columnist
(February 09, 2009)
Killzone 2 is many things: a bombastic, interactive action flick; a technical showpiece for the Sony's big ol' black brick; a "toldja so" retort from developer Guerrilla Games meant to silence all those that said they'd never hit their CG target render.

by Nadia Oxford, Columnist
(January 22, 2009)
Square-Enix is giving you a chance to own and re-experience one of history's most beloved RPGs on the Nintendo DS. Dragon Quest IV is a significant upgrade from Dragon Warrior IV: for starters, the entire Dragon Warrior series reverted back to its original
Sonic Unleashed
by Nadia Oxford, Columnist
(January 10, 2009)
In the 16-bit era, Sonic the Hedgehog was like the cool older brother who took us for rides in fast cars and sneaked us into R-rated movies. Now he's the awkward buck-toothed cousin who struggles at the piano during family gatherings, pleading for another
