Fire Pro Wrestling is an experience that can be summed up in one word: struggle. The entire game from start to finish is one massive struggle even with tons of options and hundreds of wrestlers to choose from.

 

GAME DESCRIPTION: “Japan’s most legendary wrestling series makes its PS2 debut this fall. The incredibly popular Fire Pro Wrestling series is famous for its unparalleled gameplay depth and unmatched customization options, and Fire Pro Wrestling Returns is the biggest and best yet.” –EBGames.com

Our own Mousse Gallon has posted his review for several Pokemon games. Check them out!

 

GAME DESCRIPTION: “In the Sinnoh region, there are two Pokemon that symbolize the region. They appear in the Sinnoh reigon’s myths and old folklore. One is called Dialga, and is said to have the power to control time. The other is called Palkia, who is said to have the ability to distort space. The sinister organization called Team Galaxy is trying to rule the region by utilizing these two Pokemon’s power. During your adventure to complete your Pokedex and become the Champion, these two Pokemon, and Team Galaxy, will intertwine into the story and lead you on a fantastic journey across the Sinnoh region.” -EBGames.com
