Review



When it was first announced, the Saw game was subject to much criticism among the gaming industry. Nearly everyone reported the news with a wink, asking if there was a point to the tie-in, and expecting the title to be shelved, never to see the light of day. While the film series is still making money in theaters, critics have blasted the past four movies, and it’s hard to imagine why Zombie Studios would bother with the IP this late in the series' life, especially when the track-record of movie tie-ins is factored in. This all changed once initial previews proved somewhat positive. After showing it to various members of the press over the past few months, it became obvious that they were on to something, and as time went on it became harder and harder to ignore Konami’s questionable endeavor.

Saw: The Video Game serves as a sequel to the first film and a prequel to the second, fitting in-between and putting players in control of Detective Tapp. For those who haven't seen the film, the character of Tapp was played by Danny Glover, who, at the end of the movie, took a bullet to the chest and was left to presumably die. A few films later, a memorial is shown for the Detective, confirming the suspicions that the character did, indeed, die. However, Saw's story follows the Detective David Tapp, who after a few minutes likely wishes he would have died in the original film.

  • Disney's Lilo & Stitch

    Based on the 2002 theatrical release Lilo & Stitch, Disney Interactive has delivered Disney's Lilo & Stitch for Game Boy Advance. This action-adventure title features more than 12 levels of play staged across not only planet Earth, but also the whole galaxy. Players alternate between Stitch and Lilo as they attempt to rescue Lilo from her menacing kidnapper Dr. Pestus the Mosquito King. Beginning the adventure as Stitch, players make their way through the first sequence of levels on Earth and continue into space, to the Junkyard Planet and the Mother Ship until they eventually defeat Dr. Pestus. Stitch has armed himself with a set of intergalactic guns with an endless supply of ammunition and he can also pick up Pineapple Grenades along the way. Except as it applies to defeating the mini-bosses, Stitch does not necessarily have to fire at his alien enemies as he can discreetly crawl past them. Bounty Hunter Bob, Junkyard Beast, and Dr. Pestus are the bosses Stitch needs to defeat. Lilo is armed a bit more innocently as she escapes from an alien ship, but as she comes out swinging her dolly Scrump in her defense, she holds her own. She also has the abilities to hide, sneak, and teleport.
