Sheila Khosla |
When FLAREgamer staff caught a glimpse of Street Fighter: Legacy, our hopes for an accurate live action adaptation of the game were instantly rekindled. Within the confines of a short trailer, director Joey Ansah showed the world that a labor of love is what it takes to do Street Fighter II justice.

Bayonetta Demo
Sheila Khosla |
Although it's a slightly inferior port of a game built for the Xbox 360, I downloaded the Bayonetta "First Climax" demo from the Japanese Playstation Store. The result? I came.

Five Reasons Why You Should Play Mass Effect
Sheila Khosla |
Earlier this week, Sheila & the SPACE/CTV crew checked out the launch party for Mass Effect, BioWare's ambitious role-playing game. Mass Effect not only pushes the Xbox 360 to the limit but it redefines our standards for character interaction and development within a game.

Super Mario Galaxy
Sheila Khosla |
Shake, tilt, shoot... whoohoo! I refuse to classify Super Mario Galaxy as a platform game. The clever gameplay and controls are out of this world. Even if it has a thick helping of straight-up platforming stages, I say the game deserves its own new genre.

The Art of Assassin's Creed
Sheila Khosla |
I knew we weren't crazy for thinking that Altair belongs on our long list of hot menfolk. Last night, Sheila and the SPACE/CTV gang checked out the launch party for Assassin's Creed. The event took place balls deep in the heart of Toronto's distillery district.

In the Shadow of the Moon
Sheila Khosla |
To many of us, the first moon landing was some inconspicuous event that occurred long ago. It was something only seen in brief footage or movie re-enactments. This is why In the Shadow of the Moon is what could be called the first true documentary of the Apollo missions.

PLAY! A Video Game Symphony
Sheila Khosla |
For most of us, listening to game soundtracks and fan remixes is the only way to enjoy game music. In Japan, concerts with game music happen all the time. Lately both Canada and the U.S.A. have been getting game concerts, and I was lucky enough to attend one with a friend!

Dragon Quest VIII
Sheila Khosla |
Dragon Quest VIII takes several old and new concepts, blending them into a game that's not without its flaws. The crisp cel-shaded graphics by developing studio Level-5 paint the illusion of a perfectly modernized RPG.

Final Fantasy XII Demo
Sheila Khosla |
It's about damn time. The Japanese FF12 demo was last seen during E3 over a year ago, after which FF12 inexplicably disappeared off the American map. Now packaged with Dragon Quest VIII is an English version of the demo with the Japanese voices.

Resident Evil 4
Sheila Khosla |
Resident Evil 4 does away with all preconceived notions of the Survival Horror genre. Fast moving, intelligent enemies who can adapt to your every move replace the series' staple of slow moving zombies. The action varies from careful sniping to in-your-face, and the way you choose to deal with any encounter is up to you.

Castlevania: Curse of Darkness
Sheila Khosla |
Curse of Darkness is the sequel to the much loved Castlevania III and is the second 3D Castlevania game released by Konami for the Playstation 2. Despite having the building blocks for an excellent Castlevania game – Ayami Kojima's artwork and Michiru Yamane's music – Curse of Darkness failed to meet the high expectations that its marketing campaign had built up.

Still doubting XI's ability to be a part of the Final Fantasy series? Most people believed that a game being online meant that good a story can't be conveyed. The XI myth is finally busted.

Sheila Khosla |
Ever since the Final Fantasy series has gone 3D, the characters have become the moving force at the front of each story. Behind the character designs of Final Fantasy 7, 8 and 10 is a name which is soon becoming a household one to Final Fantasy fanatics: Tetsuya Nomura.

Final Fantasy X2

Sheila's take on Square's slap it up and call it a day game. Did she get around to fully finishing the game? No. Does that make her review any less valid? With this game? Hell no!
