	Marble Blast Ultra review (X360) Reviewed on July 04, 2006 As you race around the various stadiums trying to collect multi-colored gems ahead of your worthy opponents, you’ll find power-ups scattered all over the place. Some blow you up to giant size and let you send everyone who touches you flying. Others give you the ability to spring high into the air, or to rocket across most of the arena if you launch cleverly from the top of a ramp.
	Tecmo NBA Basketball review (NES) Reviewed on July 04, 2006 Tecmo NBA Basketball hit stores not long after the 1991 smash debut of Tecmo Super Bowl, a game that succeeded because it stood as the most accurate NES representation of its sport. In terms of presentation and options, these releases exist as equals, but the newer of the two lacks an essential sports game characteristic. Even when mastered, TSB thrived because every down presented an uncertain challenge, be it navigating a broken blocking scheme or reading the oppon...
	Castlevania Double Pack review (GBA) Reviewed on July 04, 2006 After playing the disappointing Castlevania Double Pack, the "Castlevania" name now brings back memories of emasculated bishounen dunderheads, forgettable filler music, long empty hallways, and tiresome backtracking. Quite frankly, this cartridge makes me sad.
	The King of Fighters EX: Neoblood review (GBA) Reviewed on July 04, 2006 It confuses me as to how some of SNK’s most memorable characters, like Billy Kane and Duck King, get excluded, while the bland ones keep coming back.
	Shadow Hearts From the New World review (PS2) Reviewed on July 01, 2006 We’re here to take your pornography and sodomize our vast imaginations
	Call of Duty 2 review (PC) Reviewed on July 01, 2006 I absolutely loved the original Call of Duty, so I had incredibly high hopes for Call of Duty 2. As soon as the first screenshots came out for it, I instantly proclaimed that the game was going to be awesome and started talking non-stop about it. I’m not usually excited about too many games, but I had a lot of expectations for Call of Duty 2, which I’m sure you got from my first two sentences. Now you’re left wondering if the game lived up to my expectations.
	Devilish: The Next Possession review (GEN) Reviewed on July 01, 2006 It's such a genuinely zany concept that one wonders going in just how such a thing couldn't provide a quick burst of amusement. And it does. I actually chuckled at the wonderfully contrived story describing a prince and a princess turned into paddles by evil magic. The problem is that if you've played Breakout, you've played this, and while such things as zombies and boss fights add a little to the gameplay value, Bad Omen runs on its novelty. Once you get past that, the experience quickly loses its lustre.
	Arc the Lad: Twilight of Spirits review (PS2) Reviewed on July 01, 2006 Arc: Twilight of the Spirits often feels more about toil than reward.
	Gradius II: Gofer no Yabou review (NES) Reviewed on July 01, 2006 There are certain games for which one must wonder the usefulness of a review. Gradius II is one such game. Being an average-at-best Japan-only release from 1989, it is highly unlikely that any casual gamer will read this review and decide "Hey, I really want to play that game!" Conversely, if you're a big fan of the other Gradius games (or shooters in general), chances are very good that you've already played Gradius II. If you're not, then the odds are high that you won't be reading this. Gradi...
	Bulls vs. Blazers and the NBA Playoffs review (SNES) Reviewed on June 30, 2006 Bulls vs. Blazers sucked, sucks and will suck.
	Castlevania review (NES) Reviewed on June 30, 2006 Without a doubt, Castlevania is an esteemed series. While its sales aren't the greatest, the games still receive high acclaim from critics and hardcore gaming junkies alike (well, the 2D ones, anyway.) However, one thing that should be noted about the praise slavished upon Konami's long-running franchise is that almost all of it is directed to 1997's Symphony of the Night and its followups. That game combined a Metroid-esque sense of exploration with smooth controls and a gorgeous art direction,...
	Totally Rad review (NES) Reviewed on June 30, 2006 And so, young and awesome Jake sets off into the wild blue yonder, endeavoring to complete five whole stages of magic and mayhem, rescue Allison, rescue Allison’s father (no clue how he fits into things, other than to give Jake another reason to look like a big-shot in front of his girl) and spew out TOTALLY RAD dialogue, all of which I forced myself to forget as soon as the words left my screen.
	The Legend of Dragoon review (PSX) Reviewed on June 30, 2006 "This room is tidy. This shows a lot about this person's personality."
	New Super Mario Bros. review (DS) Reviewed on June 29, 2006 There is one particular thought that you should dismiss from your mind before reading a review or perhaps even going out to purchase this game. And that is, do not expect this to be along the same monumental line as Super Mario 64, Super Mario World, or even the first game Mario appeared on for that matter. Think of Mario’s latest venture as more of an anthology of sorts; an assemblage of positive features from his best games, spanning over the last twenty years.
	Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition review (PSP) Reviewed on June 28, 2006 I’ll tell you about Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition just as soon as it finishes loading. It’ll probably finish in a few seconds...or minutes. In the meantime, uh, how are you? What have you been doing? Working a lot? Oh wait, I think it’s done. Wait, nope, it’s still loading. It’ll be just a little bit more. I apologize. The longer it loads, the better it must be, right?!
	Area 51 review (PC) Reviewed on June 28, 2006 Midway originally released Area 51 as a lightgun game several but, when all of the sudden remaking old games became popular, the good people at Midway decided that they would modernize Area 51 and turn it into a traditional first-person shooter and dropping the lightgun gimmick (and the arcades) which made the franchise popular. I blame Nintendo and the Gameboy Advance for causing this phenomenon to sweep the video gaming world, but I won’t get started on that. There are very few s...
	F.E.A.R.: First Encounter Assault Recon review (PC) Reviewed on June 28, 2006 F.E.A.R stands as the most intense first-person shooter I’ve ever played. It doesn’t achieve intensity by bombarding you with ear-splitting explosions, or keeping you constantly at the brink of death, but through sheer atmosphere, design, and pacing. Even if you aren’t a tactician when it comes to first-person shooters and prefer run-and-gun mayhem, this game will slow you down and force you into the crouch position. F.E.A.R will have you leaning around corners, taking very careful...
	The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask review (N64) Reviewed on June 28, 2006 MM (the Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask) is perhaps the single most unique Zelda game. It did something that only one of the others did; it broke away from the classic Zelda story line. MM also has revamped graphics and a new musical score when compared to Ocarina of Time, but the combat is mostly the same. As for the length and difficulty of MM; the difficulty can be gauged, but this game has a very interesting innovation that makes it much more difficult to determine the length of the game: a t...
	The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX review (GBC) Reviewed on June 28, 2006 Link's Awakening DX (LA for the purpose of this review) is one of the lesser known games in the Zelda saga. Their are several possible reasons for it's being relatively unknown: perhaps people are alienated by the original storyline, maybe people prefer the item systems of Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Wind Waker, or perhaps people simply flat-out hate handhelds. In any event, LA is one of the stronger Zelda titles, due to its being perhaps the most unique of them all.
	Martial Masters review (ARC) Reviewed on June 28, 2006 Martial Masters is, quite possibly, the greatest 2-D fighter you’ll never play.
