Feel the Magic: XY/XX review (DS)Reviewed on November 21, 2004The thing is, you're just rubbing the screen with your stylus to push up said fish. Do well enough and you're onto the next area. A few mini-games later, you're back to rubbing the screen with your stylus. Presentation has changed, but your encouraged activity has not. Whether you're moving tacks to the side or pushing goldfish out of a man's throat or even digging through sand to find a purse's lost content, it does get old. |

Columns review (GG)Reviewed on November 20, 2004If asked what your favourite puzzle games are, most you would probably reply mentioning at least one version of Tetris. Be it Tetris Worlds or Tetrisphere, the Russian puzzler is by far the world’s favourite computer game puzzle. There are, however, many alternatives to Tetris, but few which can rival its simple yet addictive gamplay. Sega though, have always liked a good challenge, and an arcade-like puzzler may be what is required to topple the Russian King from his throne of computer puzzling... |

Second Sight review (GCN)Reviewed on November 18, 2004Second Sight’s sudden release was a bit of a surprise really. Not even the few expectant forum gamers (having already waded their way through Psi-Ops) would have foreseen this third-person action-adventure being released at the beginning of September (UK release) without any real hype whatsoever since it was first unveiled just a few short months ago. A surprise indeed, but a generally pleasant one to boot. |

Sonic the Hedgehog review (GEN)Reviewed on November 18, 2004So, why was Nintendo kicking Sega’s butt early on in the rivalry between the two companies? Personally, I’ve always felt it was because Nintendo had all the recognizable characters. They had Mario, Link, Mega Man, Simon Belmont and others. Our friends at Sega could boast little more than some Alex Kidd fellow. It wasn’t that the Master System was overloaded with inferior games or anything like that — it was just that they never really had a good marketable character to captivate the imagination ... |

Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne review (PS2)Reviewed on November 17, 2004A once-verdant landscape is no more than a barren desert. And thus the scene is set. The plot twists its way through more than 80 hours of gameplay from that point, never overbearing but always gnawing at your consciousness from behind the scenes. As interesting as the sequence of events that gradually unfolds is, though, this game isn’t about plot. It’s about old-school, ‘punch you in the face and laugh when you cry’ role-playing. |

King of Fighters: Maximum Impact review (PS2)Reviewed on November 17, 2004You couldn't introduce new blood without making at least one of them a busty babe, and so Lien enters the fray, serving up the expected combination of violence and sex we seem to crave from our gaming women. During the intro sequence, she chokes out some nameless dude, and then finds it necessary to zip down her jumpsuit front enough to expose exceptional cleavage which you might liken to two 14-pound bowling balls bursting out of a single ball bag. |

Super Street Fighter II Turbo review (ARC)Reviewed on November 16, 2004Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo was the finale in the SF2 series. It took all eight world warriors from the original yet now decrepit classic, and added in the four playable boss characters in the upgraded to perfection Championship edition. With a turbo feature added on they created Street Fighter 2 turbo, a slicker and speedier version of Championship edition that also allowed all characters to be played. They kept squeezing the orange until they created enough juice that produced the ultimate S... |

Halo 2 review (XBX)Reviewed on November 16, 2004With bigger set pieces, larger conflicts, and an improved enemy AI that has "kiss my shiny Covenant arse" written all over it, Halo 2 is what every good sequel should be: super sized and powered up. Look on in disbelief as the enemy reacts instinctively to your presence, then run for the hills as you find yourself outflanked and inevitably out gunned. |

3D Pinball: Space Cadet review (PC)Reviewed on November 15, 20043D Pinball: Space Cadet is really just your typical pinball game. The main difference with this game is that it comes free with any Windows 98 or higher operating system. But with that fact, it also means that there are a few flaws with the game. Things that are free are rarely any good. Rarely. |

Critical Depth review (PSX)Reviewed on November 15, 2004Critical Depth is a very enjoyable action game. It takes vehicular combat to a whole new level, literally. Many people may just find this as another Twisted Metal wannabe, but it’s is different is so many ways. There is a better storyline in Critical Depth, and well, its underwater. Maneuvering with submarines rather than cars is a totally different experience. That’s enough proof for me that it’s an original game. |

Jupiter Strike review (PSX)Reviewed on November 15, 2004Oh man. It’s Jupiter Strike. I knew I would have to face this day sooner or later. It’s now time to write this review. In Jupiter Strike, you fly a spacecraft through outer space while dodging enemy fire and taking down some ships of your own. The game seems typical, right? WRONG! This game is a lot worse than most typical games. The graphics are passable, but everything else in the game is terrible. The sound, controls, storyline, gameplay, and replay value, well, ... |

Lethal Enforcers II: Gun Fighters review (SCD)Reviewed on November 15, 2004Saddle up your horses! There's a shootout at the saloon! Lethal Enforcers II: Gunfighters is the sequel for the very successful Lethal Enforcers game that is still in many video arcades across the nation. This isn't your typical light-gun shooter either. This time around, the game takes place in the Ol' West. You play the role of the local sheriff, and your job is to dispose of the vermin lurking about town. Good luck partner, because these critters aren't giving up without a... |

NFL's Greatest: San Francisco Vs. Dallas 1978-1993 review (SCD)Reviewed on November 15, 2004NFL Greatest Teams, whose real name is NFL's Greatest: San Francisco vs. Dallas, is really the low point of all sports games. The overall concept of the game is to first choose either the San Francisco 49ers or the Dallas Cowboys, which are composed of the franchises' greatest players, followed by choosing a play, and finally watching a real-life video of that play. That's it. You really might as well be watching ESPN Classic. |

NHL '94 review (SCD)Reviewed on November 15, 2004NHL Hockey ‘94 is the best hockey game to be released before the Sony Playstation. It's that simple. What makes it stand out against the rest? Well, there are the improved graphics that the Sega CD version can offer over its competition. There are many modes to keep the gameplay fresh, just in case you ever get tired of just playing regular hockey games. I invite you to continue reading to see what other amazing features lie within NHL Hockey ‘94. |

Metal Arms: Glitch in the System review (GCN)Reviewed on November 15, 2004A game like this is a rarity. It's clearly taken a lot of effort, it's a beautifully crafted title and it's very apparent that publisher Vivendi Universal have splashed out on trying to make this a full-blown robotic romp of an action-adventure. Yet, the marketing's non-existent so there's virtually no hype surrounding it apart from a few veteran gamers on internet forum claiming it to be a "Halo-beater". It may not really be that superior to Halo, but for some reason, despite Metal Arms being a... |

Triple Play Baseball review (PS2)Reviewed on November 15, 2004Triple Play Baseball is the first baseball game released in the U.S. for the Playstation 2. Unfortunately, it came up short of the clearing the fence. With only improved graphics over its Playstation 1 relatives, this game is a disappointing debut on the PS2 for the highly successful baseball series. (Chants of "This game was rushed! This game was rushed!" are heard from the crowd.) |

Jeopardy! review (NES)Reviewed on November 15, 2004Everyone knows of the long-running trivia game, Jeopardy!. I remember even watching it in the fourth grade. Well back in the late eighties, the game was already popular. Thus, video game versions of the show were made. Even an NES version. But was this version as good as the game show? Well, to make a long story short, no. I’ll tell you why. |

Disney's Beauty and the Beast: Roar of the Beast review (GEN)Reviewed on November 15, 2004Well, it’s another licensed game of Disney’s, and this time around, the game is simply horrible. Beauty and the Beast: The Roar of the Beast is a straightforward, side-scrolling platform game in which you play the role of the Beast. The object of the game is to simply destroy all enemies you encounter. It sounds easy, but believe me, this game is the exact opposite of that idea. Here, I’ll tell you why . . . |

Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Dark Side review (SCD)Reviewed on November 15, 2004Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Dark Side is a premier fighting game for the Sega CD. Unfortunately, the Sega CD wasn't very successful as a system, and Eternal Champions didn't get the attention it deserved. And man, did this game ever deserve some attention. For the time and the technology, this game had everything a fighting game should have: tons of action, great storylines, and an immense amount of blood and gore. It's just a great game! |

Power Factory Featuring C+C Music Factory review (SCD)Reviewed on November 15, 2004C+C Music Factory: Make My Video is one of several Make My Video games that were released for the Sega CD. This one features the band, C+C Music Factory. (Other Make My Video games feature bands like Kriss Kross and Inyx, just in case you're wondering.) Yeah, I have never heard of this band either before I played this game. But you have probably heard a couple of their songs. Anyway, the main premise of this game is to create your own music video to one of the band's hi... |
