Metroid: Zero Mission review
With that said, I was also happy to see that this game doesn't lead you by the hand to the same degree that Metroid Fusion did with its 'computer' set-up. It's still quite possible to get lost and wonder where you should head next. The map…

Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles review
On May 19th of 1999, millions of people gathered to watch a movie that would change their lives forever. Some of these people were normal, like you and me, while others were dressed as Darth Vader, Chewbacca and Boba Fett. As the theater…

Sim Golf review
Spare me the responsibility of running an entire community that struggles with basic city troubles like dangerous crime, disgusting pollution, nuclear meltdowns and giant radioactive man-eating beasts crawling up the skyscrapers -- I'd…

Abadox: The Deadly Inner War review
IMPENDING MIDGET PUN Abadox is comparable to a group of midgets. They’re cool to look at, but no one would actually want to play with them for long in real life. You’d probably get tired of them or they’d get relatively annoying (unless…

Air Duel review
If you can count on one thing in the wild and wacky world of video games, it’s that if someone comes up with a good idea, other companies will attempt to cash in on it. For the most part, this is a good thing. After all, it is rare that a…

Garou: Mark of the Wolves review
SNK has always been the glorious underdog of fighting games. Due to being mostly arcade based, since the Neo Geo's success can be considered laughable at best, not many gamers were able to be exposed to SNK's impressive work. Since games…

Donkey Kong 64 review
You are running through the jungle -- a virtual jungle, but a jungle nonetheless. Through the jungle you continue to run, you notice the purple textured rocks around you and hear the birdcalls. This jungle is aesthetically pleasing. You…

Verytex review
Area three takes us back 'outdoors', over Earth perhaps, high enough to skip through the clouds, but low enough to witness clearly the wake of alien conquest. Surely this 'ravaged metropolis' scene is shooter cliché, but decent execution…

Zombie Revenge review
Zombies are the greatest videogame villains of all time, with the exception of those darned Nazis. Whether they are chomping some flesh or just moaning erotically, you just can’t resist killing them. Sure, they have become a bit…

Top Spin review
''Tennis? Boring.'' That is the response one might get when talking about Tennis. It's really not the most popular sport out there to watch, or play. If you give it a chance though, it is a lot of fun to play, like a really advanced…

Shenmue II review
The original Shenmue was a pretty big hit for a Dreamcast game, considering the lack of owners, so naturally a sequel was highly anticipated. American gamers got a nasty shock though, when they found out Shenmue 2 would be coming out only…

Dragon Warrior review
''Why am I still playing this game?'' I asked myself as I slowly trudged through enemy after enemy, desperately trying to build my level, and gold so I could cross a bridge and do it all over again. Despite the voices in my head pleading…

Master of Darkness review
In the early 1990s some very imaginative game designer noticed that both the fictional Dracula story and the real-life case of Jack the Ripper took place in the 1880s and 90s, and decided to bring the two together. AT LAST! Thus begins…

Heroes of the Lance review
If you wish to study the phenomenon of 'binary gamer polarisation', one of the classic case studies is the 1988 cross-platform fantasy adventure Heroes of the Lance. There are gamers who will tell you that 'Heroes' is undeniably the worst…

Bees and bears today they're chasing me, oh no! Play in my garden I love to watch the flowers grow. Such a sunny day there's something you should know, and that is Life's a girl's garden after all! Yes, it was I who wrote these lyrics to…

Bokosuka Wars review
Fear. Dread. BOKOSUKA. In some circles, The Worst Game Of All Time. I'd heard rumours that to even whisper half of this game's title aloud would cause all gamers in a 30 mile radius to instantly drop dead from an acute dose of existential…

Paperboy review
Many Sunny Sundays in my adolescent years were spent at friends' houses after a sleepover just playing games on the Commodore 64 all morning. (Don't worry, I'll get to the MasterSystem in a moment.) You could wag your finger at me and say…

Altered Beast review
Altered Beast in all its forms has always worried at my psyche. It's a game for which I have strong pangs of contrary feeling. I say to myself 'I admire this game! It's very nasty and I like it!' But whenever I play it again, I'm never…
