	Shaq-Fu review (SNES) Reviewed on February 22, 2006 If you’ve been playing games and surfing the internet for any considerable length of time, you’ve no doubt come across a review of Shaq Fu that was filled with witty remarks, jabs at Shaq’s bald head, and the unabashed bashing of voodoo (something that Shaq Fu proudly supports) No doubt, said review convinced you that Shaq Fu sucks, complaining about it’s bad storyline and its bad graphics and its bad controls.	2.5/5
	Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition review (PS2) Reviewed on February 16, 2006 That’s why Special Edition succeeds as a game and as a re-release: It makes things simple without making them easy. Forget the smooth control system or the sweet level design; I’m talking about the accessibility. How the game offers difficulties for all skill levels, tailored for the weakest of the weak and the hardest of the hardcore.	4.5/5
	Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects review (XBX) Reviewed on February 07, 2006 3-D comic battles have something that 2-D just can’t touch. Hiding behinds walls and trucks, dodging and running to stay one step ahead. Cars explode, the pavement cracks, the walls crumble and anyone familiar with comics won’t be surprised. After all, when you’re dealing with bruisers like the Ever Lovin’ Blue-Eyed Thing or the Invincible Iron Man, property damage is a given.	3/5
	Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction review (PS2) Reviewed on January 30, 2006 But it’s never hopeless. There are no dead ends. There’s always some way, some strategy, some spin that can turn the hardest mission into the easiest. Victory comes from ingenuity.	4/5
	Spider-Man review (N64) Reviewed on January 20, 2006 It was a magic-spider, he was chosen by a spider-god, he gave birth to himself (long story)…some writers just don’t seem to get it. Simplicity works wonders. Same with life, same with comics, same with games.	5/5
	Spartan: Total Warrior review (PS2) Reviewed on January 17, 2006 The Spartan is at his best when he’s just going around killing stuff, and the game gives you plenty of chance to do that. Sometimes he kills alone, outnumbered by twenty, thirty, maybe even forty. Sometimes he’s fighting with his buddies, playing the odd-evener when they’re outmanned. But the situation and the location don’t matter: the Spartan was born to end lives, and he follows his calling.	3.5/5
	Stay Tooned! review (PC) Reviewed on January 13, 2006 I'd bet you've never seen Stay Tooned! before, and I'd also bet why: it's a decade-old graphic adventure that gets wrongly marked as edutainment. A game with a worse rep there may be, but I haven't heard of it.	4/5
	Kirby Super Star review (SNES) Reviewed on January 11, 2006 With eight games stuffed in the cart, Kirby Super Star looks like precisely what it is: A compilation game. But this isn’t some mega-collection of past Kirby games, this is a tour de force of Kirby; Bohemian Rhapsody in videogame form. It starts out slow, gains momentum, brings out the electric guitar and ends with speakers blasting.	4.5/5
	GUN review (GCN) Reviewed on January 06, 2006 Life's never been fair, it'll never be fair, and it sure as hell wasn't fair in the Wild West. But that’s Gun: true to the real.	4.5/5
	Suikoden Tactics review (PS2) Reviewed on January 04, 2006 But don’t start thinking that this is just your standard war game, because that’s the kind of thinking that gets your ass kicked. Suikoden Tactics has some surprises.	3.5/5
	Soulcalibur III review (PS2) Reviewed on December 30, 2005 “NAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMUUUUUUU!!”	4/5
	L.A. Rush review (PS2) Reviewed on December 30, 2005 When I’m speeding through Los Angeles and I look behind to see twenty cops cars in hot pursuit, I half-expect a jazz band to start playing.	3.5/5
	Fighter Maker 2 review (PS2) Reviewed on December 24, 2005 If you put enough time and effort into it, you have a chance of enjoying RPG Maker 2 and making something decent with it. But no matter what you do, Fighter Maker 2 is always going to be a piece of crap.	1/5
	Shadow the Hedgehog review (GCN) Reviewed on December 23, 2005 So fast, so furious, so out-of-control, so insane…this is the essence of intense. You are the embodiment of speed, the epitome of alacrity. You’re running 720 MPH straight down the Highway to Hell, quaking soldiers at your front and broken bodies at your back.	3.5/5
	Predator: Concrete Jungle review (PS2) Reviewed on December 23, 2005 That’s not to say you can’t have fun. Killing people is a time-honored tradition among the average gamer, and nobody kills people better than a Predator.	3.5/5
	The Matrix: Path of Neo review (PS2) Reviewed on December 15, 2005 Granted, I’m not saying it’s the greatest game of the year, or the month, or even the week. It’s got problems…but it’s got strengths, too, and some damn good ones. You’ve got to look at it from a Blue Pill/Red Pill perspective.	3/5
	Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter review (PS2) Reviewed on December 12, 2005 You make the best plan, you execute it…and you still wind up dead. Something of a bitch, isn’t it?	4/5
	Magna Carta: Tears of Blood review (PS2) Reviewed on December 05, 2005 They’re all orphans. They all lost their loved ones to war. They all love brooding about it at the slightest provocation. The only person who doesn’t routinely go into a whine-fest is the panty-stealing pervert of the group, Chris, and even he has his moments. Magna Carta is THE game for Linkin Park-listening, depressed teenager, perfect for the ‘emo’ crowd. Boyfriend left you? Failing in school? Not enough hair gel? One or two cutscenes full of angst-ridden hack writing and life will be worth living again, guaranteed.	1/5
	True Crime: New York City review (PS2) Reviewed on November 23, 2005 What happens next is a scene fit for a John Woo movie, dropping you right back into Marcus’ sneakers and getting to the action. A massive gunfight that takes you down hallways, peeking around corners and scoring headshots, using theatre seats for cover and littering the floor with blood and shells. And the fat lady sings during the entire bullet ballet, cementing the scene’s cinematic feel.	4.5/5
	Tech Romancer review (DC) Reviewed on November 17, 2005 Wrecking buildings, shooting eye-beam lasers, and kicking a giant alien in the crotch: Priceless	4/5
