	Sleuth review (PC) Reviewed on September 16, 2005 Sleuth is my favorite PC game of all time, barely edging out the classic and also uber-addicting Sim City 2000 for that prestigious honor. The object of the game is fairly simple: you are to investigate the murder of a person in a house, by asking people questions, examining items, and checking alibis. You basically get to play a detective in this game, and not only that, the game manages to be quite addicting and unique, but has that special atmosphere of danger and mystery that few games could...	5/5
	Fisher Price: I Can Remember review (NES) Reviewed on September 14, 2005 I Can Remember.	4/5
	Dragon Warrior II review (NES) Reviewed on September 14, 2005 It's really amazing how Enix's first two role playing games turned out. The first one, Dragon Warrior, was full of holes and flaws and yet still turned out to be one of the more enjoyable games ever released for the NES. The sequel brought along new ideas and fixed up some of the many flaws found in the original. You would think that this would mean that Dragon Warrior 2 is a better game than its predecessor, but then, what would be so amazing about that?	1/5
	Dragon Warrior review (NES) Reviewed on September 14, 2005 THE RPG REVOLUTION STARTS!!!!1!!1! But is it a good start?	3.5/5
	WWF No Mercy review (N64) Reviewed on September 14, 2005 It's no secret that I am a huge wrestling fan. Despite the fact I have suddenly become disinterested due to the stupid storylines and lack of any sort of continuance, I still enjoy watching wrestling. There has been a sudden explosion of popularity in recent years for the ''sport'', therefore, it comes as no surprise that a ton of wrestling games have been released lately. While each of them have their own qualities and flaws, I think it is safe to say that no wrestling game has ever come as clo...	5/5
	Circus Caper review (NES) Reviewed on September 14, 2005 For Christmas one year, I wanted my mom to get me either Super Mario Brothers 2 or Double Dragon 2. You know, a simple decision, they both have 2 after them, etc.	4.5/5
	Breath of Fire III review (PSX) Reviewed on September 14, 2005 Sometimes, a game just shouldn't be made. An idea is executed sloppily, and the developers know it. However, they also know that the game could probably sell millions of copies no matter what kind of crap is thrown into it, so they end up taking a chance and releasing the shoddy production anyways. Capcom is the king of doing this, and their most disastrous example of this low-ball marketing plot is Breath of Fire 3.	1.5/5
	Castlevania II: Simon's Quest review (NES) Reviewed on September 12, 2005 I hate Simon's Quest.	1/5
	Mega Man 6 review (NES) Reviewed on September 12, 2005 It's no secret that no one really likes Mega Man 6 as much as I do. One look at any review of it would be proof of that. I think the reason for this is simply that the over saturation of the Mega Man series toyed with people's emotions, because there is no way this is a bad game. Sure, it may just be more of the same stuff that the previous five games in the series provided, but if you take a minute and stop to think about it, you will realize that Capcom actually added a lot of new stuff that p...	5/5
	Predator review (NES) Reviewed on September 12, 2005 Predator is one of my all time favorite movies. Featuring a group of tough army soldiers sent to a Central American jungle to kill Colombian drug smugglers and who then proceed to run into a huge problem not of this earth, it was an incredibly fun and action-packed movie. It also featured one of my favorite enemies ever, The Predator, who was just too bad ass for words to describe. When I heard there was a NES game for it recently, I was estatic. Finally, I could get a chance to play one of my a...	2/5
	Tales of Destiny II review (PSX) Reviewed on June 14, 2005 Tales of Destiny II is a bit of a misleading title, as the game really has nothing to do with the original title that was released a few years prior to this one. You see, Namco got the brilliant idea to rename their Japanese title "Tales of Eternia" into a more noticable title to attract sales and attention from stubborn Americans. It didn't work, as the game didn't sell too many copies, and it just led to confusion, especially when the real Tales of Destiny 2, an actual sequel to the original, ...	5/5
	Tales of Destiny review (PSX) Reviewed on June 14, 2005 When going through a list of role playing games for the Playstation I had to play through a year ago (not really had to play, per se, more or less wanting to play them), one game struck my eye as being one I really wanted to play. That game? None other than Tales of Destiny. Made by Namco as the sequel to the classic Tales of Phantasia for the Super Famicom, Tales of Destiny, while being underrated in my book, is not really as great as some of its fans claim. Sure, most of the elements of the ga...	4/5
	Dino Crisis 2 review (PSX) Reviewed on March 22, 2005 To say I was impressed with the original Dino Crisis would be an extreme understatement, and would probably be a travesty to my feelings of the game. I enjoyed playing the original immensely, despite the fact I found it to have some flaws. Of course, I am one of those people that can find flaws in any game, but that does not take away from the fun factor I experience with these games, at all. I definitely enjoyed playing the original Dino Crisis, because it took everything I liked about Resident...	2.5/5
	Legendary Wings review (NES) Reviewed on March 22, 2005 After reviewing Activision Classics, I realized just how many damn shooter ripoffs there were out there to choose from. Almost every Atari game was apparently a ripoff of Space Invaders. And there were a lot of vertical scrolling, and side scrolling shooters to choose from on the NES, as well. Legendary Wings was yet another example of this, but like most of the other ones, it's still a lot of fun to play. I've always been a big fan of the genre, and feel Legendary Wings brings a lot to the tabl...	4/5
	Mega Man 2 review (NES) Reviewed on March 22, 2005 ''Best Mega Man game ever.''	1.5/5
	Metroid review (NES) Reviewed on March 22, 2005 Released in 1986, Metroid chronicles the adventure of a young bounty hunter named Samus Aran, whose mission is simple: to exterminate the remaining Metroids and bring peace to the galaxy. It's a pretty original storyline for its day, and it blends in well with the space-like atmosphere of the game. The storyline was even used as the focal point of later efforts, so more points to it there for actually starting a continual storyline.	3/5
	Sonic the Hedgehog 3 review (GEN) Reviewed on March 08, 2005 The Sonic series never really reached the legendary status many expected, at least it didn't in my mind. Surely, no one was ready for the series to fall apart like it did, at least not after its blazing start, but some would question whether or not the Sonic series was ever great. While the series has had its share of fans, there has also been its detractors, which has compared the series to a lackluster attempt at a new Mario series under the Sega name.	2.5/5
	Sonic the Hedgehog Spinball review (GEN) Reviewed on March 08, 2005 When the Sonic series started to get really popular, it was inevitable that Sega would begin to slowly produce more and more Sonic games. However, not all of them could be the fun and fast platforming adventures we were used to, right? Therefore, Sega had to take some risks if they were to pimp out the Sonic series. Their first really ''innovative'' (if you could call it that) idea was to put Sonic into a pinball game. Well, I certainly admire their braveness. The Sonic fans were needy and greed...	4/5
	NHL '95 review (GEN) Reviewed on March 08, 2005 I love the NHL series of video games that were released by EA Sports for the Genesis in the later parts of the 90's, and it all started with NHL'94, which I find to be one of the best hockey games of all time. It was also the game that started the whole series, and it will always have a special place in my heart because of this. NHL '95 is a worthwhile addition to the series, and actually outclasses the original in many regards. I would choose NHL '95 to be the best hockey game on the Genesis th...	4.5/5
	NBA Jam review (GEN) Reviewed on March 08, 2005 We all have heard of the NBA Jam series. Even non-basketball fans love the game for the unique style of gameplay it brings to the table. You see, most basketball games are simulations of real NBA action. And that's fine, as there are some incredible basketball games out there that I do recommend playing without a shadow of a doubt. But, once in a while there's always room for a different style of a game. And that's where NBA Jam comes into play.	4.5/5
