	Virtua Fighter CG Portrait Series Vol. 2: Jacky Bryant review (SAT) Reviewed on May 03, 2009 Virtua Fighter CG Portrait Series Vol 2 highlights these traits by showing Jacky playing with a Dalmation, going grocery shopping and entering a deserted bar to play a rousing game of pool. By himself.
	Panzer Dragoon review (SAT) Reviewed on April 12, 2009 I'm going to throw you back in time for a few minutes, when the Sega Saturn performed a sneak attack launch on North America. Pretend that you just bought the console, and you've played the hell out of the pack-in game, Virtua Fighter. Of course, playing one fighting game over and over again eventually becomes repetitive, so you go out to buy another Saturn title to invest your time in. What are your choices? Well, there's a port of a racing game that you've played a million times in the arcade,...
	F1 Challenge review (SAT) Reviewed on April 06, 2009 For those who enjoyed Daytona USA and Championship Circuit Edition, and are looking for something similar, F1 Challenge should provide... a nice alternative.
	Robotica review (SAT) Reviewed on March 24, 2009 For a first-generation Saturn title, Robotica started out quite promising with its cool intro. Hell, it wasn't very grainy and in full screen! As scenes of three robots, named Laocorns, heading towards a fortress, which was attached to an asteroid, and hovering over Earth, were being shown, a narrator was explaining the story. In a nutshell, the World Silent Security Service has been monitoring every single thing that has happened on Earth for the past 8...
	Spot Goes to Hollywood review (SAT) Reviewed on March 10, 2009 Cool Spot was a game I never played that much, especially back when it was released for the Sega Genesis. However, despite that, it still managed to leave a lasting impression on me. Whenever I think of the game, one of the first things I automatically remember is the opening, where Spot, a red dot with shades, the 7 UP mascot, jumps in and out of the SEGA logo, which is shortly followed by Spot pushing the giant Virgin Interactive logo on screen, all by himself. Then, finally, the title screen ...
	Shinrei Jusatsushi Taromaru review (SAT) Reviewed on October 11, 2008 Once you get past the quirky control scheme, this game — the tale of a psychic monk gorily slaughtering feudal Japanese demons — really is pretty damn cool.
	Virtua Fighter CG Portrait Series Vol. 9: Kage Maru review (SAT) Reviewed on October 03, 2008 Dear friends, I am about to admit something that I’m sure no one will forgive me for. It’s something I should have known about for ages, but sadly, I did not, thanks to my restricted knowledge of video games a child.
	Virtua Fighter CG Portrait Series Vol. 1: Sarah Bryant review (SAT) Reviewed on July 20, 2008 The next shot is of her abandoned beech-towel and parasol. I start rooting for Sarah, hoping she can get away! She fails. We find her slinging a pair of flowers over her shoulder and snarling at the screen. Some people might mistake it for a light-hearted grin but, by now, we know better.
	Skull Fang review (SAT) Reviewed on July 01, 2008 Skull Fang (Vapor Trail Gaiden) is one of those games that's really hard to recommend because it has an equal balance of good and bad game design and presentation value. It's got everything a shooter needs and everything a shooter doesn't need, but the overall experience is difficult to describe.
	Steam-Heart's review (SAT) Reviewed on June 30, 2008 I'll admit I have pretty low taste in games sometimes especially shooters, but that's mostly due to the fact that the shoot em' up genre is sort of like Black Metal music: it always delivers whatever you're seeking and when a shooter introduces new and interesting concepts or aesthetics, then there's no denying you're getting more bang for your buck.
	Metal Black review (SAT) Reviewed on June 30, 2008 Shoot em Ups have had a bad rep for a long time mostly because a lot of them seem rather similar to each other with a good majority of them taking place in space and involving silvery-white space-fighters depending entirely on power-ups to survive. Every once in a blue moon however a shooter comes along that, despite being as identical as its shooter brethren, establishes itself as one that stands out amongst the crowd with all the right aspects including a unique soundtrack, a unique theme and ...
	Shinobi Legions review (SAT) Reviewed on March 12, 2008 Shinobi III was an awesome ninja game, most likely the best ninja game of the 90s. You had a really flexible ninja, which made attacking your enemies easy once you master his moves. Though, that didn't mean the game itself was gonna be a breeze to go through. You were attacked by ninjas, soldiers, kite ninjas, evil brains, ninjas on hovercrafts, robots, ninjas with wings, a giant, mutated freak, and, of course, Mechagodzilla. It was a really fun title that took you all over the place, from a sim...
	Gals Panic SS review (SAT) Reviewed on January 26, 2008 This atypically console-native edition of Gals Panic is hands down the best offering in the beloved “uncover a glowing silhouette to see some skin” genre – which is why it gets a seven. No seriously, it’s actually a surprisingly decent puzzle game featuring virtually identical gameplay to the arcade-only Gals Panic 4 along with that installment’s unusually tame content.
	The Horde review (SAT) Reviewed on July 23, 2007 Do The Horde next -- that won't get a 7!
	Christmas NiGHTS review (SAT) Reviewed on July 16, 2007 When you begin Christmas NiGHTS, you realize there's only one dream to play in, Spring Valley. That's nothing compared to the original title's seven dreams, and you assume you'll finish this game in a matter of minutes, living up to being a sampler. Shockingly, that's not the case, and it actually ends up being better than its predecessor.
	NiGHTS into Dreams... review (SAT) Reviewed on July 14, 2007 NiGHTS into Dreams... has got to be the prettiest time attack game I've ever played.
	Street Fighter: The Movie review (SAT) Reviewed on July 04, 2007 When I popped this CD into my Saturn, I was pumped. Yes, I was looking forward to playing Street Fighter: The Movie. I mean, finally, a video game that gives me the opportunity to play as Kylie Minogue! So, as I pass the title screen and enter Movie Battle mode, I was ready to rock out with her. However, once the first "cutscene" (a still picture from the movie and some text) was finished, I was stuck in a fight controlling Jean-Claude Van Damme. I was bummed out... for a few seconds. The...
	Snatcher review (SAT) Reviewed on June 19, 2007 Snatcher remains an excellent game in any form, even if all Konami really offers here is one major improvement in exchange for some noticeably detracting changes.
	Die Hard Arcade review (SAT) Reviewed on June 18, 2007 It's quiet. Too quiet. As your red battleship sits at the very top of the screen doing nothing, the rest of the watery field that takes up most of the screen... also has nothing going on with it. But then you look at the sonar and see a bunch of dots arriving from the left and right side of your screen. Seconds later, white submarines pop up and start launching torpedoes to the surface. Obviously, this is the point where you counterattack by throwing depth charges into the sea. It starts off a b...
	Bug! review (SAT) Reviewed on June 04, 2007 There was something oddly familiar about BUG! when I played it for the first time. It reminded me of another game. But as I made my way through the first area, going in and out of the background on a maze-like, narrow path, I couldn't put my finger on it. I just kept going through these long acts, collecting blue crystals scattered everywhere, jumping on top of various bugs with unusual designs (one's outer skin falls down when you attack him, revealing his boxers), and venturing into sim...
