	Mirror's Edge review (PC) Reviewed by holdthephone on May 24, 2012 - # Her body is an animated powerhouse of immersion, it’s never not enjoyable to use.
	Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure review (DS) Reviewed by Chris_Strott on May 24, 2012 - # Overall Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure is an enjoyable game that is simple to pick up, yet challenging enough to keep you engaged. I recommend it for both puzzle game fans, and plat former fans.
	EvilQuest review (X360) Reviewed by JoeTheDestroyer on May 24, 2012 - # Once the shock that I was playing a wanna-be retro title wore off, all that was left was a basic, by the books action RPG. As Rotten Tomatoes likes to say, it was a genre exercise.
	Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II review (X360) Reviewed by pickhut on May 20, 2012 - # While I'm disheartened that Episode II feels the need to reuse stuff from past titles instead of attempting a 100% fresh game, for what it is... it's still fun to play.
	No Escape! review (A2600) Reviewed by JoeTheDestroyer on May 17, 2012 - # I found myself playing session after session, hopelessly addicted to something so archaic, so simplistic. The furious pace and wicked challenge kept things interesting, and the peculiar enemy designs piqued my interest. I had to see what abomination awaited me in the next round, had to know what abilities it brought to the battle. Most of all, I had to know if I was good enough to survive.
	Tutankham review (A2600) Reviewed by JoeTheDestroyer on May 16, 2012 - # The adventurous moments, the challenge, the action... those are things I remember. It's not that they aren't present, it's just that you have to tolerate a lot of questionable decisions made by the developers. Why can't you shoot vertically? Why sport such drunken play control? Maybe they felt it would have made the game too easy, but I beg to differ. I'm sure they could have found other ways to turn up the challenge.
	Atlantis review (A2600) Reviewed by JoeTheDestroyer on May 14, 2012 - # Even as a kid, I didn't have an especial love for this game. I popped it in to cleansed the old palate. It provids quick and simple action, and sometimes that's all you need. However, the game is so simple, with sessions so short, that it's difficult to stay focused on it for more than a few plays.
	Choaniki: Kyuukyoku Muteki Ginga Saikyou Otoko no Gyakushu review (SAT) Reviewed by pickhut on May 13, 2012 - # !!~CAUTION~!! This review is best read with unsuspecting family members, close friends, or complete strangers for maximum effect. You have been warned.
	Forest review (A2600) Reviewed by JoeTheDestroyer on May 12, 2012 - # This game is the definition of repetition.
	Brave Fencer Musashi review (PSX) Reviewed by pickhut on May 09, 2012 - # Most people anticipated games like Parasite Eve and Xenogears, but I showed zero interest in those, following instead a title called Brave Fencer Musashi. Touted as a 3D adventure similar in style to oldschool games like The Legend of Zelda, I was captivated by the colorful imagery and descriptions in magazines, about a blue-haired sword fighter summoned through time to a kingdom in distress.
	Dragonfire review (A2600) Reviewed by JoeTheDestroyer on May 08, 2012 - # What this game needed was some refinement. Certain areas should have been smoothed out for fairness, other areas more structured to cut the reliance on luck. It had a solid idea, it had a fast pace and it was simple. In some ways it was too fast-paced and too simple.
	Tax Avoiders review (A2600) Reviewed by JoeTheDestroyer on May 07, 2012 - # Dunhill did a great job of adapting a piece of every day life into an arcade game, but they left too much of the game to chance. If there were a way to know which investments were wiser at various points in time, include more brainpower to the equation than simple guess and pray, then this game would have been brilliant. All it took to harm the game's greatness was one small misstep.
	NIER review (PS3) Reviewed by holdthephone on May 07, 2012 - # But right there, right when the dryness is becoming noticeable, the game shape shifts.
	Awesomenauts review (X360) Reviewed by SamildanachEmrys on May 06, 2012 - # Awesomenauts is easy to recommend simply because it’s so different from other experiences available on consoles. It brings in the competitive edge that makes online FPS games so popular but does something wholly different with it.
	Shark Attack review (A2600) Reviewed by JoeTheDestroyer on May 03, 2012 - # It was clear that [the developer] didn't put much time, attention or care into their product, especially when you consider the oversized scuba sprite. A move like that bespeaks lazy and cheap development. In the end, you're left with little reason to play Shark Attack over the piles of more effective Pac-Man clones.
	Street Fighter X Tekken review (PS3) Reviewed by holdthephone on May 02, 2012 - # Problems begin to arise when players realize the clock is running out on them, and often.
	Wolf Fang review (SAT) Reviewed by pickhut on May 01, 2012 - # Vapor Trail has a sequel called Wolf Fang. Let's focus on the more pressing issue first: Vapor Trail managed a sequel.
	Metroid II: Return of Samus review (GB) Reviewed by disco on May 01, 2012 - # Samus may have returned, but as failure.
	ActRaiser review (SNES) Reviewed by zippdementia on April 30, 2012 - # At a time when your simulation options were either Sim City or ActRaiser and games weren't exploring concepts such as existentialism and spirituality, the experience held up a lot better. In other words, ActRaiser's main selling point was how different it was at a time when gamers were eager to see something new. Had ActRaiser been just a great action game, it might not have stood out so much in 1990, but it would still be enjoyable now.
	Circus Caper review (NES) Reviewed by aschultz on April 28, 2012 - # I felt little guilt replaying through it with cheats on, and I recommend anyone who wants to check it out do the same...But fortunately the cheap deaths will fade away much sooner than the bears on unicycles and such instead.
