	Fable: The Lost Chapters review (XBX) Reviewed by mgtonvac55 on July 19, 2007 - # Fable: The Lost Chapters is a re-release of the original RPG to hit the Xbox. The original's rushed development led to the game being unfinished and extremely short. The approximate 33% added content does a lot to lengthen the game; it adds a total of about five hours of game-play. The much boasted about additional content is a small selection of new armor and weapons, new tattoos, two new spells, and an entirely new part of Albion for you to explore. The new area is one new town and it's outski...
	Scurge: Hive review (DS) Reviewed by Suskie on July 18, 2007 - # You know her type – she’s an intergalactic bounty hunter. Working for a futuristic space federation, she scours the universe battling evil through countless attempts to restore peace and justice to our existence. Donning a unique spacesuit and sporting all manner of lasers and explosives, she’s equipped to handle just about anything, and if there’s an alien infestation or virus outbreak that must be dealt with, you know who to call.
	.hack Part 1: Infection review (PS2) Reviewed by espiga on July 18, 2007 - # The following is a completely true story.
	Cool Croc Twins review (C64) Reviewed by KompressorFromGFAQs on July 17, 2007 - # Allow yourself to be subjected to one of the cheesiest-but-good platformer-action type games from 1992. It drips with style and cool, or it at the very least tries to. You are one cool crocodile. You wear your baseball cap backwards because you need to let the world know that you're the coolest thing in this universe and in any other universe that may exist. Your brother, however, disagrees. He wears his sunglasses with pride and he is convinced that the world could never comprehend the full ext...
	Christmas NiGHTS review (SAT) Reviewed by pickhut 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.
	Metal Gear Solid review (GBC) Reviewed by johnny_cairo on July 16, 2007 - # Treating Metal Gear Solid as an unchangable work of art probably wasn't the most intelligent thing Konami could have done with this 8-bit re-imagining. Its story is almost an exact retelling only with different character names and a less snowy climate, while its gameplay is quite faithful to the terrible standard set by the original. There's even VR training like you would find on the PSX incarnation. A drastically stripped down version, anyhow, but they get their two points for trying. I...
	Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat review (GCN) Reviewed by wayne_steed on July 16, 2007 - # Do you remember when they used to make good, classic Donkey Kong games? You know, the side-scrolling kind? With the release of the original Donkey Kong Country for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, the Kongo Jungle was the place to be. Two characters, platforming goodness, plenty o' stages, good graphics (for the time)-- the game was a prime example of what your average layman's DK fix ought to be.
	Final Fantasy XII review (PS2) Reviewed by carcinogen_crush on July 16, 2007 - # Progression is a simple concept, I thought. You give me money for every hour of work I put into your company and eventually, there may come a day when you decide to give me more money. . . for whatever reason.
	Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne review (XBX) Reviewed by carcinogen_crush on July 16, 2007 - # Currently, on Max Payne. . .
	Alien Vendetta review (PC) Reviewed by mardraum on July 14, 2007 - # Alien Vendetta is everything that Final Doom's The Plutonia Experiment should have been, a brutal pack of levels unbeatable by all but the hardiest veterans of Doom II's Ultra-Violence difficulty. Tough enemies aren't tough when Plutonia's level design lets you pick them off and the only choice to be made is whether you'll do the deed with your hundreds of rockets or dozens of BFG cells. It's unsettling to see demons from Doom II's endgame hanging around in the very first map, but the whole thin...
	Drakengard 2 review (PS2) Reviewed by Genj on July 14, 2007 - # Drakengard 2 will piss off Drakengard fans. It’s your standard bad sequel, but it goes further than that. Developers Cavia actually took steps in the right direction and then blew it. With the tweaked mechanics of the flawed yet beloved original game, Drakengard 2 should have been a worthy sequel and one kick ass brawler. Instead, Cavia implemented other “improvements” in hopes of adding variety and eliminating repetition. The resulting game is an awkward mix of brawling, to...
	NiGHTS into dreams review (SAT) Reviewed by pickhut on July 14, 2007 - # NiGHTS into Dreams... has got to be the prettiest time attack game I've ever played.
	Syphon Filter review (PSX) Reviewed by johnny_cairo on July 14, 2007 - # In the spring of 1999, following the milky virtual explosion known as Metal Gear Solid, Sony had their precisely engineered follow-up with a similarly nonsensical title: Syphon Filter. Part Tomb Raider, part GoldenEye, wholly derivative; a "syphon filter" is not something you use when stealing gas out of your neighbor's SUV, but rather a fictional supervirus that makes ethnic cleansing as easy as A-B-C. A worthwhile thing for terrorists to steal, for sure, which is wh...
	Romancing SaGa review (PS2) Reviewed by carcinogen_crush on July 14, 2007 - # Snow capped summits and frozen glaciers in the winter-land of Valhalland. Sand that burns so hot under the sun that it threatens to eat through your boots, in the confusion of storms that are the Kaklim Desert. Kick back a drink with the local miners at the quaint workman's village of Aurefont.
	Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2 review (DS) Reviewed by woodhouse on July 13, 2007 - # With DS rhythm games winning hearts on both sides of the Pacific, iNiS has developed a formula that works, and Moero Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii Osu Tatakae Ouendan 2 doesn’t deviate from the mold. The musical adventure follows the (mostly) male cheerleading crew introduced in the first Ouendan; you must aid their efforts to boost the spirits of people in need. It then borrows the best technical features from its American cousin, Elite Beat Agents, to offer a subtly improv...
	N3: Ninety-Nine Nights review (X360) Reviewed by mardraum on July 12, 2007 - # mardraum: HOLY SHIT
	Dragon Quest V: Tenkuu no Hanayome review (SNES) Reviewed by espiga on July 12, 2007 - # There comes a time in everyone's life when they reflect back on their accomplishments and question if what they've worked so hard for has truly been worthwhile. For the hero of this tale, the silent, violet-clad, nameless (until you give him one anyway) protagonist has had quite a lot to reflect upon. His mother disappeared early in his life, and he was raised by his father, who traveled with him all over kingdom come. So much, in fact, that our young hero, a mere five years of age, can't even r...
	The Barbie Diaries: High School Mystery review (GBA) Reviewed by pickhut on July 11, 2007 - # If you ever get around to playing The Barbie Diaries: High School Mystery, then your health and safety may be at risk. As the warning screen at the start says, you need to read the Health and Safety Precautions Booklet before you start the game, because the last thing we need are people having heart attacks or exploding. Barbie demands it.
	Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles review (C64) Reviewed by MercenaryCobra1 on July 11, 2007 - # Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was one of the hottest franchises of the eighties(and slightly, the nineties). Quickly, Ultra worked at releasing a game for multiple systems that was based on these young heroes. One version hit the NES and fans cheered. Another of these versions hit the Commodore 64, and Commodore fans cheered...for about thirty seconds, I assume. Simply put, this is NOT the C-64 game that fans were looking for at all...
	Frightmare review (C64) Reviewed by MercenaryCobra1 on July 11, 2007 - # A realm of shadows and horrors awaits those who insert the disk containing this game into their system. But will those nightmares follow you after you turn the computer off?
