	Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon review (PC) Reviewed on October 25, 2012 I remembered how much fun I had as a kid joining the purple car and his dog Pep on their adventures, and so I brought the PC home along with my old computer games and dusted them off. Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon booted, reintroducing me to the nostalgic music of MS-DOS quality. It took nearly thirty minutes of playtime for me to guide Putt-Putt and Pep from Earth to the moon and back, and at the end of it all I just felt good. Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon is a fantastic game.
	Zombies Ate My Neighbors review (SNES) Reviewed on October 25, 2012 Without missing a beat, I crushed all opposition, rescued every neighbor, and stockpiled weapons and items like mad. With fluid and fast-paced mechanics paired with simple arcade-style action, it was difficult not to stomp my enemies into the ground and develop a complex.
	Frankenstein: The Monster Returns review (NES) Reviewed on October 24, 2012 ...[Frankenstein: The Monster Returns] is a ho-hum action title unworthy of your valuable time and brain cells. Skip it and read the original novel instead.
	Final Fantasy VIII review (PSX) Reviewed on October 23, 2012 Yet often too fantastical to believe, the game seems eerily aware of its own incredibility.
	Radiant Silvergun review (X360) Reviewed on October 22, 2012 We really do live in fortunate times. Used to be that if you wanted to play a game like Radiant Silvergun, you had to own a Sega Saturn. Worse, you had to own a Japanese Sega Saturn or doll up your inferior North American console with a boot disc to get the darn thing to play. Now, thanks to Xbox Live Arcade, you don’t have to do that. You don’t have to own a stodgy video game consoles procured from some shady eBay urchin (our product *like new* A++++++++++++++), and you don’t have to plop d...
	Frankenstein's Monster review (A2600) Reviewed on October 22, 2012 Its thanks to its simple structure, swift pace, and impressive implementation of an actual ending that Frankenstein's Monster is a stellar entry into Atari 2600's library. Unfortunately, it's not a well-known title, though it deserve to be. I say this because it's unlike other obscure Atari 2600 titles in that it's actually worth playing for fans of the console.
	Resident Evil 6 review (X360) Reviewed on October 21, 2012 I guess the enemy design is pretty cool for being imaginative, but the enemies employed by Resident Evil 6 are so different from the series’ earlier installments that they may as well serve as the crux for an entirely different intellectual property all together. The zombies may have made a return, but they’re flanked by a motley band of foes that range from Arkham Asylum foot soldiers to Graveler from Pokemon Red/Blue. Mid-way through Chris’s campaign, the enemies will abruptly change from gr...
	Pokemon Blue review (GB) Reviewed on October 21, 2012 Pokémon Red and Blue started a huge franchise and helped prolong the Game Boy, getting many casual gamers on board like Tetris did ten years prior. Single-player trainer battles may be mostly mundane, but leveling up feels very rewarding, as does the intentionally difficult task of catching 150 Pokémon.
	Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit review (X360) Reviewed on October 20, 2012 One moment, you'll "casually" fight a cybernetic, visor-wearing panda with your bazooka, and in another instance, you'll be shot out of numerous, fancy-pants cannons in an Egyptian casino, in an attempt to reach Zeus, finishing him off with a Jules Winnfield-esque Ash firing a giant bullet.
	Dr. Chaos review (NES) Reviewed on October 15, 2012 At no point was I required to execute tough leaps or weave through a complex arrangement of platforms while worrying about a nearby winged skeleton. Everything was straightforward and obvious, and actually quite dull. Such vapidity brought down the experience as a whole and left me with a new unfortunate outlook on the game.
	NiGHTS into Dreams review (X360) Reviewed on October 14, 2012 The Sega Saturn is a go. It’s out at stores near you. It’s bigger, badder, and more uncut than any piddly PSX. It features Sonic Team’s, and therefore SEGA’s, most state-of-the-art Sonic title. It’s called NiGHTS into Dreams. It’s so cutting edge, it bypasses traditional titular capitalization standards and offers full-blown 3D models to the tune of all that jazz. Many who own a Saturn come to own this game, or at least play it. To everyone’s satisfaction, NiGHTS becomes a must-hav...
	Ghost Manor review (A2600) Reviewed on October 14, 2012 Ghost Manor sacrifices incremental difficulty boosts for variety, essentially providing you with multiple "level ones" that lack the challenge, bite and addictiveness of a typical 2600 game.
	Vampire Rain review (X360) Reviewed on October 13, 2012 For five years, Vampire Rain had me spooked, and not because of the experience I had with it. In fact, I never even played this release until 2012.
	Dishonored review (X360) Reviewed on October 12, 2012 It's not the shooting or the sneaking or the cutting of throats that makes Dishonored fun. So many games are all about figuring out precisely what the developers intended for you to do. In Dishonored, you'll frequently do things that the developers didn't intend, but it'll work anyway, and it'll be awesome.
	BloodRayne review (GCN) Reviewed on October 11, 2012 BloodRayne is not a taut scare game or a breathtaking artsy experience. It's an over-the-top action title with horror elements that hits all of the right marks, and sometimes that's all you need.
	Zombie Shooter 2 review (PC) Reviewed on October 09, 2012 Even as a cheap thrill, Zombie Shooter 2 fails to impress, as its unwarranted frustration factor will leave you looking for a more intense and less irksome experience.
	Slender: The Eight Pages review (PC) Reviewed on October 08, 2012 When I think about my favorite fear moments in video games, the ones that come immediately to mind are those in which I’ve had no ability to fight. Escaping from the Nemesis in Raccoon City; pounding my way through rooms in the Himuro mansion while being pursued by the unstoppable Kirie; desperately fleeing horrifying visions in Amnesia; these define what I look for in a true horror experience. Those moments are all Slender is.
	Wonder Boy review (SMS) Reviewed on October 06, 2012 Ask any owner of the console if there were any franchises synonymous with the Master System, and you'll likely get Alex Kidd or Wonder Boy as your top answer.
	Clock Tower review (PSX) Reviewed on October 03, 2012 Clock Tower has some bite to it, mostly because you are not as enabled as Leon Kennedy or even Alan Wake. Your choice of heroes includes a school girl, her not-combat-trained friend, an investigator, and a reporter. In other words, you're screwed.
	Soul review (X360) Reviewed on October 01, 2012 I wish I could further yammer on about Soul and its face-breaking difficulty, but the truth is it's a very simple, straightforward game. What you see is what you get. You guide a soul through passageways and try not to touch obstructions. This is familiar territory, as it has been covered by many a flash game.
