	Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean review (GCN) Reviewed on April 30, 2007 When thinking about Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean, one mundane locale sticks in my head. It’s a simple airship port nestled on the side of a mountain. We view it from such a distance that the gnarled rock inhabits most of the left side screen. Gigantic faces are haphazardly sculpted into ledges, their eyes closed against punishing winds. Purple lightning flashes periodically, followed by distant thunder claps. Billowing clouds surround and speed by the cliff, close e...
	Deus Ex: Invisible War review (XBX) Reviewed on April 28, 2007 Deus Ex: Invisible War is made by Ion Storm and published by Eidos. It's the sequel to the critically acclaimed Deus Ex: The Conspiracy. Invisible War, like the original game, is a first-person RPG/FPS.
	Flashback: The Quest For Identity review (GEN) Reviewed on April 27, 2007 Conrad Hart?
	WarioWare: Smooth Moves review (WII) Reviewed on April 27, 2007 Videogames, when you get right down to it, are all essentially the same. There is movement, and conflict, towards an end. The methods of movement may alter, the conflicts may be disguised, and the ends are many and varied. However, even with all these variables, there is ultimately little difference between Pong and World of Warcraft. The two games are merely at opposite ends of the same definition.
	Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All review (DS) Reviewed on April 24, 2007 The 2005 release of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney captured hearts with sensational mysteries, humorous characters, and witty dialogue. In this second installment of the graphic adventure, subtitled Justice for All, Capcom’s most famous lawyer returns for more of the same. The sequel presents a quartet of tragic cases that will put your analytical ability to a moderate test. More important, it continues to expand on the characters so carefully developed in the first game. The fam...
	The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past review (SNES) Reviewed on April 24, 2007 The Legend of Zelda series has always been a staple among the gaming community and is an essential franchise of Nintendo. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past has achieved a particularly vast fan following of the series on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It has been raised from mere 16-bit adventure to near cult status. The success and endearment of A Link to the Past is perhaps due to the superior logistics of the Super NES when compared to the original NES. The graphical aspec...
	Super Princess Peach review (DS) Reviewed on April 22, 2007 Now that I've finally gotten along to getting a DS, I got this game because it looked promising in the previews. I wasn't let down, but it felt a bit easy for a Mario game.
	Virtua Tennis 3 review (X360) Reviewed on April 22, 2007 The first time I played Virtua Tennis 3, I wasn't that thrilled with it. I avoided the World Tour mode and went straight to an exhibition match to get a good feel of the gameplay. Well, after about three or four matches... I was bored, and I was just about to give up on the game at that point. And it's not due to it being a tennis game, where you basically hit a ball back and forth, because I enjoyed Table Tennis. It's just... you can pretty much figure out how most of your opponents play...
	Final Fantasy X review (PS2) Reviewed on April 20, 2007 Being even eight years old, you have to have seen these sort of guises in one type of media or another:
	Super Paper Mario review (WII) Reviewed on April 17, 2007 The end of the world is nigh. Nations are rising against each other. Calamities are ravaging countless innocents around the planet. And in the Mushroom Kingdom, Princess Peach and Bowser are getting married. That’s right. The classic damsel in distress and ineffectual villain are going to tie the knot and live happily (well, probably just one of them) ever after. Don’t take this as one of Bowser’s half-baked schemes; a more dangerous foe named Count Bleck is pulling the strings behind the scenes...
	Need for Speed: Most Wanted review (X360) Reviewed on April 17, 2007 Most Wanted has a lot going for it when you play it for the first time. Of course, you'll be doing a lot of street racing in this game, but the developers actually tried interesting ways to spice them up. In the Speed Trap races, making it to the finish first ain't gonna cut it. With speed traps scattered throughout these courses, you have to build up as much speed as possible as you go through them, because when you make it to the end, they'll all be tallied up and compared to your oppon...
	Battalion Wars review (GCN) Reviewed on April 17, 2007 Late in the GameCube's life, Nintendo started funding all sorts of different types of games from random companies. Some turned out pretty good, some were terrible. Predictably however, they all bombed sales-wise. The good news though is that means they became dirt cheap real quick, and thus allowing those of us who are fairly cautious about these sorts of things a chance to try them out with minimal risk. Battalion Wars, needless to say, is one such game. And though it shows plenty of the r...
	Metal Slug 6 review (ARC) Reviewed on April 16, 2007 As the wind rolls across the plains, the Peregrine Falcons Special Forces Unit ventures forth into yet another battleground. Somewhere out there in that flowing tall grass, a bunch of General Morden’s Rebel goons have set up camp. It’s not like they were careful about hiding their whereabouts; there are shell casings littering the dirt and supplies strewn about. Even the soldiers’ voices can be heard on the breeze. You’d think that getting their asses kicked so many times in the past, the Rebels...
	Sonic and the Secret Rings review (WII) Reviewed on April 14, 2007 Once upon a time, King Shahryar discovered that his wife was cheating on him. Though he had the queen and her lover executed, the king was traumatized; he believed that infidelity was a characteristic that all women shared. But since he couldn’t go for long without acting out his lusty urges, Shahryar remarried and took steps to ensure that no woman would betray him again. Since prenuptial agreements didn’t exist back then, the king took a more direct approach: wedding and bedding a new bride, t...
	Ridge Racer review (PSP) Reviewed on April 14, 2007 The first thing that pops up when you switch the game on is a retro arcade game from Namco's archives. Ridge Racer, it's "New" Rally-X, a top-down 2D 8-bit wonder from 1981 which involves you steering a little blue go-kart around to collect all the flags on a map and trying to avoid little red go-karts that want to crash you.
	Animal Crossing review (GCN) Reviewed on April 12, 2007 I don’t hate Animal Crossing for its N64 quality graphics, terrible music, childlike nature, or terrible attempts at comedy. I dislike it simply because it just isn’t fun. What was supposed to be an interesting and innovative life simulator turned out to be a completely monotonous experience.
	Kororinpa: Marble Mania review (WII) Reviewed on April 11, 2007 It’s quiet inside the room. Or at least, you think it is. There’s an upbeat tune coming out of the screen in front of you, and your breath is coming out in soft sighs. You’ve blocked the noise out, though; you’re too distracted to notice your surroundings. Your hand is trembling as you rotate it ever so slightly, turning the object with your fingers with the delicacy of a brain surgeon. Failure is not an option here; one slight miscalculated movement could spell utter disaster for your efforts. ...
	Rogue Galaxy review (PS2) Reviewed on April 09, 2007 Imagine, if you will, the following scenario: A young blond orphan living on a desert planet ruled by galactic war suddenly finds himself confused for an infamous hunter and whisked away on glorious adventures. Now, but for a few key points, many gaming fans find this core idea so irritatingly familiar it near instantly drives them away from this game.
	Bullet Witch review (X360) Reviewed on April 09, 2007 NES classic, Contra. You ran from left to right, as either Blue Man or Red Man, dependant on whether you played with a friend or played with yourself, and shot guys who ran towards you.
	Sengoku 2 review (NEO) Reviewed on April 08, 2007 By the leather of my bootstraps, they've gone out and done it. SNK has made the first game totally according to surrealist principles, and if it were done today, John Romero would more or less be involved. It's never too late to drop the old dependable Daikatana joke, I say. Now, I'm not totally against throwing together a bunch of set-pieces and not even bothering to link them with a storyline. Today's subject, the conglomeration of virtual ejacu-late known as Sengoku 2 (which tr...
