	Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout review (NES) Reviewed by psychopenguin on March 07, 2005 - 0 Comments People have seem to developed some sort of hatred for an old NES game called Bugs Bunny Birthay Blowout. Unaware to the reasons why, I decided recently to pull out a copy of the game to see if it was really that horrible. After all, I distinctly remember enjoying the game a lot as a child. It certainly was never one of my favorites, but it made for some decent fun, especially when I was bored out of my mind.
	Bubble Bobble review (NES) Reviewed by psychopenguin on March 07, 2005 - 0 Comments Bubble Bobble is a very fun and entertaining game released by Taito way back in 1989. It spawned several sequels, including Rainbow Islands. This was one of those games (along with TMNT 2 and Adventure Island) that took up most of my spare time back in the early 90's. Back then, I loved this game, and even thought the game has lost some of its appeal, I still find it enjoyable and play it every once in a while.
	Bionic Commando review (NES) Reviewed by psychopenguin on March 07, 2005 - 0 Comments Wow, what an innovative game. Bionic Commando, released as a sequel to Commando way back in the early '90's, is a lot different, and a lot better than its predeccesor. Commando was basically a vertically scrolling shooter like Ikari Warriors. Bionic Commando is a horizontally scrolling action/adventure game where non-linear game play reigns. And even the game play is a lot different, because Bionic Commando may be the only game in the genre for NES where you are unable to jump!! Heck, it may be ...
	Baseball Stars II: Be A Champ! review (NES) Reviewed by psychopenguin on March 07, 2005 - 0 Comments have never understood the relative dislike of the sequel to the awesome Baseball Stars. Even EGM got in on the action, calling Baseball Stars one of the best 100 games of all time, then dissing on the sequel a little. I loved the original Baseball Stars, but this game is simply just as good. The only complaint I really have is that it's not too much different than the original. The integral gameplay has stayed the same, as the game basically looks the same. The game got some statistical and oth...
	Baseball review (NES) Reviewed by psychopenguin on March 07, 2005 - 0 Comments When Nintendo first released the NES (the single most important event in the history of the universe), they decided to produce a bunch of sports games, with a quality that has never been seen before. If you're talking low quality, that is. While Soccer and Tennis were surprisingly good games, games like Golf and 10 Yard Fight represented the complete opposite end of the spectrum. But one game took the cake as being perhaps the worst sports game released on NES. Yes, it may just be worse than Maj...
	Let's Meow Meow! review (PC) Reviewed by woodhouse on March 06, 2005 - 0 Comments Obsession is a blinding force. Ibuki Takao’s infatuation is particularly consuming, given that it’s one of a sexual nature. He simply cannot resist a catgirl. The fixation even manifests itself in his everyday behavior; he projects his love of these fictional creatures onto their existing counterparts by feeding strays at the park. Little did he know how these efforts would be rewarded. In a dreamy haze, the Cat God appears and grants Ibuki a single wish. Without hesitation, he screams his ...
	Seiken Densetsu 3 review (SNES) Reviewed by yamishuryou on March 05, 2005 - 0 Comments Late 1994 to early 1996 was a landmark of excellence in SNES RPGs, as many titles of prime quality were released, including Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy III/VI, and Super Mario RPG. Had a truly remarkable RPG seen an overshores release, it would have been hailed as a timeless classic.
	Star Force review (NES) Reviewed by Halon on March 04, 2005 - 0 Comments The following are the first three adjectives that come to my mind when I think of Star Force -- Primitive, Repetitive, Tedious.
	Rocky Rodent review (SNES) Reviewed by overdrive on March 04, 2005 - 0 Comments In a couple of ways, Rocky Rodent isn’t that bad of a game. Your heroic vermin has some innovative methods of attack and many levels are loaded with obstacles that will at least take some skill to overcome.

	Eye of the Beholder II: The Legend of Darkmoon review (PC) Reviewed by guts on March 01, 2005 - 0 Comments If you've ever been caught playing a D&D game by a friend or relative, you know the drill. "Nerd!" they'll yell, laughing at your back as you're hunched over your keyboard or controller, totally entranced. D&D has always been synonymous with everything nerdly and anti-social, which is why it's such a testament to the brand's awesomeness that normally non-nerdly people like myself are willing to brave the insults of their peers just to get some sweet armor for their level 8 human warrior. The ...
	Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee review (XBX) Reviewed by goldenvortex on February 28, 2005 - 0 Comments Munch’s Oddysee was one of the launch titles for the Xbox and was the third game in the Oddworld Quintology. Unlike the previous Oddworld antics, it was in a fully 3D environment and also allowed a tag feature between two characters. Although these features were added the qualities that made Abe’s Oddysee and Exoddus great were ground down to their basics. The stealth puzzles were rare and the Gamespeak was minimized from six characters to two. In their place were more action, explosions and ...
	Suikoden review (PSX) Reviewed by djskittles on February 28, 2005 - 0 Comments No, this game does not span multiple discs. No, the graphics aren’t 3-D. Ok, ok, the box art is horrible. And yes, I’m not exactly sure how to pronounce the name either. However, none of those things mean that Suikoden is a bad game. Suikoden is actually a delightful little gem that never exactly reached a wide audience. Hidden beneath the horrible box art and crude graphics is an admirable RPG with plenty of heart and emotion, not to mention enough characters to sink a battleship...
	The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Master Quest review (GCN) Reviewed by mrmiyamoto on February 28, 2005 - 0 Comments Every Zelda fan that preordered the Wind Walker was treated to a bonus disk that was sure to excite each and every one of them. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest is a rehash of the N64 classic that touched gamers everywhere. While this certainly is not a new game entirely, it does give some added incentive to relive the groundbreaking elements that shaped so many games today.
	Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter review (PS2) Reviewed by espiga on February 27, 2005 - 0 Comments In the days of old, nearly every game I played seemed to have a sort of magic to it. Developers poured their hearts and souls into their highly pixelated works with bad graphics in an attempt to bring greatness to a "nerdy" pastime.
	Space Harrier review (SMS) Reviewed by masterzero99 on February 27, 2005 - 0 Comments Being one of the first shooters released when game systems began to take over our lives, Space Harrier surely brings back the fond memories of those past evenings as a little kid sitting around our Nintendos and Sega Master Systems. Space Harrier dominated with its fast-paced gameplay and astounding visuals. Today, even after touching down on a variety of systems and returning even on the PlayStation 2, Space Harrier's legacy lives on.
	Super Mario 64 DS review (DS) Reviewed by mrmiyamoto on February 26, 2005 - 0 Comments The idolization of Mario throughout history has opened many eyes to the world of gaming. Side scrolling platformers were what started it all, but an interesting side note will show you the wild success that Mario's first venture in the realm of 3-D brought. With a constant camera rolling around Mario, it brought forth new ways to flesh out the franchise that already had deep roots. Learning from their past mistakes, Nintendo launched their new handheld, the Nintendo Ds, with an expansion of one ...
	Brutal: Paws of Fury review (SCD) Reviewed by goldenvortex on February 26, 2005 - 0 Comments When a game is released on three different systems and you own all three systems it can be a small chore deciding what system to get which game on. With Brutal, a 2-D fighting game from the 16-bit days, I had a choice of three versions, the Genesis, the SNES and the Sega CD. If Brutal were a movie then the Sega CD would be the DVD version, the Genesis would be the cheap VHS version and the SNES would be the camcorder in the back seat of the cinema version. While the SNES reformed the game entire...
	Tottemo Pheromone review (PC) Reviewed by woodhouse on February 25, 2005 - 0 Comments In the past, companies that chose to localize bishoujo games have experienced tragically short lives. Not only does this result in times where fans must survive through periods with a paucity of new releases, it means that series of games frequently fall by the wayside, forever incomplete to the English speaking world. Sometimes, these series begin never to see their rightful end, but more often certain titles, still proudly displaying numerical signs of their heritage, must make a splash with...
