	Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee review (XBX) Reviewed on February 28, 2005 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 on February 28, 2005 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 on February 28, 2005 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 on February 28, 2005 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 on February 27, 2005 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 on February 27, 2005 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 on February 26, 2005 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 on February 26, 2005 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...
	Virgin Roster ~Shukketsubo~ review (PC) Reviewed on February 26, 2005 You’re a loathsome son of a bitch who violently rapes innocent schoolgirls and faculty to satiate your hideous urges.
	Inuyasha: A Feudal Tale review (PSX) Reviewed on February 26, 2005 If you have the urge for some casual demon fighting action, then look no further. This game offers plenty of demons, girls with sacred arrows, a lady with a giant boomerang, and a guy who sucks up things with his hand.
	El Viento review (GEN) Reviewed on February 24, 2005 It’s not like I was a complete stranger to El Viento. Even before I first played it, I felt like I knew just about everything about the game. A slew of vivid works describing wonderfully-drawn cinemas and creative levels chock full of innovative and bizarre monsters and obstacles are scattered over the net with one thing in common — they all rate this game a Bo Derek-like “10”.
	Resident Evil 4 review (GCN) Reviewed on February 23, 2005 Resident Evil 4
	Defenders of Oasis review (GG) Reviewed on February 23, 2005 The Gamegear was practically devoid of any RPG’s except for around 20 some, about a fifth of which came stateside. Defenders of Oasis was a RPG that happened to get lucky and find a publisher that brought it to the states. There are no idiosyncrasies that lift Defenders of Oasis above and beyond other turn based RPGS that were out at the time. It’s simply just a game that’s both brief and entertaining. Definitely worthy of your time.
	Dragon Quest VI: Maboroshi no Daichi review (SNES) Reviewed on February 23, 2005 A cool wind blows, ushering the scent of a nearby campfire into your nostrils, causing you to awaken.
	Hokuto no Ken 7: Seiken Retsuden - Denshousha heno Michi review (SNES) Reviewed on February 22, 2005 Toei didn't learn from their mistakes when they released HNK7, a gritty Fist of the North Star game on the SNES. The prequel was poor but had a few moments where you could sit down and play the thing for a little while and have a bit, and I stress, a bit of fun out of it. I was hoping that Toei would give the game a total overhaul and improve the gameplay a lot, maybe take out the annoying Aura power thing and also change the character roster. I was overjoyed when I first browsed through at what...
	Hokuto no Ken 6: Gekitou Denshouken - Haou heno Michi review (SNES) Reviewed on February 22, 2005 Hokuto no Ken 6 is a lousy fighting game on the SNES based on the popular Fist of the North Star series. The series was pretty popular in America and Japan a few years back but nowadays it seems that there is only a small cluster of fans of this hardcore anime left. I am proud to say that I am one of those fans and those who have not watched a Fist of the North Star episode or read any of the manga novels are seriously missing out. The series was based in a post-apocalyptic period where the worl...
	The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening review (GB) Reviewed on February 21, 2005 Once upon a time, there was a princess, noble and fair. Beloved by her subjects, this gentle maiden had but one real failing: every other week, she'd be kidnapped by some weird-looking villain, and an asexual midget in a green dress would have to rescue her. There'd be some kind of mystical triangle-power involved, as well as much questing. But, in the end, she would be rescued, and the evil would be forever sealed until the next time around.
	Guilty Gear X2 review (PS2) Reviewed on February 21, 2005 Heaven or Hell?
	Color a Dinosaur review (NES) Reviewed on February 21, 2005 Hi there, it's me, the grumpy old veteran gamer, using another medium to express my hatred towards the state of games post-1983. You know me, I'm the guy who goes to Goodwill when he wants a new game. I am wired on Vicodin during the day to treat my Carpal Tunnel-effected wrists. At night I can be found using my laptop, sprawled out on my bed because of a sudden urge to start a bidding war with some punk who will not lose the auction for a pristine Beta copy of Zork. Because it is an auth...
	Divine Sealing review (GEN) Reviewed on February 19, 2005 There’s nothing divine about Divine Sealing; it offers little more than a small hentai album wrapped in five brief levels of shallow, unfinished vertical shooter. At the very least, the quality of its artwork is respectable – but this is a clear testament to the fact that this game’s only intended allure was its animated nudity. Dorks who are actually into that stuff should simply stick to the Internet to satisfy their passions – even they don’t deserve to suffer Divine Sealing’s boring shooter ...
