	Cannon Spike review (DC) Reviewed by pestes on Date Unknown - # Flashy and fun, Cannon Spike from Capcom is hardcore 16-bit action down to the bone. The wild game mocks other games and features other Capcom stars like Cammy Lee, Charlie, Arthur, Simone (I don't know where she's from), the disturbing little girl from DarkStalkers B.B. Hood, Shiba, and the legendary Mega Man. Its a relatively cheap ($30) follow-up to more cerebral DC efforts like Shenmue and Skies of Arcadia.
	EGG: Elemental Gimmick Gear review (DC) Reviewed by pestes on Date Unknown - # No game in the history of gaming (except perhaps E.T. for the 2600), has made me want to put a hammer to one of my systems more than EGG: Elemental Gimmick Gear, a horrible action-RPG for the Dreamcast from the usually reliable Hudson Soft.
	Evolution 2: Far Off Promise review (DC) Reviewed by pestes on Date Unknown - # Wow. A mere 6 months after we get the first RPG for Dreamcast, we get a sequel. Actually, Evolution 2: A Far Off Promise is more of a remix than a full-blooded sequel, in my opinion.
	Castlevania: Symphony of the Night review (PSX) Reviewed by seif on Date Unknown - # One of the greatest games ever to grace the PSX has been seen increasingly in electronics stores everywhere, despite the fact that it's quite a few years old. The game that I'm referring to involves a great storyline, memorable characters, enough items to choke on, the undead, and, of course, the immortal Count Dracula.
	Rez review (PS2) Reviewed by cheekylee on Date Unknown - # While her husband was away, she had the opportunity to entertain herself. She reached into the wardrobe, pulled out the shoebox, and took it to the bed. There she opened it, and pulled out the monster. Trembling with anticiapation, she started .... hold on. This is a video game review. Sorry!
	Silent Hill 2 review (PS2) Reviewed by kid_karny on Date Unknown - # Silent Hill released by Konami years back that put fear into the player with it's rich and immersive atmosphere, creepy sounds, gory monsters and buckets of blood. Then along came the sequel, with it came the hype. The original was loved by many and was quoted as being the scariest game of all time. This sets lofty expectations for the sequel. Will it live up to it's prequal?
	Bloody Roar 3 review (PS2) Reviewed by vince on Date Unknown - # However, this game is the next Killer Instinct, one that will keep you shouting obsenities at your friend when he tears you apart with Alice the Rabbit. But if you're one of those gamers that spontainiously combusts when exposed to direct sunlight, thus lacking many friends, this is not the game for you.
	Bust A Groove review (PSX) Reviewed by vince on Date Unknown - # This game is good for alot of things, a fresh new look on gaming, fun for parties, or showing to your girlfriend when she says you can't dance. I'd say rent this game first no matter how much I love it, because theres always games I love that other people despise, Pokemon for example.
	Shenmue review (DC) Reviewed by metaliknight on Date Unknown - # In the vast universe of gaming, there are some titles that are about as shallow as a children's swimming pool at a YMCA. And on the other hand, there are titles that are so vast that the Pacific Ocean wouldn't even match in comparison. Shenmue for the Sega Dreamcast is just that deep.
	Crazy Taxi review (DC) Reviewed by stealthsniper on Date Unknown - # The Sega developer formally known as AM2 makes some of the greatest games, as well as the most original. Now they have released the arcade racer Crazy Taxi--a fun and stylish arcade game--and it's one of the must-play games for the Dreamcast. It is not, however, a must-buy.
	Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram review (DC) Reviewed by stealthsniper on Date Unknown - # Never having played the first Virtual On, I can't compare it with the Dreamcast Virutal On. This can be good or bad for a number of reasons. But this review will be from a gamer that's basically new to the mech fighting genre (Armored Core wasn't for me). Virtual On is a game about robots fighting. Yes, it's shallow, and I have to be blunt. There is no story, just several robots kicking the crap out of each other. Yet strategy is involved, so this game is deep. Very deep. The casual gamer may be...
	Rune: Viking Warlord review (PS2) Reviewed by kahr on Date Unknown - # RUNE: Viking Warlord is a neat game. In a way the game is similar to TombRaider, only in this game one takes on the role of Ragnar, a Viking, and you are seeking vengeance for your fathers death. The story is mildly developed, but that’s all right. Adventure games generally don’t have very in-depth stories anyway. At the very beginning of the game, the opening sequence gives a brief story, explaining a bit about the world you are about to enter. It also tells you about Ragnarok, but if you aren’...
	Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 review (PS2) Reviewed by kahr on Date Unknown - # In case you aren’t familiar with the series, let me tell you a bit about it. The Tony Hawk Pro Skater series is arguably the best skateboarding game to date. While slightly unrealistic because you can bang yourself up really bad and walk—skate away like nothing happened. But honestly, the game would be far too hard if you could injure yourself realistically. You can choose to skate as a number of different pro skateboarders, like Tony Hawk, Elissa Streamer, Bucky Lasek, Kareem Cambell, and so on...
	Final Fantasy X review (PS2) Reviewed by kahr on Date Unknown - # The latest instalment of the Final Fantasy series, FFX, is truly a work of art. The graphics are great; characters are spectacular, and the story as in-depth as ever. The game introduces many new things into the series. Square kept the limit break or power break idea, only this time it is called overdrive. Perhaps one of the more noticeable additions is voice acting. There are also many apparent changes with the battle, ability, and equipment systems. I will address them individually:
	Pikmin review (GCN) Reviewed by johnnythm on Date Unknown - # Kinda like a cross between a Real-time strategy and a puzzle game Pikmin is a game where you play as a spaceman who has crashed his ship on a strage planet, and the only way to fix it and get home to to enlist the aid of the freaky little critters called Pikmin. Appearently the Creator, genius Shingeru Miyamoto, got the idea for this game while tending his garden at home. oddly enough, the way to win this game is to collect your small gang of ragtag pikmin and gather food tablets for them, placi...
	TimeSplitters review (PS2) Reviewed by johnnythm on Date Unknown - # After you grab the item in the level you need to go back to the beginning where the exit is, but there is a twist: now you must fight the timesplitters. These nasty little buggers can kill you outright in 2 or 3 hits!
	Oni review (PS2) Reviewed by johnnythm on Date Unknown - # In fact, this was the first game where I've actually had to use the R3 and L3 buttons. Running and jumping is easy enough, but when it comes to maneuvering, you're screwed. The camera doesn't help this either, as it always seems to be in the wrong place.
	Star Wars: Starfighter review (PS2) Reviewed by johnnythm on Date Unknown - # This feature allows you to zoom in on the enemy for some precision shots. After the first mission you should be able to pick up all the controls and become a legit Starfighter pilot. Thank you Lucas Arts for making this a simple game to pick up and play.
	NFL 2K2 review (PS2) Reviewed by jfrink26 on Date Unknown - # For many years, there has really only been one name in console football simulations; that of John Madden and his excellent Electronic Arts’ title. Sure, there are other titles to choose from but Madden has always been so good, gamers instinctively stick to this series. But with the end of the Dreamcast, Sega Sports has decided to import it’s own football title to other systems. NFL2K2 might be the closest rival Madden has in the console world.
	Grand Theft Auto III review (PS2) Reviewed by jfrink26 on Date Unknown - # Playstation 2 owners certainly have a lot of reasons to be happy this past year. 2001 saw the release of several great titles like Final Fantasy X, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 and Metal Gear Solid 2. While these are great games, there is one title in particular that I believe is Game of the Year: Grand Theft Auto 3.
