	Door Door review (NES) Reviewed by JoeTheDestroyer on July 28, 2011 - 0 Comments A game like this thrives on simple, addictive and fast-paced gameplay. It has simplicity down pat, but where it falters is speed.
	Antipole review (X360) Reviewed by JoeTheDestroyer on July 26, 2011 - 3 Comments Antipole is like a blast from the past, except it came out recently. It's loaded with simple 2D platforming and basic gunplay, but the game is far from easy. Your character's motions are fast and intense, poignantly loose to add challenge to the platforming aspect. Timing your jumps and maneuvering is the key, but it's not all that will save your red-coated butt.
	Samurai Warriors 3D review (3DS) Reviewed by disco on July 25, 2011 - 0 Comments There could have been so much more to Samurai Warriors Chronicles…but there isn’t.
	Gradius III & IV review (PS2) Reviewed by pickhut on July 24, 2011 - 2 Comments You poor bastards.
	Adventures of Lolo 2 review (NES) Reviewed by JoeTheDestroyer on July 23, 2011 - 2 Comments I would ordinarily slate a game for making almost no changes. However, there's something magical about Lolo that retains the freshness even after you've played the living crap out of the first one. It could be that there are so many stimuli to work with that the possibilities for new and more challenging levels are limitless. Instead of attaching new gameplay features, Hal focused on turning up the difficulty and giving you more of the same worries and problems, yet trickier puzzles.
	Tomena Sanner review (WII) Reviewed by JoeTheDestroyer on July 20, 2011 - 2 Comments Tomena Sanner is fun for a short while, but once the joke wears off it'll feel like a hollow waste of time. Plainly put: it's big on style, short on substance.
	Lair review (PS3) Reviewed by fleinn on July 19, 2011 - 0 Comments The game from this point on expertly goads you into taking on the role of the righteous Asylian dragon knight Rohn in his quest to stamp out the barbarian Mokai hordes. Even to the point where our hero proclaims fateful phrases such as “God was with us today!”, while making the skies “Rain with Mokai blood”. You burn them out of the sky, torch the screaming soldiers with dragon fire. (...)
	Dash Galaxy in the Alien Asylum review (NES) Reviewed by JoeTheDestroyer on July 18, 2011 - 2 Comments Who could forget the feeling that you had wasted all those weeks of allowance after purchasing Dash Galaxy? You felt like you worked your tush off for a meager prize and you refused to be disappointed by it. You wanted to finish it to get your money's worth, but you knew you would never succeed.
	Gradius Deluxe Pack review (SAT) Reviewed by pickhut on July 18, 2011 - 0 Comments If there's one thing I can take away from Gradius Deluxe Pack, it's that there's a right way and a wrong way to make a challenging game.
	Sex Games review (C64) Reviewed by JoeTheDestroyer on July 13, 2011 - 2 Comments I've said it before: if you're into porno games, that's your thing. It doesn't hide the fact that this game is a shallow title that features the barest minimum of interactivity and doesn't make even the least passable usage of its own title. Suggested renaming: Sex Game.
	Eternal Sonata review (PS3) Reviewed by threetimes on July 12, 2011 - 3 Comments The creative premise of this action RPG is that the composer Chopin is a playable character who inhabits a world that he thinks is a dream. Here, instead of playing the piano and composing music, he fights alongside a collection of teenage girls and boys, three 8 year olds, a prince and his consort, and some rebels as they struggle against a devious Count Waltz who is hell bent on turning the population into mindless soldiers. Musical terms and motifs dominate: names are musical terms, with the ...
	Everblue review (PS2) Reviewed by threetimes on July 12, 2011 - 2 Comments You start the game as Leo, a rookie diver on the Caribbean island of Daedalus with this mysterious death in the back of your mind, and a lot to learn about diving.
	The Magic Obelisk review (WII) Reviewed by JoeTheDestroyer on July 11, 2011 - 0 Comments Faulty cooperative AI is usually where I draw the line. If I can't work with a game without talking down to it, then it's just not worth my time. I learned that when I played Brute Force. Yet, I still wanted to give The Magic Obelisk the benefit of the doubt and try to make it all the way through.
	WWF No Mercy review (N64) Reviewed by Leroux on July 10, 2011 - 3 Comments It is a timeless wrestling game -- one with a still faithful following, one with a generation of devotees steadfast that it has not yet been eclipsed -- that reminds us how mortal we are.
	Wing Arms review (SAT) Reviewed by pickhut on July 10, 2011 - 0 Comments When I play an aerial combat game, I expect a whole lot of Pew! action. You know, here a Pew! There a Pew! Everywhere a Pew! Pew! We all do.
	Zapper review (GCN) Reviewed by JoeTheDestroyer on July 07, 2011 - 0 Comments Zapper seldom has any interesting or impressive scenes. You do much the same on every level, perform the same jumps, dodge the same traps, kill the same enemies, and even discover the same secret areas.
	Portal review (PC) Reviewed by bigcj34 on July 04, 2011 - 0 Comments Valve doesn’t just do original game-play. The game-play may make a game good, but the experience and overall package make it great. Valve have created a breath of fresh air using many ideas from Half-Life. The protagonist remains quiet and can only be seen through portals, and the ambience of a science facility draws many parallels to Black Mesa.
	Switchball review (PS3) Reviewed by JoeTheDestroyer on July 03, 2011 - 0 Comments With uninteresting puzzles and gameplay, Switchball becomes little more than a game of struggling against awkward controls and heavy eyelids. It's very relaxing, but that's the trouble. It's too relaxing.
	Red Faction: Armageddon review (PC) Reviewed by asherdeus on July 01, 2011 - 2 Comments Armageddon takes the core elements that attracted all of us to the series in the first place and combines them to create a solid game that series fans can't afford to miss.
	Fossil Fighters review (DS) Reviewed by wolfqueen001 on June 30, 2011 - 8 Comments The hammer chips and softens the tough outer layer of the fossil rock while the drill carefully cleans away the remaining sediment without obliterating the delicate skeleton underneath. Upgrades give you stronger versions of these tools, but because of their strength, your chances of breaking certain bones are much greater.
