	Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness review (PS2) Reviewed on July 21, 2003 If you're a fan of the Tomb Raider franchise at all, then I have no doubt you've at least heard of this title. As Lara Croft's first outing on the Playstation 2 console, you're probably expecting this game to make an impression.
	The Sims review (PC) Reviewed on June 24, 2003 Maxis has had a formula in place for developing video and computer games for the past decade. It has proven to be phenomenally successful. Their method is as follows: 1) Pick some aspect of life. 2) Craft a game around this aspect. 3) Slap the term “Sim” somewhere in the title. This formula has obviously worked, judging from all the Sim games on the market: SimCity, SimEarth, SimIsland, even SimFarm.
	Captain Tsubasa V: Hasha no Shougou Canpione review (SNES) Reviewed on June 24, 2003 Very few series can claim to be as successful as the Captain Tsubasa series. By ''Successful'', I am not referring to the sales of the game or how popular it was when it was released. I am referring to the essence of games, that thing that simply drags you in and makes you yearn for more. The video game industry abounds with series in every genre. As a matter of fact, one could even say it is plagued with such series, with titles that fail to appeal, but that continue to be release...
	Captain Tsubasa II: Super Striker review (NES) Reviewed on June 23, 2003 -----------------------------
	Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis review (GBA) Reviewed on June 22, 2003 Ogre Battle has become a fairly popular series on American shores, and for a good reason. Tactics Ogre found its way through Atlus, and I looked forward to playing this game. I am sad to say, it was not near as good as I dreamed. The game became almost a chore to completely beat, and I would spend weeks on end not playing it, because I really did not have the ambition to go play it. There are some positive aspects to Tactics Ogre, but for every positive there is a negative.
	Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master review (GEN) Reviewed on June 18, 2003 Joe Musashi, renowned master of the Shinobi, may have peacefully gone on a well-earned vacation, but it seems that Neo Zeed apparently never learnt it was futile to argue against the world's greatest ninja. To reassert this fact, Neo Zeed even went as far as placing a bounty on the ninja's head upon its stylish return. As a self-respecting ninja, Joe nevertheless anticipated this move from the powerful organization; all the time that elapsed since his last 'mission' was spen...
	Superman: The New Superman Adventures review (N64) Reviewed on June 18, 2003 It is a recurring event to say gamers join in chats to talk about their passion and to exchange views, amidst profound remarks (sometimes) and insults (often). Ever since I gleefully joined all these legions of gamers, there is always one topic that is bound to pop up, whether intentionally or by accident (most likely, the result of another weary insult): ''what r t3h worsts game s EVAR?''
	Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time review (SNES) Reviewed on June 17, 2003 The cross between turtles and ninjas worked wonders, as kids marveled at the adventures of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. As the new generation of heroes battled against the almighty Shredder’s legions of foes, always ending with a confrontation with Shredder himself (where the latter would invariably lose and flee after claiming he would one day finally dispose of the turtles), kids eagerly awaited each episode and bought whatever product was spawned off the series. The Teenage Mutant Ninja ...
	Brain Lord review (SNES) Reviewed on June 17, 2003 There was a time when the vast majority of games released on the SNES consisted of action RPG's. Games like The Legend of Zelda had made such an impact that developers soon realized the genre was a favorite among gamers and this potential was savagely exploited with titles upon titles being released. Enix shined as one of those companies specializing in the genre with popular titles that such as Soul Blazer, which would later evolve into one of the most formidable series for the SN...
	Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance review (PS2) Reviewed on June 06, 2003 Mortal Kombat had, for the most part, faded away into the pits of gaming death, garnering
	Burnout 2: Point of Impact - Developer's Cut review (XBX) Reviewed on June 05, 2003 *Note : This review is for the Xbox version of the game, but you could also apply it to all other versions. Just take out the bit about Live! support. Oh, and for the PS2, you only get 15 Crash Junctions.*
	Super Metroid review (SNES) Reviewed on June 05, 2003 It is always amazing to me how incredibly popular the Metroid series has become. The original was a deep and expansive game, but it didn’t have the personality of Super Mario Brothers or the mega-hit stamp of other games. The first sequel was relegated to the Game Boy, land of puzzlers, yet became an action game that survived and thrived. Continual growth was a calling card for both: they lurked and lurked on the Nintendo Power charts for years after their original release. Whe...
	Altered Beast review (GEN) Reviewed on June 04, 2003 Timing is everything in the business of video games. A simple difference of a year can radically change everything. Just ask Sega; they’ve been on both ends of the stick with all of their system releases. The Genesis capitalized on a public that was fed up with constant delays to the Super Nintendo. However, the Saturn and Dreamcast both showed signs of being ill-conceived consoles that were not powerful enough to satisfy developers.
	Legend of Mana review (PSX) Reviewed on May 30, 2003 Non-linear gameplay is an odd subject. Games such as Final Fantasy X are routinely villainified for their adherence to linear gameplay. The masses shout, “Give us freedom!” Yet games which do feature non-linear gameplay do not sell as many copies, the genre of MMRPGs excluded.
	Chrono Cross review (PSX) Reviewed on May 29, 2003 A wise man once said, ''Thus you’re epic journey into the realms begin, tis a journey only the brave should take.. ''
	Brute Force review (XBX) Reviewed on May 29, 2003 Overview:
	Castlevania: Symphony of the Night review (PSX) Reviewed on May 21, 2003 Castlevania: Symphony of the Night in my mind was the highest plateau of the Castlevania series. Everything grand that was made throughout the series was packed into this one game, and it has become what some would call the greatest 2D adventure game of all time, rivaled only by the original Super Mario Brothers Games. Castlevania: SOTN is just that good. At first it may look complicated and bland, but the game picks up fast, and it never dies out. With classic bosses revised, and just an overal...
	Skies of Arcadia Legends review (GCN) Reviewed on May 18, 2003 I have been hearing about how Skies of Arcadia was this innovative RPG, one that is underated an unappreciated. Well, I have heard that about alot of game and most times it is unappreciated for reasons. I say most of those games, because Skies of Arcadia is definitely an exception to that. Well, back to my little story; so I heard about this Skies game, and I didn't believe it would be that great, but then my Playstation 2 broke. That left me with no RPG's around as I sent my PS2 to be fixed. So...
	Darkwing Duck review (GB) Reviewed on May 12, 2003 As all of you should know, Darkwing Duck was a duck who walked and talked like any human and wore a purple suit, and was supplied with various devices from his sidekick Launchpad McQuack and his neice Gosalyn. He had enemies galore, including the fearsome five, which spurred on this seven staged game in which seven of his greatest enemies lurked to stop Darkwing Duck himself. This was the premise for the creation of the NES game that was superb, so they ported it onto the gameboy, but to make it...
	Phantom Crash review (XBX) Reviewed on May 12, 2003 The XBOX is unofficially the console of choice for mecha games.
