	Bionic Commando Rearmed review (PS3) Reviewed on October 10, 2008 Ah the good old days of gaming, when things were simpler and games didn't last as long. Of course, this was probably because you lost all three lives within ten minutes of game play and then went to do something else, like play soccer or have a tea party with your sister.
	Time Hollow review (DS) Reviewed on October 10, 2008 On the night preceding his seventeenth birthday, Ethan Kairos' peaceful slumber is interrupted by a fiery nightmare. He sees his father and mother struggling to escape a raging inferno. The next morning, he bolts awake into a reality where that dream appears to be truth. Now, he possesses foreign memories of his parents disappearing twelve years ago, along with ones of growing up in the care of his secretive, hotheaded uncle. Yet, the remnants of his original life clearly remain in his consc...
	Resident Evil: Outbreak File #2 review (PS2) Reviewed on October 08, 2008 The Resident Evil series' supposedly exclusive move from the Playstation to the GameCube kicked off in 2002 with the arrival of the cripplingly good Resident Evil Remake and Resident Evil Zero. Resident Evil 4 was still three years away, but in a 'so much for that Nintendo exclusivity clause' series of events, the gap was filled by the appearance of the two Resident Evil Outbreak games back on the PS2. By way of explanation, Capcom muttered something about the Outbreaks not ...
	Mega Man review (NES) Reviewed on October 07, 2008 Despite the popular notion that the Mega Man series never evolved (or became more “intelligently designed”) as it progressed, the series actually underwent many fundamental changes in its early NES installments. While the differences between the first Mega Man and Mega Man 6 are pretty blatant, even the refinement that took place between MM1 and MM2 or MM3 and MM4 cannot be overstated. Anyone that has played these games over and over (and over)...
	Koudelka review (PSX) Reviewed on October 07, 2008 The great thing about Koudelka is the atmosphere and storyline. This is not your typical Japanese RPG with cheery graphics and a cutesy storyline with a bunch of children. This game takes place in a haunted castle in 1898, and you control three characters who not only are adults, but also very mature. It's nice to see that in a RPG for a change. There's also a bunch of great scenes as you really get to see the characters develop, and the main villain is up there with Eve from the Parasite Eve ga...
	Mega Man 9 review (X360) Reviewed on October 04, 2008 "Be careful out there! You haven't done this in awhile!"
	Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner review (PS2) Reviewed on October 04, 2008 Giant robot games bore me. While a handful are good, especially the tough-as-nails sidescroller Assault Suit Leynos 2 and the well streamlined MechAssault, the vast majority of them bog themselves down in too many mechanics to be of any amusement. The Armored Core series, for instance, allows you to customize everything from your mech's engine style to the color of its vomit, but the feature goes to waste in light of the titles' lumbering, prosaic combat. Most of these...
	Virtua Fighter CG Portrait Series Vol. 9: Kage Maru review (SAT) Reviewed on October 03, 2008 Dear friends, I am about to admit something that I’m sure no one will forgive me for. It’s something I should have known about for ages, but sadly, I did not, thanks to my restricted knowledge of video games a child.
	Operation: Vietnam review (DS) Reviewed on October 03, 2008 Attention, Soldier!
	Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura review (PC) Reviewed on October 01, 2008 Imagination is a very powerful tool we often take for granted. For instance, can you imagine yourself something of a hero in a world where technology and magic mix? Can you picture yourself being the one who decides the fate of the world with every single action you take, be it for evil or for good? Do you ever show interest in discovering a conspiracy involving high ranking politicians running a rape-farm that breeds ogre slaves? If the answer to any of these questions is affirmative, then let ...
	Bubble Bobble review (NES) Reviewed on September 30, 2008 "Now it is the beginning of a fantastic story! Let us make a journey to the cave of monsters!
	Final Fight review (ARC) Reviewed on September 27, 2008 I don't spend nearly enough time with beat-em-ups and I'm probably a worse person for it, but even I love Final Fight. Then again, everybody loves Final Fight. It's just one of those ideas that's perfect, even on paper. You and a friend choose ripped city mayor Haggar, ninja Guy, or generic white dude Cody and take to the streets, smashing your way through the population of a small nation. What's not to love? What more could you need?
	Castle Crashers review (X360) Reviewed on September 27, 2008 Castle Crashers begins with your knight of choice doing what knights do best: rocking out. Of course, not all goes to plan when a nerfarious wizard busts on the scene, stealing the castle's magical crystal and running off with the hot maidens. And so it's up to you, as one of 4 colourful knights to set out on a quest to get them back and kick some evil wizard ass.
	Disgaea DS review (DS) Reviewed on September 27, 2008 When I heard that Atlus/Nippon Ichi had decided to port the first Disgaea to the DS, I was shocked. For one thing, they’d already ported it to the PSP and had hinted at the port being a PSP exclusive. For a second, there was no way the DS’s extremely limited hardware could ever hope to run a game that was originally for the PS2, even if it came nowhere close to stretching the PS2’s hardware limits. What Atlus delivered was a bad port of a good game.
	Bad Dudes review (NES) Reviewed on September 27, 2008 Bosses are tough and require great timing and patience to defeat. Having a weapon only increases the likelihood of survival, since it has a superior reach and deals significantly more damage than most of your traditional unarmed combinations. Some bosses are literally impossible to kill without one.
	Alone in the Dark review (X360) Reviewed on September 27, 2008 Alone in the Dark is considered to be one of the pioneers of the survival horror games by fans of the genre. With the first game, and namesake of the series being released in 1992, Alone in the Dark set the standards for future horror survival games such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill. Although many feel that Alone in the Dark has since become overshadowed by the aforementioned titles, it is worth noting the series still continues to exist to this day, with the current Alone in the Dark game b...
	Red Bull BC One review (DS) Reviewed on September 27, 2008 A sad, startling revelation came to me the other day. I’ve become that guy. You know, the fellow who’s still trying to be hip but has absolutely no clue about the current pop culture? The kind of person that spouts off outdated slang to his younger friends and ends up coming off like an idiot? Yeah, that guy. This stunning bout of self-awareness was caused by one thing: Red Bull BC One. What kind of name is that for a game? The back of the box gives only a few clues; it stat...
	N+ review (DS) Reviewed on September 27, 2008 They make it look so easy. The ninjas, I mean. They’re so awesome at what they do. Leaping around rooftops is like playing hopscotch to them. They can make themselves virtually invisible, lurking within the shadows for that single, perfect time to strike. A quick flick of the wrist can leave dozens of bloody, shuriken-ridden corpses littering the scene. But it’s not like ninjas have always been like that; once upon a time, your favorite veiled assassin was just some inept little rookie with drea...
	Robo Army review (ARC) Reviewed on September 26, 2008 In Robo Army's quest to add some variety to the robots you'll be beating up, it ends up creating pretty funny designs. As you guide your half man, half machine avatar (or all machine, if you're the second player) through a crippling city, you'll be cutting mechanical soldiers in half with one fist and avoiding land mines littered all over the streets. Eventually, you'll reach the end of the stage, where you'll go up against the boss, who takes the form of a walking, green car. Stay...
	Time Hollow review (DS) Reviewed on September 26, 2008 There’s been a rash of new DS titles recently – Kirby Super Star Ultra, the remake of Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, and the craptacular Sonic Chronicles. Yet, out of all the releases this week, most people have forgotten about one that would be the best had Nintendo not decided to release Kirby this week. That game is Time Hollow.
