Forest review (A2600)Reviewed on May 12, 2012This game is the definition of repetition. |

Brave Fencer Musashi review (PSX)Reviewed on May 09, 2012Most people anticipated games like Parasite Eve and Xenogears, but I showed zero interest in those, following instead a title called Brave Fencer Musashi. Touted as a 3D adventure similar in style to oldschool games like The Legend of Zelda, I was captivated by the colorful imagery and descriptions in magazines, about a blue-haired sword fighter summoned through time to a kingdom in distress. |

Dragonfire review (A2600)Reviewed on May 08, 2012What this game needed was some refinement. Certain areas should have been smoothed out for fairness, other areas more structured to cut the reliance on luck. It had a solid idea, it had a fast pace and it was simple. In some ways it was too fast-paced and too simple. |

Tax Avoiders review (A2600)Reviewed on May 07, 2012Dunhill did a great job of adapting a piece of every day life into an arcade game, but they left too much of the game to chance. If there were a way to know which investments were wiser at various points in time, include more brainpower to the equation than simple guess and pray, then this game would have been brilliant. All it took to harm the game's greatness was one small misstep. |

Awesomenauts review (X360)Reviewed on May 06, 2012Awesomenauts is easy to recommend simply because it’s so different from other experiences available on consoles. It brings in the competitive edge that makes online FPS games so popular but does something wholly different with it. |
||
Shark Attack review (A2600)Reviewed on May 03, 2012It was clear that [the developer] didn't put much time, attention or care into their product, especially when you consider the oversized scuba sprite. A move like that bespeaks lazy and cheap development. In the end, you're left with little reason to play Shark Attack over the piles of more effective Pac-Man clones. |
||
Street Fighter X Tekken review (PS3)Reviewed on May 02, 2012Problems begin to arise when players realize the clock is running out on them, and often. |
||
Wolf Fang: Kuhga 2001 SS review (SAT)Reviewed on May 01, 2012Vapor Trail has a sequel called Wolf Fang. Let's focus on the more pressing issue first: Vapor Trail managed a sequel. |

Metroid II: Return of Samus review (GB)Reviewed on April 30, 2012Samus may have returned, but as failure. |
||
ActRaiser review (SNES)Reviewed on April 30, 2012At a time when your simulation options were either Sim City or ActRaiser and games weren't exploring concepts such as existentialism and spirituality, the experience held up a lot better. In other words, ActRaiser's main selling point was how different it was at a time when gamers were eager to see something new. Had ActRaiser been just a great action game, it might not have stood out so much in 1990, but it would still be enjoyable now. |
||
Circus Caper review (NES)Reviewed on April 28, 2012I felt little guilt replaying through it with cheats on, and I recommend anyone who wants to check it out do the same...But fortunately the cheap deaths will fade away much sooner than the bears on unicycles and such instead. |
||
Pitfall II: Lost Caverns review (A2600)Reviewed on April 28, 2012Pitfall II isn't a great game. It's tedious at some points, overly frustrating at others. However, it isn't a terrible one either. It has the classic Atari charm and an adventurous atmosphere. |

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots review (PS3)Reviewed on April 25, 2012Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots can best be described as an average game that has been carried by the legacy of its predecessors. While it utilizes many of the old-school storytelling and gameplay elements that made other games in the series fun, it completely misses the mark in other areas. Does that mean Metal Gear Solid 4 is overrated? You bet. |
||
Journey review (PS3)Reviewed on April 25, 2012Perhaps games like these are starting to come off as obnoxious. |
||
F.3.A.R. review (X360)Reviewed on April 23, 2012When playing fear, you expect to be frightened by its concept and content, but the 3rd experience doesn’t contain many scares, which is baffling. I am not saying that the game is mundane and tarnished it has a profound storyline, and blood does spray like a hosepipe. By giving it a chance you are waking up the judgemental orb in your mind, you are the critic. |
||
Journey review (ARC)Reviewed on April 20, 2012Your idle band members mug and smile cluelessly even when your current guy gets hit. Then he falls and pouts and bangs his fists on the ground to the chorus of "Who's Crying Now." This is my favorite musical gaming pun by a long shot. |
||
Legend of Grimrock review (PC)Reviewed on April 19, 2012What Almost Human tried and succeeded to capture was the feeling of isolation. There are no other friendly faces around, and the only trace of former occupants to be found are hastily-scribbled letters that you can find from time to time. |
||
Alan Wake review (X360)Reviewed on April 18, 2012When playing through the enthralling epic called Alan Wake your gaming senses will be rubbed with a marinade of complete and utter astonishment. The game will take you on a journey, a dark, ghostly crusade, where light is your best friend. The darkness overthrows you; it enables haunting figures to follow your innocent, startled, frame. In this game, it not wrong to be afraid of the dark, its not childish, or uncharacteristic. Because the darkness can overwhelm you, it can control you, your mind... |

Moonsweeper review (A2600)Reviewed on April 18, 2012There was something addictive about Moonsweeper. A good portion of it was the same old story: command a spacecraft, gun down extraterrestrials, laugh at their burning pieces on the planet surface. But Imagic dressed it up in such a new and unique way that it felt fresh. You didn't just move back and forth at the bottom of the screen whilst shooting a horde of odd shapes, nor did you just zoom along and fire at the occasional threat a la Zaxxon. You actually did both! |

Green Day: Rock Band review (PS3)Reviewed on April 18, 2012As a music reviewer I am intrigued, and excited to review Green Day rock band. I have seen the band three times including the colossal Wembley Stadium gig in 2010. The virtual slice is compelling and deeply interactive. You can play as leading man Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt, and drummer Tre Cool. All you need is a guitar, some drums, and if you like to bellow, a microphone. The game is a lot of fun. |
