	Ninja Gaiden review (NES) Reviewed by Chacranajxy on September 18, 2007 - # Ryu Hayabusa is a ninja with a dark past from which he can never escape. This has nothing to do with the storylines of the Ninja Gaiden series that Ryu stars in, though. Ryu's tragic history is, in fact, his first NES outing, known simply as Ninja Gaiden. While the modern Gaiden on the Xbox and Playstation 3 might be a masterpiece, Ninja Gaiden on the NES and Wii Virtual Console will leave you feeling cheated and morbidly depressed.
	King's Knight review (NES) Reviewed by Suskie on September 18, 2007 - # It’s called King’s Knight. It was made by Square. And it’s got all manner of wizards, warriors, monsters, and magical spells! Surely this is an epic RPG, rich with complex character development and deep old-school gameplay!
	Mega Man Legends review (PSX) Reviewed by Suskie on September 14, 2007 - # Contrary to popular opinion, first impressions aren’t everything.
	Spider-Man 3 review (X360) Reviewed by sayainprince on September 12, 2007 - # Let's face it: We can all remember a day when the Spider-Man games that were coming out were not so good (and ok, Spider-Man 2 for the DS wasn't either.) But starting out on the Playstation One, Spidey games began to show some true quality. They were fun! The newest incarnation, based rather loosely on the third movie in the blockbuster series is perhaps the best yet. Swinging through the air at 200 miles per hour in a to-scale New York City, 170 feet in the air, as you take on some of the most ...
	Mario Golf review (N64) Reviewed by drella on September 12, 2007 - # Seamlessly meshing the country club atmosphere, the intricacies of the classic sport and a cast of characters hailing from the Mushroom Kingdom we grew up dreaming of, Camelot's Mario Golf is devoid of the excessive gimmick and glitz we might expect from a title combining two very different themes. Unlike its inferior GameCube sequel Toadstool Tour, we won't find newly invented "fast greens" where the ball skirts off as if it were on ice and poorly designed courses over brewing lav...
	Major League Baseball Featuring Ken Griffey Jr. review (N64) Reviewed by drella on September 12, 2007 - # I tried.
	Pokemon Snap review (N64) Reviewed by drella on September 12, 2007 - # We -- yes, we! I need your help here -- have been given a task of dire importance by our scientific superior, one Professor Oak of Palette Town Laboratories. As he toils and sweats in his cramped research facility, poking at specimens and jotting observations in data tables, we’ve been asked to go out into the field and document the various species in their natural habitats, hopefully recording their unique behaviors on film and bringing them back for his approval. Initially equipped with just a...
	Home Run King review (GCN) Reviewed by drella on September 12, 2007 - # The situation is this: one out, in the bottom of the ninth, in the biggest game of your life. Your team trails by one. The most dominating post-season reliever of all time is on the mound.
	Mario Superstar Baseball review (GCN) Reviewed by drella on September 12, 2007 - # Forget pretentious, wannabe-spiritual flicks starring Kevin Costner; Mario Superstar Baseball contains the true fields of dreams.
	Mario Kart: Double Dash!! review (GCN) Reviewed by drella on September 12, 2007 - # It's not often that a game leaves me speechless, but Mario Kart: Double Dash!! does just that.
	The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind review (XBX) Reviewed by drella on September 12, 2007 - # A prisoner released from his shackles by order of the emperor, tossed beneath the decks of a rickety wooden vessel embarking towards the faraway outskirts of the dominion, the self-named, self-designed protagonist of Morrowind starts with little more than a clouded past and the clothes on his back. Noticeably absent however are the flashbacks of his foggy history and the destinies fatherly figures envision us fulfilling -- the trademarks countless adventures have conditioned us into expec...
	Super Metroid review (SNES) Reviewed by Chacranajxy on September 12, 2007 - # Metroid is one of those series that's infallible as far as Nintendo fans are concerned. They perceive a single negative utterance regarding the series as the most heinous crime imaginable. The reverence fans hold arguably has nothing to do with the first and second games in the Metroid series, though -- it's the third game that launched the series to the stratospheric level of quality that fans have come to expect. Originally released in 1994, Super Metroid represents the...
	Wii Sports review (WII) Reviewed by drella on September 12, 2007 - # Those expecting a return to the blockbuster-console combo releases synonymous with the Nintendo of yesteryear will be disappointed. Wii Sports is free, and though it is an impressive technical display of the abilities of Nintendo’s new system, it also demonstrates that the technology by itself is somewhat shallow and perfecting it may be a long and drawn out process. Those focusing on these fallbacks can at least take comfort in this though; Sports matches the depth of some recen...
	VietCong: Purple Haze review (XBX) Reviewed by drella on September 12, 2007 - # Vietcong: Purple Haze is yet another bleeding-heart chronicle of a faceless American soldier, yet another tale of a youth fraudulently lured from his beloved family and home by the empty promises of self-satisfaction purported by a finger-pointing Uncle Sam. Opening with actual black and white footage from the era, from scraggly hippies protesting the war on courthouse steps to Elvis feeding his new bride cake at their wedding (relevant footage was apparently hard to come by), this is a t...
	Mario Kart 64 review (N64) Reviewed by drella on September 12, 2007 - # Remember Rainbow Road?
	Jet Force Gemini review (N64) Reviewed by drella on September 12, 2007 - # Years ago, I forgave Jet Force Gemini.
	Forza Motorsport review (XBX) Reviewed by drella on September 12, 2007 - # Those that dismiss Forza Motorsport as just another racing game have entirely missed the point. Granted, the backbone of this title lies in its circuits, keeping your car on course and ahead of the pack around beautiful, picturesque venues in places like Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Tokyo, Japan. And yes, having the fastest, best-handling vehicle is the key to success in this title; you won’t advance very far without taking your fair share of checkered flags and victory laps. You’re still g...
	Excitebike 64 review (N64) Reviewed by drella on September 12, 2007 - # Imagine, motorheads, if you will, taking your prized Kawasaki out of the garage and overseas to an exotic locale in the midst of the Congo, ripping down a jungle path in the blazing heat, tearing up dust and dirt and leaving the rest of the pack in your tracks. Trees overhang this beautiful course, and you'll fly through their lush branches and vines as you get airborne after ascending steep slopes. The paths you'll rip up in this jungle are so unrefined a rushing stream slices the trails at two...
	BioShock review (X360) Reviewed by pickhut on September 12, 2007 - # You're just never safe in Rapture, an underwater city that was once a utopia, but now an anti-utopia. Forced to enter this unique world after surviving a plane crash, you'll have to roam through halls splattered with blood and flickering lights, not knowing what awaits you around each corner. You hear noises: footsteps in the distance, concrete pieces crackling under your shoes, and vending machines turning on at random, each putting you on edge.
	Destroy All Humans! review (XBX) Reviewed by drella on September 12, 2007 - # ”When do I get to blow things up!?”
