	Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec review (PS2) Reviewed by James Gordon on Date Unknown - # 80 events. Sound like a big number? It is. While the first GT featured a healthy number of events, and GT2 featured more than double as many events as the first, GT3 more than triples the number of GT2's events. There is also a lot more variety in the races here.
	Pac-Man World 2 review (GCN) Reviewed by Jason Venter on Date Unknown - # The variety from level to level isn't so huge, but there are 6 different worlds, each of which is quite distinct. You have your usual intro levels, the forest world, the ice world, the fire world, the water world, and the boss world. Each world has 3 or 4 stages and a boss encounter.
	Smashing Drive review (GCN) Reviewed by Jason Venter on Date Unknown - # The minute you have control of your cab, things start happening. Cars are speeding toward you, jets are landing and taking off, ferries are moving across the water, a giant gorilla is scaling a skyscraper, and so forth. The environments always sport a good level of activity.
	Alice review (PC) Reviewed by James Gordon on Date Unknown - # After finding your first weapon (the Vorpal Blade), it will become quite clear that you're not just in Wonderland for sightseeing. This becomes even more clear when you are attacked by one of the Heart Queen's guards.
	Zone of the Enders review (PS2) Reviewed by James Gordon on Date Unknown - # There are a lot of very well-done features in this game, which should not be overlooked, but also enough cons to lessen the pack of it's punch a great deal.
	NHL 2001 review (PC) Reviewed by Zack M on Date Unknown - # Season, of course, is where the meat of the game lies. Pick your team (including the Minnesota Wild and Columbus Blue Jackets expansion teams) and play through their 2000-2001 schedule, attempting to grab the elusive Stanley Cup.
	Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy review (PS2) Reviewed by James Gordon on Date Unknown - # Think Banjo-Kazooie come Mario and Crash Bandicoot, with superior level-design, graphics and control.
	Frequency review (PS2) Reviewed by Jason Venter on Date Unknown - # Bearing a surprising number of similarities to Parappa the Rapper yet supporting style and substance all its own, Frequency manages to be a breath of fresh air the belongs on your shelf if you're a fan of the narrow genre in which it falls.
	Who Wants to Be a Millionaire review (PC) Reviewed by Zack M on Date Unknown - # The earlier questions are easy enough, but once you get up to the higher ones things start getting tricky. That is, of course, in your first 15 or so times playing.
	Sonic Advance review (GBA) Reviewed by Zack M on Date Unknown - # What no one would have believed 5 years ago, however, is that Sonic's triumphant return to his 2D roots would come on a Nintendo system, and that's just what's happened to the first Sonic game ever on a Nintendo-made system, Sonic Advance.
	Bible Adventures review (NES) Reviewed by Jason Venter on Date Unknown - # This is especially true of Noah. He can lift pigs, snakes, turtles, horses, and even cows (see, you thought I forgot my promise to get back to that). Amusingly, he can even rotate the order of animals in the stack, for when he needs to discard an unwanted one. This sometimes leads to Noah running toward the ark while a horse, cow, and pig are balanced atop a single acorn.
	The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time review (N64) Reviewed by Zack M on Date Unknown - # If you play your cards right, don't abandon the classic formulas, and continue to innovate, anything is possible, as shown in this, one of the best games ever created - on any system - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
	The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask review (N64) Reviewed by Zack M on Date Unknown - # Overall, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is an improvement of its predecessor. However, it doesn't seem to capture the same epic feel as The Ocarina of Time, and, in the end, the first Nintendo 64 Zelda game will be the one you'll always remember.
	Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 review (GCN) Reviewed by Zack M on Date Unknown - # The R button, also, does the new Revert move, which, when you're coming off of a lip trick on a ramp, lets you maintain a combo by allowing you to string in a manual...
	Felix the Cat review (NES) Reviewed by Jason Venter on Date Unknown - # Not every stage is restricted to platform hopping. In one, for example, you fly over a desert in a hot air balloon, tossing frisbees at grounded foes. There are also places where you swim, or where you skim along the surface of the water on a dolphin's back. No one type of level is really overdone, so there's a good sense of variety.
	Little Nemo: The Dream Master review (NES) Reviewed by Jason Venter on Date Unknown - # See, Nemo carries with him an apparently endless supply of bubblegum. Naturally, any good beast appreciates something on which to chew, so you can chuck some of it at a creature, watch for it to start blowing bubbles, then ride it. The creatures that most instantly come to mind are a mole/badger sort of thing, a bumblebee, a crab, and an ape.
	X-Men review (NES) Reviewed by Jason Venter on Date Unknown - # Then there are the enemy formations, always designed so that you're cornered and bounced around from foe to foe, or into the lethal toilets or lava pits. And sometimes, when all you need is an invulnerability icon to proceed, the game will give you nothing for minutes at a time. Then it will shower you with them once you die and resume your mission as a new mutant. I can almost hear the bitter developers laughing at me from beyond the television screen whenever I play this game.
	Super Mario Bros. 3 review (NES) Reviewed by Jason Venter on Date Unknown - # As you play through this title, you're likely to pause at least once and wonder why games aren't this good anymore. The level design is bliss, the graphics beyond good and appropriate, the music engaging, the challenge level perfect.
	The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants review (NES) Reviewed by Jason Venter on Date Unknown - # When the flash is gone, you’re left with a rather hollow husk that’s satisfying only because the game keeps kicking your butt. Some of you freaks enjoy that, I know. You’ll revel in the amount of effort you must exert just to beat the first level, grin as wide leaps over bottomless pits in the museum send you to your death and back to the game’s beginning. For the rest of us, though, something is slightly off-center.
	Chip 'N Dale: Rescue Rangers review (NES) Reviewed by Jason Venter on Date Unknown - # Ahead, a kettle lies over a burner, boiling a sludgy mixture while killer bees bomb at you kamikaze-style from the right. You know that a single misstep will turn you into an appetizer, so you watch a bee and then plot your jump as the space is clear. Suddenly, your bushy charge is plummeting into the soup and instant death, the victim of a crate to the head. It appears your devious cohort was waiting for you to let down your guard.
