	XCOM: Enemy Unknown review (PC) Reviewed by Mike Suskie on April 30, 2013 - # Whoops! Did you forget to upgrade your interceptors? Because now there's a UFO over Russia that you're not equipped to take down, and transferring or manufacturing more jets will take more time than you have. Oh, and the craft is going to shoot down your satellite. Oh, and Russia will pull its funding if that happens.
	Sword of Hope review (GB) Reviewed by Joseph Shaffer on April 29, 2013 - # To me, it seems like Kemco focused too much of its attention on Sword of Hope's presentation and not enough in categories that actually matter. The end result is an RPG that serves as a mere skeleton for a great game.
	Clash At Demonhead review (NES) Reviewed by Julian Titus on April 29, 2013 - # Even though it stumbles now and then, I think Clash at Demonhead is a game that people should seek out. It stands as a true example of forward thinking that was hampered by the technical limitations of the 8-bit era.
	Nuts & Milk review (NES) Reviewed by Rhody Tobin on April 29, 2013 - # Nuts & Milk would be a great name for a buddy cop movie.
	Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles review (NES) Reviewed by David Oxford on April 28, 2013 - # Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the NES has a lot going for it, in spite of its famous flaws.
	StarTropics review (NES) Reviewed by David Oxford on April 27, 2013 - # StarTropics provides a fun and fascinating combination of various elements, but one miscalculation results in the title being tragically overlooked or even completely forgotten by many of today’s players, even those who might frequently delve into retro gaming.
	Willow review (NES) Reviewed by Rob Hamilton on April 27, 2013 - # When you get to a town, count on walking through about 20 screens to find the five or so homes that you can actually enter to find information, items or a place to rest. Midway through the game, when you have to scale a pair of towers, enjoy seeing the same few screens as you ascend each one's multiple, identical floors.
	Chack'n Pop review (NES) Reviewed by Rhody Tobin on April 27, 2013 - # Someone needs to get on that Chack'n Pop/Chakan: The Forever Man slash fic.
	Spec Ops: The Line review (PS3) Reviewed by Gary Hartley on April 27, 2013 - # Come suffer alongside me. You'll thank me for it.
	Dr. Chaos review (NES) Reviewed by Julian Titus on April 24, 2013 - # This could have been one of those forgotten 8-bit classics, but the poor controls, repetitive item farming, and awful music keep this decidedly in the B-tier of NES games.
	Super Black Bass 3D review (3DS) Reviewed by Gary Hartley on April 23, 2013 - # Too clusmy to be a sim. Too slow to be arcade. Too ugly to get a second look.
	Ice Climber review (NES) Reviewed by Rhody Tobin on April 22, 2013 - # Very nearly lands on the platform of greatness, but accidentally slips through the edge instead.
	Adventure Island review (NES) Reviewed by Kyle Charizanis on April 21, 2013 - # Hudson’s Adventure Island is Super Mario Bros. on steroids.
	Gitaroo-Man review (PS2) Reviewed by David Owen on April 21, 2013 - # Gitaroo Man is a dream for genre purists, and is destined to live on as a fondly remembered cult classic.
	Excitebike review (NES) Reviewed by David Oxford on April 20, 2013 - # Though it's solidly made, and features some slightly catchy tunes to go along with its somewhat-iconic NES visuals, Excitebike doesn't really offer players a lot of depth.
	Golf review (NES) Reviewed by David Oxford on April 20, 2013 - # Golf for the NES is one of those games that delivers exactly what it promises in the title.
	Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner - Soul Hackers review (3DS) Reviewed by Brittany Vincent on April 20, 2013 - # Pitfalls aside, Shin Megami Tensei devotees should find plenty to love about Soul Hackers, from its menagerie of demons and decadent weirdness to its classic RPG goodness. It does take a bit of getting used to, so it'll likely really only appeal to the MegaTen faithful, but if you're looking for something a little different, this should fit the bill perfectly.
	Aliens: Colonial Marines review (PS3) Reviewed by Gary Hartley on April 20, 2013 - # A brutal patchwork of exaggerations, underachieving and wasted potential.
	RoboCop review (NES) Reviewed by Joseph Shaffer on April 19, 2013 - # Part brawler. Part run 'n gun. All lackluster.
	G.I. Joe: The Atlantis Factor review (NES) Reviewed by Julian Titus on April 18, 2013 - # Typically, video game sequels are able to build upon the experiences that their predecessors offered. I tend to enjoy any follow-ups far more than I do the initial installments for that reason, but it was clear to me as I played through G.I. Joe: The Atlantis Factor that something had gone very wrong in the design process. The result is a sequel that is inferior to the original title in nearly every way.
