Battle Arena Toshinden review (PSX)Reviewed on March 29, 2013Battle Arena Toshinden is a forgettable fighting game overshadowed by its brothers. |

Sacred review (PC)Reviewed on February 28, 2013Sacred's shortcoming is not that it doesn't feature a skull-crushing difficulty, but that it doesn't know when to put the lid on its simplicity. |

Mega Man 2 review (NES)Reviewed on February 22, 2013Yes, I've managed to write a Mega Man review without using "blue bomber" in the main body. You're welcome. |

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night review (PSX)Reviewed on January 20, 2013I cherish so many facets of this game that even its minor flaws--which are heavily overshadowed its stellar exploration elements, strong atmosphere, breathtaking visuals, and fantastic soundtrack--occupy a special place in my heart. |

Batman Returns review (NES)Reviewed on December 14, 2012When I think of effective beat 'em ups, adjectives like "awesome" and "badass" come to mind, and those are the last words I'd use to describe a gang of combat-trained circus performers. Sorry, but I'll take broken bottles and seedy night clubs over frills, grease paint, and leotards any day. |

The Wonderful End of the World review (PC)Reviewed on November 18, 2012At best, copying so much of a game could be argued as an homage. At worst, it's lazy, insincere and cheap, calling to mind generic brand food found in most supermarket |

Kid Klown in Night Mayor World review (NES)Reviewed on November 16, 2012Kid Klown in Night Mayor World is a cute, forgettable, rudimentary platformer on NES. It’s one of a legion of mediocre sidescrollers that were released throughout the '80s and '90s that will likely be lost in the annals of gaming history, where they will be overshadowed by a handful of spectacular members from their genre. In other words, play those other titles instead. |

Sweet Home review (NES)Reviewed on October 31, 2012Regardless of Sweet Home's lacking challenge factor, the game still won my heart. As a lover of all things horror, from films to literature, playing an NES game that was as brutal as some of my favorite '80s fright flicks was a treat. |

Zombie Nation review (NES)Reviewed on October 28, 2012In a shooter, extremely loose controls serve only to infuriate gamers by adding an element of cheapness to the difficulty. This is precisely what the game does, and it pays for it in the end. Instead of an action-packed mixture of beauty and quirk, Zombie Nation is an unstable and tedious shooter. |

Haunted House review (A2600)Reviewed on October 27, 2012I'll dare to say what other niche fans will consider blasphemy: Haunted House has aged poorly. |

Zombies Ate My Neighbors review (SNES)Reviewed on October 25, 2012Without missing a beat, I crushed all opposition, rescued every neighbor, and stockpiled weapons and items like mad. With fluid and fast-paced mechanics paired with simple arcade-style action, it was difficult not to stomp my enemies into the ground and develop a complex. |

Frankenstein: The Monster Returns review (NES)Reviewed on October 24, 2012...[Frankenstein: The Monster Returns] is a ho-hum action title unworthy of your valuable time and brain cells. Skip it and read the original novel instead. |

Frankenstein's Monster review (A2600)Reviewed on October 22, 2012Its thanks to its simple structure, swift pace, and impressive implementation of an actual ending that Frankenstein's Monster is a stellar entry into Atari 2600's library. Unfortunately, it's not a well-known title, though it deserve to be. I say this because it's unlike other obscure Atari 2600 titles in that it's actually worth playing for fans of the console. |

Dr. Chaos review (NES)Reviewed on October 15, 2012At no point was I required to execute tough leaps or weave through a complex arrangement of platforms while worrying about a nearby winged skeleton. Everything was straightforward and obvious, and actually quite dull. Such vapidity brought down the experience as a whole and left me with a new unfortunate outlook on the game. |
