	Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale review (PC) Reviewed on February 28, 2011 Everyone salutes the knights in mythril armor, the adept mages and wise wizards, the swift thieves and rogues, and dual-sword wielding rangers of the elvish variety. They praise the questing heroes because they had the best weapons and armor and gained just enough levels to pummel that malevolent otherworldy being who threatened to enslave humanity.	4/5
	Ikari Warriors review (NES) Reviewed on February 23, 2011 Bungle in the jungle	1.5/5
	Light's End review (X360) Reviewed on February 20, 2011 Welcome to Light's End, and indie adventure game with many head-nods to old school RPGs that blends a few elements together to create a game that's simple and unique. It successfully challenges the ideas of what a game can be and what is important in playing a game.	4/5
	Torchlight review (PC) Reviewed on February 16, 2011 Your first step into Torchlight will put to rest your worries or quell your doubts. The rich art style with appropriately used earthy colors and a darker, grimmer setting tell you that this is a far cry from Fate's somewhat confused atmosphere. Where the latter is cartoony and a tad happy-go-lucky forced into the same bed with violence, blood-letting and terror, Torchlight is consistently dark and moody. It doesn't pretend to be My First Diablo Clone, but knows what players are looking for. It s...	4/5
	Godzilla: Monster of Monsters review (NES) Reviewed on February 13, 2011 Godzilla: Monster of Monsters was the game I had been dreaming of as a child. What young Godzilla fan and budding b-movie enthusiast wouldn't want to play a game where you pound the pavement as Big G, smashing civilization, torching familiar faces of the rogues gallery like King Ghidorah and Gigan, and giving the JSDF a torturous migraine? The thought gave me a nerdgasm.	2.5/5
	Phantom Fighter review (NES) Reviewed on February 10, 2011 It's pitch-black and freezing. The wind doesn't chill your bones as much as the stillness hanging over all the Chinese villages. The hustle and bustle of human life had been replaced by the horrified screams of the villagers as the kyonshis, undead creatures of East Asian folklore, devoured them, and then there came only complete silence. Even the insects dare not buzz and pasturing animals remain invisible. If a man were to listen ...	2/5
	Super Meat Boy review (PC) Reviewed on February 07, 2011 Like all good stories involving giant saw blades, exploding pieces of sentient meat, and evil fetuses, this one is about a girl.	4.5/5
	Hydlide review (NES) Reviewed on February 05, 2011 You really do run into trouble with this one...	0.5/5
	Eternal Sonata review (X360) Reviewed on February 01, 2011 Eternal Sonata is a J-RPG in which you follow a group of anime-inspired characters through an adventure that seems like most every other. Among the main three characters are Polka, a terminally ill teenage girl who's going on a soul searching journey; Allegretto, a homeless guy who excels in swordsmanship and has the hots for Polka; and Fredrick, the incarnation of renowned pianist Fredrick Chopin who is convinced that the fantastical world that Polka and Allegretto live in is his dream a...	3/5
	Krazy Kreatures review (NES) Reviewed on January 30, 2011 Imagine a modern match-three mobile game, except waaaaay dated.	2.5/5
	Doc Clock: The Toasted Sandwich of Time review (PC) Reviewed on January 27, 2011 Doc Clock: The Toasted Sandwich of Time wants to tantalize you with inventive gameplay and a fabulous 2D side scroller environment like a viewing into the past. However, one fatal flaw brings the whole construct crashing down. Building different devices to survive the hazards of the future is an intriguing idea, one crushed by shaky and inconsistent physics.	2/5
	Xexyz review (NES) Reviewed on January 24, 2011 Humanity nearly wiped itself clean off the map, and the Mother Nature attempted to aid the process with a few hundred natural disasters. Peaceful fairies then came along and built a nation on the bones and smoldering ruins of humanity and called it Xexyz. To keep peace and order, they established five cute anime girls as princesses, and everyone lived happily ever after.	3.5/5
	Cave Story review (WII) Reviewed on January 19, 2011 I knew after ages of searching through scores of dull family games, pointless platformer reboots, and obscure puzzle games that I would find a WiiWare game actually worth the price of admission. This game, ladies and gentlemen, is Cave Story. Never mind that this game is free on PC, the Wii version gives us a few new goodies, as well as updated graphics and sounds, the ability to use a controller instead of relying on a keyboard, and the same amazing gameplay that make it worth the $12 ...	4.5/5
	WWF: Betrayal review (GBC) Reviewed on January 16, 2011 Just what I wanted: a WWE game where you wrestle the backstage crew.	1.5/5
	The Magic of Scheherazade review (NES) Reviewed on January 14, 2011 Leap off that steed and cast away that shining armor. It's time to take the hot sands, to don a turban and wield a scimitar with deadly grace. Leave behind those fantasies that have been final for fourteen games or those quests of the dragon kind, and delve into The Magic of Scheherazade. It's a wonderful RPG that maintains the sword and sorcery feel, yet changes the setting all together. It's not set in a world like medieval times, but more akin to Arabian Nights. With much t...	5/5
	Jim Henson's Muppet Adventure No. 1: Chaos at the Carnival review (C64) Reviewed on January 10, 2011 If you're a seeker of esoterica or a man with a penchant for playing poorly made license titles, then Jim Henson's Muppet Adventure: Chaos at the Carnival is just the ticket. It's the crème de la crème of awful. Most wouldn't expect much of a Muppet game, maybe mediocrity at best, but I'm sure few would expect to be at the very bottom of the gaming totem pole. It's a license title with hardly any elements that attach it to its source material, loaded with just about every gaming flaw y...	0.5/5
	Archon review (NES) Reviewed on January 05, 2011 Conquest! That supreme notion that you have overcome your opponents, that the ground you walk on is now yours, and that all your opponents can do is cry and bleed. Ha-ha, you might laugh. My knights have cut your goblins to ribbons. My unicorns now frolic in the fields littered with the body parts of your manitcores. This is war, this is Archon. It's a strategy game that wins for being simple and addictive, despite being too easy.	3.5/5
	8 Eyes review (NES) Reviewed on January 02, 2011 Everyone compares 8 Eyes to Castlevania, and gamers are split down the middle on which is better. If you couldn't tell by my score, I'm of the “Castlevania is better” persuasion. Both games are marked for having extreme challenge, though the implementation of the challenge differs in both. Castlevania has simple gameplay, but would rather give you difficult situations that require timing and skill. It's m...	2.5/5
	The Adventures of Star Saver review (GB) Reviewed on December 30, 2010 Imagine: a run 'n gun game where you play as a tough LAPD cop who looks like he's twelve, surrounded by giant pill bugs, vicious cartoony dogs, and killer music notes, your trusty standard issue handgun drawn and your sentient mech sidekick at your side. Do I sense the makings for a buddy cop film? The landscape is wondrous, but the alien world they are on looks forbidding. The two are grateful to have one another. They know their trials will be many, but don't realize they won't be very try...	3/5
	Wizards & Warriors review (NES) Reviewed on December 26, 2010 High fantasy hits all-time lows	1.5/5
