	Astro Robo Sasa review (NES) Reviewed on May 12, 2013 Flying with weapon recoil is an interesting idea that has now been used and never needs to be revisited. Thanks, Astro Robo Sasa.
	Commando review (NES) Reviewed on May 11, 2013 What sets Commando apart from its contemporaries is the sheer intensity of the action
	Vay review (SCD) Reviewed on May 11, 2013 And then, right in the middle of all of that are light-hearted elements such as a horribly flatulent fairy who propels you across an ocean with her gas, a random encounter bull-man called "Retardotaur" and random townspeople who break the fourth wall to remind you that you're playing a video game. Wacky stuff like this works in a game like EarthBound, because most of that game has a somewhat whimsical outlook on things. With Vay, it's just distracting nonsense, like if Hamlet took a pie to the face while staring at Ophelia's body.
	Mappy review (NES) Reviewed on May 11, 2013 So hey, how's that Mappy Championship Edition game coming along, Namco? ... Namco...?
	Kirby's Dream Land review (GB) Reviewed on May 11, 2013 Not so dreamy...
	Gauntlet II review (NES) Reviewed on May 07, 2013 I dissect a game from my early childhood, does it hold up? only one way to find out.
	Zeno Clash II review (PC) Reviewed on May 07, 2013 It's bigger, badder, and WTFier, but it still needs some fine-tuning.
	Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut review (PS3) Reviewed on May 07, 2013 When local woman Anna Graham is found strung up to a tree and completely gutted, FBI agent Francis York Morgan (York, for short) is called to the little mountain hamlet of Greenvale to investigate. Greenvale is no ordinary town, which is perfect for York since he’s no ordinary federal agent.
	Labyrinth X review (X360) Reviewed on May 04, 2013 Trial and error so tedious, it even takes the gleam off barely-covered anime tits.
	Captain Commando review (SNES) Reviewed on May 04, 2013 Not only was blood removed from the game, but the boss named "Blood" got his name changed to the less-intimidating "Boots" (to reflect his kick-heavy offense).
	E.V.O.: The Search for Eden review (SNES) Reviewed on May 01, 2013 E.V.O.: The Search for Eden really shouldn’t be fun. It’s an Action-RPG with almost no redeeming qualities, save for its one highly enjoyable system of evolution. The developers seem to have made the game entirely dependent on that feature, and amazingly, their gambit worked. Even though almost all of the gameplay consists of grinding for EVO (evolution) points to further tweak your Darwinian nightmare, the promise of that next upgrade is just enough motivation to keep playing. I find it ironic that a game about evolution would survive purely by appealing to an obscure niche.
	Gargoyle's Quest II review (NES) Reviewed on April 30, 2013 Released towards the end of the NES’ reign, Gargoyle’s Quest 2 was largely overlooked, in part because the original Game Boy title that preceded it was not exactly a household name.
	XCOM: Enemy Unknown review (PC) Reviewed on April 29, 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 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 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 on April 29, 2013 Nuts & Milk would be a great name for a buddy cop movie.
	WWF Royal Rumble review (SNES) Reviewed on April 29, 2013 Warning: Contains nostalgic ramblings
	Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles review (NES) Reviewed on April 28, 2013 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the NES has a lot going for it, in spite of its famous flaws.
	Darkest of Days review (X360) Reviewed on April 28, 2013 Darkest of Days isn't going to win any awards for being one of the prettiest games on the Xbox 360, as it's a 2009 title that looks like an indie-made Source game released shortly after 2004's Half-Life 2. But if you've been aware of this game, chances are its looks aren't what piques your interest, instead you're intrigued by the premise: time travel.
	StarTropics review (NES) Reviewed 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.
