Available Reviews
	Double Dragon II: The Revenge review (NES) Reviewed on April 16, 2013 Could it be? Technos learned from its mistakes?
	Snow Bros. review (NES) Reviewed on April 15, 2013 Snowmen are criminally underrepresented as video game protagonists.
	The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct review (X360) Reviewed on April 15, 2013 The game spooked me on a couple of occasions and frequently almost has enough atmosphere to make its many shortcomings worth overlooking, but then you come across a walker staring at a wall, getting stuck to an object or running in circles due to pathfinding confusion and all immersion is shattered.
	Gremlins 2: The New Batch review (NES) Reviewed on April 14, 2013 No one would blame you if you saw Gremlins 2: The New Batch sitting on a used game store shelf somewhere and quickly looked past it. There have been plenty of awful movie-based video games over the years, and the NES certainly wasn’t immune to this phenomenon. Look closer, though, and you’ll realize that this particular game was developed by Sunsoft, a company that produced some of the best software available for the original Nintendo console.
	Ninja-Kun: Majou no Bouken review (NES) Reviewed on April 13, 2013 If you like your ninja games slow and clunky and miserable, this is the game for you.
	Magi Nation review (GBC) Reviewed on April 13, 2013 Magi-Nation is a fine example of western RPG developers floundering for success in the RPG genre in the early 21st century
	Dead Moon review (TG16) Reviewed on April 13, 2013 In Dead Moon, only during boss fights, your ship turns around and faces left once you reach the screen’s right edge. You’ll feel like you're in an actual arena, struggling to survive a battle with a true rival. The game makes full use of this mechanic, too; bosses will fly all over the screen, forcing you to constantly remain on the move in order to stay alive.
	Secret of Evermore review (SNES) Reviewed on April 09, 2013 A fresh team of developers from Squaresoft (the company’s North American wing) oversaw development with little direction from the head office. Apparently, their instructions were simply to craft a game about a boy and his dog traveling through a world comprised of cheesy movie environments. Given this simplistic premise and the relative inexperience of the developers, it’s not surprising that the product the team produced has so little in common with most other Square titles of the era.
	Abadox review (NES) Reviewed on April 09, 2013 When you resume play, you'll find yourself again controlling that same slow-moving, impotent piece of junk with which you started. The big difference is that now you'll possibly be starting from a mid-level checkpoint or even a more difficult late-game area. Odds are that you'll quickly lose the rest of your lives and realize that you're playing one of those shooters where, if you can't complete it on one life, you might as well reset and start again from scratch.
	Bokosuka Wars review (NES) Reviewed on April 09, 2013 Everybody loses when they play Bokosuka Wars.
	Action 52 review (NES) Reviewed on April 08, 2013 52 Ways to Die
	Pinball review (NES) Reviewed on April 08, 2013 Some games are timeless. Others are NES Pinball.
	Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory review (PS3) Reviewed on April 03, 2013 In this form, stats are increased substantially and so is the character’s bust line. Seriously. The young girls are transformed into scantily clad women who wear battle gear that is intended more for fashion than function. I'm not sure why Compile Heart decided to go in this direction, but it’s a franchise staple and it contributes to far too many excessively sexual scenes (including a group bath).
	Borderlands review (X360) Reviewed on March 31, 2013 The game play works incredibly well, but more polish on the more superficial aspects would have made this a game worth revisiting. It may have gotten the Game of the Year, but that was then; the GOTY edition with all of the DLC is affordable now and you’ll get a lot of hours out of it, sure. Borderlands 2 improves on its predecessor in every single way, though,
	White Noise Online review (X360) Reviewed on March 30, 2013 White Noise Online has made the original title, which I really enjoyed for the three months of its applicable life span, completely obsolete.
	Battle Arena Toshinden review (PSX) Reviewed on March 29, 2013 Battle Arena Toshinden is a forgettable fighting game overshadowed by its brothers.
	BioShock Infinite review (PC) Reviewed on March 29, 2013 I'm used to BioShock games tucking their most important characters away in other rooms, so seeing Irrational put so much effort into someone who's at the very forefront from the get-go works wonders to make me feel more connected to the story's happenings. Booker may be the hero, and he's no slacker in the character development field himself, but Infinite is Elizabeth's show.
	Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom review (GEN) Reviewed on March 27, 2013 ahh hubris thy name is Sega.
	Bubble Bobble Part 2 review (NES) Reviewed on March 26, 2013 2 is the loneliest number.
	Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance review (X360) Reviewed on March 26, 2013 For all the silly things that occurred in Metal Gear Solid 2, all the absurd situations Raiden was placed in, and for all the asinine codec conversations I had with Rose (single-handedly trying to stop super-powered terrorists, damn it!), there's one aspect I really enjoyed: using that sword.
