	Dead Rising II: Case Zero review (X360) Reviewed on July 10, 2012 It's like the equivalent to purchasing a Dead Rising 1 demo where Frank West and the helicopter pilot have to land for fuel and punch a guy in the face.
	DiRT Showdown review (X360) Reviewed on July 09, 2012 If you're in the mood for a decent, accessible racing game, you can do a lot worse than DiRT Showdown. The trouble is that you can also do a lot better for a lot less money.
	Monster Party review (NES) Reviewed on July 09, 2012 [Monster Party] pales in comparison to other side-scrollers on the NES; games that feature brilliant levels, stiff challenges, and epic 8-bit boss battles. Sadly, little of that appears in Monster Party.
	Dead Rising 2 review (X360) Reviewed on July 08, 2012 For the longest time, I, and I think a lot of gamers, believed a sequel to Dead Rising was never going to materialize.
	Master Chu and the Drunkard Hu review (NES) Reviewed on July 06, 2012 Here's a game where Color Dreams stepped up a little bit, but ultimately fell back into their old nasty habits. They curbed their weakness for ripoffs with unstable play control, but ultimately still gave us a game that isn't at all pleasing to play.
	Spec Ops: The Line review (X360) Reviewed on July 06, 2012 Spec Ops: The Line: Game Review
	Theatrhythm Final Fantasy review (3DS) Reviewed on July 04, 2012 The varying rules from one mode to the next can seem overwhelming at first, but the differences are actually rather minor and you’ll adapt to everything quickly enough. The biggest difference is actually the differing background imagery. Battle Music places you in a combat scenario that looks like it was pulled from one of the first nine games, with your characters on the right side of the screen and enemies appearing to the left.
	Wizardry II: Legacy of Llylgamyn review (NES) Reviewed on July 04, 2012 CRPG ports are havens. Some are arguably better than their computer counterparts, gaining music, bug fixes, and new features. Wizardry 1 and 2 are two ports I'd immediately point to as games that improved on the NES. I do not think this is a point lost on active NES players as I often see The Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord cited as an excellent alternative to the Dragon Warrior style RPGs that are so prolific on the NES.
	Air Fortress review (NES) Reviewed on July 04, 2012 Air Fortress came to life when it thrust me into desperate situations while inside the fortress itself. Forget the blending of genres. The blend of isolation, claustrophobia, tension, panic, and the fear that you might not have enough energy to survive was the real mixture this game thrived on.
	Kickle Cubicle review (NES) Reviewed on July 02, 2012 It's like the developers spent more time making it look cute and less time developing a challenging puzzler. I don't know if the toned down challenge was intentional, what with the cutesy atmosphere and all, but it sure as hell wasn't welcome.
	Pokémon Conquest review (DS) Reviewed on July 01, 2012 The realm of Ransei is on the verge of destruction. Its people live for only two things: war and Pokemon. There are countless warriors roaming the land with their trusted animal companions, each seeking the glory and authority rewarded to the victors. Legends say that if a single warlord were to conquer all 17 kingdoms in Ransei, the creator of the world will return and bestow its powers upon the chosen one. As a result, the various nations are locked in eternal conflict, each vying for the slig...
	Quantum Conundrum review (PC) Reviewed on June 30, 2012 We play games primarily for enjoyment; we play games ideally for the full package, in which interactive and non-interactive elements are married seamlessly, and Quantum Conundrum suffers from a clear divide in quality that prevents it from ever truly resonating. That certainly doesn't stop it from being worth the money, but it's been a while since such a unique game felt so formulaic.
	Shatterhand review (NES) Reviewed on June 30, 2012 You might suppose that in a game where you’re supposed to wail on everything with powerful fists, your enemies would attack in a manner that encourages brawls. However, your foes often fire potshots at you from a significant distance. You’ll almost never meet an enemy that is an easy target for your fists, so instead you’ll spend a lot of time slowly sneaking forward while leaping or ducking to avoid projectiles. It slows everything to a crawl at the best of times, while in other instances you’re pretty much screwed until you memorize the layout of a level.
	Onyanko Town review (NES) Reviewed on June 30, 2012 It's a simple arcade-style game that would work great in small sessions, if not for its shortcomings.
	Dear Esther review (PC) Reviewed on June 29, 2012 Bold as it sounds, the game design here is quite fundamental. Move, and trigger.
	Captain Skyhawk review (NES) Reviewed on June 29, 2012 Rare's invitation to play and keep playing is what makes the game worthwhile. It's not only a charming and fun title, but you can tell the developers wanted you to keep playing and enjoy the time you spend.
	Whomp 'Em review (NES) Reviewed on June 28, 2012 Another potential issue is that Whomp ‘Em plays a lot like an old Mega Man title, except that the pacing for the stages doesn’t feel quite as refined as it did in Capcom’s famous series. You can clear the six main stages (after a brief introductory stage) in any order you like, usually after spending only a few minutes in each of them. You’ll even gain special weapons when you emerge victorious.
	The Flintstones: The Treasure of Sierra Madrock review (SNES) Reviewed on June 27, 2012 Fortunately, the action levels that make up the bulk of the game are reasonably good. There’s not a lot of visual variety because each of the stages are themed, but you’ll see grasslands, volcanic areas, icy crags, a dense jungle and a series of dank caverns. The time limit is often every bit as much your enemy as the various animals that try to make life difficult for you.
	Blades of Time review (PC) Reviewed on June 26, 2012 You wield sadistic dual blades, sling spells without much care, and solve innumerable puzzles. It's just that the variety is lacking. Yes, it's totally fun to tear up swarms of zombies with sharpened swords, or blast winged warriors out of the air with a high-powered rifle. It's thrilling to ignite a sea of humanity on fire or freeze pesky critters in place. But the catharsis isn't quite the same.
	Journey review (PS3) Reviewed on June 25, 2012 I'm not going to say I didn't enjoy Journey. That would be a bold-faced lie. I guess what I'm saying is that I enjoyed it, but could have enjoyed it more.
