	Area 51 review (PC) Reviewed on June 28, 2006 Midway originally released Area 51 as a lightgun game several but, when all of the sudden remaking old games became popular, the good people at Midway decided that they would modernize Area 51 and turn it into a traditional first-person shooter and dropping the lightgun gimmick (and the arcades) which made the franchise popular. I blame Nintendo and the Gameboy Advance for causing this phenomenon to sweep the video gaming world, but I won’t get started on that. There are very few s...
	F.E.A.R.: First Encounter Assault Recon review (PC) Reviewed on June 28, 2006 F.E.A.R stands as the most intense first-person shooter I’ve ever played. It doesn’t achieve intensity by bombarding you with ear-splitting explosions, or keeping you constantly at the brink of death, but through sheer atmosphere, design, and pacing. Even if you aren’t a tactician when it comes to first-person shooters and prefer run-and-gun mayhem, this game will slow you down and force you into the crouch position. F.E.A.R will have you leaning around corners, taking very careful...
	The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask review (N64) Reviewed on June 28, 2006 MM (the Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask) is perhaps the single most unique Zelda game. It did something that only one of the others did; it broke away from the classic Zelda story line. MM also has revamped graphics and a new musical score when compared to Ocarina of Time, but the combat is mostly the same. As for the length and difficulty of MM; the difficulty can be gauged, but this game has a very interesting innovation that makes it much more difficult to determine the length of the game: a t...
	The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX review (GBC) Reviewed on June 28, 2006 Link's Awakening DX (LA for the purpose of this review) is one of the lesser known games in the Zelda saga. Their are several possible reasons for it's being relatively unknown: perhaps people are alienated by the original storyline, maybe people prefer the item systems of Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Wind Waker, or perhaps people simply flat-out hate handhelds. In any event, LA is one of the stronger Zelda titles, due to its being perhaps the most unique of them all.
	Martial Masters review (ARC) Reviewed on June 28, 2006 Martial Masters is, quite possibly, the greatest 2-D fighter you’ll never play.
	Lunar: Dragon Song review (DS) Reviewed on June 25, 2006 If an RPG strongly encourages a player to engage in twice as many battles as should be necessary, then it better possess an engaging fighting scheme. Lunar: Dragon Song does not. Its limited turn-based system might as well be on autopilot, which is thankfully a prominent selection preceding every encounter.
	Big Sky Trooper review (SNES) Reviewed on June 25, 2006 Do you believe in aliens? Do you think that there’s a whole other race of intelligent beings somewhere out in that endless void called the universe? The entertainment industry certainly thinks so. Over the last few decades, we’ve been introduced to a wide variety of beings that look nothing like anything from our planet. We’ve met Wookies, Vulcans, Ewoks, and whatever the hell E.T. was. But for all of those beneficent races, there are always more than enough evil ones, such as the ones from I...
	Guilty Gear: Dust Strikers review (DS) Reviewed on June 25, 2006 It’s officially the summer of 2006, and American gamers have their hands full right now. The gaming world steeped in hype over the next generation of systems, the current systems are dying off in a blaze of glory, and one of the most heated handheld gaming rivalries ever shows no sign cooling down. In the midst of all the change, DS tries to make up for lacking graphical power by offering gamers some of the most interesting games out there, ranging from the misadventures of Phoenix Wright...
	Feeding Frenzy review (X360) Reviewed on June 24, 2006 Fish you couldn’t eat moments before suddenly become your victims, sort of like how the sticky ball you rolled around in Katamari Damacy couldn’t pick up a mouse one minute, but later rolled up an entire skyscraper on a single pass. Of course, there are a few key differences.
	Plok review (SNES) Reviewed on June 23, 2006 The final area’s penchant for giving Plok strange tools and forcing him to use them to overcome obstacles reaches its peak at the very end of the game, as he must fight the final boss wearing a pair of spring shoes that force him to bound around the arena in a very hard-to-control fashion. Nothing like a climactic battle where I get killed solely because my hero is constantly bouncing into the path of what should be easily-dodged bullets!
	Suikoden V review (PS2) Reviewed on June 23, 2006 Suikoden V takes place in the Queendom of Falena, a magical land where bunnies with knives attack innocent travelers and giant, marauding werewolves drop 200 skill points when they die. It’s called a Queendom because the Queen rules just like a king would, the king is just the commander of the army, and the Prince has no real power or anything because the king is always decided by a tournament he can’t even participate in. So, basically, Prince [Insert Your Name Here], is the equivalent of a Princess. Which explains why he looks like a girl. I guess.
	Drakengard review (PS2) Reviewed on June 21, 2006 Love. Crimson Blood.
	Sagaia review (GEN) Reviewed on June 21, 2006 Due to the path I'm taking, my objective is the sea urchin-like monstrosity known as Leadain — a foul contraption with multiple deadly attacks and seemingly more lives than a cat. It kills me, forcing me to re-enter the fray with only a pair of pea-shooter weapons. Not even the luck of the gods will allow me to see the next level under these conditions.
	Final Fantasy IX review (PSX) Reviewed on June 21, 2006 Right at Birth
	Half-Life 2: Episode One review (PC) Reviewed on June 20, 2006 I don’t like this whole “episodic gaming” trend that’s hitting PCs everywhere thanks to our good friends at Valve, the creators of Half-Life. While I understand their justifications for releasing segments of a single game in four-hour blocks over the span of a couple of years instead of one whole package that will inevitably spend much more time in development, I just don’t like playing through what feels like an unfinished product. Half-Life 2: Episode One has all the polish and s...
	Hexic HD review (X360) Reviewed on June 19, 2006 In the end, despite the frustration and occasionally unfair situations that sometimes surface, Hexic HD is a great way to pass the day away with.
	Super Castlevania IV review (SNES) Reviewed on June 17, 2006 Outro
	Hitman: Blood Money review (PS2) Reviewed on June 16, 2006 Is it his style, his attitude, or the artistry in his skill? Maybe he is the manifestation of our own sadistic fantasies.
	Tao's Adventure: Curse of the Demon Seal review (DS) Reviewed on June 15, 2006 I envisaged an epic struggle through the colourful floors of Monster Tower, fighting ancient beasts with fearsome spells. In hindsight, my expectations were a little high.
	Motoroader MC review (TGCD) Reviewed on June 13, 2006 In the tradition of the legendary Super Sprint, each Motoroader race is presented in a single-screen birds' eye view, so that you can see all the racers, all the obstacles, and all the action without any view-changing or mirror-flipping nonsense. There are a few hazards like ice patches or volcanic gorges, but for the most part you'll just hold down the "accelerate" button and speed as quickly as possible through eight laps on each track.
