	Dark Cloud 2 review (PS2) Reviewed on March 13, 2005 Near the beginning of the PS2's release a little-known game by the name of Dark Cloud was released. It was fun, but nothing special made it stand out other than its innovative, yet slightly restricted Georama system. It fell into a pit of mediocrity, and before the American release even hit, there was talk of a sequel.
	Steel Empire review (GEN) Reviewed on March 12, 2005 Blimps aren't the strongest selling point in this day and age, and they weren't a strong selling point back in 1992 either. Perhaps some people might enjoy the idea of gatling-toting, supercharged WWI aircraft flying into orbit and beyond, but the whole notion of sailing a blimp through an asteroid field struck me as being quite silly (and in this game's specific case, dull).
	Wizards & Warriors X: Fortress of Fear review (GB) Reviewed on March 12, 2005 I need you to bear with me. I have something I want to share, and it may sound irrelevant, but just give me some time; I promise to be brief, and it will all make sense in the end.
	Manhunt review (PS2) Reviewed on March 12, 2005 Death would have been a luxury for James Earl Cash, considering the hellish situation he was soon plunged into following his execution. He was a convict on Death Row, but that was so long ago, it hardly seemed necessary going into his past. Currently, he was cowering in the shadows like a cockroach while a band of street scum scoured the area, hurling threats and obscenities his way. Their baseball bats were strong enough to demolish concrete structures, and Cash was badly aching from one lucky ...
	Thunder Force III review (GEN) Reviewed on March 12, 2005 One level has a famous (and deservedly so) "fire" background, made up of wavey arcs of flame, swirling back and forth as you battle through inconveniently-placed rocky crags. Oddly enough, despite such a memorable background, the scenery is Thunder Force 3's primary graphical weakness. There are a couple levels with neat effects; however, when forced to impress on their own merits, the backgrounds fail. Some of the coloration is horrid — just look at the putrid green slobbery of the woods.
	Resident Evil 4 review (GCN) Reviewed on March 11, 2005 My first day at work consisted of washing countertops and cleaning dishes. Rookie cop Leon Kennedy wasn't so on the safe side. He arrived on the job expected to be berated for tardiness by his superior officer, but ended up battling his way through hordes of mindless zombies in the mountain resort Raccoon City. The Umbrella Corporation, an international pharmaceutical company that was the backbone of Raccoon City’s economy, had secretly been experimenting with viruses that changed inner biologic...
	Alien Hominid review (PS2) Reviewed on March 11, 2005 Yes, this little terror can decapitate America's finest intelligence officers and then pick his teeth. If he's feeling kinder, he can toss a mounted agent instead of getting brains on his wrinkly lips, but then, what's the fun in that?
	The Incredibles review (GBA) Reviewed on March 11, 2005 The Incredibles is easy like Sunday morning. I breezed through the thing in a few subway rides to and from work, losing only a life or two in the process, playing at a time when I am at my most bleary eyed and cack-handed.
	The Incredibles review (PS2) Reviewed on March 11, 2005 The story of Bob Parr and his gifted family of superheroes (wife Mrs. Incredible, children Violet and Dash) is told inexcusably poorly. When you finish the adventure, you still won’t know what the movie is about.
	The House of the Dead 2 review (DC) Reviewed on March 10, 2005 House 2 takes the "living dead" theme and runs with it, creating a far, FAR more enjoyable shooting experience than Romero's horrific magnum opus Daikatana. While this game is "only" an on-rails shooting bonanza, the levels have been designed with the care one might expect from an FPS (or more care, if the FPS in question is that trainwreck Isle of the Dead). Doors can be unlocked with keys, rescued civilians will lead you down alternate paths, and zombies will drag you into hidden sewer tunnels!
	Flicky review (GEN) Reviewed on March 10, 2005 When digging deep into my collection of games I came across the weird part of the closet. Here lay some of the oddest games I had ever played for various systems, ranging from either the generally wacky to the outright bizarre. Games like Snow Bros., Psycho Fox, and Alfred the Chicken seemed to be ones that stood out from the rest because of their originality and charm, while one that never escaped me was a game called Flicky on the Genesis.
	Keith Courage In Alpha Zones review (TG16) Reviewed on March 10, 2005 The Turbografx-16 deserved a better fate than to wind up a distant third to the Super Nintendo and Genesis in the console wars. With superb entries in the platforming and shooter genres, it’s hard to see where the system failed.
	Spawn: In the Demon's Hand review (DC) Reviewed on March 08, 2005 Spawn: In the Demon's Hand had a more than fair chance to impress me. The designs of the immortal characters are both varied and inspired; the frail sharpshooter, the angel of death, the jester that transforms into a raging behemoth — they're all quite inspired, and I wanted to like them and their game. But I don't.
	Maximo: Ghosts to Glory review (PS2) Reviewed on March 08, 2005 I’ve played a handful of good 3D updates lately—Castlevania’s Lament of Innocence was one such solid title—but Maximo outdoes that game and just about any I can think of, at least on one crucial level. Other good 3D follow ups do justice to their predecessors, but Maximo is arguably better than the two 16-bitters to come before it. That’s right, better.
	Sonic the Hedgehog 3 review (GEN) Reviewed on March 08, 2005 The Sonic series never really reached the legendary status many expected, at least it didn't in my mind. Surely, no one was ready for the series to fall apart like it did, at least not after its blazing start, but some would question whether or not the Sonic series was ever great. While the series has had its share of fans, there has also been its detractors, which has compared the series to a lackluster attempt at a new Mario series under the Sega name.
	Sonic the Hedgehog Spinball review (GEN) Reviewed on March 08, 2005 When the Sonic series started to get really popular, it was inevitable that Sega would begin to slowly produce more and more Sonic games. However, not all of them could be the fun and fast platforming adventures we were used to, right? Therefore, Sega had to take some risks if they were to pimp out the Sonic series. Their first really ''innovative'' (if you could call it that) idea was to put Sonic into a pinball game. Well, I certainly admire their braveness. The Sonic fans were needy and greed...
	NHL '95 review (GEN) Reviewed on March 08, 2005 I love the NHL series of video games that were released by EA Sports for the Genesis in the later parts of the 90's, and it all started with NHL'94, which I find to be one of the best hockey games of all time. It was also the game that started the whole series, and it will always have a special place in my heart because of this. NHL '95 is a worthwhile addition to the series, and actually outclasses the original in many regards. I would choose NHL '95 to be the best hockey game on the Genesis th...
	NBA Jam review (GEN) Reviewed on March 08, 2005 We all have heard of the NBA Jam series. Even non-basketball fans love the game for the unique style of gameplay it brings to the table. You see, most basketball games are simulations of real NBA action. And that's fine, as there are some incredible basketball games out there that I do recommend playing without a shadow of a doubt. But, once in a while there's always room for a different style of a game. And that's where NBA Jam comes into play.
	Mortal Kombat review (GEN) Reviewed on March 08, 2005 If there's one thing I hate about video game fans nowadays, it's the fact that if a series has lots of good games, it's automatically assumed that the first game is a classic. Mortal Kombat is the prime example of this. While it is a fine game, it's got a lot of problems that prevent it from becoming a classic. It may have led to a good series, but the original is not a great game at all. The fights are too slow, there's a limited amount of characters, and the game relied too much on fatalities ...
	Marble Madness review (GEN) Reviewed on March 08, 2005 ell, this gets my selection as most difficult Genesis game ever. There is a reason this game is called Marble Madness: this game is so challenging it's insane!! The game has a very high challenge factor but the game is still pretty good nevertheless. It also was released for a few other consoles, inclduing NES, plus the arcade. The Genesis version is my favorite version of the game, although I have never played the arcade version. Anyways, Marble Madness is a fun and challenging game and a good ...
