    Rocky Rodent review

    In a couple of ways, Rocky Rodent isn’t that bad of a game. Your heroic vermin has some innovative methods of attack and many levels are loaded with obstacles that will at least take some skill to overcome. It’s just that you can bestow…

    Snatcher review

    ACT I “This was a pretty rough first assignment, Gillian.” So says JUNKER chief Benson Cunningham to Snatcher protagonist agent Gillian Seed in what will prove to have been an outlandish understatement, considering what that first…

    Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time review

    At this point, you have two options. Either you can mash buttons like crazy and hope for the best, or you can press the 'L1' button. Go with the second choice and the game will stutter. You'll relive the last few seconds you played…

    Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door review

    Paper Mario: The thousand year door Intelligent Systems’ first foray into the Paper Mario universe brought forth mixed results. It seemed that Nintendo loyalists loved the innovative battle system and new ideas brought to the table; the…

    Namco Museum review

    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me again though and... hey, it looks like I've just bought another Namco Museum. Formulatic, predictable, and oh so tiresome. Yes, you probably already know how this is going to…

    Earnest Evans review

    The game is not an utter pile. Unfortunately, it takes a bit of time to realize this.

    Eye of the Beholder II: The Legend of Darkmoon review

    If you've ever been caught playing a D&D game by a friend or relative, you know the drill. "Nerd!" they'll yell, laughing at your back as you're hunched over your keyboard or controller, totally entranced. D&D has always been synonymous…

    Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee review

    Munch’s Oddysee was one of the launch titles for the Xbox and was the third game in the Oddworld Quintology. Unlike the previous Oddworld antics, it was in a fully 3D environment and also allowed a tag feature between two characters…

    Suikoden review

    No, this game does not span multiple discs. No, the graphics aren’t 3-D. Ok, ok, the box art is horrible. And yes, I’m not exactly sure how to pronounce the name either. However, none of those things mean that Suikoden is a bad game…

    The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Master Quest review

    Every Zelda fan that preordered the Wind Walker was treated to a bonus disk that was sure to excite each and every one of them. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest is a rehash of the N64 classic that touched gamers…

    Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter review

    In the days of old, nearly every game I played seemed to have a sort of magic to it. Developers poured their hearts and souls into their highly pixelated works with bad graphics in an attempt to bring greatness to a "nerdy" pastime. Then…

    Nanobreaker review

    Whereas manly brawlers like Chaos Legion or Dynasty Warriors throw everything at you simultaneously, Nanobreaker doles its orgamechs out in small, easily-sliced clusters as if this were a really boring version of Streets of Rage or Final…

    Space Harrier review

    Being one of the first shooters released when game systems began to take over our lives, Space Harrier surely brings back the fond memories of those past evenings as a little kid sitting around our Nintendos and Sega Master Systems. Space…

    Super Mario 64 DS review

    The idolization of Mario throughout history has opened many eyes to the world of gaming. Side scrolling platformers were what started it all, but an interesting side note will show you the wild success that Mario's first venture in the…

    Brutal: Paws of Fury review

    When a game is released on three different systems and you own all three systems it can be a small chore deciding what system to get which game on. With Brutal, a 2-D fighting game from the 16-bit days, I had a choice of three versions…

    Tottemo Pheromone review

    In the past, companies that chose to localize bishoujo games have experienced tragically short lives. Not only does this result in times where fans must survive through periods with a paucity of new releases, it means that series of games…

    Valis: The Fantasm Soldier review

    Instead of the tale of heroine Yuko and former best bud Reiko's tragic friendship, the Valis manual talks about how Reiko is dating Rogles (King of the Dark World and general menace to society) because she thinks he's cute! What in the…

    Virgin Roster ~Shukketsubo~ review

    You’re a loathsome son of a bitch who violently rapes innocent schoolgirls and faculty to satiate your hideous urges. In the game, I mean. But don’t take my word for it – try this heartwarming description that comes straight from the…

    Inuyasha: A Feudal Tale review

    If you have the urge for some casual demon fighting action, then look no further. This game offers plenty of demons, girls with sacred arrows, a lady with a giant boomerang, and a guy who sucks up things with his hand. A Feudal Fairy Tale…

    El Viento review

    It’s not like I was a complete stranger to El Viento. Even before I first played it, I felt like I knew just about everything about the game. A slew of vivid works describing wonderfully-drawn cinemas and creative levels chock full of…
