	Frogger review (SNES) Reviewed on January 19, 2003 I know Frogger is supposed to be a “classic” game, but anyone who’s first experience with it comes through this Super Nintendo stinker will have a hard time believing it. The first clues to the poor quality of the game is that there is barely a title screen, no music, and the development team credits list THREE people. And one of them is a tester. Projects like this were supposed to have happened in the eighties, or later as homegrown indie projects made by teenagers in their basements for fun a...
	Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest review (SNES) Reviewed on January 19, 2003 In its effort to be an “easy” game specifically geared towards young people and those not familiar with role-playing games, Mystic Quest exploits two different concepts of the word “easy.” The game is easy in that it lacks the complexity and number of micromanagement options that could easily overwhelm a casual gamer and tend to turn many people off of RPGs in the first place. However, Mystic Quest also easy because it lacks any serious challenge and lightly skims through all the areas of gamepl...
	Final Fantasy II review (SNES) Reviewed on January 19, 2003 Although it never became the blockbuster in North America that subsequent Final Fantasy games did, the game that was released as Final Fantasy II made a powerful impression on many people including myself. Final Fantasy II will always be special to me; playing it turned me from being a somewhat casual gamer into someone who began to take games much more seriously. Although looking back I can now identify a few of the game’s weaknesses, I will never forget that initial impression of wonder and ex...
	The Chessmaster review (SNES) Reviewed on January 19, 2003 I really suck at chess. I just don’t seem to have the right sort of brain for it, and when I think of playing chess I am bitterly reminded of childhood games where spectators would all suck in their collective breaths and loudly declare “awww, you shouldn’t have done that” after each move I made.
	Arkanoid: Doh it Again review (SNES) Reviewed on January 19, 2003 Arkanoid: Doh it Again contains all of the things one would expect when a game that is part of a longstanding series comes out on a new and more powerful system: more levels, new enemies and power-ups, improved graphics and sound, and dumbed-down gameplay.
	Super Solvers: Treasure Mathstorm review (PC) Reviewed on January 19, 2003 Childhood stories, we visit again. The unprecedented success of Treasure Mountain lead to a very similiar game with just different subgames and a much more interesting environment. Instead of trudging up a tree filled mountain, you were trudging up snowy slopes avoiding getting hit by snowballs and collecting snowballs yourself. You had to work your way through the three levels to the top, and do so over and over against hundreds of times to beat this game. While I think this is possible the wor...
	The 7th Saga review (SNES) Reviewed on January 19, 2003 With its high degree of difficulty and the necessity to devote a great deal of time to level-building, the 7th Saga was not something that appealed to everyone. But it is a game that gains momentum the farther into it you progress, and it provides a bleak and edgier alternative to the glut of anime-tinged fluff RPGs that came out on the SNES.
	Panzer Dragoon Orta review (XBX) Reviewed on January 18, 2003 Choosing the proper form for the task at hand becomes monumentally important. One part of a stage may seem near impossible with one skill set, but another will blaze through it in no time. Often, particularly in a boss battle, the best choice is not one form, but a combination of the two. For example, you might need to glide around to an enemy's rear side, then switch to the attack style with tougher firepower to bring down the foe's gauge quickly.
	Battletoads review (GB) Reviewed on January 17, 2003 I remember sitting in that hotel in Toronto, with my parents and sister out on the city, sightseeing at some museum that did not interest me. I never enjoyed scenery, or for that matter vacation, but my sisters friend brought along a perfect companion for me. His Gameboy. That gray box seemed to shine like the sun, and there was one game that I played more than any other; Battletoads. Either punching warthogs with your fists, or hacking through them with your axe, or whatever other array of weap...
	Kingdom Hearts review (PS2) Reviewed on January 16, 2003 Disney and Square. It seems like a video and mainstream match made in heaven. One is a giant in the movie industry, famous for their children’s movies that have entertained generations, monopolistic policies that endanger the lives of poor workers in third class countries, and for introducing some of the most memorable characters ever by way of world class animation. The other is a giant in the video game industry, famous for bringing roleplaying games, formerly a pursuit of just the hardcore...
	Shinobi review (PS2) Reviewed on January 15, 2003 But then there are those who'll love the challenge, revel in the startlingly addictive gameplay, and see past the mundane-looking environments, amazing themselves with the slick, fashionable elegance the game's artwork possesses.
	Crimson Sea review (XBX) Reviewed on January 14, 2003 Brought to you by the same company that gave us the game with a million ennemies to fight, Dynasty Warrior 3, Koei proudly present the game with a billion ennemies to fight: Crimson Sea.
	Suikoden III review (PS2) Reviewed on January 08, 2003 Few things stir feelings more then the concept of nationalism. The idea that certain ethnic and religious groups are nationally entitled to a vague political boundary based on centuries old barriers is a constant factor in wars in the present day world. No country is immune; the United States prides itself on being the “best” in the world, yet the mere thought that another nation can have a bigger arsenal of weaponry then causes us to hurriedly develop weapons of mass destruction that would gi...
	Ikaruga review (DC) Reviewed on January 08, 2003 ''It goes without saying that you can avoid and escape from trial. But the true meaning of trial is to overcome such your weakness.''
	BMX XXX review (GCN) Reviewed on January 03, 2003 There is some nudity (even if it's bad) and some humor (even though it gets old fast) and there's enough stuff to do that you'll be busy for a while (even though you won't be having much fun). If that sounds about like an experience you want, pick up the game.
	Dead or Alive 3 review (XBX) Reviewed on January 03, 2003 It's easy to forget you're looking at polygons. When a butterfly flaps past, or a rushing waterfall cascades down a moss-covered cliff, you won't be thinking how many polygons that must've taken. You won't likely be thinking about anything technical at all, in fact, because everything looks so natural. This is true of everything from the leaves to the breasts.
