	Wayne's World review (GEN) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Wayne’s World the film is one of the greatest movies ever made. It is a post modern classic comedy that spawned a thousand catchphrases and meant that Mike Myers could have a proper film and TV career and never have to face the horror of working on Breakfast Time UK Children’s Television (He was a presenter on the Wide Awake Club along with Timmy Mallet, trivia fans). The film was basically about two slackers called Wayne (Mike Myers) and Garth (Dana Carvey) who have their own cable TV show call...	0.5/5
	Toxic Crusaders review (GEN) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Oh good grief. Not content with producing some of the worst movies in cinema history, the team from Troma Films give us one of the worst videogames ever made. Yes Toxic Crusader is dreadful, awful, mind-bogglingly cack-handed and utterly devoid of any merit whatsoever. So never play it.	0.5/5
	Toejam & Earl review (GEN) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Way back in 1991 the only games system I owned was a Game Boy (the era of the big chunky, green screened ones!). The only magazines available at the time that covered Game Boy games were multi-format ones that also covered SNES, Genesis, Master System and NES games. One month I was idly flicking through the Genesis games previews torturing myself with all the games I could never afford to play and in amongst the usually side-scrolling platform games, insipid film tie-ins and sports games one rea...	5/5
	Rolo to the Rescue review (GEN) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 If I had to sum this game up in one word it would be “cute”. Considering this 1992 Genesis game was produced by EA, a company more commonly associated with the sporting genre, it makes it all the more surprising that they produced this slick, child orientated platform game. From the super sickly storyline, through the chunky cartoon characters and finishing with some of the jauntiest music I have ever heard coming from a 16-bit system this screams “for under-10’s” only. But look past that initia...	3.5/5
	Doom Troopers: Mutant Chronicles review (GEN) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 There is no denying it, considering the time and the limitations of the hardware, Doom Troopers is a pretty gory game. However, unlike the unutterably lame SplatterHouse series, this game uses its goriness to simple effect. It livens up and gives some character and humour to what is otherwise a fairly standard side scrolling platform/adventure game.	4/5
	Cyber-Cop review (GEN) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Agent Toni Carter was confused. Kitted out with a state of the art Power Suit she was one of six elite Cyber Cops from the Libra chapter of Zodiac Central assigned to investigate reports of genetically engineered killing machines being created in the shadowy Corporation building of Universal Cybernetics. Accepting the task of infiltrating the building things had got off to a bad start when she first put he power suit on. It was the most complicated thing she had ever had to operate.	1/5
	Chester Cheetah: Wild Wild Quest review (GEN) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 It's 1980. Imagine a little tiny junior falsehead, six years old and loves orange food. Orange lollies, orange squash and orange cheesy poof style crisps. Alas, in those far off days food manufacturers would stuff lots of chemical food colourings into their products to entice kiddies to eat them up. Why alas? Well because falsehead is allergic to artificial orange food colourings E102, E104 and E110. This allergy took the form of extreme hyperactivity. So for several years little junior falsehea...	1.5/5
	The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker review (GCN) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Reviewing the latest game in Nintendo's long running Zelda series has proved to be difficult for me. When I first began the game I was in awe of the amazing graphics, which are as close to playing an interactive cartoon as you can probably get. I was impressed with the fighting system which seems to be a refined version of that which had been pioneered in the previous N64 Zelda games and I was amused by the quality of the scripting and character interaction. All in all I felt in for another roll...	2.5/5
	Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II review (GCN) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Phantasy Star Online has always been a game that you either develop a social-life threatening obsession with, or toss to one side after a couple of hours of play after finding it repetitive and shallow, wondering what all the fuss was about. Coming to this Gamecube update as a veteran of Phantasy Star Online versions 1 and 2 on the Dreamcast, I myself wondered if I would be just as hooked third time around as I was that first time I telepiped down into the sunny forests of Ragol and set about so...	4.5/5
	Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem review (GCN) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Brow furrowed in concentration you guide your character through the heavy wooden door and straight into a room heaving with grotesque zombies. They turn towards you as one, arms outstretched and moaning. No problem, you’re armed to the teeth with various guns, blades and magical powers. You go to aim your weapon, but your character does not respond. “Your Controller is not registering. Please check it is connected properly” reads an official notice on screen. In a panic you dive for the Gamecube...	5/5
	Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku review (GBA) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Dragon Ball Z (DBZ for short) is a hugely popular cartoon hailing from Japan. It is the second in three series that tell the story of a super being called Goku and his struggles against various earth shattering threats as both he and his family and friends grow up. Although DBZ ended in the early 1990’s it has now became a cult favourite in the USA and then the UK thanks to exposure on satellite and cable TV channels like Cartoon network and CNX. Of course where there’s fans there’s gold and it’...	0.5/5
	Pokemon Red review (GB) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Unless you happen to have been clinically dead for the last few years, you can’t fail to have noticed the gaming phenomenon known as pokemon. Even if you have distained all things pocket monster, you have probably, by the process of osmosis acquired more information on this game than you ever needed to know. But for those who don’t know what pokemon is (Ah zombie!! Get away from the PC!), here is a quick history lesson.	5/5
	Virtua Fighter 3tb review (DC) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Ok you've seen the score, you know this is going to be a negative review. Quite frankly I disliked every single aspect of this poor excuse for a fighting game and I'm not going to pull my punches.	1.5/5
	Unreal Tournament review (DC) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Let us not mince words boys and girls, Unreal Tournament on the Dreamcast is one of my all time, number one favourite games of all time. It's great, I love it and haven't got a bad word to say about it. So if you don't want to read anymore of what is going to be a drooling, gooey-eyed, praisefest then stop reading now.	5/5
	Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation review (DC) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 I really don’t know why I bothered with this game. I had steered pretty clear of the Tomb Raider series thus far on the PlayStation. But I was looking in the pre-owned section of my local shop and saw Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation on the Dreamcast available for £3 (roughly $5). For that amount of money I thought it might be worth giving a go. I remembered that upon release this game was given high scores in many gaming magazines and lots of people said “Oh you must play it, it’s a real hark b...	0.5/5
	The Typing of the Dead review (DC) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 This is without doubt the best ridiculous, screwed-up, mentalist hybrid of survival horror and secretarial exam I have ever had the good fortune to play!	5/5
	Stupid Invaders review (DC) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 OK, cards on the table time. I really enjoyed playing Stupid Invaders. I found it an extremely entertaining game and spent a very pleasant couple of evenings completing it.	3/5
	SoulCalibur review (DC) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 For me, Soul Calibur is not just a game; it's a work of art. Even today it still looks stunningly beautiful. It's a game of immense depth and playability. The fighting system is easy for newbies to get to grips with but offers limitless potential for prolonged expert play. Along with Tekken 3, Soul Calibur is one of the most amazing fighting games ever created.	5/5
	Soldier of Fortune review (DC) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Now you've probably read the tagline for the review and though maybe ''eugh, that's in rather poor taste.'' But I think that it sums up the nature of the game rather well. Soldier of Fortune is game full of sickening and sadistic violence but treats it in a rather light hearted and cartoony fashion.	3.5/5
	Shenmue review (DC) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Summarizing the appeal of Shenmue and the reason why I love it so much has been one of the hardest things I have ever tried to write. Maybe its because Shenmue is less a game and more of an “experience”. Indeed its lack of many of the traditional elements of gameplay has caused many people to dismiss it as nice to look at but a chore to play. For me this is a valid point, as a game Shenmue offers very little in the way of thrills. But as an experience it is rivalled only by its sequel in providi...	5/5
