The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX review (GBC)Reviewed on June 03, 2014Link explores a new world that is suspiciously similar to the one he usually roams. I'm not complaining. |

Kirby's Dream Land 2 review (GB)Reviewed on May 09, 2014Kirby eats and eats and eats, but his appetite is never satisfied. We've all had days like that. |

Tales of Maj'Eyal review (PC)Reviewed on April 22, 2014The story of how one man finally found a rogue-like game he truly enjoyed. |

Mystic Ark review (SNES)Reviewed on March 02, 2014I liked it better than 7th Saga, but that's essentially damning with faint praise. |

Resonance of Fate review (X360)Reviewed on February 20, 2014There's nothing quite like gradually mastering a combat system that resembled a bizarre alien language when you first encountered it. |

Little Samson review (NES)Reviewed on January 25, 2014This is a pretty neat mash-up of some Castlevania and Mega Man themes. While not sacrificing one bit of those NES series' difficulty! |

Rudra no Hihou review (SNES)Reviewed on January 16, 2014It's time to let Square Enix know there are better things they could be doing with their time than that easily-mocked iOS version of Final Fantasy VI. |

Shining Force Gaiden: Final Conflict review (GG)Reviewed on December 01, 2013As the game progresses, the fights start getting pretty tough. By the time you've reached the final handful, virtually every foe will come at your guys with damaging long-range area-of-effect spells, making it impossible to avoid taking massive amounts of damage. |

Kouryuu Densetsu Villgust Gaiden review (NES)Reviewed on November 22, 2013And in case you were wondering, Murobo stepped in and obliterated the final boss’s end phase in about two hits while laughing off any of its attempts to attack him. That only serves to further illustrate the disparity between characters. |

Override review (TG16)Reviewed on November 01, 2013Instead, we have six levels that are just there. A couple have you flying over Earth-like surfaces, while others position you above bland mechanical structures that could be a Death Star-like tunnel, a futuristic military base, a satellite up there in space or whatever. |

X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse review (PS2)Reviewed on October 10, 2013So, how did this game insert the Age of Apocalypse into their actual continuity? Well, the first thing Apocalypse does here is take over Genosha, displacing Magneto and his Brotherhood of Evil and causing them and the X-Men to engage in some teeth-clinched teamwork. A number of the more notable villains were AoA baddies, such as Abyss, Holocaust and Sugar Man. Sugar Man even refers to being in the alternate universe, noting that Apocalypse is "as good as gold in any universe". |

Sonic Mega Collection Plus review (PS2)Reviewed on September 20, 2013I've not actually seen Ristar on this collection because of the painfully tedious process of unlocking games. From doing a good bit of reading, you apparently need a save for Sonic Heroes on your memory card to get a couple of the games, while the rest are unlocked by starting up various Genesis games a whole bunch of times; and game hints are unlocked by keeping games open for three hours. This is just so stupid… |

Uchuu Keibitai SDF review (NES)Reviewed on September 19, 2013Take out the enemy's space armada and you'll then find yourself in a claustrophobic base. The level is only one screen wide and you'll be maneuvering through narrow, cramped corridors that (of course) have enemies lurking just out of range. The only thing missing was the message, "And now for something completely different…" flashing on the screen between stages — a sentiment which only grows towards the end of the game when you suddenly find yourself outside flying over a desert. |

Silent Hill HD Collection review (X360)Reviewed on August 30, 2013Maybe it's watching James descend down one deep hole after another…only to wind up outside on ground level with no indication that he'd been following a steadily declining path; or perhaps it's Heather having to frantically check doors in a shopping mall while constantly being chased by durable monsters she has nowhere near enough ammo to put down — these are not emotionally relaxing games. |

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion review (X360)Reviewed on August 05, 2013It never leaves entirely, though. I mean, I've spent a total of 375 or so hours in the world of Oblivion and its DLC, and I have no regrets. I was glad when it was over and I doubt I'll ever play it again, but I had a great time until the end, when I was just trying to finish off the final few quests as quickly as possible. |

Tougi-Ou: King Colossus review (GEN)Reviewed on July 11, 2013You start out as some anonymous kid living with an old guy who seems to hate you, and a younger woman who tries to work as a buffer. She also heals you whenever you visit, so I liked her almost as much as I hated how the game basically shrugs off the old dude's behavior as "tough love". |

Xexyz review (NES)Reviewed on July 08, 2013Other than them, Xexyz is a pretty manageable game with my main stalling point being one particular boss fought fairly late into the game. Horrza looks pretty awesome (the fact that he’s a jet-pack-wearing dragon wielding a pair of guns — one seemingly grafted into its tail — might be the coolest thing imaginable), but he'll utterly slaughter all but the most skilled players with nonstop fire aided by his erratic movements up and down the screen. |
