Shadowgate review (NES)Reviewed on June 28, 2002The true point and click adventure. Shadowgate is a game inwhich you go around and collect items that you will have to use in a different place. There is no button smashing and you can take as long as you need to solve the puzzles. This NES version was a succesful game but went by unnoticed by others. However the people that did come across it, and wanted the true thinking game were pleasently surprised. Shadowgate had alot to offer for that Nintendo system. |

Shadowgate Classic review (GBC)Reviewed on June 26, 2002The true point and click adventure. Shadowgate Classic is a game inwhich you go around and collect items that you will have to use in a different place. There is no button smashing and you can take as long as you need to solve the puzzles. Now to the history of the actual game, Shadowgate Classic is a port from the NES system brought back to the Gameboy Color. The NES version was a succesful game but went by unnoticed by others. The Gameboy Color version was identical to he NES version, and the ... |

Final Fantasy VII review (PC)Reviewed on June 25, 2002Final Fantasy 7 is the Ultimate Console RPG ever created. The storytelling is superb, and on the PC the cutscenes are the best I have ever seen. Final Fantasy 7 had alot to live up to, sense Final Fantasy 4 and 6 were such great games, and well in my Final Fantasy 7 was equal too, if not better than both of them. The PC version is no dissapointment either, for it is a good port from the playstation with much improved upon graphics (Yes they rival the Playstation 2 graphics). |

Shadowgate 64: Trials of the Four Towers review (N64)Reviewed on June 25, 2002This is a point and click RPG, as you control the guy, but there is no fighting of any sorts. This is the sequel to Shadowgate for the NES/Gameboy and it lives up to it fairly well. The way the game works is that you pick up every item you come across and using multiple attempts, and also while reading through a million little books, you will discover how to use this. This is definitely a trial and error game, and that is the point. |

Bio F.R.E.A.K.S review (N64)Reviewed on June 24, 2002Bio Freaks is a traditional fighting game, inwhich you fight with some assorted montrosity. They are variously deformed, and have various weapons and hands and such. The coolest aspect of this game is that you can disarm, literally, your opponents so they have like no limbs left. This can be used for some pretty good fun. |

NBA 2K2 review (GCN)Reviewed on June 24, 2002I am not really a fan of the NBA, and I really don't even have a favorite team but I found myself buying NBA 2k2 none-the-less. Why? For two reasons: 1) There were not many Gamecube games worth purchasing and 2) my friend owned the Dreamcast version and it was steller. Therefor I went out and bought the game, and through in the Gamecube as soon as possible. I found myself doing a Fantasy Draft, and drafting rookie PG Jamal Tinsley. Currently he is in the All-Star game, and in control of MVP. Thi... |

Quest 64 review (N64)Reviewed on June 23, 2002It claims to be an RPG, but Quest 64 is not exactly that. Sure it has RPG elements, and random battles, but these battle consist of bonking many enemies on the head, and occasionally zapping them with some random spell. In truth, I though Quest got a bad rap for it is a fairly good game, and I enjoyed it while it lasted. I will not easily sell this game, although I very rarely, if ever, pick this game up. |

The Smurfs review (GB)Reviewed on June 22, 2002This is the one game for my gameboy, that is not completely mine. My sister, even being 4 years older than me, was a smurf fan and wanted this game. Therefor my parents bought it for the both of us. There is really nothing that special about this game. It's just basically another game taken off a television show, and very few (the only major exception is Darkwing Duck) of these game are actually that good for more than a week. |

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening review (GB)Reviewed on June 21, 2002This is by-far the first Zelda game I had ever played. I was easily confused at first, and had trouble getting past the very first puzzles (that dumb mushroom). But after a little help from my peers, and my refusal to ever give up, I had one of the funnest gaming experiences. This Zelda game is a classic, made many years ago. I got this when I first got the gameboy game, and picked up the DX version later. |

Pokemon Red review (GB)Reviewed on June 21, 2002I am not a pokefanatic or anything, and I was probably one of the few people that bought this game without ever knowing there was a television show, or that it was popular overseas. I bought it cause it looked good, and truth is it is a great game. It's been hammered because it is childish, which is true, and yet it is loads of fun, and no matter how much nintendo has done to make it annoying, the game itself will always be good, at least in my mind. |

Tropico review (PC)Reviewed on June 21, 2002How many games can you play as Fidel Castro, or create your own dictator that may be rightous or a lieing sneak. You can send your money to the Swiss Bank accounts and retire in richness, if you last long enough before the citizens of Tropico force you off the island by a military coup. Create your own military, this is definitely a true simulation game, in which you control what happens, however your own mistakes might lead to your pallace being taken down, and your rapid retreat. |

Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year Edition review (PC)Reviewed on June 20, 2002I am in no way a fan of first person shooters. Personally, I hate most of them cause I suck. However this game is a completely different story. I got this game awhile ago, and my friend hooked it up. He told me it was awesome, and that even I could play it. I lauged at him, and assumed this is another game I'll just leave on my computer and not play. However one day later, I was sitting around bored and threw the game in for a try. I found myself working through the Deathmatch instantly. I am no... |

Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber review (N64)Reviewed on Date UnknownI am one of the hardest reviewers on this site, and I believe a game must be superbly made to get that 90 and above plateu. And this game is not completely perfect, sure it has it's weaknesses but it is so strong in many categories that it is or close to my personal favorite game. Ogre Battle 64 is a game that threw me completely in love with RPG's and more specifically stories within them. I am currently out shopping for other Ogre Battle games, just because this game was so good, that the ser... |

Castlevania review (NES)Reviewed on Date UnknownAh, the game that started it all. A simple kid named Simon Belmont sent on a mission that is a curse or gift for his family for games to come. The very first Castlevania game made, almost as old as the Nintendo System itself, and yet it still stands up as an excellent game, and the leader of one of the greatest series' ever to grace this blue and green earth. |

Conker's Pocket Tales review (GBC)Reviewed on Date UnknownI got this game thinking it would be really cool like Conker's Bad Fur Day. Once I realized what the plot was like I started to become a little frightened, but the game still had potential to be good. It's pretty sad that I let a kid borrow this game, and then totally forgot about until one day he gave it back for no reason. This game has a huge problem with the age group, for it is cutesy for little kids, but is extremely challenging (Mako Island for example) Well anyway, this is why this game... |

Mega Man X review (SNES)Reviewed on Date UnknownI just purchased a Super Nintendo, and decided that I needed some games to go along with it. One of my friends sold me Megaman X for a fairly cheap price, and I decided why not. I have own the two gameboy MegaMan's which both I am not to fond of, but Megaman X was a relaxing treat. |

Madden NFL 2002 review (GCN)Reviewed on Date UnknownAs with all Madden games it is just an improvement on the year before. Incase there are people that actually don't know about the Madden series, it is a simulation style football game, alot like NFL 2K2. It is a video game made by EA Sports, year in and year out for around 10 years with never a failed year. This year is definitely no exception, and even the graphics are stunning for a PS2 import. This game amazed me happily, and well deserves it's rating. |

Luigi's Mansion review (GCN)Reviewed on Date UnknownFirst of all the creator of this game had to have something intoxicating in his body when he thought up this idea for a game. I mean, your run around and vaccume ghosts, how fun can it be? But in truth it is pretty fun to go through and solve the puzzles. Who ever said drugs were bad? But to the point, this game was one of the first ever games to cross onto the Gamecube, and it was the game many gamers purchased with their gamecube. Everyone wanted the next Super Mario 64, and suspected somethin... |

Trog review (NES)Reviewed on Date UnknownTrog is one of the games I play least out of my Classic Nintendo collection. It is a very repitive game. I know that the NES is not known for above-caliber games early on, and that there were many puzzle games. Trog, however, is just an imitation of Pac-Man with a dinosaur. |

The Castlevania Adventure review (GB)Reviewed on Date UnknownCastlevania Adventure was a game that was released early on in the Gamboys life. It showed its earlier heritage, but it actually is better than I expected. It has many frequent problems, and yet I do love this game like I love the series. It has the same Castlevania feel, and I believe that it does rightly belong next to the great names like Dracula's Curse, and Symphony of the Night. To some, Castlevania Adventure was the worst game in the series, and to me, it is definitely close (I do hate Si... |
