    Phantasy Star IV review

    Phantasy Star 4, despite the fourth grade spelling job, is by far the greatest role playing game ever created for the Sega Genesis.

    Shining Force 2 is one of the best roleplaying games for the Genesis, in the upper echelon with the Phantasy Star games.

    Deja Vu I & II: The Casebooks of Ace Harding review

    The story is Deja Vu's strong point and the reason you'll keep playing. If you don't get into the story, then you'll have little reason to play the game.

    The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time review

    This was the game people had been waiting long long years for. In movie sense, it is Star Wars Episode One. However, with expectations this high, Zelda 64 was bound to disappoint some people, myself included.

    Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire review

    Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire tries to be a first person shooter, a dogfighting flight game, and to have a successful game based on the Star Wars license. On the first two claims there's noticable shortcomings, and on the third claim…

    Doom 64 review

    If there's a bad point about Doom, in some people's eyes, it's that the series remains largely unchanged. This game won't change their minds. However, if you have played a Doom game and enjoyed it, then give this one a shot. It's a pretty…

    Goldeneye 007 review

    When the Nintendo 64 struggled a bit after it's lightning fast start, some people started looking around for a savior. Thankfully, Goldeneye came along, and provided ultra-fast and fun first-person shooter (FPS) gameplay for the Nintendo…

    NBA Hangtime review

    One question pops into mind when playing this game - How can a game that was so fun, so fast, and so easy to play be turned into THIS hideous awful crap?

    Marvel vs. Capcom 2 review

    If you're even a remote fan of Marvel comic books, Capcom fighting games, or fighting games in general, then this game has something to offer to you.

    Grandia II review

    Grandia 2 benefits strongly from the lack of competition on the Dreamcast. It's just that simple. If Grandia 2 was on the Playstation, it would be dwarved by other, better role playing games.

    Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber review

    Ogre Battle 64 is one of the few reasons to buy a Nintendo 64. It's that good. If the system had more games like this, it might not have died a premature death against the Playstation.

    Myst review

    Unfortunately, Myst is like an empty Christmas present. It sure does look pretty on the outside, but the actual thing inside the box will let you down.

    Valkyrie Profile review

    If you prefer good gameplay to good storylines, or if those twits in Lunar and Final Fantasy talk too much for you, then Valkyrie Profile might be worth a try.

    Suikoden review

    In the world of console gaming, there's different kinds of role playing games. There's your small, close-knit casts seen in Final Fantasy games. There's the extended cast, seen in games such as Star Ocean 2. There's the large cast, seen in…

    Final Fantasy Tactics review

    Forget about all the other standard console role playing games, like Final Fantasy 7 or Chrono Cross. Or about the wargames such as Ogre Battle and Tactics Ogre. Final Fantasy Tactics backhands them in the face, insults their mothers, and…

    Dragon Warrior VII review

    Dragon Warrior 7 is a monstrosity. It is the first English installment of the Dragon Warrior series to be officially released in a long time. However, that does not mean that the series has progressed much. In an alarming development, the…

    Final Fantasy X review

    Final Fantasy X is a very good game. In fact, judged solely on gameplay and storyline, it's a great game. However, there's a lot of little things that continually add up to make Final Fantasy X somewhat lacking. In a series that is well…
