	Golden Sun review (GBA) Reviewed on October 28, 2004 Golden Sun should have been perfect. On the surface, this early Game Boy Advance role-playing game has everything a person could want. Huge dungeons with tons of brain-bending puzzles that bring back fond memories of Lufia II, vibrant towns and cities that truly seem alive and the ability to customize each of your characters how you see fit due to the innovative Djinn system.
	WarioWare: Twisted! review (GBA) Reviewed on October 25, 2004 Luckily enough however, the first sequel to last year's smash hit Made in Wario (aka Wario Ware Inc) isn't your average flogging of a dead horse. In fact if the truth be known, it's about as far from Nintendo's atypical money grabbing ideology as the phrase innovative gimmick could possibly allow. Serving up a fresh "spin" on the ever popular micro-game concept, Mawaru: Made in Wario is everything fans of the original could ever hope for, and just a wee bit more besides...
	CT Special Forces review (GBA) Reviewed on October 11, 2004 After emptying one of the over-abundant first aid kits, our hero realizes that there isn't a drop of action in his future, that all of his battles shall only amount to taking potshots with his puny pistol. As the hordes of boring, weak soldiers fall prey to these cowardly tactics, a thought edges its way into his mind: why the hell aren't I playing Metal Slug instead?
	Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors review (GBA) Reviewed on October 05, 2004 Why? Why for the love of all that is righteous in this world can’t there be a decent Dragonball Z game, or portable fighting game for that matter? That is probably what I continued to say to myself time and again, after I disgustedly played through one terrible title after another. The only reasonably decent Dragonball Z title that had come out would have to be the Budokai series, but even those were sub-par. For those that are out of the loop, Dragonball Z is a very popular anime series, based ...
	Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga review (GBA) Reviewed on September 27, 2004 What comes to mind when someone says "RPG"? Some may think of the good ol' days playing D&D, while others see colorful Final Fantasy worlds with chocobos, airships and enormous weapons. Still, the picture is generally the same: swords, magic and random battles are almost always an integral part of the role-playing genre, right?
	Advance Guardian Heroes review (GBA) Reviewed on September 26, 2004 Just don't let the other reviews dissuade you by constant talk of slowdown. It's hardly as omnipresent as they'd have you believe, even in the multiplayer modes. Advance Guardian Heroes is an essential part of any GBA library, whether you're a die-hard fan of the original or haven't even held a Saturn controller in your life.
	Spider-Man 2 review (GBA) Reviewed on September 02, 2004 The disappointing adventure is based loosely on the happenings from the hit movie. I say loosely, because the creators of the game saw fit to throw in a host of enemies and situations that have nothing to do with the film in a misguided attempt to give us 'more' than a simple movie play through. I can see the merit in providing us more than just Doctor Octopus as the lone boss character from the feature, and yet--it seems ultimately messy and unfocused to offer up The Lizard and Rhino (among others) as combatants for no good reason in the context of the story.
	Castlevania: Circle of the Moon review (GBA) Reviewed on September 01, 2004 If I were forced to come up with one flaw in Konami’s masterful Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for the Playstation, it would involve that game’s lack of difficulty. For a person who had nearly cried bloody tears after suffering his millionth death at the hands of Dracula, Death and pals in Castlevania III, the utter ease at which I was able to bully my way through C:SotN was a bit disconcerting.
	Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising review (GBA) Reviewed on August 22, 2004 "Now, I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country."
	Mega Man Battle Network review (GBA) Reviewed on August 19, 2004 Megaman has been in everything. His first games were platformers, but he eventually got himself a fighting game, a 3-D adventure game, and a freaking soccer game. But that wasn't enough for Capcom! In 2001, they created Megaman Battle Network, adding ''RPG'' to the blue bomber's repertoire of genres. What's next, a card battler? (What? They already did that?) Regardless of how many games this guy is in, MMBN is a solid game with a few flaws, but that shouldn't deter an RPG fan look...
	Sabre Wulf review (GBA) Reviewed on July 30, 2004 That game was announced way back in 2001 and is finally here after a long wait. After his adventure 15 years ago on Commodore 64, Sabreman is back to chase the Sabrewulf once again. This time, the wulf which was sealed away in a statue was freed by Dr. Doo-Little-Goode to achieve his evil plans. Now the country relies on Sabreman to restore peace once again and seal back the wulf. A bigger adventure awaits our hero this time.
	Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance review (GBA) Reviewed on July 28, 2004 The first video gaming system I owned was an Atari 2600. You could play ports of a vast majority of that time period’s most beloved arcade games on that classic system. Of course, since the Atari 2600 wasn’t the most powerful thing around, those ports weren’t exactly identical to the original. Graphics and sound were simplified as much possible and a decent number of things from the arcade game would be left on Atari’s cutting-room floor. Hell, that system couldn’t even include the fruit from th...
	Super Mario Advance review (GBA) Reviewed on July 09, 2004 Super Mario Advance, a dual Mario game, has crashed onto the fledgling Game Boy Advance system with a moderate amount of style. This cartridge contains two old ''classics'', Super Mario Bros. 2 and the absolutely ancient Mario Bros. These two games meld together to make a gaming experience that is at times endearing, but ultimately unfulfilling.
	Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone review (GBA) Reviewed on July 09, 2004 Yet another eerie hallway looms in front of you. You creep down it - ever so slowly - daring not to make a noise. Hideous gargoyles and grotesque oil paintings line the walls, making you wish you hadn’t left your invisibility cloak tucked away in the sock drawer. It’s quiet...too quiet. You can’t hear a thing above the frantic racing of your heartbeat, its rhythmic pounding even managing to drown out the chattering of your teeth. You extend a cold, clammy hand and grasp the doorknob in front of ...
	Animal Snap: Rescue Them 2 By 2 review (GBA) Reviewed on July 03, 2004 Animal Snap is a game that defies expectations. Sadly, the trust it most thoroughly trounces is your faith that game developers possess a bare minimum of competence.
	CIMA: The Enemy review (GBA) Reviewed on June 17, 2004 He lurks the hallway, with a silent breath that if heard could draw daggers. He has no fear of a dark death, having seen his master brutally murdered by his laughing nemesis, the would-be destroyer of his people. What he waits for, is what will allow him to keep his promise. His honor, his pride, his life, his friends are all at stake.
	Hot Potato! review (GBA) Reviewed on April 06, 2004 In Hot Potato, a group of however many players you want gathers in a circle, with the required equipment being: a small beanbag or ball or even an actual potato, some sort of musical recording and an appropriate playback device, and an impartial outsider. One usually finds this unbiased observer is a nursery school teacher, since most often the group of players is a nursery school class. The players proceed to pass, or throw -- you should decide at the outset what types of deliveries are permitt...
	Boulder Dash EX review (GBA) Reviewed on April 05, 2004 Though Boulder Dash is not the most famous franchise name in the video game universe, it actually has a long and boring history. Read on to find out more!
	Activision Anthology review (GBA) Reviewed on March 25, 2004 Rumors have been around for years about a ''portable system that plays Atari 2600 games.'' Being one whose favorite motto has always been ''I'll believe it when I see it,'' I never gave in to the rumors. Perhaps a portable 2600 was released somewhere, but never nationwide or I'd be one of the first to have my greedy little hands on it. I was one of the first to get my hands on Activision Anthology, a collection of 55 Atari 2600 titles that were all made by what may be the best company tha...
	Mega Man & Bass review (GBA) Reviewed on March 23, 2004 Though the levels themselves aren't much longer than areas encountered in Mega Man 4 and its like, the ease with which you traverse each environment has been radically altered for the worse. Bottomless pits fill almost every room, and spikes and giant enemies that swarm you at every opportunity. Even the simplest of enemies do terrible damage if they brush against you, and the cramped quarters mean that all of them are much harder to avoid than you might expect.
