	Quest: Brian's Journey review (GBC) Reviewed on November 04, 2015 A scaled-down remake of a bad game? 'I'm shocked I didn't love it,' I say sarcastically.
	The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX review (GBC) Reviewed on June 03, 2014 Link explores a new world that is suspiciously similar to the one he usually roams. I'm not complaining.
	Magi Nation review (GBC) Reviewed on April 13, 2013 Magi-Nation is a fine example of western RPG developers floundering for success in the RPG genre in the early 21st century
	Lufia: The Legend Returns review (GBC) Reviewed on March 24, 2011 Anyhow, not only is the Ancient Cave back in this game, but with twice the number of floors (because, you know, measly 100-floor dungeons are for wimps) AND every single dungeon in the game takes its cue from this place. Yes, they all are multi-floor extravaganzas where everything seems randomly created. This makes things boring. You have no puzzles (unless you consider "striking things on walls to see if that opens up a corridor" to be one) or anything to detract from the tedium. All you do is walk through each floor, avoiding traps, killing monsters and collecting treasures...and then do the same on the next floor and the next until you've completed the dungeon. Then you go to the next town, find out about the next dungeon and do the same there.
	WWF: Betrayal review (GBC) Reviewed on January 16, 2011 Just what I wanted: a WWE game where you wrestle the backstage crew.
	Powerpuff Girls: Battle Him review (GBC) Reviewed on December 04, 2010 Most savvy gamers will know by looking at Powerpuff Girls: Battle Him what the game entails: tedious gameplay, dry combat, incessant collecting, and a lackluster fun factor. It's not bias that causes this, but experience. Many of us have played too many awful license titles for handheld systems, and know a bad purchase when we see one. It should be no surprise that combining all aforementioned factors nets you one shallow game.
	Revelations: The Demon Slayer review (GBC) Reviewed on November 13, 2009 Take SMT: Nocturne for example: in this game, you're alone. Without your monstrous allies, you'll be quickly overwhelmed. Here, it doesn't take long to gain one HUMAN ally and a second joins shortly after that. The monsters are more of a novelty than a necessity, as I never really needed their help to do anything in this game. And with many of them being more along the lines of "typical RPG beastie" than "SUPER-AWESOME GOD OF THUNDER", I didn't miss their presence.
	Billy Bob's Huntin' and Fishin' review (GBC) Reviewed on July 23, 2009 There are a lot of games on the Game Boy. As a general rule of thumb, those of us with some sense in our heads tend to shy away from anything with the words "Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen," "Nickelodeon," "Disney" or "port of the thrilling arcade classic!" on the box. Thankfully, this isn't hard, as, despite what the "professionals" may tell us whilst wiping the self-congratulatory jism dribbling out the corner of their mouths, there really aren't that many of those games out there.
	Megami Tensei Gaiden: Last Bible II review (GBC) Reviewed on July 21, 2009 This is one of those Japanese RPGs that defines the term "under the radar", but hopefully a new (fan) translation will change all that. It was first released in 1993 on the Gameboy and ported to the GBC in 1999, but with few changes, besides the improved colours. Initially there is nothing much of note, just nondescript towns and townspeople, a world map that uses cones for mountains and blue squares to represent towns, and dungeons that are short and mostly uninspired in design. However, if you...
	Resident Evil Gaiden review (GBC) Reviewed on April 04, 2009 Saturday
	Daikatana review (GBC) Reviewed on December 24, 2008 Due to fancy time/space manipulation, Hiro has his own Daikatana, but his version of the sword has no magic power. Fortunately, for a villain, Kage is remarkably helpful and repeatedly decides to assert his power over your group by teleporting them to various time periods — where Hiro can get his sword powered up by helping the right folk. Why doesn't Kage just use his power to kill Hiro and end his pitiful rebellion? Well, due to the laws of physics or some other hogwash, if two versions of the Daikatana collide, everything goes boom due to creating a paradox or whatever.
	X-Men: Mutant Academy review (GBC) Reviewed on July 12, 2008 Button mashing will see you through every battle, even at the highest difficulty. There’s no real system of commands that demand mastering. Just back your enemy to the end of the screen and wail away. They’ll be caught in a trap of constant abuse in which they can scarcely land a hit, one in which escape is impossible save for jumping. But they’re often too stupid for that.
	The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons review (GBC) Reviewed on June 09, 2008 Take Dodongo, for example. To defeat this chap, you first have to use the tried and true strategy of feeding him bombs. Then, after he's stunned by the explosion, using the power bracelet, you must pick him up and toss him onto a bed of spikes before he regains his equilibrium.
