	Neutopia review (TG16) Reviewed on October 29, 2010 The Triforce doens't stand for this.
	Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold review (PC) Reviewed on October 24, 2010 Wolfenstein - Nazi + Aliens and overweight security guards = Blake Stone
	The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return review (WII) Reviewed on October 24, 2010 There's a lot of whys when reacting to this particular release: Why not include the first game? Why these specific titles? Why the absurdly long name? Well, I'm guessing they simply used the Xbox versions, modified them a bit, and slapped them on a Wii disc. That would explain a whole lot... but since I've never touched the Xbox port, I could be waaaaaay off. As for the name, well, the name is just stupid, no matter how you spin it.
	Sonic Adventure review (X360) Reviewed on October 22, 2010 As a front-runner in Sega’s Dreamcast launch lineup, it’s only reasonable that Sonic Adventure would be the first Dreamcast game that Sega would port to Xbox Live Arcade. Serving as something of a tech demo for the fledgling console, the visuals stood above any game on competing consoles at the time. There’s definitely a sense of nostalgia that comes with running frantically down a pier while a killer whale gives chase in the Emerald Coast, or playing a game of NiGHTS Into Dreams pinball in the ...
	Domino Man review (ARC) Reviewed on October 20, 2010 The heck with Jumpman fighting Donkey Kong for a woman--I'll take Domino Man's balding, emotional protagonist fighting society for his art. All the poor guy wants to do is build up domino chains in a city block, a golf course, and a construction zone, but the people and animals around keep knocking down his work. A frumpy washerwoman, a drunk on a golf cart, various construction workers--and time itself, in the form of a clock that walks, err, clockwise around the screen--conspire to keep...
	Hook review (ARC) Reviewed on October 18, 2010 Licenses you never thought would be turned into brawlers, volume 1...
	Contra: Hard Corps review (GEN) Reviewed on October 17, 2010 "Restore order!"
	Super Basketball review (ARC) Reviewed on October 15, 2010 Few early video games had a story, but Super Basketball musters half of one: win a series of increasingly improbable sixty-second comebacks against a junior high team (78-70) up to the world champions (114-70.) It's more keep-away or Capture the Flag, and that's probably kept it fresh while more realistic early attempts at basketball have gone flat. It's even better now with emulation, which bypasses the annoying controls so you can enjoy the absurdity.
	10-Yard Fight review (ARC) Reviewed on October 15, 2010 Before machines had all this power to make football realistic and fast, designers had to choose the most exciting bits to cram into 200K. The game 10 Yard Fight focuses on a one-minute drill. Kickoffs take no time, first downs regain time, and interceptions push the offense twenty yards back. If you score a touchdown, the computer kicks the ball farther next time, and you start with less time against a quicker, more aggressive defense. With your runner near the bottom in the semi-overhead...
	Basketball review (A2600) Reviewed on October 14, 2010 Shoot some hoops with me, bro.
	Softball Tengoku review (NES) Reviewed on October 07, 2010 At the risk of sounding cliché, Softball Heaven (or Softball Tengoku) might say everything you need to know about the 8-bit import in the title. Now, I can’t personally imagine what a Softball Hell might be like, but I’m sure its got nothing on this gem.
	The Hunt for Red October review (NES) Reviewed on October 04, 2010 Before Rainbow Six, Tom Clancy's name was associated with another video game. I wouldn't be surprised if he disowned it...
	Sonic and the Secret Rings review (WII) Reviewed on October 04, 2010 Sonic and the Secret Rings is the console successor to Sonic 06. That's rough. However, you'd think Sonic Team learned from their experience with that mess of a product and strove to improve with the follow-up, reassuring the gaming public that 06 was a freak accident.
	Neuromancer review (APP2) Reviewed on October 03, 2010 It's too late to write a game about how wonderful the Internet might be. Few actually tried beforehand, but at least Interplay's Neuromancer did it right. Set in decaying, crime-ridden Chiba City in Japan, Neuromancer is part RPG, part adventure game and full of odd characters equally likely to give you information or insult you. It's got public terminals where you can read BBS email or even enter Cyberspace, a weird gridlike world where you can crack databases with the right softw...
	Flotilla review (PC) Reviewed on October 03, 2010 I bet you think it's all fun and games, captaining a space ship. I bet to you it's bucketloads of adventure and alien girls and space monsters and cyborgs, and all the other stuff Star Trek says? Well let me tell you something, flatlander; Star Trek has it wrong.
	Saira review (PC) Reviewed on October 03, 2010 Nifflas makes a very specific kind of game. You can generally pick them out at a glance, it's the kind of game you can sum up in a single sentence.
	Kaizou Chounin Shubibinman 3: Ikai no Princess review (TGCD) Reviewed on October 03, 2010 It's just another day in modern Tokyo. A cute schoolgirl (or schoolboy, if you're so inclined to choose) is walking down a metallic pathway, when suddenly, robotic ape/lizard hybrids leap from nowhere, only to be slashed in twain with your sword that leaves a shower of sparkles in its wake. Reinforcements come in from all sides as you continue to press your way to the right. A large humanoid robot attacks, its lanky limbs forcing you to keep your distance. You hold your attack button, and after ...
	Robot Odyssey review (APP2) Reviewed on October 02, 2010 People made good money off long multiple choice tests disguised as educational software back in the Apple II's heyday. It took a while for kids to get over playing a computer to realize it was just a quiz. Some games went beyond. Oregon Trail taught the dangers of fording a twelve-foot river and the wisdom of resting if you have dysentery. Number Munchers helped speed up your mental arithmetic. I found Type Attack, a Space Invaders clone that taught the QWERTY keyboard, more useful than e...
	Crime Crackers review (PSX) Reviewed on October 02, 2010 If there is one thing the classic FPS title Doom did not need it was a bunch of numbers, but evidently someone in Japan thought differently. Import-only PlayStation launch title Crime Crackers is essentially a ‘Doom RPG’ full of first-person shooting, mazes, keys, and a bunch of stats. It sounds like a mildly interesting combination except it’s been ruined by poor level design and gimped shooting mechanics.
	Katamari Forever review (PS3) Reviewed on October 02, 2010 One day, the King of the Universe is out in the Nebulae playing with his son, the Prince. The Prince can jump pretty far, but he's no match for the King just yet. In fact, the King can jump as high as he likes, and he does, just to show the Prince how it's done - but disaster strikes! He's hit in the head by a meteor.
