	Icewind Dale review (PC) Reviewed on March 21, 2008 I loved the RPG games made by Black Isle.
	Final Fantasy VIII review (PSX) Reviewed on March 21, 2008 Final Fantasy VIII is a game that has sparked a large amount of controversy. From those that consider it the sparkling pinnacle of the established series, to those that loathe it intently, it is clear that a game of this ilk must have some strong characteristics at the heart of it.
	PaRappa the Rapper review (PSX) Reviewed on March 21, 2008 So just imagine being back in the year is 1995, when you’ve just seen the PlayStation in action hot off the production line, and seen the likes Ridge Racer in action. You probably imagined how the wonders of 3D could translate into all your favourite genres, such as shooting, realistic sports and maybe action games, all later to become cookie-cutter genres on the format. At what point would you have imagined playing a game involving a 2D hip-hop rapping dog, who tries to impress a sunflower face...
	Lost Odyssey review (X360) Reviewed on March 20, 2008 The endless flow of time is a harsh master to us all. Its relentless nature makes every second of life precious because, ultimately, every second that goes by takes us closer to death. So imagine if you weren't constrained by this eternal force. Imagine if you were blessed with a life that never ends. Free you may be from the limits of mortality, but truly, is the gift of eternal life a blessing or a curse? Lost Odyssey tells the tale of such a man, the tale of Kaim Argonar and his quest to rega...
	Lost: Via Domus review (PC) Reviewed on March 18, 2008 Lost is without a doubt my favorite television show. It's one of the only shows that I make sure to watch weekly, so when Ubisoft revealed that they were developing a game based on the series, I was instantly intrigued. Details were scarce, but I followed the game to release with unbridled excitement and anticipation. I try not to let myself get too caught up in my own expectations, but I was willing to make exceptions because it was Lost after all.
	God of War: Chains of Olympus review (PSP) Reviewed on March 18, 2008 Chains of Olympus is a handheld version of the PS2 God of War games. But don’t be fooled: it wants desperately to not be a handheld game. In the transition from DVD9 to a 1.8GB UMD, nothing has been lost as far as gameplay is concerned. Content? Replay value? That’s another story. But as a technical achievement, you’d be hard-pressed to find any handheld game with production values this high. All of the over-the-top action of the PS2 games is here, as is their superb visuals and orchestral sound...
	Baten Kaitos Origins review (GCN) Reviewed on March 16, 2008 Baten Kaitos Origins takes place two decades before the events of Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean. As such, it features a whole new cast of main characters. Sagi is the sympathetic orphan, striking out to support his adoptive family. Guillo is his lifelong companion, a mysterious puppet with two timbres of voice and gaudy fashion sense; it tromps around in high heals. Milliarde is an aristocrat who cannot bear to see the feeble punished, and in her estimation, Sa...
	Popful Mail review (SCD) Reviewed on March 15, 2008 “Eat this, cookie face!”
	Super Smash Bros. Brawl review (WII) Reviewed on March 15, 2008 You need to be a Nintendo fan to enjoy Smash Bros. The entire appeal is playing as all those characters from your childhood you’re nostalgic for. I’ve tried playing Brawl with people who’d never played Zelda or Metroid or Kirby, and all I got was a bunch of bored shrugs. But if you have three friends who are interested, the offline multiplayer is some of the most fun you’ll ever have with a fighting game. Notice how I stress “offline multiplayer”, as the single-player game is dull, and the much-...
	Star Control 3 review (PC) Reviewed on March 15, 2008 In a Bargain Bin somewhere I cannot remember, a copy of 'Star Control 3' was sitting idly. The box looked nice and the price was cheap, so I bought it even though I had never heard of it.
	Yu-Gi-Oh! Worldwide Edition: Stairway to the Destined Duel review (GBA) Reviewed on March 13, 2008 Yu-Gi-Oh; a Japanese card game that became popular across the globe, had a hit anime TV series and has had various games based on it now makes its way onto the GBA. Stairway to the Destined Duel keeps faithful to the card game and requires you to duke it out against various opponents with cards that have pictures of monsters on them. While the game will keep the hardcore Yu-Gi-Oh fan happy, it will do little to entertain those who have never played the card game before.
	Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure review (GBA) Reviewed on March 13, 2008 Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure is Crash's debut on a handheld console and it's a great start. The game keeps to the tried and tested, but highly successful method, of basic platforming mixed in with addictive gameplay, and a ton of collectables. Throughout the game you will see familiar faces and the great level design that made the series stand out from the rest.
	Shinobi Legions review (SAT) Reviewed on March 12, 2008 Shinobi III was an awesome ninja game, most likely the best ninja game of the 90s. You had a really flexible ninja, which made attacking your enemies easy once you master his moves. Though, that didn't mean the game itself was gonna be a breeze to go through. You were attacked by ninjas, soldiers, kite ninjas, evil brains, ninjas on hovercrafts, robots, ninjas with wings, a giant, mutated freak, and, of course, Mechagodzilla. It was a really fun title that took you all over the place, from a sim...
	Growl review (GEN) Reviewed on March 09, 2008 I'm sure it's not the case with everyone, but my experience with games made by Taito has not been very good. Well, at least my experience with their Genesis games.
	The Great Waldo Search review (GEN) Reviewed on March 07, 2008 I played this game for one reason only: because I wanted to review something. This was the first time I actually tried to play The Great Waldo Search, the previous two times I wasn't even trying and was a bit confused. However, with the thought of writing a review of the game this time around, I kind of tried to understand what was going on. Of course, we all know the premise of Waldo: you have to find this stupid-looking idiot within a giant, detailed map filled with oddball characters. ...
	The World Ends with You review (DS) Reviewed on March 07, 2008 It’s hot out today. The sun is baking the pavement, turning the downtown asphalt into a stove. That doesn’t deter the people, however. The Shibuya shopping district is never slowed down by weather. Hundreds of sightseers are lounging in their chairs, wolfing down their fast food as they plan their next stop. Children and parents wander up and down the streets, gazing longingly into the store windows they pass. Others are meandering through the crowd, lost in whatever thoughts or problems they mi...
	Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney review (DS) Reviewed on March 05, 2008 Apollo Justice is exactly like the Phoenix Wright games. The formula has been beaten to death at this point; what was fresh and original in the first game is feeling awfully worn-out now. Despite being the first game in the series developed with the DS in mind, and getting a new main character, almost nothing has changed for better or worse. None of the nagging flaws from the previous Ace Attorneys have been addressed, which is very annoying, considering the developers have had three sequels wit...
	Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix review (DS) Reviewed on March 03, 2008 Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix marks the fifth title in the series of games EA has produced for the movies. In so doing, it reaches a number of sequels that goes unrivaled by almost everyone who is not Megaman. Thankfully, EA usually manages to change the series gameplay with each release, meaning they have hits and misses across all platforms. Unfortunately in the case of the recent DS title, it's a miss.
	Soldier Blade review (TG16) Reviewed on March 02, 2008 If you own a Wii and you've caroused the selection of titles available on the Virtual Console, you might have noticed something about the Turbografx-16: nearly every game is a shooter. If you didn't already know that, then chances are you haven't had much experience with the genre. The people that play shooters generally know the field very well, and as such most games in this category are specifically targeted at a very small audience. Games like Ikaruga and Gradius V were not...
	Poker Smash review (X360) Reviewed on March 02, 2008 Everyone loves poker - the bluffing, that chance of getting a great hand, going all in, the waiting? Imagine throwing that all out of the window yet in a backward sense sticking to what makes it great. Poker Smash is a puzzle game for the Xbox Live Arca- wait, before you stop reading and are convinced this is just another port of an internet puzzle game, then you are in for a surprise. Where were we? Ah yes, Poker Smash by Void Star Creations is a puzzle game akin to Planet Puzzle League, but wi...
