	Mobile Suit Gundam Seed: Battle Assault review (GBA) Reviewed on May 26, 2007 Gundam. For anime fans, that name should conjure up images of massive robots decked out with laser cannons and energy blades. Since its inception in 1979, the franchise has spawned multiple series featuring these hulking mechs and lives of their pilots. Gundam SEED follows in the tradition of its predecessors by portraying an ongoing struggle between the Earth’s military alliance and ZAFT, a group comprised of the united space colonies. This series focuses more on the issues of genetic en...
	Final Fantasy Tactics Advance review (GBA) Reviewed on May 26, 2007 Marche Radiuju has a problem. As the new kid in St. Ivalice, he is both shy and withdrawn from his fellow classmates. Instead of experiencing his childhood, he spends his time caring for his younger brother Doned, whose crippling illness has left him stuck in a wheelchair. Then there’s Marche’s friend Ritz, who is utterly insecure over her appearance (because having weird hair is so much worse than being handicapped for life). Lastly, there’s Mewt, a wimpy bully magnet with an alcoholic f...
	Metal Slug 3 review (XBX) Reviewed on May 26, 2007 Marco Rossi. Tarma Roving. Eri Kasamoto. Fio Germi.
	Skies of Arcadia review (DC) Reviewed on May 25, 2007 Like Ivana Trump, Skies of Arcadia really does have it all. If it were appropriate to give Christmas presents to games, I'd have a mightily hard time trying to pick something out for this one. From the epic storyline to the orchestrated music, the beautiful, huge world just waiting to be explored and the myriad of side quests and bonuses that add to the playing experience, Skies of Arcadia is un underground classic for good reason. This is one of the few relatively recently released games that h...
	Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga review (PS2) Reviewed on May 24, 2007 The Shin Megami Tensei series isn't all that well known to the mainstream gamers of the United States or any other country outside of Japan. Infact, if you were to ask anyone to name one RPG franchise, the most likely response you would get would be "Final Fantasy". While no one can deny that the Final Fantasy series is one of the most popular RPG franchises, if not the most popular, the Shin Megami Tensei can hold its own in a conversation with Final Fantasy in it. To be honest, I had never eve...
	Blue Lightning review (JCD) Reviewed on May 24, 2007 Recently I joined a very elite club: the group of Atari Jaguar CD owners. The Jag CD add-on was released very late in the Jaguar's brief lifespan, so there were relatively few titles released for it. Apparently only 20,000 CD units were manufactured, but those people who did buy one new received four pack-in discs: a music-only CD of Tempest 2000's 'soundtrack', a brief demo of Myst, the music/puzzle game Vid Grid, and Blue Lightning.
	Pokémon Pearl Version review (DS) Reviewed on May 24, 2007 These games were overall really good. The style of game changed completely resulting in a better game than the eleven before. The graphics have changed, the look of the characters have changed, more pokemon have been added, the overall goal that you need to accomplish right away has completely changed, and most of the options that used to take forever to do, have been sped up by the use of the stylus.
	Val D'Isere Skiing and Snowboarding review (JAG) Reviewed on May 24, 2007 The Atari Jaguar has several racing games available: among them are Atari Karts, Power Drive Rally, Super Burnout, and of course the infamous Checkered Flag. But I would argue that the best racing game, and one of my favorite games for the Jaguar, is one that might surprise you: Val d'Isere Skiing and Snowboarding.
	Syndicate review (JAG) Reviewed on May 24, 2007 In the early 1990s the British developer Bullfrog created some very popular simulation games such as 'Populous' and 'Theme Park'. In these games you assume the role of an omnipotent being who overlooks a world. While looking down upon this world's map, you can control various actions of small beings wandering around.
	SpaceWar 2000 review (JAG) Reviewed on May 24, 2007 A few years ago the folks at B&C Computers (www.myatari.com) discovered a prototype ROM for an unreleased Atari Jaguar game. The game is SpaceWar 2000; B&C have produced a limited number of copies of this cart.
	SkyHammer review (JAG) Reviewed on May 24, 2007 In Skyhammer, you’re a hired mercenary pilot flying a helicopter-like aircraft in a futuristic "Blade Runner" city, shooting enemy tanks, other aircraft and picking up valuable packages. You have a cockpit view of the city as you hunt down your enemies and dock at the Cyber Mart for repairs. As you destroy your enemies and complete missions you can earn credits for purchasing more supplies at the Cyber Mart.
	Ruiner Pinball review (JAG) Reviewed on May 24, 2007 There used to be a time when pinball machines were common, and one could find them in arcades, laundromats, and corner stores. You'd plunk a quarter into the big upright box, pull back on the plunger, and slap those flipper buttons to shoot the metal ball around the tableful of bumpers, chutes, and targets. The appeal was both visual and physical as you tried to get the metal ball to smack into targets with a noisy thunk. For years now, developers have tried to recreate the experience of a pin...
	Protector review (JAG) Reviewed on May 24, 2007 Please note this is a review of the original release of Protector, and not the more recent Protector Special Edition.
	Trevor McFur in the Crescent Galaxy review (JAG) Reviewed on May 24, 2007 When the Atari Jaguar was first released in November 1993, there were a measly two games available at launch: the pack-in of Cybermorph, and also a 2D shooter called "Trevor McFur in the Crescent Galaxy". Trevor McFur is a game in the style of most horizontal-scrolling shooters such as Gradius, R-Type, or the arcade classic Scramble. As the background slowly scrolls past (and as is typical, from right to left), you maneuver a fighter-craft with the D-pad. You can use the controller buttons to fi...
	Missile Command 3D review (JAG) Reviewed on May 24, 2007 Missile Command 3D is really three games in one cart. One is a reasonably close replica of the original arcade version: an enemy has launched nuclear missiles at your cities on the bottom of the screen. As the missile contrails streak down the screen, you move a pointer to aim interceptor missiles at the incoming enemy weapons.
	Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story review (JAG) Reviewed on May 24, 2007 Do you remember that Bruce Lee game for the Atari 8-bit computers? That was a great game, man! Hey, do you like 2D streetfighter-style games? Yeah? Well, imagine if you made a videogame about a real-life fighter. How about if that fighter was one of the greatest martial arts masters in modern times? And how about if he was Bruce freaking Lee? Man, you'd think that have to be a pretty damn good game. Oh, but wait, this is for the Atari Jaguar...
	Checkered Flag review (JAG) Reviewed on May 24, 2007 One of the favorite genres of many videogame players is auto racing. Just like many other folks I enjoy racing games, and when I first read that Rebellion, the creators of the two fantastic games Alien vs. Predator and Skyhammer, had also made a racing game for the Jaguar, I guessed that it would have to be good - but as I researched further I learned that Checkered Flag has a reputation as one of the worst games for the Jaguar. C’mon, did Rebellion really create a lemon?
	Brutal Sports Football review (JAG) Reviewed on May 24, 2007 I don't enjoy most team sports games; they usually seem pretty boring to me. Something like Madden will put me to sleep faster than a bottle of Nyquil. However, there's one such game for the Jaguar that I can recommend to even the non-sports fans: Brutal Sports Football. I once tried BSF a few years ago and decided that I didn't like it, but recently I decided to give it one more try. This time I decided to spend some time trying to learn the controls and beat the computer. After giving the game...
	Breakout 2000 review (JAG) Reviewed on May 24, 2007 Remember the classic old video game BREAKOUT? You move a Pong-like paddle left and right, bouncing a ball off a wall of bricks, destroying one brick at a time as the bounces and returns in your direction. In the late 90s the company Telegames released an updated 3D version called BREAKOUT 2000 for the 64-bit Atari Jaguar console.
	Atari Karts review (JAG) Reviewed on May 24, 2007 One of the rarest cartridge games produced for the Atari Jaguar is "Atari Karts". It was released near the end of the Jaguar's lifespan, and never had a chance to sell in substantial numbers while Atari was still ‘alive’. Atari Kart has always been in demand, and so even now it still costs plenty: the typical selling price for a complete boxed game is often $50 US or more. Some vendors still have new copies in stock, but those generally cost $70 plus. Wow! $70 seems like a heck of a lot to ...
