	Super Mario Land review (GB) Reviewed on November 02, 2006 Take Super Mario Bros. Cut the game's 32 levels down to 12. Make two of those levels auto-scrolling shoot-'em-ups. Add in unique (but unremarkable) boss battles at the end of each world. Finally, make the whole game black-and-pea-soup-green. There's Super Mario Land.
	The King of Fighters 2006 review (PS2) Reviewed on October 28, 2006 As the sun rises over the slums of Southtown, Alba and Soiree Meira prepare for battle. It’s been a while since the brothers wrested control of the city’s underworld away from Duke, a demonic thug and former crime lord. Despite the drastic regime change, old habits die hard. To keep up the tradition of Southtown’s brutal and bloody history, the dynamic duo has let the yearly King of Fighters tournament begin anew. Fighters from all over have come to kick some ass, including seasoned veterans lik...
	Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team review (DS) Reviewed on October 28, 2006 This game is like sour candy. It tastes really caustic and makes your lips pucker, but you enjoy it anyway. You don't really know why; it just tastes good.
	Shadow of the Colossus review (PS2) Reviewed on October 23, 2006 As the sun slowly drifts through the midmorning sky, a young traveler named Wander looks toward the horizon. A vast land is spread out before him, a sprawling countryside rimmed with rocky mountains and lush forests, scarred with deep canyons and ridges, and decorated with the ruins of a civilization of a bygone era. Despite the beauty, Wander is focused on only one thing: the massive temple in the very center of the land. With a quick tug of the reins and a swat of the flat of his sword, he urg...
	Pokemon Red review (GB) Reviewed on October 18, 2006 The Hype (Don’t believe)
	Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime review (DS) Reviewed on October 17, 2006 The town of Boinsburg is under attack! Giant metal balls are destroying the buildings and every slime except for Rocket has been captured in treasure chests. The Plob has taken over Slimenia and is trying to get rid of slimes all together. How can you save your slimey friends?
	Out of This World review (SNES) Reviewed on October 17, 2006 If you haven’t heard of Out of this World, then clearly you know very little about games.
	Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney review (DS) Reviewed on October 16, 2006 Throw out every rule and procedure of the criminal justice system. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is a clever DS graphic adventure that forgoes the tedium of writs, motions, and the chain of evidence in favor of timely investigations and more expedient trials. Proceedings here are limited to three days, juries are nonexistent, and the accused is always presumed guilty. All that stands along a defendant’s path to a life sentence are a bloodthirsty prosecutor, an addlebrained judge, a handf...
	Mega Man review (NES) Reviewed on October 15, 2006 First in a legendary series, multiple great concepts, spawned some of the best action platformers ever, blah blah blah. Who cares? Yes, this is the first game in a series that is almost as synonymous with the NES as Mario and Zelda. Yes it may have been revolutionary in its time. But this is 2006, not 1987, and there are a grand total of six NES Mega Man games to choose from. And so how does this one stack up against the others? To be blunt, it doesn't. At all.
	Sensei 2 review (PC) Reviewed on October 12, 2006 How’s this for a defining moment? Shuichi Nakayama stands face to face with a crushed woman. She’s been horribly victimized throughout her life, a fact that he has parlayed into a variety of racy but lifeless sexual acts. To thaw her frozen exterior, he needs a powerful hook. And he finds it in her elementary-aged daughter, who has fallen into the sights of a pedophile. Shuichi can save her. If you force him to help out of whatever goodness is left in his heart, then his reward is the same...
	Dungeons and Dragons Online: Stormreach review (PC) Reviewed on October 12, 2006 It has been a little over seven months since the relase of Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach and during that time, there has been quite a few updates. But, on to the show and on to what you want to know.
	Children of Mana review (DS) Reviewed on October 08, 2006 So, I just finished my first of two imports for my DS. The name of the game, as you should know, is Children of Mana. I'm not one for introductions most of the time, so let's just cut to the actual review.
	Night Slashers review (ARC) Reviewed on October 06, 2006 I’m a beat-‘em-up enthusiast.
	NBA 2K7 review (PS2) Reviewed on October 06, 2006 Yes, NBA 2K7 looks eerily similar to the previous game. That's the biggest thing that critics have about this game. We all know that the Xbox 360 version of this game is much prettier and has more features than us PS2 owners can ever imagine. However, the PS2 version still has a lot to offer. There are new additions and improvements that you can never tell unless you pick up the game. Although its face is the same, the game has matured into something smoother and better, and I'm here to c...
	MechAssault: Phantom War review (DS) Reviewed on October 01, 2006 Welcome to the 32nd century. Mankind has developed new technology, allowing them to delve deep into the vast emptiness of space. Many of the planets are brimming with civilization, including an interstellar communication system with gigantic satellite dishes. However, such advancements don’t stop people from being power-hungry warmongers. In a bid for the dominance of the cosmos, nations have raised their own armies of elite mech pilots and trained them to become Mechwarriors. Tons of battles an...
	Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 review (PC) Reviewed on September 30, 2006 A lot of advertisements for games emphasize team-based combat. In countless games, you are supposed to be able to command an elite squad of soldiers who will execute your every command flawlessly and respond as adeptly as a human would. Typically, first-person shooters brag about this high level of team unity, but most of the time, they fail terribly at living up to their promise. The AI just isn’t smart enough, or the programming just wasn’t good enough, or the feature just wasn’t worth using. ...
	Phantom Brave review (PS2) Reviewed on September 30, 2006 Phantom Brave follows the Nippon Ichi tradition for strategy RPGs with a twist - or a dozen twists, as it happens. The basics of the genre are recognizable - characters walking across a map, turn based, to kill their enemies with a variety of regular attacks and special skills - but that's about where all the usual expectations go out the window. This formula worked out great for Disgaea and to an extent, it still does; but at a couple of points, the game comes off as too experimental for its ow...
	NCAA Football 07 review (PS2) Reviewed on September 28, 2006 First impression: lost and intimidated. In NCAA Football 07, every control performs some kind of special juke, spin, or stiff arm. One button launches a player into a forward dive; another accelerates him to a sprint. There are so many options, and you’ll feel the need to execute all of them at once. Adding to the indecision, there’s hundreds of offensive and defensive plays spread over dozens of formations. The complexity of EA’s collegiate pigskin franchise should make any casual g...
	Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time review (GCN) Reviewed on September 26, 2006 “...but I have seen the face of time, and I can tell you. They are wrong.”
	Guerilla War review (NES) Reviewed on September 26, 2006 I won't pretend Guerrilla War is a very innovative game, because it's pretty much as derivative as it gets. There are no fancy gameplay mechanics on display here; this is the epitome of grab-a-weapon-shoot-some-baddies game design. But it's well-executed, it gets your adrenaline pumping, and that's enough to recommend the game. As far as run 'n' guns go, and especially as overhead ones go, Guerrilla War has no real competition on the NES. This is the best the system has to offer for pure twitch ...
