Pitfall II: Lost Caverns review (A2600)Reviewed on March 08, 2005The original Pitfall still stands as one of my favorite action/adventure games of all time, and definetly one of my favorite Atari 2600 games. So when I picked up a copy of Pitfall 2 at my local goodwill for ten cents, I expected the game to deliver the same fun and exciting gameplay that the original had. Did it? Sure, the game was fun and very challenging, but overall the game still stands as one of the best Atari 2600 games in the system's history. It may not be as good as the first, in my op... |

Keystone Kapers review (A2600)Reviewed on March 08, 2005The Atari 2600 has always been home to many classic games, including that darn Pitfall series. There were also some underrated games made for the system, including Solaris (best Atari 2600 game ever??) and Kaboom! And who could forget the immortal classics such as Pitfall, Pitfall 2, River Raid, and Adventure? There was also another underrated game that I enjoyed playing very very much, named Keystone Kapers. The gameplay was fast, fun, and furious, and became very addcitve quickly. It may not h... |

Ice Hockey review (A2600)Reviewed on March 08, 2005When it comes to sports, I have always been a big fan. I have enjoyed many sports over the years. However, I have never really been a huge hockey fan. Needless to say, I still played hockey and watched hockey on television from time to time. My all time favorite sports team (Pittsburgh Penguins) is a hockey team. But, I just have not gotten into the sport of hockey as much as I expected. |

Ms. Pac-Man review (ARC)Reviewed on March 08, 2005Ms. Pac Man has always been one of my favorite games, ever since I first played it in the Arcade some several years ago. Everything about the game was simply awesome for me. It was not the most complex game ever, sure, but it was damn fun to play, and isn't that all that really matters, anyways? This is one of my favorite arcade games of all time, and it is definitely better than Pac Man, at least in my opinion. |

The Simpsons review (ARC)Reviewed on March 08, 2005I have played a lot of arcade games over the years, and I have enjoyed a lot of them, ranging from fighting games like Marvel vs Capcom all the way down to side scrolling beat em ups like X-Men The Arcade Game. I remember I used to go to Chuck E Cheeses a lot a few years ago when I lived in Maryland, and there was one game I used to play a lot. The Simpsons. |

Wild Arms 3 review (PS2)Reviewed on March 07, 2005The Wild Arms series has traditionally been an overrated series in my eyes. No offense to the fans, but the 1st game was above-average, but nothing special. It was your typical jaunt through a RPG with a few interesting elements, but there was nothing terribly memorable about it that would make it one of the better RPGs of all time. Wild Arms 2 was a complete failure, as the developers tried to use a worse version of the battle system, along with a terrible storyline. Therefore, I didn't hold mu... |

Sonic Mega Collection Plus review (PS2)Reviewed on March 07, 2005Sega is the anti-Nintendo. Always have been and always will be. Back in the early 90's, Sega presented itself as the hip and cool console maker, while Nintendo was still aimed at little kiddies and "tradition". Now that Sega doesn't even have a console, they have an excuse to release older titles (unlike Nintendo, which just does it to make money). Of course, they are smart and decided to put a bunch of titles on one disc, unlike Nintendo which puts one game on one portable cartridge. If this wa... |

NCAA Football 2004 review (PS2)Reviewed on March 07, 2005I am a huge college football fan. It is one of my main passions, and when the season is around, I am into the sport big time. The most surprising part about this is, I never played a NCAA Football game until last year. Well, I did play NCAA 2K3 by Sega Sports, and while I loved it, it did have some basic flaws. I saw NCAA Football 2004 in a store one day, and saw that it had online play. Online play?!? You mean I can go online and play against other people from around the country? What an awesom... |

Arkanoid: Doh it Again review (SNES)Reviewed on March 07, 2005Over the years, I have managed to play a lot of video games. I have also found there to be certain patterns when it comes to the video game industry. One of these patterns is disappointment. A lot of games have disappointed me over the years, with the ''highlights'' of this syndrome being Legend of Dragoon and Zelda: Link's Awakening. Both of those games severely disappointed me to the point of no avail, because I expected a lot better from them then what I ended up getting. |

ActRaiser review (SNES)Reviewed on March 07, 2005Sometimes, a game comes along and totally surprises me. This game comes along every once in a while, but not as often as I would like. Some of the games that have fallen under this category include, but are not limited to, Blaster Master, Dragon Warrior 3, and, more recently, Tales of Destiny. One of the most memorable games I found that fell under this category was a game called Act Raiser. I remember it pretty fondly. |

Brave Fencer Musashi review (PSX)Reviewed on March 07, 2005My favorite video game company of all time is SquareSoft. Never in my life have I seen such a company that could focus on mainly one genre (RPG) for so long, then delve into other genres (Einhander as a shooter, Ehreigz as a fighting game) and succeed so wildly as a result. So when I heard of the cool Playstation game made by SquareSoft named Brave Fencer Mushashi, I made sure to pick up a copy of it as soon as possible. Hearing of the amazing gameplay elements, the game reminded me of Secret of... |

Amazon Trail review (PC)Reviewed on March 07, 2005We all grew up playing Oregon Trail on our little computers at school. It was a terrific game about a group of people that you lead from one end of the trail to another. So, of course, the game was so good, that the company had to make a bunch of ripoffs. Amazon Trail was one of these ripoffs, and I think it's safe to say I just didn't enjoy this game as much as Oregon Trail. This game is merely decent and is not even that good as a stand-alone game, due to bad graphics and a gameplay system tha... |

Barbie Game Girl review (GB)Reviewed on March 07, 2005Have you ever wanted to be a game girl? I know I have. When I was 6, I dressed up all of my Transformer dolls and made them date each other. I even built a fancy car out of legos for them to drive around in. It was loads of fun. As you can tell, I had a deprived childhood. It has always been my dream and destiny to be a game girl. My ex was one too, but that's a whole other issue. From the age of six, it has been MY choice. What does that have to do with this game or review? Absolutely nothing. ... |

Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle review (NES)Reviewed on March 07, 2005My mom does not like to play many video games, so when she does play one, it must be a very special game. So that would make Bugs Bunny's Crazy Castle a very special game. Because not only did my mom loved to play this game back in the days, but I still remember when she stayed up all night trying to get every password in the game. That will always mean a lot to me. Hell, even my sister plays this game sometimes, and she has played about 10 games in her entire lifetime! |

Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout review (NES)Reviewed on March 07, 2005People have seem to developed some sort of hatred for an old NES game called Bugs Bunny Birthay Blowout. Unaware to the reasons why, I decided recently to pull out a copy of the game to see if it was really that horrible. After all, I distinctly remember enjoying the game a lot as a child. It certainly was never one of my favorites, but it made for some decent fun, especially when I was bored out of my mind. |

Bubble Bobble review (NES)Reviewed on March 07, 2005Bubble Bobble is a very fun and entertaining game released by Taito way back in 1989. It spawned several sequels, including Rainbow Islands. This was one of those games (along with TMNT 2 and Adventure Island) that took up most of my spare time back in the early 90's. Back then, I loved this game, and even thought the game has lost some of its appeal, I still find it enjoyable and play it every once in a while. |

Bionic Commando review (NES)Reviewed on March 07, 2005Wow, what an innovative game. Bionic Commando, released as a sequel to Commando way back in the early '90's, is a lot different, and a lot better than its predeccesor. Commando was basically a vertically scrolling shooter like Ikari Warriors. Bionic Commando is a horizontally scrolling action/adventure game where non-linear game play reigns. And even the game play is a lot different, because Bionic Commando may be the only game in the genre for NES where you are unable to jump!! Heck, it may be ... |

Baseball Stars II: Be A Champ! review (NES)Reviewed on March 07, 2005have never understood the relative dislike of the sequel to the awesome Baseball Stars. Even EGM got in on the action, calling Baseball Stars one of the best 100 games of all time, then dissing on the sequel a little. I loved the original Baseball Stars, but this game is simply just as good. The only complaint I really have is that it's not too much different than the original. The integral gameplay has stayed the same, as the game basically looks the same. The game got some statistical and oth... |

Baseball review (NES)Reviewed on March 07, 2005When Nintendo first released the NES (the single most important event in the history of the universe), they decided to produce a bunch of sports games, with a quality that has never been seen before. If you're talking low quality, that is. While Soccer and Tennis were surprisingly good games, games like Golf and 10 Yard Fight represented the complete opposite end of the spectrum. But one game took the cake as being perhaps the worst sports game released on NES. Yes, it may just be worse than Maj... |
