	Virgin Roster ~Shukketsubo~ review (PC) Reviewed on February 25, 2005 You’re a loathsome son of a bitch who violently rapes innocent schoolgirls and faculty to satiate your hideous urges.
	Inuyasha: A Feudal Tale review (PSX) Reviewed on February 25, 2005 If you have the urge for some casual demon fighting action, then look no further. This game offers plenty of demons, girls with sacred arrows, a lady with a giant boomerang, and a guy who sucks up things with his hand.
	El Viento review (GEN) Reviewed on February 24, 2005 It’s not like I was a complete stranger to El Viento. Even before I first played it, I felt like I knew just about everything about the game. A slew of vivid works describing wonderfully-drawn cinemas and creative levels chock full of innovative and bizarre monsters and obstacles are scattered over the net with one thing in common — they all rate this game a Bo Derek-like “10”.
	Resident Evil 4 review (GCN) Reviewed on February 23, 2005 Resident Evil 4
	Defenders of Oasis review (GG) Reviewed on February 22, 2005 The Gamegear was practically devoid of any RPG’s except for around 20 some, about a fifth of which came stateside. Defenders of Oasis was a RPG that happened to get lucky and find a publisher that brought it to the states. There are no idiosyncrasies that lift Defenders of Oasis above and beyond other turn based RPGS that were out at the time. It’s simply just a game that’s both brief and entertaining. Definitely worthy of your time.
	Dragon Quest VI: Maboroshi no Daichi review (SNES) Reviewed on February 22, 2005 A cool wind blows, ushering the scent of a nearby campfire into your nostrils, causing you to awaken.
	Hokuto no Ken 7: Seiken Retsuden - Denshousha heno Michi review (SNES) Reviewed on February 21, 2005 Toei didn't learn from their mistakes when they released HNK7, a gritty Fist of the North Star game on the SNES. The prequel was poor but had a few moments where you could sit down and play the thing for a little while and have a bit, and I stress, a bit of fun out of it. I was hoping that Toei would give the game a total overhaul and improve the gameplay a lot, maybe take out the annoying Aura power thing and also change the character roster. I was overjoyed when I first browsed through at what...
	Hokuto no Ken 6: Gekitou Denshouken - Haou heno Michi review (SNES) Reviewed on February 21, 2005 Hokuto no Ken 6 is a lousy fighting game on the SNES based on the popular Fist of the North Star series. The series was pretty popular in America and Japan a few years back but nowadays it seems that there is only a small cluster of fans of this hardcore anime left. I am proud to say that I am one of those fans and those who have not watched a Fist of the North Star episode or read any of the manga novels are seriously missing out. The series was based in a post-apocalyptic period where the worl...
	The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening review (GB) Reviewed on February 21, 2005 That one Zelda game without Zelda in
	Guilty Gear X2 review (PS2) Reviewed on February 21, 2005 Heaven or Hell?
	Color a Dinosaur review (NES) Reviewed on February 20, 2005 Hi there, it's me, the grumpy old veteran gamer, using another medium to express my hatred towards the state of games post-1983. You know me, I'm the guy who goes to Goodwill when he wants a new game. I am wired on Vicodin during the day to treat my Carpal Tunnel-effected wrists. At night I can be found using my laptop, sprawled out on my bed because of a sudden urge to start a bidding war with some punk who will not lose the auction for a pristine Beta copy of Zork. Because it is an auth...
	Divine Sealing review (GEN) Reviewed on February 18, 2005 There’s nothing divine about Divine Sealing; it offers little more than a small hentai album wrapped in five brief levels of shallow, unfinished vertical shooter. At the very least, the quality of its artwork is respectable – but this is a clear testament to the fact that this game’s only intended allure was its animated nudity. Dorks who are actually into that stuff should simply stick to the Internet to satisfy their passions – even they don’t deserve to suffer Divine Sealing’s boring shooter ...
	SoulCalibur II review (XBX) Reviewed on February 18, 2005 Soul Calibur 2 has been Namco’s recent big hits, aside from the earlier Tekken games, which rocked, the company hadn’t brought out anything that was regarded as a classic, from a general gamers point of view. However, with Soul Calibur 2, Namco recreated the weapon-based 3-D fighting experience that thousands have now enjoyed. The game follows the legacy of the demonic Soul-Edge, a sword of apparent unfathomable evil and it covers the quests of various warriors on their quest to destroy the b...
	Mega Man 8 Anniversary Edition review (PSX) Reviewed on February 17, 2005 Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution has been superfluously criticized by both religious fanatics and the common folk, and while over the last two centuries most of the population has come to a compromise on this bitterly-contested thesis, there still remain the stubborn and untactful few.
	Gauntlet II review (NES) Reviewed on February 17, 2005 The name Gauntlet couldn’t have been more appropriate. What we have here is nothing more than some palette-swapped dungeons that we force our reckless heroes through while being assaulted by a never-ending myriad of blood-hungry denizens. Gauntlet didn’t start anything revolutionary here folks; this concept of infinite monsters and randomly created dungeons has been around for quite a while before Atari added some spices to the mix.
	Neutopia review (TG16) Reviewed on February 17, 2005 After I completed the Turbografx-16’s Neutopia, I half-expected to find that the roles of Jazeta, the princess he’s trying to rescue and the evil villain Dirth were played by Link, Zelda and Ganon, respectively. But maybe that was what Hudson was trying to accomplish. After all, Link and his Hyrulian exploits were the hottest thing this side of Mario in Nintendo-land — and success definitely breeds imitation in the world of gaming.
	NFL Street review (XBX) Reviewed on February 17, 2005 Once upon a time, EA Sports released a little gem called NBA Street. Inspired by the likes of NBA Jam, it stole the show with its ability to combine the NBA game and the style and flare of street basketball. The game's ambition quickly turned into a hit and, as any successful company would do, EA Sports quickly found a way to cash in on its flourishing product. Thus we have the creation of NFL Street - a brand of football that attempts to be as hip as its NBA brethren. Being the student of Blitz...
	WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW review (PS2) Reviewed on February 17, 2005 WWE SmackDown vs. Raw is the sixth entry for the SD series, and you’d never know it by playing it. Perhaps it’s the fact that this series is done in a narrow time table (with this being the sixth game in under five calendar years), but the end results are always lacking in some ways. As a long-time fan of Yukes’ games (dating back to their first wrestling game, Toukon Retsuden, also the first 3D wrestling game), this series saddens me because I know what they’re capable of, and it’s much bette...
	Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber review (N64) Reviewed on February 17, 2005 In a trend that surrenders ground to only one exception, I simply don’t stick with Strategy-RPGs. I’ll play through a game, whether it be Final Fantasy Tactics, any of the better members of the Fire Emblem or Shining Force series, or lesser known SNES titles such as Front Mission, Bahamut Lagoon, or FEDA: Emblem of Justice, and then I’ll set it aside. Once or twice in the next while I might pull the game aside for a quick runthrough, but that’s all. No, ...
	RalliSport Challenge 2 review (XBX) Reviewed on February 14, 2005 After being disappointed by how much the bad controls killed any sense of fun from the original, I’m amazed that Rallisport Challenge 2 turns out as good as it does. I came into it very hesitant, thinking that poor controls would once again kill the game. Well, luckily, that didn’t happen, as work was done on them, leaving a game that not only looks and sounds great (the high points of the original), but one that also controls smoothly.
