	Batman Forever review (SNES) Reviewed on February 13, 2005 At first glance, Batman Forever probably seemed much more impressive than it actually is. They had the swinging commercial with the catchy Real Game Begins jingle airing at the time, which could easily lead to you believe that this game could capture the experience of being Batman in it's entirety, as well as accurately simulate reality in a mere 16-bits. Fortunately, we know better today, so the game doesn't result in utter disappointment.
	R-Type Final review (PS2) Reviewed on February 13, 2005 The Bydo Empire has been terrorizing the universe since about mid-eighties now and had no plans to stop. Well, that was until Irem decided to end the shooter series R-type with one last game. My incorrigible side didn’t want to believe such nonsense “One of the greatest series in shooter history just can’t end can it?” Much to my dismay, I’d look like I was only getting one more go around against the Bydo Empire and all their evil machinations.
	Blood Bath review (MAC) Reviewed on February 13, 2005 If he had known it was going to be the last day of his life, Norbert Fitzsimmons wouldn't have gotten out of bed. On the way to his dead-end job at the State Institution for the Criminally Mentally Retarded, he pondered working on getting a GED in the hopes of someday making Manager at the Cheapo Music down the street. Before punching in, he chugged down the rest of the bourbon slug he prepared for breakfast; unsatisfying, but it had to do. Today was going to be an important day for the inmates ...
	Zoo Keeper review (DS) Reviewed on February 12, 2005 Tetris, a Russian-developed game for the Gameboy, was what sparked the handheld industry and allowed it to lift off the ground, with the original title selling more than 13 million copies. Despite being behind the console market in capabilities, Tetris proved that some games could only be real good on a handheld, illustrated by several console versions.
	Die Hard Arcade review (SAT) Reviewed on February 12, 2005 Dynamite Deka bears no relation to the classic action film Die Hard aside from basic plot similarities but, in a rare show of marketing genius, Sega noticed these similarities and brokered a fiendishly clever deal with 20th Century Fox. This corporate coupling gave birth to the 32bit polygonal brawler Die Hard Arcade, a refreshing and invigorating action adventure in its own right. After achieving modest success in smelly bowling alleys and grimy gum-floored arcades, Sega ...
	Fighter & Attacker review (ARC) Reviewed on February 11, 2005 As I was playing 1992 Namco shooter Fighter & Attacker, one question kept popping into my mind. No, it didn’t involve me wondering how any self-respecting company could think “Fighter & Attacker” would be an attention-grabbing name — this was a far more important matter. As I blew stuff up through the game’s eight levels, I just wanted to know one thing.
	Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas review (PS2) Reviewed on February 10, 2005 2 years later, here we are again.
	Marvel vs. Capcom 2 review (XBX) Reviewed on February 10, 2005 Marvel vs. Capcom 2 may be the most addictive 2-D fighting game of them all. Unlike Capcom vs. SNK 2, it didn’t rely on complicated fighting “grooves” or a fussy scoring system but on pure mayhem and oversized hyper combos! Luckily, those who never visit arcades or who are unfortunate not to have one in their area got an almost perfect port on their favourite home consoles. Capcom delved into many of their older titles, digging up a bunch of familiar faces as well as some obscure ones. Marve...
	Mega Man Battle Network review (GBA) Reviewed on February 10, 2005 To get employed at Capcom, apparently one thing you have to be able to do is reinvent the Mega Man franchise at a moment’s notice. While most of the different series in that robotic world were based around an action/platforming style of play, the Game Boy Advance got something a bit different.
	Bonanza Brothers review (GEN) Reviewed on February 10, 2005 Another gem from Sega's closet of barely known games would be thief based Bonanza Bros., released on the Mega Drive. Containing qualities that could be a violent adult based game Sega moulded it nicely into something that the younger generation could relate to and also providing a fun yet short challenge for the rest of us.
	Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean review (GCN) Reviewed on February 04, 2005 The Ocean; a vast area of water over millions of square kilometers, many points reaching a depth of under thirty kilometers below sea level. Creatures survive in spite of water pressure that would make a human explode in under a thousandth of a second, utter lack of sunlight, and very little botanical wildlife. Despite man’s subjugation of land over tens of thousands of years, the Ocean is a mysterious place that we know little of.
	Stretch Panic review (PS2) Reviewed on February 04, 2005 Konami, Axelay, Gunstar Heroes, yada yada yada. Now that I’ve exhaustively covered the complete game development history of Treasure, the review can begin.
	Line of Fire review (SMS) Reviewed on February 04, 2005 Line Of Fire starts you off infiltrating an enemy base sometime in the future during a conflict probably with a third world county. Inside, Jack discovers a superweapon that could threaten the livelihood of millions all over the globe. However, his foe won't let him waltz off just yet. Seconds after discovering their secret, the elite guards are on Jack immediately. Time to make a great escape.
	World of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse & Donald Duck review (GEN) Reviewed on February 04, 2005 Following the primitive flop that was Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle but prior to Sonic’s high-speed assault on the gaming market, Sega released another cute platformer, a slow burner that won over many a player’s heart without the slightest bit of hype. Sales didn’t tell the whole story: Castle of Illusion received the same sort of lavish praise that Sonic the Hedgehog garnered, and is thought of in the same fond light to this very day by those who were prudent enough to...
	Nightmare Creatures review (N64) Reviewed on February 03, 2005 Let the darkness consume you as red drifts into the black night.
	Marble Madness review (NES) Reviewed on February 03, 2005 Super Monkey Ball was quite the hit at Gamecube's launch. Sega made a great sleeper hit that has become one of the many well loved games this generation. But do all of the Monkey lovers out there know that this game is not a new concept, but is roughly based on an old game that happened to make its way to the NES? Yes, Marble Madness is in fact similar to design as its more well known and more advanced cousin. But whereas Sega’s game may be wonderfully appreciated, this one does not deserve such...
	Balloon Fight review (NES) Reviewed on February 03, 2005 In 1982, Larry Walters fulfilled his lifelong dream. By attaching 45 helium balloons to a lawn chair and armed only with a pellet gun, a radio, a camera, and some soda, he set flight. Sailing over California at 16,000 ft, he got to enjoy an impressive view (yet still forgot to take pictures) and piss off a lot of pilots. By shooting some of the balloons, he made a semi controlled descent, with a remarkable landing right into some high voltage power lines. Once safely on the ground, he was gr...
	Mega Man 7 review (SNES) Reviewed on February 03, 2005 By the time Capcom was done running their Mega Man franchise into the ground on the NES, it seemed obvious something needed to change. As the sequels had poured in, it seemed each new game had fewer things to set it apart from its predecessors until the NES series culminated with Mega Man 6 — a completely unnecessary game that seemed content to merely rehash elements of the Blue Bomber’s past few outings.
	The Getaway: High Speed II review (GB) Reviewed on February 02, 2005 I like pinball, I think it's an enjoyable genre. Stay on the board for as long as possible and rake up as many points as you can. Yeah, I consider that entertaining. Now, pinball as a video game is a different story; trying to replicate the real deal into the digital form has been hit or miss. Sometimes developers nail it, while other times they fail miserably. Unfortunately, The Getaway: High Speed II falls into the latter category. Add to the fact that someone thought it was a brilliant...
	Resident Evil 4 review (GCN) Reviewed on February 02, 2005 Ok, can I just say one thing? Wow. Just... Wow. This game is a lot better than I thought it was going to be, to be completely honest. I mean, there were so many people talking about how this game was going to be so different from the other ones, that it would completely change the series. Well, I don't think it completely changes the series, so yay! Also, I know there were trailers floating around the internet. I have a trailer on my computer that shows what look like shadowy monsters and it tal...
