	Captain Commando review (ARC) Reviewed on September 13, 2004 Captain Commando wasn’t the most original game by Capcom, the gameplay was pretty much plucked from “Final Fight” and like that game suffered from the repetitive and slow paced play which stopped it from being anything close to a classic. It introduced to us the character of Captain Commando and his pals and threw us on an adventure to stop an alien drug lord from taking over the world (or some crap like that). The game didn’t hit fame and passed through the world relatively quietly, it was p...
	Mega Man Anniversary Collection review (GCN) Reviewed on September 13, 2004 For a lover of the classic Mega Man games endeavoring to find inexpensive copies on eBay, the search can be long and arduous. Carts are strewn all about the open market, to be sure, but one can never be too confident even with a picture of the Mega Man 6 cartridge sitting right next to an immaculate pairing of its respective box and instruction manual. The casual old-school gamer hoping to relive the Blue Bomber's glory days with a lucky, capricious bid is often overwhelmed by crazed bidders wil...
	Contra: Shattered Soldier review (PS2) Reviewed on September 13, 2004 We all have that friend who happens to be a movie buff - the guy that owns more movies than you have seen in your life, and knows more about film than anyone has a right to know. For some odd reason, these movie buffs usually work (or have worked) for a movie rental company. For me, my movie-friend is Jeremiah, and he is a former employer of Movie Gallery. He worked there solely for the free rentals, if that tells you anything. Ultimately, I think it was worth the time, given his monthly bil...
	Mega Man: The Power Battle review (ARC) Reviewed on September 12, 2004 Ladies and Gentlemen, a flock of seagulls.
	Marvel vs. Capcom 2 review (ARC) Reviewed on September 12, 2004 Ladies and gentlemen, may I now proudly present to you, a Vegita Fireside Chat.
	Altered Beast review (ARC) Reviewed on September 12, 2004 [Man, those guys that were just playin' this game sure were acting a little weird...]
	Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001 review (PS2) Reviewed on September 12, 2004 Fighting games often come and go, either striking a chord with players or whizzing down the road of mediocrity, finally pulling into a nice parking space into the Lot of Obscurity. - There are plenty of Handicapped spaces available in this, the final resting place of many a terrible brawling-type, as warranted by the mass of martial-arts touting fools that often find themselves the subject of such games. Sometimes good games find themselves taking the wrong turn on the turnpike, simply because n...
	Sweet Home review (NES) Reviewed on September 11, 2004 Long before Capcom released Resident Evil upon the unwashed masses of gamers, they created Sweet Home for the Famicom. Due to some violent and gory imagery and the common use of prayer to solve problems (a Nintendo of America no-no), this neat little survival horror RPG never reached the shores of America. Too bad that it didn’t, as this quirky little game could have been a sleeper hit due to some innovative aspects.
	Tensei Ryuu: Saint Dragon review (TG16) Reviewed on September 11, 2004 While playing the first level of Aicom side-scrolling shooter Saint Dragon on the ol’ PC Engine, I nearly fell in love. Piloting a skeletal dragon definitely earned this game points in my book, but there was a lot more to it than just that. The entire first level played out as a wonderful way to set a mood in a shooter.
	Kingdom Hearts review (PS2) Reviewed on September 11, 2004 Why does everyone like this game so much?
	Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven review (PS2) Reviewed on September 11, 2004 It's fun to kill people in games.
	Sonic Adventure 2: Battle review (GCN) Reviewed on September 09, 2004 Sonic was battered and beaten, being featured in lackluster games on a dying platform known to mankind as the Sega Saturn. Although Sega hoped to make a gaming renaissance on the Sega Dreamcast, it was overlooked due to the hype machine known as the Playstation 2. Realizing the blue hedgehog could not gain any popularity on the ill-fated Dreamcast, Sega released some of his games on another tiny platform: the Nintendo GameCube. You're kidding me. The average human being back in 2001 would think ...
	Command and Conquer: Renegade review (PC) Reviewed on September 08, 2004 Set in the game world of the original Command & Conquer RTS, Renegade is a first person shooter centering around a commando named Havoc and a simple plot unfolding over 12 missions. It is no way a ground breaking RTS, and in fact has a couple of flaws that leave it clearly a step behind the best in the genre. Renegade is mostly of an interest to fans of Command & Conquer due to the many similarities and tributes to the original game, but will likely only be of remote interest to those who have n...
	Age of Mythology review (PC) Reviewed on September 06, 2004 An angry army of Cylclops and Medusas has infested your town and is destroying all of your houses and civilians. Now... considering this isn't your normal everyday problem, you have several choices: A) Run around screaming and wetting your pants. B) Call your local exterminator. C) Attack the annoyances with your awesome army of Hersirs, after of course, freezing them solid with your Frost god-power.
	Crimson Tears review (PS2) Reviewed on September 06, 2004 Considering the scant advertising and minimal hype that accompanied the release of Crimson Tears, I think it's safe to say that Capcom determined the project's chances of succeeding to have been dubious at best. But let's suppose for a moment that the corporation's head honchos turned their attention from Viewtiful Joe ports and Resident Evil rehashes, and decided to give this little beat 'em up a bit of support. Their efforts likely would have focused on the gorgeous cel-shaded visuals that T...
	Deathrow review (XBX) Reviewed on September 05, 2004 I feel it’s unfair for creatively good games to not be advertised in anyway or be released with over shadowing big name competitors. This usually causes unknown games to fall in between the cracks of genre rivals and its own obscure world. In the end, these games don't receive the attention they deserve nor does it normally give the game's fans a worthy sequel to look forward to. I believe Deathrow can be classified in this way. It features fighting/beat 'em up action combined with an innovative...
	SoulCalibur II review (GCN) Reviewed on September 05, 2004 Do you like big swords? How about oversized muscle men in suspenders? If you answered yes to either questions, you’ll love Namco’s latest double edged serving of Soul Calibur II. Yum…giant steak knives…
	NES Play Action Football review (NES) Reviewed on September 04, 2004 A good football game on the NES is a difficult title to gain. The NES's lack of power and overall simplicity made it challenging for football games, or any sports games, to capture a sense of the sport and be playable at the same time. Don't get me wrong; the NES did host a trio of football classics. Two being Tecmo Bowl (1989) and its sequel Tecmo Super Bowl (1991), both offered a football feel and easy to pick-up playability. NES Play Action Football is the other of these football classics. It...
	Mega Man X4 review (PSX) Reviewed on September 04, 2004 If there's one thing gamers know about Capcom, it's that they like to reap the rewards of a successful title. I mean, come on. Six Mega Man games on one console, countless Street Fighter rehashes and a remake of about every single Resident Evil game to exist? Out of those franchises, though, Mega Man has been the most popular. Most gamers have loved to play as the short blue robot, shooting bad guys and fighting for everlasting peace. And its most famous spin-off, the X series, has been j...
	Panzer Dragoon Orta review (XBX) Reviewed on September 04, 2004 Panzer Dragoon Zwei didn’t waste any time. The opening scene violently hurled unsuspecting gamers into an enemy-infested outpost with the ability to destroy nearly any building for obscene amounts of bonus points. Branching paths were later introduced, culminating in the absurdly intricate Underground Canals. The sheer beauty of reflective turquoise waters enchanted players’ hearts, but the mis-shapen creature skulking beneath the surface chilled players’ spines. As Lundi and h...
