	Omikron: The Nomad Soul review (DC) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 This is review is meant as a warning to any unfortunate souls who should find that they have accidentally bought this game. Further more to put off anyone who sees it in the bargain bin and thinks its worth a look.
	Bangai-O review (DC) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Bangai-O is an insanely fast and frenetic Dreamcast shooter from the offbeat Japanese codeshop ''Treasure''. Released in the UK in the year 2000, like many shooters in this country it sold relatively poorly, even at the insanely cheap price it hit the shelves at. As usual the lure of the glossy driving game or sports sim proved more compelling even to the more discerning Dreamcast gamer community and Bangai-o quickly passed into that elite company of games that few people have played, but those ...
	The Hobbit review (C64) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Ah 1985, what a great year. Madonna was ''Getting Into the Groove'', Whitney Houston was ''Saving all her Love'', the threat of imminent nuclear war had us all nailing doors to the wall's at right angles to create fall out shelters and most importantly I briefly acquired a Commodore 64 computer and a stack of games!
	Sex Games 2 review (C64) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Writing a review of one of thse kinds of games is quite a challenge. How can I justify playing something as pathetic and sleazy as Sex Games 2 on the Commodore 64. Well basically it was curiosity. I had heard of sex based games on various systems dating back to suck infamous Atari 2600 titles like “Beat ‘em and Eat ‘em” and “Custers Revenge”. My retro system of choice is the Commodore 64 so it was searching this back catalogue that I found this shoddy piece of software.
	Rampage review (ARC) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Ahhh, Rampage. This game has a lot of nostalgia value for me. So I'm going to review it in that vein. Its one of the games I played to death in the eighties. Move extreme love of this game is all due to the fun I had during the times I spent hanging out in grotty arcades, chip shops and erm..adult book shops which were the only places that let underage kids in to play on arcade machines. Those happy times I spent in the company of Rampage have made it acquire a rose tinted glow that even harsh 2...
	Xenon review (AMIGA) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Xenon. Such an evocative game for me. It may on the surface look like just another vertically scrolling shooting game, but to me it is so much more. As I take control of my little tank/spaceship and waggle my Amiga one-button joystick (microswitches clicking into infinity), desperately avoiding the enemy fire and manically collecting the various pick-ups I couldn’t help but be transported back in time…
	Speedball II: Brutal Deluxe review (AMIGA) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe is a future sports title that appeared on the Amiga back in 1990. Created by a UK based development team called the Bitmap Brothers it is a game that was a breath of fresh air at the time and still amazingly playable today. So much so that I believe a Game Boy Advance conversion is being planned for release in the very near future.
	Sensible Soccer review (AMIGA) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 It's 1992 and I'm round at a mates house. He owns an Amiga, but I do not care. I have given up on videogames for far nobler things (ie. Star Trek fandom). I lounge on his bed watching some rented videos of the latest Star Trek series Deep Space Nine. He looks restless. He boots up his Amiga and looks at me expectantly.
	Lemmings review (AMIGA) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Way, waaaaaaaaaaay back in the depths of time (well the late eighties-early nineties), playing Lemmings nearly took over my life. Took it over to such an extent that I came perilously close to failing first my GCSE's, and then my A'levels.
	James Pond II review (AMIGA) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 There has been a long tradition of game heroes drawn from the animal kingdom over the years. Crash is a Bandicoot, Sonic is a Hedgehog, Gex is a Gecko and Jim is an Earthworm [a pedant writes: technically an earthworm is not an animal it's an Annelid]. Anyway, one of videogaming great ''lost'' animal heroes is James Pond the super spy fish. This small orange cod starred in a well received if rather uninspired platform game; James Pond at the end of the 1980's [another pedant writes: fish aren't ...
	Out of This World review (AMIGA) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 If you are going to do bizarre experiments with your particle accelerator, then for goodness sake DON’T do them during a thunderstorm. It’s just asking for trouble. But sadly back in 1991 a ginger scientist called Lester ignored this sound advice and one dark and stormy night in his laboratory he falls victim to a terrible accident. While trying to reheat a Styrofoam cup of tea in the atom bombardment chamber a bolt of lightening strikes the lab. His tea super-heats and boils over, fusing the de...
	Time Crisis: Project Titan review (PSX) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 There's a new kid in town who's come to bring joy to slavering title-starved owners of the Gun-Con 45 for the Playstation. If you'd resorted to pointing the light-gun at your sister and making 'PEOO! PEOO!' noises for the past few months trying to stave off withdrawal systems, well it's time to stop, because Time Crisis: Project Titan has entered the building. What's more, this game is a Playstation exclusive, which somehow makes it a whole lot more fun and places a big silly grin on your...
	Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi review (PSX) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 The Star Wars Universe is a violent place, in a bloodless kind of way (the occasional piece of lightsaber dismemberment excepted). Through all of the films, we've enjoyed countless spectacular person to person battles, whether the weapons were blasters, gaffi sticks, lightsabers or the Force. Gamers pined for years for all of this violent stuff and a solid range of characters from the Star Wars world to be distilled into a one-on-one fighting game. We didn't just want to be able to recrea...
	Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace review (PSX) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 The taxation of trade routes to outlying systems is in dispute. The Greedy Trade Federation has stopped all shipping to the small planet of Naboo with a blockade of deadly battleships...
	South Park review (PSX) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 I rented South Park for the weekend, and I am about to do everything within my power to dissuade you from having even this much (or this little) to do with the game.
	Soul of the Samurai review (PSX) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 The road travelled by the samurai is serpentine. Starting in Japan, moving through America and finally spreading to Europe and the PAL territories of the world, Konami's Soul of the Samurai spent a bizarre one and a half years in pilgrimage before it reached my shores (Australia), and apparently experienced such enlightenment en route that it adopted the sharper new name of Ronin Blade. I'm not sure of the reasons for either the uncharacteristically long delay or the name change, b...
	Shadow Man review (PSX) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Never before have I been so depressed and disappointed by a Playstation game for which I had high expectations as I was in the case of Acclaim's Shadow Man.
	Rogue Trip: Vacation 2012 review (PSX) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Cars, Gadgets and Combat. Three cool things which can be rearranged in a mighty six possible permutations if you lay them end to end, but that's not important right now. What is important is that the transition of this kind of car combat fun from James Bond movies (''Now pay attention 007! This cigarette lighter also triples as an eyebrow trimmer and portable napalm thrower.'') to videogames was as inevitable as my completing this sentence with the word inevitable. From Spy Hunter ...
	Resident Evil 3: Nemesis review (PSX) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is the third journey into one of my favourite horror worlds, and like the third instalment of any trilogy whose power has created an increasingly anxious and intense fan base (of which I am a proud member), RE3 arrived pregnant with meaning. Incumbent upon the game were the emotional and technical expectations from fans, as well as a greater awareness amongst the gaming population at large; thus it was bound by fate to elicit the most varied reactions to date.
	Quake II review (PSX) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 I would like to be able to say that the game I consider to be the greatest across the board technical achievement for the Playstation is actually an original title for the console. I can't, because it is Quake II, a port of id Software's PC-originated first-person shooter (FPS).
