	Streets of Rage 2 review (GEN) Reviewed on August 31, 2003 There has not exactly been a lack of beat-em-up side scroller games released over the years. Despite the dwindling popularity of the classic genre, the SNES and Genesis had a ton of great ones to choose from. One of the better known (and highly rated) ones was a Genesis game called Streets of Rage 2. Almost everyone I talk to makes it seem like an extraordinarily fun beat-em-up game with tons of innovative features.
	Oregon Trail review (PC) Reviewed on August 31, 2003 There are some games that we played as kids that we'll never forget. Oregon Trail is one of those games for me. What kid who grew up in the 80's/90's hasn't at least seen someone playing this game at school? I spent many a day in elementary school playing this classic. It was educational, but you wouldn't know it, because this game is just SO much fun to play. I seriously had a blast every time when I fired up Oregon Trail, and it's a game that requires brain as well as brawn to win.
	NHL FaceOff '97 review (PSX) Reviewed on August 31, 2003 It's always hard for me to justify giving high scores to old sports games -- not talking about classics like Tecmo Super Bowl, of course, but games in a series, like Madden 95, or NBA Live 96. Not because they're not fun, but because the later games in the series are SO much better, and there's no reason to actually play the game in question when there's so many other games in the series to choose from.
	Activision Classic Games review (PSX) Reviewed on August 31, 2003 Activision Classics is a great game. There, I got that out of my system. The thing about the game is that it is not just one game. It is many games put into one. In fact, it is 30 of the most classic Activision games ever, put onto one disc for the Sony Playstation. I think this was a great idea that was actually done pretty well. The only main complaint I have was all the loading times that accompained the disc, but those were to be expected. It just felt a little unusual seeing all those loadi...
	Mega Man II review (GB) Reviewed on August 31, 2003 Enough already, Capcom.
	Breath of Fire review (GBA) Reviewed on August 31, 2003 Breath of Fire was a game released by Squaresoft but produced by Capcom way back in 1992. I should have known something was up right off the bat. The official excuse I keep hearing is that Capcom was too weary of selling a RPG in America, so they licensed the king of all that is RPGing to publish the game. While this makes sense, I have also heard an interesting theory that said Capcom didn't think the game was all that great, and therefore let Square handle it in a last-ditch attempt to sell co...
	Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow review (GBA) Reviewed on August 31, 2003   I remember when I wanted a sequel to Symphony of the Night. It seems like such a long time ago now, since there have now been THREE Castlevania games on Game Boy Advance, and they've been released in a span of about three years. You may think that the games suffered from a lack of quality due to the quick turnover rate of them, but nothing could be further from the truth.
	Baseball Mogul Online review (PC) Reviewed on August 25, 2003 Programmers of baseball management games must make a decision between two paths early in development. The first option is to faithfully reproduce all the nuances of real baseball management - hiring coaches, setting up minor league teams, drafting amateur players, etc. The second option focuses upon the “important” aspects, such as setting major league lineups and pitching rotations, letting a computer AI handle complex decisions.
	Immoral Study - Reiko Shirakawa review (PC) Reviewed on August 23, 2003 It’s not easy being a professional pervert/rapist, and if anything Immoral Study #1 isn’t afraid to show us the ups and downs of this rewarding occupation. While not affording much room for advancement, the field attracts its fair share of egotistic weasels. Fortunately, Scoop Software has made a game that exposes the evils of rape and pedophilia and goes directly into the mind of a lecherous twit. Once we’re inside, there’s not much to do.
	True Love review (PC) Reviewed on August 23, 2003 Ah, high school! Four years of my life whittled away sleeping, snorting junk, and doing occasional paperwork. While such an environment might be stifling to your average teenage male’s sexual development, there is the exact opposite problem in Japan. Daisuke, our protagonist, attends an elitist private school, and he faces a rather unique crisis—all the girls he meets are young, foxy, and stacked, with very few exceptions. At the tender age of 18 he’s already been kicked out of his parents’ hous...
	Legends of the Diamond review (NES) Reviewed on August 19, 2003 Hearing old baseball players and analysts like Joe Morgan on television waxing poetically about the “good ole days” of professional baseball and players playing “for the love of the game” and not “multi-million dollar contracts” can warp the distinction between perception and reality. False beliefs, such as teams winning with “clutch” hitting, defense, and determination are held up and idolized by the paid professionals who play and cover the game of baseball. Despite recent hard work by stati...
	Goofy's Hysterical History Tour review (GEN) Reviewed on August 13, 2003 It's odd how there are sometimes games that were obviously designed for kids, yet they are so difficult it's hard to believe they really are for kids. That's how I felt while playing Goofy's Hysterical History Tour, a game so hard I spent days on the first level, so I don't see a kid playing that, but perhaps that in fact, it's a game for adults hiding behind the Disney facade.
	Rayman 3 review (GBA) Reviewed on August 12, 2003
	Shadow of the Beast review (GEN) Reviewed on August 11, 2003 Shadow of the Beast is a game I'm not sure to like or dislike. It got great graphics, great music, a great story but the game is hard like hell so how to like it ? I played the game using an invincibility code or else I couldn't even have get past the first level, seriously.
	Disney's Ariel: The Little Mermaid review (GEN) Reviewed on August 11, 2003 I remember this game was one of my favorites on Genesis when I was young. There weren't a lot of games where you could spend the whole game underwater, except for Ecco, so it was a nice change of pace. I still think this game is one of Genesis' finest Disney-based games (the finest one being the superb Pocahontas game -- notice how both feature female protagonists). Try it for yourself and you'll see.
	Ghouls 'N Ghosts review (GEN) Reviewed on August 11, 2003 I had this game when I was young but I never really played it because it was too hard and I couldn't even get past the first level. My father did go further tough and I enjoyed looking at him playing the game. Now that I'm way older, I felt like replaying the game and found out the game was in fact pretty darn good ! Now I can't stop playing, not until I beat the game ! (Yes, I actually went further than level 1... on practice mode)
	Paper Mario review (N64) Reviewed on August 10, 2003 If you want to own a good RPG on N64, you don't have other choices than this one. It's not the best RPG around but it's the best on N64, definitively.
	Quest 64 review (N64) Reviewed on August 10, 2003 This is N64's only 'decent' RPG besides Paper Mario. Should you buy it ? Perhaps.
	Dokapon: Monster Hunter review (GBA) Reviewed on August 10, 2003 I liked the title of the game so I got it. It turned out to be a mediocre RPG but still decent and I like it... after all.
	Evolution Worlds review (GCN) Reviewed on August 10, 2003 If you like dungeon crawlers, you'll like this one but if not, forget about it ! This game is supposed to be a compilation of both Dreamcast games, Evolution 1 & 2 but don't expect to play the two full games since more than half of Evolution 1 is missing from the game. However, Evolution 2 is complete. It's not a big deal since Evolution 2 is way better than Evolution 1 but still, it shortens a lot the game which is already pretty short for a RPG. So you get like 25% of Evolution 1 plus all Evol...
