	Super Mario Bros. 2 review (NES) Reviewed on July 15, 2002 Super Mario Bros 2 is definitely a strange game. Like Castlevania, Zelda and other great series the second game differed from the methods the series has already taken, and will take from here on out. This game is definitely innovative and a major hit still today. But really is it truly a Mario game, for it differs so much from the first and the third for it is not the jump on top of goombas and kill them and where is King Koopa. Of course Mario is in a dream in this game, so who knows...
	Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt review (NES) Reviewed on July 14, 2002 First of all this is for both Duck Hunt and Super Mario Bros as a collection, so if you want more information about my views on the original Super Mario Bros read my review on just that, for it is alot more detailed than this will be. However putting these two games as a collection is how most of us first experience Super Mario Bros. and the flash gun. So why not get them both at once, that is what I would do.
	Super Mario Bros. review (NES) Reviewed on July 14, 2002 Super Mario Bros was one of the most influential games in the history of videogame history. It was the revolution with a simple plumber named Mario who wanted to jump on Goombas and save a princess. Now this is oldschool, and I mean oldschool. There is truly no story, just gameplay. That was when people minds were simple and did not need a reason to save a princess, just throw in a game and play for the good fun of it. However somehow with all the fancy technology and games where graphics and st...
	Way of the Samurai review (PS2) Reviewed on July 12, 2002 The year is 1878. The collapse of the Tokugawa shogunate has brought an end to the Age of Samurai. Born to a time that no longer needs or welcomes them, these samurai are a far cry from the heroes and legends that preceded them. This is a story of the Way of the Samurai in their final days. I am Kenji, a nameless Samurai to most whom has come to the Rokkotsu Pass on my way to Tokyo. Two factions vie for power in this area. Only I can decide the outcome of this conflict. I will use my combat skil...
	Jeopardy! Sports Edition review (GB) Reviewed on July 11, 2002 Usually Jeopardy games become old fast, and even worse when it is on a portable system, with little to no ability to play two players. Sure you can stick to people on the same gameboy, but that gets annoying fast. Also you have to type in the answers by clicking each key which makes this game long and a hassle. However it redeems itself with it's tough but possible answers. This game is strange, that in most aspects it seems bad, and yet it comes off as an entertaining experience.
	Final Fantasy VII review (PSX) Reviewed on July 11, 2002 Final Fantasy 7 is the Ultimate Console RPG ever created. The storytelling is superb, and on the cutscenes are very good for it's time. Final Fantasy 7 had alot to live up to, sense Final Fantasy 4 and 6 were such great games, and well in my Final Fantasy 7 was equal too, if not better than both of them. At first I played through the PC version and beat it there, however my friends owned the Playstation so I gave a look through it, so I could fairly review that version too.
	Pokemon Crystal Version review (GBC) Reviewed on July 08, 2002 Pokemon Crystal was a plan by Nintendo to make more money off their already popular series. They took the same game as Gold/Silver and seeing they couldn't add in special Pokemon or anything, they made it easier to catch Suicine, and gave him an inside story to keep you in it. Also for once you can be a girl trainer, which amazes me they never came up with this sooner. But in truth it is just the third game in the series, and one you really don't need to play to get all the Pokemon.
	Pokemon Silver Version review (GBC) Reviewed on July 08, 2002 With Pokemon Silver you will need to link up with Gold to catch all 250 of the Pokemon. In aspect this is what Pokemon is all about, and I love it. Looking back Pokemon Silver and Pokemon Gold respectively were probably the best games to sore onto the Gameboy Color, and although not technologically great games, the gameplay is what made Pokemon great.
	Pokemon Gold Version review (GBC) Reviewed on July 08, 2002 Pokemon Gold is one of those games that improves upon an already great game. The original Pokemon for gameboy was already a major success, and well they took that some recipe and added a few new ingrediants. This time there were 100 more pokemon, a way to breed them, and different times of day and night. Of course to get all 250 you would have to trade your Pokemon you already from the originals, and Pokemon silver. However the game is similiar, and yet so much better.
	Fox Sports College Hoops '99 review (N64) Reviewed on July 07, 2002 This is a dirt cheap game in stores, and well one day I had $5 and I saw it was that much, so I purchased it. At first I was pissed because there is no real college b-ball players. Instead you have players similiar to real life counterparts with rediculous names. I got it to see Jason Hart and Etan Thomas of Syracuse, and I was sadly disapointed. However I did put a good amount of time into this game nonetheless.
	Pokemon Pinball review (GBC) Reviewed on July 07, 2002 Yes I actually bought this game, for I sadly admit at one point in my life I was a Pokemon fanatic (however I never did play that card game). So when I saw there was a pinball game out, I was like SCORE more Pokemon. Hahahaha, I regretted that decision kinda, seeing they gave me $20 back for the game, I only lost $10 in the end, and that is actually a fairly good deal. This game is another Pinball spinoff, except you gain the ability to capture Pokemon while racking an insane number of points. T...
	Warriors of Might and Magic review (GBC) Reviewed on July 06, 2002 I am not a typical PC RPG gamer, however I had heard good things about Warriors of Might and Magic, and thought it deserving of a pickup. I played it for about 2 combined hours, before bringing it back for about half the price. That was the biggest bust of my money probably in the history of videogames, so you can already see this is going to be a rating to rival games like Aidyn, and it will. However some might think that I never gave this game enough time, but boy did I try to and if it's impo...
	Dragon Warrior Monsters review (GBC) Reviewed on July 06, 2002 Ah yes... Even the succesful Dragon Warrior series decided to start copying the ingenuis idea of Pokemon. This is a game by feeding creatures certain meets after weakenning them, you try and convince them to join. You also need to breed these creatures to make even better creatures. It's just a cycle like this, more similiar to Revelations than Pokemon. I just love this monster owner genre that just popped up after Pokemon sales.
	Revelations: The Demon Slayer review (GBC) Reviewed on July 05, 2002 In a way this is a spinoff of Pokemon as you convince various monsters to join your party and fight for you. However unlike Pokemon you also are a fighter, and you have to pay to be healed also. This game is fairly interesting and in my mind one of the better Gameboy Color games, and one of the better spinoffs of Pokemon. However it still could've been much better.

	Outlaw Golf review (XBX) Reviewed on July 05, 2002 Woohoo! Finally another zany/fun golfers game hits the xbox. This game is going to be awsome!! Lets just hold that thought right there for a second. Your going to need my analysis on this game because trust me, this game isnt what it appears to be. Thankfully, i rented the game before i purchased it, which would have saved me a good well-earned pay check for another crusty golf game. Outlaw golf is supposed to be a non-official, non-profesional golf game which is made to be fun, and for laughs. ...
	Spider-Man: The Movie review (XBX) Reviewed on July 04, 2002 Finally the wall crawling, web shooting, thug catching, super hero is back. Yes, straight from the movie theatres to the courtesy of your own home for the xbox, playstation 2, and the nintendo gamecube. And yes, i have played this game for all of the three consoles, and to my conclusion suggest that it is the best on the xbox system. This is because of xbox's superior graphics and power. Following the xbox i would have to say the gamecube, and then finally the ps2 just because of the playstation...
	Goemon's Great Adventure review (N64) Reviewed on July 03, 2002 Goemon is a strange game. It has childish humor combined with vulgarity and a mature plot. This is an interesting, yet nice combination. I got Geomon's Great Adventure because there were not that many good looking games coming out for Nintendo 64, and well it looked nice in Nintendo Power. I asked for it for my birthday, and I got it. I quickly popped it in and ran the beggining through. It was addicting from the start, and a great game to run through.
	Banjo-Tooie review (N64) Reviewed on July 03, 2002 Banjo-Tooie was the sequel to one of the most surprising hits for the Nintendo 64. I did not own Banjo-Kazooie then, and I still do not to this day. However I did go out and get Banjo-Tooie, and I got what I expected. I expected a fun game, spent basically running around searching for items and that is what Banjo-Tooie gave me. This does not go above and beyond, but it does not disapoint either.
	Conker's Bad Fur Day review (N64) Reviewed on July 03, 2002 Conkers Bad Fur Day stands as one of the must haves for the Nintendo 64. It is filled with grotesque humor, vulgarity and cartoon violence but that just enhances the greatness Bad Fur Day had the potential, and did become. Alot of people were discouraged by the ''M'' rating, and well that should be so. But if you are willing to look past the ''M'' ratings, this is definitely one of the strongest games for the Nintendo 64.
