NFL 2K2 review (PS2)Reviewed on Date UnknownFor many years, there has really only been one name in console football simulations; that of John Madden and his excellent Electronic Arts’ title. Sure, there are other titles to choose from but Madden has always been so good, gamers instinctively stick to this series. But with the end of the Dreamcast, Sega Sports has decided to import it’s own football title to other systems. NFL2K2 might be the closest rival Madden has in the console world. |

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire review (N64)Reviewed on Date UnknownStar Wars: Shadows of the Empire tries to be a first person shooter, a dogfighting flight game, and to have a successful game based on the Star Wars license. On the first two claims there's noticable shortcomings, and on the third claim, well, the fact that no one remembers this title... |

Oni review (PS2)Reviewed on Date UnknownIn fact, this was the first game where I've actually had to use the R3 and L3 buttons. Running and jumping is easy enough, but when it comes to maneuvering, you're screwed. The camera doesn't help this either, as it always seems to be in the wrong place. |

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time review (N64)Reviewed on Date UnknownThis was the game people had been waiting long long years for. In movie sense, it is Star Wars Episode One. However, with expectations this high, Zelda 64 was bound to disappoint some people, myself included. |

Star Wars: Starfighter review (PS2)Reviewed on Date UnknownThis feature allows you to zoom in on the enemy for some precision shots. After the first mission you should be able to pick up all the controls and become a legit Starfighter pilot. Thank you Lucas Arts for making this a simple game to pick up and play. |

Deja Vu I & II: The Casebooks of Ace Harding review (GBC)Reviewed on Date UnknownThe story is Deja Vu's strong point and the reason you'll keep playing. If you don't get into the story, then you'll have little reason to play the game. |

TimeSplitters review (PS2)Reviewed on Date UnknownAfter you grab the item in the level you need to go back to the beginning where the exit is, but there is a twist: now you must fight the timesplitters. These nasty little buggers can kill you outright in 2 or 3 hits! |

Shining Force II review (GEN)Reviewed on Date UnknownShining Force 2 is one of the best roleplaying games for the Genesis, in the upper echelon with the Phantasy Star games. |

Pikmin review (GCN)Reviewed on Date UnknownKinda like a cross between a Real-time strategy and a puzzle game Pikmin is a game where you play as a spaceman who has crashed his ship on a strage planet, and the only way to fix it and get home to to enlist the aid of the freaky little critters called Pikmin. Appearently the Creator, genius Shingeru Miyamoto, got the idea for this game while tending his garden at home. oddly enough, the way to win this game is to collect your small gang of ragtag pikmin and gather food tablets for them, placi... |

Phantasy Star IV review (GEN)Reviewed on Date UnknownPhantasy Star 4, despite the fourth grade spelling job, is by far the greatest role playing game ever created for the Sega Genesis. |

Arkanoid review (NES)Reviewed on Date UnknownArkanoid goes by many names. Some call it Breakthru. Some call it Hit the Wall. Still others call it, “that game with the ball and paddle where you break the blocks but it's not Pong.” Whatever you personally decide to call it, Arkanoid is proof that you don't need complicated gameplay, graphics, or sound to deliver fun. |

Final Fantasy X review (PS2)Reviewed on Date UnknownThe latest instalment of the Final Fantasy series, FFX, is truly a work of art. The graphics are great; characters are spectacular, and the story as in-depth as ever. The game introduces many new things into the series. Square kept the limit break or power break idea, only this time it is called overdrive. Perhaps one of the more noticeable additions is voice acting. There are also many apparent changes with the battle, ability, and equipment systems. I will address them individually: |

Battletoads review (NES)Reviewed on Date UnknownIn Battletoads, you play the role of one of three big, huge, mutated toad creature. Your girlfriend has been kidnapped by the evil Dark Queen, and you must battle though eight chaoctic stages to save her. The plot, like most pre-Genesis action games, is Gouda-level cheesy at best. |
||
Rune: Viking Warlord review (PS2)Reviewed on Date UnknownRUNE: Viking Warlord is a neat game. In a way the game is similar to TombRaider, only in this game one takes on the role of Ragnar, a Viking, and you are seeking vengeance for your fathers death. The story is mildly developed, but that’s all right. Adventure games generally don’t have very in-depth stories anyway. At the very beginning of the game, the opening sequence gives a brief story, explaining a bit about the world you are about to enter. It also tells you about Ragnarok, but if you aren’... |

Contra review (NES)Reviewed on Date UnknownAh, to be back in the sweet days of Contra. Back in the 80's, when Run DMC and Aerosmith ruled the charts, when Ronald Reagen was President, when gaming was a much simpler hobby. |

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 review (PS2)Reviewed on Date UnknownIn case you aren’t familiar with the series, let me tell you a bit about it. The Tony Hawk Pro Skater series is arguably the best skateboarding game to date. While slightly unrealistic because you can bang yourself up really bad and walk—skate away like nothing happened. But honestly, the game would be far too hard if you could injure yourself realistically. You can choose to skate as a number of different pro skateboarders, like Tony Hawk, Elissa Streamer, Bucky Lasek, Kareem Cambell, and so on... |

Deadly Towers review (NES)Reviewed on Date UnknownIf you're one of those sick individuals who likes to play the worst games of a system and then worship them as if they were great, then Deadly Towers might actually appeal to you. |

Deja Vu: A Nightmare Comes True review (NES)Reviewed on Date UnknownIn Deja Vu, you play the role of Ace Harding, private detective. You wake up in a bathroom, remembering nothing of your past, not even your name. To top it all off, you're being framed for a murder case. Your task is to remember your identity and to clear your name. |

Dr. Mario review (NES)Reviewed on Date UnknownSomeone that feisty Italian plumber has made it through medical school and become a doctor. He now doles out pills, helping to quell the viruses in his labratory. |

Shenmue review (DC)Reviewed on Date UnknownIn the vast universe of gaming, there are some titles that are about as shallow as a children's swimming pool at a YMCA. And on the other hand, there are titles that are so vast that the Pacific Ocean wouldn't even match in comparison. Shenmue for the Sega Dreamcast is just that deep. |
