Shadow Dancer: The Secret of Shinobi review (GEN)Reviewed on May 18, 2013Coming off the heels of Revenge of Shinobi, a highly-praised game during the Genesis' launch year, was Shadow Dancer, a follow-up that Revenge fans weren't expecting. |

Lunar Pool review (NES)Reviewed on May 16, 2013As a billiards video game released in 1987, Lunar Pool must have served as a respectable simulation for what it was trying to accomplish. Today however, the game feels more like a puzzle game by bombarding players with rather strange looking tables with portals to pocket balls into. The majority of players may brush off the game as hard or antiquated. Others however, may find a long and challenging puzzle game wrapped around the rules of pool. |

Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins review (GB)Reviewed on May 13, 2013Following in the footsteps on Mario Land, ML2 is filled with wackiness from beginning to end. Its stellar soundtrack, originality and variety in environments more than make up for some of the platforming “floatiness” that is present in Mario's movement. |

Kirby's Dream Land review (GB)Reviewed on May 11, 2013Not so dreamy... |

Gauntlet II review (NES)Reviewed on May 07, 2013I dissect a game from my early childhood, does it hold up? only one way to find out. |

Darkest of Days review (X360)Reviewed on April 28, 2013Darkest of Days isn't going to win any awards for being one of the prettiest games on the Xbox 360, as it's a 2009 title that looks like an indie-made Source game released shortly after 2004's Half-Life 2. But if you've been aware of this game, chances are its looks aren't what piques your interest, instead you're intrigued by the premise: time travel. |

Kabuki: Quantum Fighter review (NES)Reviewed on April 27, 2013seemingly buried in the NES' great stash of platformers, does this game deserve to be remembered fondly? or be relegated to the "cheap shovelware bin" that games like friday the 13th or super pitfall? only one way to find out. |

Koudelka review (PSX)Reviewed on April 24, 2013Occasionally, I am overcome by the urge to try something different. When it comes to video games, “different” is precisely the sort of term that someone might use to describe Koudelka. Another apt label is “interesting,” thanks to the variety of good ideas that the developers implemented. Perhaps the game’s most noteworthy quality, though, is the way that it combines familiar survival horror and RPG elements to create a unique new experience with the potential to be truly special. |

Double Dragon III: The Sacred Stones review (NES)Reviewed on April 21, 2013"THE GREATEST MARTIAL ARTS ADVENTURE SERIES EVER!" - NES Box Cover |

Double Dragon II: The Revenge review (NES)Reviewed on April 16, 2013Could it be? Technos learned from its mistakes? |

Borderlands review (X360)Reviewed on March 31, 2013The game play works incredibly well, but more polish on the more superficial aspects would have made this a game worth revisiting. It may have gotten the Game of the Year, but that was then; the GOTY edition with all of the DLC is affordable now and you’ll get a lot of hours out of it, sure. Borderlands 2 improves on its predecessor in every single way, though, |

Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom review (GEN)Reviewed on March 27, 2013ahh hubris thy name is Sega. |
||
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance review (X360)Reviewed on March 26, 2013For all the silly things that occurred in Metal Gear Solid 2, all the absurd situations Raiden was placed in, and for all the asinine codec conversations I had with Rose (single-handedly trying to stop super-powered terrorists, damn it!), there's one aspect I really enjoyed: using that sword. |
||
Crysis 3 review (PS3)Reviewed on March 19, 2013Crysis 3 doesn’t have any major flaws, but it also doesn’t offer anything out of the ordinary. |
||
Resident Evil 2 review (PSX)Reviewed on March 18, 2013Rest assured that Resident Evil 2 flies the flag for survival horror. Then, with the other hand, it injects itself with a syringe full of G-Virus and mutates into something bigger and badder than before. |
||
Tomb Raider review (X360)Reviewed on March 18, 2013The reboot of the Tomb Raider franchise, aptly called Tomb Raider, is an excellent example of an action movie in video game form. Every appealing aspect of the action genre is present; Explosions, Bloody fights, Explosions, powerful weapons, a Thrilling story, and still more Explosions. |

Rocky and Bullwinkle review (X360)Reviewed on March 14, 2013Well, Zen Studios successfully... |

Tomb Raider review (PC)Reviewed on March 11, 2013Hands free immersion |

Tomb Raider review (PS3)Reviewed on March 10, 2013It’s impressive to see Tomb Raider go from setting up frightening encounters with wolves, to getting your blood pumping right before a shoot out, to giving your trigger-finger a break and making you get cerebral with a puzzle or two. |
