	Spider-Man: Mysterio's Menace review (GBA) Reviewed on Date Unknown Graphically, Spiderman is a step ahead of other 2D sidescrollers and platformers on GBA, such as Castlevania and Klonoa. The crisp, detailed sprites are very smoothly animated. Instead of the 3-frame running animation in Castlevania, I can't even tell how many frames the running animation is in Spiderman.
	Metal Gear Solid review (GBC) Reviewed on Date Unknown You can still crawl on the floor, put your back against walls to hide from enemies, and use a variety of nifty gadgets and weapons to aid you in combat. This is the main area where the gameboy version of MGS shares the most similarities with the PSX version.
	Pokemon Silver Version review (GBC) Reviewed on Date Unknown I really don't see how Pokemon got so much praise... It really doesn't deserve it. Sure, it's not terrible, but it needs a lot of work in terms of gameplay. It's just so repetitive that it becomes boring after a short period of playing. Really, this is only for people who really like to catch cute little monsters, or
	Devil May Cry review (PS2) Reviewed on Date Unknown Devil May Cry's gameplay is like a cross between Castlevania, Resident Evil, Mario, and a corny 80's horror movie.
	X-Men review (NES) Reviewed on Date Unknown Then there are the enemy formations, always designed so that you're cornered and bounced around from foe to foe, or into the lethal toilets or lava pits. And sometimes, when all you need is an invulnerability icon to proceed, the game will give you nothing for minutes at a time. Then it will shower you with them once you die and resume your mission as a new mutant. I can almost hear the bitter developers laughing at me from beyond the television screen whenever I play this game.
	Final Fantasy X review (PS2) Reviewed on Date Unknown FFX introduces many new elements which have never been seen before in a Final Fantasy game. I guess the one with the biggest impact is the new battle system. Square finally decided to just throw exp/levelling-up out the window.
	Streets of Rage 2 review (GEN) Reviewed on Date Unknown Mr. X would never hide Adam somewhere normal! You've got to truly search high and low to find your missing buddy. THAT is why you discover that the baseball diamond is a massive hidden elevator leading to an underground hideout! It's there because Mr. X is just that damn clever, it has nothing to do with the game designers smoking too much crack!
	Grand Theft Auto III review (PS2) Reviewed on Date Unknown Stealing cars, killing innocent pedestrians for their money, pissing off cops... It's all just standard fare for your character in Grand Theft Auto III.
	Beyond the Beyond review (PSX) Reviewed on Date Unknown The characters have no personality to them, and the game seems to just always be going SO slow. From the storyline, to the graphics, it all just seems slow and boring. Dungeons are pretty much long and tedious, with tons of random battles.
	Breath of Fire III review (PSX) Reviewed on Date Unknown I never expected BOF3 to satisfy me this much. After playing the game, I'm willing to place it in my top 10 RPG's of all time, just because I love the atmosphere, the way it's presented, the characters, and almost everything about it. It may not meet some gamers' expectations, but I just love how it all falls together.
	Little Nemo: The Dream Master review (NES) Reviewed on Date Unknown See, Nemo carries with him an apparently endless supply of bubblegum. Naturally, any good beast appreciates something on which to chew, so you can chuck some of it at a creature, watch for it to start blowing bubbles, then ride it. The creatures that most instantly come to mind are a mole/badger sort of thing, a bumblebee, a crab, and an ape.
	Felix the Cat review (NES) Reviewed on Date Unknown Not every stage is restricted to platform hopping. In one, for example, you fly over a desert in a hot air balloon, tossing frisbees at grounded foes. There are also places where you swim, or where you skim along the surface of the water on a dolphin's back. No one type of level is really overdone, so there's a good sense of variety.
	Castlevania: Symphony of the Night review (PSX) Reviewed on Date Unknown The orchestrated soundtrack is full of wonderful, mood-setting tracks. Haunting latin vocals are also featured in certain parts of the game. While the voice-acting is just flat-out bad, there isn't enough dialogue in the game for it to make any difference, and the music and sound effects more than make up for it.
	Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 review (GCN) Reviewed on Date Unknown The R button, also, does the new Revert move, which, when you're coming off of a lip trick on a ramp, lets you maintain a combo by allowing you to string in a manual...
	Chrono Cross review (PSX) Reviewed on Date Unknown Depending on what choices you make, you'll meet different characters, and complete different sub-quests. With multiple endings and paths you can take, this game has tons of replay value.
	The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time review (N64) Reviewed on Date Unknown If you play your cards right, don't abandon the classic formulas, and continue to innovate, anything is possible, as shown in this, one of the best games ever created - on any system - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
	Dino Crisis 2 review (PSX) Reviewed on Date Unknown The game looks better than its prequel, but it just makes it a bit more awkward to navigate in the 2D world. Since you can't go ''anywhere'', like in a 3D game, it's sometimes hard to judge exactly where things are, where you can go, etc.
	The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask review (N64) Reviewed on Date Unknown Overall, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is an improvement of its predecessor. However, it doesn't seem to capture the same epic feel as The Ocarina of Time, and, in the end, the first Nintendo 64 Zelda game will be the one you'll always remember.
	Fear Effect review (PSX) Reviewed on Date Unknown When your fear meter is in the 'red' zone, a single shot will knock your character dead. It's much harder to bring your fear meter back down than it is to bring it up. You must shoot without being seen, and basically do all the opposite things it takes to make the meter increase.
	Final Fantasy Tactics review (PSX) Reviewed on Date Unknown FFT's storyline is on-par with every other RPG in existence.
