Available Reviews
	Over Horizon review (NES) Reviewed on June 20, 2013 The next level drops you into an icy cavern where you'll find yourself shooting blocks to temporarily move them out of the way so that you can slip through the gaps before the ice returns to its original position. When you get used to doing that, you'll confront small machines capable of also moving the blocks — except they kick the dang things right into you, which keeps you on your toes.
	Home Alone review (NES) Reviewed on June 20, 2013 "Kevin's home alone, and he's only 8-bit!"
	Bomberman review (NES) Reviewed on June 17, 2013 The surprisingly strong start of the long-running series. Multiplayer sold separately.
	Mighty Final Fight review (NES) Reviewed on June 14, 2013 Mighty Final Fight is a prime example of what happens when a developer competently ports a big game to a smaller platform.
	Double Dragon review (NES) Reviewed on June 14, 2013 Double Dragon was an instant arcade classic that has been ported to a multitude of consoles over the years.
	Crash 'N the Boys Street Challenge review (NES) Reviewed on June 14, 2013 As a party game, Crash ‘N the Boys: Street Challenge could be a blast. It’s designed for trash talking and the raucous shenanigans that occur when four gamers crowd around a TV.
	Hudson Hawk review (NES) Reviewed on June 14, 2013 Lame Duck.
	Binary Land review (NES) Reviewed on June 13, 2013 How did penguins and spiders even end up in the same place?
	Blaster Master review (NES) Reviewed on June 09, 2013 I’ve come back to Blaster Master time and time again, and I’ve never gotten tired of it. To me, that’s the true definition of a video game classic.
	Adventure Island II review (NES) Reviewed on June 06, 2013 Adventure Island II is the game Adventure Island wanted to be. The first game was only worth playing for the novelty of its unreasonable difficulty, but this one is worth playing because it’s actually good.
	Space Megaforce review (SNES) Reviewed on June 06, 2013 At heart, everything about this level is pretty simple and basic — heck, its boss fight really isn't much more than a large collection of those guns you'd been blasting on the station's surface for much of the level — but the presentation makes it feel like so much more; like you're actually waging a one-man assault on a giant enemy base.
	Devil World review (NES) Reviewed on June 01, 2013 Dante was wrong. Hell only has three levels.
	Lunar Pool review (NES) Reviewed on June 01, 2013 There isn't too much more you can really say about Lunar Pool, except that it's a generally fun game. If you like pool-- or perhaps mini-golf-- then it's hard to go wrong with it, especially if you can find it cheap. It welcomes newcomers and pros alike, and for a pool game which dares to reach beyond the normal boundaries, it does its job well.
	Resident Evil: Revelations review (X360) Reviewed on May 28, 2013 For a handheld to produce the best Resident Evil in nearly a decade while its console big brothers are all banging pots and setting off fireworks is pretty badass. Now that it's actually on consoles, though, with the higher standards that a port job like this demands, it just feels like another addition to an increasingly long list of missed opportunities.
	The Elder Scrolls IV: Knights of the Nine review (X360) Reviewed on May 28, 2013 In the priory basement is an enchanted pedestal which will convert this equipment into stronger versions as you increase in level. Since many rewards in this game are based on your level when you earn them, having stuff that will grow with you instead of simply becoming obsolete is a very nice touch.
	Rad Racer review (NES) Reviewed on May 26, 2013 Rad Racer isn't the greatest driving or racing game ever made, but it was a quality piece of work and it remains fun to this day. The fact that it represents the work of some of Square's finest team members before they made it big with the Final Fantasy series makes it potentially interesting for fans of that franchise, as well.
	Super Arabian review (NES) Reviewed on May 26, 2013 There's nothing Super about this Arabian.
	Fuzzical Fighter review (NES) Reviewed on May 26, 2013 Perhaps these two genres just weren't meant to be mashed together and that’s why they wound up feeling as compatible as the typical Hollywood relationship.
	Bucky O'Hare review (NES) Reviewed on May 25, 2013 This is a game that seems to delight in making players scream in frustration, and I have better things to do with my time than engage in such a masochistic pursuit.
	G.I. Joe review (NES) Reviewed on May 25, 2013 Even if you aren’t interested in the license, this is a thoroughly entertaining action game that I would recommend you experience.
