Snow Bros. review
Snowmen are criminally underrepresented as video game protagonists.

The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct review
The game spooked me on a couple of occasions and frequently almost has enough atmosphere to make its many shortcomings worth overlooking, but then you come across a walker staring at a wall, getting stuck to an object or running in circles…

Gremlins 2: The New Batch review
No one would blame you if you saw Gremlins 2: The New Batch sitting on a used game store shelf somewhere and quickly looked past it. There have been plenty of awful movie-based video games over the years, and the NES certainly wasn’t…

Ninja-Kun: Majou no Bouken review
If you like your ninja games slow and clunky and miserable, this is the game for you.

Magi Nation review
Magi-Nation is a fine example of western RPG developers floundering for success in the RPG genre in the early 21st century

Dead Moon review
In Dead Moon, only during boss fights, your ship turns around and faces left once you reach the screen’s right edge. You’ll feel like you're in an actual arena, struggling to survive a battle with a true rival. The game makes full use of…

Secret of Evermore review
A fresh team of developers from Squaresoft (the company’s North American wing) oversaw development with little direction from the head office. Apparently, their instructions were simply to craft a game about a boy and his dog traveling…

Abadox: The Deadly Inner War review
When you resume play, you'll find yourself again controlling that same slow-moving, impotent piece of junk with which you started. The big difference is that now you'll possibly be starting from a mid-level checkpoint or even a more…

Pinball review
Some games are timeless. Others are NES Pinball.

Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory review
In this form, stats are increased substantially and so is the character’s bust line. Seriously. The young girls are transformed into scantily clad women who wear battle gear that is intended more for fashion than function. I'm not sure why…

White Noise Online review
White Noise Online has made the original title, which I really enjoyed for the three months of its applicable life span, completely obsolete.

Battle Arena Toshinden review
Battle Arena Toshinden is a forgettable fighting game overshadowed by its brothers.

BioShock Infinite review
I'm used to BioShock games tucking their most important characters away in other rooms, so seeing Irrational put so much effort into someone who's at the very forefront from the get-go works wonders to make me feel more connected to the…

Quackshot Starring Donald Duck review
Although the various equipment available had the potential to facilitate a rousing adventure that could have offered a true sense of exploration, most stages are instead hampered by extremely linear design with little or nothing worthwhile…

Gears of War: Judgment review
Judgment is uneventful. It is a succession of disconnected rooms in which unremarkable firefights take place. We rarely even see our team moving from one area to the next; when a mission ends, we push a button, look over our scorecard…

Fortune Street review
Before you begin a game, you can choose to play using either “Easy” rules or the “Standard” set. The latter is definitely the way to go, even if it comes with a hefty learning curve, because it has the potential to dramatically alter the…

God of War: Ascension review
Because its predecessors have already offered so many epic moments, Ascension falls prey to the double-edged sword of comparison: yes, the game offers more of the sort of fun you’ve come to expect, but it also fails to live up to the…
