Radia Senki: Reimei Hen review
If there was ever an underrated game, this would be it. Released in 1991,this was the NES's "Golden RPG"; but, sadly, it never got the fame it deserved. Graphics: These could probably pass for a early 16-bit game. The characters are all…

Kolibri review
Arguably the best hummingbird/scrolling shooter hybrid on the SEGA 32X

Kingdom Hearts review
If you’re willing to bypass the game’s numerous flaws and instead look at its marvelous accomplishments, you’ll enjoy your time immensely. It’s plot really is touching, and sometimes even shocking, amidst the predictability; the realms of…

Bionic Commando Rearmed review
Ah the good old days of gaming, when things were simpler and games didn't last as long. Of course, this was probably because you lost all three lives within ten minutes of game play and then went to do something else, like play soccer or…

Dragon Quest V: Tenkuu no Hanayome review
Your hero might be a standard silent protagonist and his supporting cast isn't really given any motivation for their actions other than utter devotion to your quest, but as I played Dragon Quest V, I felt more of a connection to them than…

Master of the Monster Lair review
The thing that keeps a person digging is the sense of ownership. Once you've crafted a beautiful maze, it's fun to return because then you'll get to see what monsters have decided to inhabit your dungeon. If you just built a few bland…

Coryoon review
As you progress through its eight stages, it seems near-impossible to stay alive as enemies dart onto the screen in erratic waves, spewing bullets here and there, while various indestructible obstacles such as moving statues and clapping…

Mega Man 9 review
This is a game where your skills start out rusty, yet your experience as you improve goes from “pretty good but wow is this game hard” to “I can't believe I used to have trouble with that!” The sense of accomplishment as each stage is…

Resident Evil: Outbreak File #2 review
The Resident Evil series' supposedly exclusive move from the Playstation to the GameCube kicked off in 2002 with the arrival of the cripplingly good Resident Evil Remake and Resident Evil Zero. Resident Evil 4 was still three years away…

Rumble Roses XX review
The perv ideas begin with the outfits, which range from form-fitting hot pants to your basic wrestling thong. Once you’ve selected your hottie and dressed her as skimpily as you like, choose an arena and get to fighting. Even while duking…

Mega Man review
Despite the popular notion that the Mega Man series never evolved (or became more “intelligently designed”) as it progressed, the series actually underwent many fundamental changes in its early NES installments. While the differences…

Koudelka review
The great thing about Koudelka is the atmosphere and storyline. This is not your typical Japanese RPG with cheery graphics and a cutesy storyline with a bunch of children. This game takes place in a haunted castle in 1898, and you control…

Red Bull BC One review
Even if the simple gameplay were tweaked to its maximum amount of enjoyment, no link is established to the main attraction: breakdancing. Sure, if I refrain from moving the stylus, my tiny dancer will passively bob to a generic beat. And…

Galactic Civilizations II: Endless Universe review
his means that anyone who has touched anything resembling a turn-based strategy before will easily pick it up but the simple setting change doesn't make the game good. Its kind of like how many people say that Firefly was just a Western…

Thief: Deadly Shadows review
Does a game lose worth for providing too much of a challenge? Forcing the player into a routine of patience in order to beat its difficulty is the very crux of the Thief franchise, so it seems a little unfair to berate an admittedly…

Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner review
Giant robot games bore me. While a handful are good, especially the tough-as-nails sidescroller Assault Suit Leynos 2 and the well streamlined MechAssault, the vast majority of them bog themselves down in too many mechanics to be of any…

Virtua Fighter CG Portrait Series Vol. 9: Kage Maru review
Dear friends, I am about to admit something that I’m sure no one will forgive me for. It’s something I should have known about for ages, but sadly, I did not, thanks to my restricted knowledge of video games a child. My friends, I… I don’t…

Attention, Soldier! We have a mission for you. We’re not altogether sure what this mission will involve as of yet, but we’re giving it the code-name Operation: Vietnam. We know you’re probably keen to know why we’re sending four of you on…
