    This semi-obscure gem is more than worth playing, but not without flaws.

    Mother 2: Gyiyg no Gyakushuu

    This semi-obscure gem is more than worth playing, but not without flaws.

    This is a strange, quirky game created by the Japanese writer Shigesato Itoi. The main reason this game is good is its extremely original, if not somewhat strange, storyline and writing style. The game is set on Earth, a... Read Full Review

    An all-time mega-hit, this classic ranks among the greatest games ever created.

    Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

    An all-time mega-hit, this classic ranks among the greatest games ever created.

    This game, my personal all-time favorite game in any genre and on any system, is the result of a combined effort from Squaresoft (resulting in noticable influences and cameos) and Nintendo- a feat which has yet to be tru... Read Full Review

    Hilariously terrible, disgustingly bad, putridly obnoxious, etc. etc.

    Virtual Chess 64

    Hilariously terrible, disgustingly bad, putridly obnoxious, etc. etc.

    I decided to review this game just out of boredom, because this is a very old and obscure title (for very good reason!). This is simply a chess game for N64, nothing more. That's the good part. The bad part is tha... Read Full Review

    An amazingly good title which represents a long-awaited return to old-school Mario greatness.

    New Super Mario Bros.

    An amazingly good title which represents a long-awaited return to old-school Mario greatness.

    I am so incredibly glad that Nintendo finally made a classic-style Mario game again! The graphics are vibrant, the music is perfectly appropriate and well-done, blah, blah, blah.... this is just an extremely great game! ... Read Full Review

    A very addictively fun, but flawed, TBS game.

    Age of Empires: The Age of Kings

    A very addictively fun, but flawed, TBS game.

    First the good: the game is very fun! I like the Hot Seat mode, personally, as fighting computer AI isn't really as much fun for me. I especially like the unique blend of TBS and RTS elements in this game- such as the in... Read Full Review

    Good gameplay and graphics, unfortunate choice of music.

    Sonic Rush

    Good gameplay and graphics, unfortunate choice of music.

    First, as a long-time Sonic fan, it still feels wierd to be playing this title on a Nintendo system! Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised with the gameplay and graphics- the dual-screen action is quite interesting, and bei... Read Full Review

    An improvement, but still on the wrong track. Go back to sidescrollers, Sonic Team!

    Sonic and the Secret Rings

    An improvement, but still on the wrong track. Go back to sidescrollers, Sonic Team!

    I'm a longtime oldschool Sonic fan, and it just makes me furious to see the kind of crap that's coming from Sega today with a Sonic label. Yes, it uses the Wii controller, but so what? It feels like a racing game, not a... Read Full Review
