If you only play one free 2D-based side-scrolling MMORPG Korean made game this year, make it Maple Story.

There is no real justifiable reason to write a review about this game, since at the time of writing, it is free. But here’s a short review: The graphics are cute anime characters, complete with cute anime enemies, tog... Read Full Review

Chrono Trigger

This is the definitive RPG game from the masters of RPGs; Squaresoft, and should not be missed by any fan of genre.

The year was 1995; the golden era of gaming was coming to an end, and one was company where about to release one RPG rule them all. Coming fresh of Final Fantasy VI (III in the US) & Secret of Mana, they decided to make ... Read Full Review

Kid Klown no Crazy Chase

Hope you haven't got coulrophobia, because then this is not a game for you.

In this game you play as a clown named Klown. So in case you didn't know what coulrophobia was, its the fear of clowns. This is a fun little game, which probably got overlooked by many people. In the game you run from th... Read Full Review

SOCOM II: U.S. Navy SEALs

Great multiplayer.

In SOCOM you play as a Navy Seal, and must solve different world problems. You command a group of 4 people (you included), and must dissolve different crises. If you buy the version with the included headset (which you'd... Read Full Review

Seiken Densetsu 3

The last great RPG for the SNES.

Despite not understanding any Japanese, at all I still went ahead and imported it. I was not disappointed. The only reason I ever got trough this game, was by guides found on the internet. Its just like Secret of Mana on... Read Full Review

Takahashi Meijin no Bouken Jima

A clone of the good kind.

If you ever played Wonderboy, you'll probably notice more than a passing similarity, and with good reason, its the same game. It just couldn't be called Wonderboy for legal reasons. So, is it a good game? Yep! It's you... Read Full Review

Plok!

Quintessential flabbergast.

Me use big words! Now on to the review. The only reason I ever got to play this game was by pure chance; it was together with two other games in a 3 games package. I really wanted the two other, one being Yoshi's Island... Read Full Review

The Neverhood

"Story about good. Story about bad."

"Hello. Me JSGD. Me JSGD 2003. You read this, you do good. JSGD happy. You play Neverhood you do more good. And look out for bad. JSGD knows, bad is always where you forget to look." The is pretty much your ty... Read Full Review

Axelay

If only other games could have bosses as half as good as the ones in Axelay.

This game isn't frightfully different from Gradius, but still fun. Plot: Earth is invaded by aliens, and you must save it. Okay, the plot isn't he most original in the world. But basically you fly through different leve... Read Full Review

NBA Jam Tournament Edition

The only basketball game worth playing.

Now, I'm not a sports fan, not in real life, nor in games. So it was with some reservation that I began playing this game. However, all my doubt was whisked away. This is by far the best basketball game I have ever playe... Read Full Review

Marble Madness

Short, frustrating and addicting, just live my review, expect for the addicting part.

This was been released for a plethora of systems, and started it's life in the arcade, where you used a trackball. I have actually played this game on a couple of systems, but chose the NES, because it were there I playe... Read Full Review

Uniracers

Honestly, who doesn't like unicycles?

Uniracers/Unirally is a fun little, well, basically racing game, where you go from right to left, left to right, up-down and surprise, down-up. You could basically see it as excite bike for the SNES, just completely diff... Read Full Review

Space Funky B.O.B.

Something is rotten on the asteroid of Anciena.

B.O.B. is just your ordinary intergalatical teenage robot, who just wants to borrow his dad's car, so he can pick up his date it style. However B.OB. does not have the navigation skills of a R2-D2 unit and soon crashes h... Read Full Review

Dragon's Lair

Left. Right. Left. Right. Right!? RIGHT!!!!!!! I DID press the f....

Ahhhh, the laserdisk. Seemed so revolutionary at the time; that time being the beginning 1980s. I actually didn't play this game until 1989, but still, in the area of the NES, it was still impressive. The plot; You: Knig... Read Full Review

G-NOME

Home in time for tea and medals.

1997 came and went, and so did G-NOME. It was a mech game, back when mechs where still where cool. It wasn't fast like quake, released the year before, but rather slow and methodical. This most likely turned off many pla... Read Full Review

Devil May Cry (Platinum)

Quantum physics is hard, this is Devil May Cry.

Solved the mystery about Schrödinger's cat? Disproved Einstein's theory of relativity? Slaughtered Maxwell's demon? And now your up for a real challenge? Then step up to the fray as Dante, half demon, half human, half... Read Full Review

Front Mission

Even if you don't understand Japanese, it still a game worthy of being picked up.

The only reason I picked this up was because it was sporting a Squaresoft, and I had enjoyed plenty of their RPGs. This however is not a RPG, but a turn-based strategy game, which is good because it is in Japanese and I ... Read Full Review

Metal Slug

I would have been a millionaire if it hadn't been for Metal Slug.

So one day I was down at the swimming pool, which had an arcade, though not at the pool. They had three arcade machines, one of which was known as a Neo-Geo. The game playing on the machine was King of Fighters (also a g... Read Full Review

Rainbow Islands

Betcha' didn't know this was the sequel to Bubble Bobble.

So what does this have in common with Bubble Bobble? Absolutely nothing except for the developer. It this game you play as a / two boy(s). The main principle of the game is to shot rainbows and proceed upwards. When you ... Read Full Review
