    Ouch, that hurt, Mickey.

    Disney's Magical Mirror Starring Mickey Mouse

    Ouch, that hurt, Mickey.

    Ever since I was 4 or 5 I've absolutely adored Mickey Mouse and all of his friends (call me a wuss, I don't care) and enjoyed to some extent his few forays on the SNES. Magical Quest was a somewhat inspired play on the ... Read Full Review

    Not an ambitious retake of the series by any stretch, but it's still a quality game.

    Wild Arms: The 4th Detonator

    Not an ambitious retake of the series by any stretch, but it's still a quality game.

    Wild Arms 4 is not an ambitious retake of the series by any stretch, but it's still a quality game. It has decent characters, a fairly original, fun battle system, and some really nice platformer touches. WA4 is a great... Read Full Review

    Given time, Cthulhu can only get to you.

    Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth

    Given time, Cthulhu can only get to you.

    Back when I worked in electronics at Walmart I put this game out in the display cases and it caught my eye. I've never been a huge horror game fan and have only toyed with the likes of Resident Evil and Silent Hill. I ... Read Full Review

    The endless number of flaws make me want to hate this game, but I just can't seem to.

    Indigo Prophecy

    The endless number of flaws make me want to hate this game, but I just can't seem to.

    "In theory" is probably the best phrase to describe the various aspects of Indigo Prophecy (Fahrenheit in Europe). In theory, these gameplay mechanics are intuitive; in theory, these characters are interesting; in theor... Read Full Review

    Kids should be skipping school to play this...

    Bully

    Kids should be skipping school to play this...

    Poor Rockstar. Sure they've been made dirty stinking rich off the GTA franchise, but it seems like if they don't have the letters GTA in every title, the games just don't sell that well. Regardless, Bully is the true w... Read Full Review

    If interesting, different, and fun = bad, you're even worse than the slimes!

    Big Sky Trooper

    If interesting, different, and fun = bad, you're even worse than the slimes!

    I remember playing through the majority of this as a kid and loving it. I play it today and still find it interesting. For an RPG, it's really quite fascinating. Well, sure, you do a lot of the same old/same old, but ... Read Full Review

    Squenix: Murdering nostalgia since the merge.

    Musashi: Samurai Legend

    Squenix: Murdering nostalgia since the merge.

    If you come to this game unaware of the original, you may enjoy it. Afterall, it's an okay, albeit repetitive hack n slash... but then that's the thing. The original Musashi was an action/rpg for all intensive purposes... Read Full Review

    The reason to keep your PS1 hooked up.

    Tombi!

    The reason to keep your PS1 hooked up.

    (Note: This game is one of less than 5 ps1 games that simply don't work on a ps2, therefore hold onto that old ps1! I keep mine hooked up for this game alone.) The whole platformer/rpg thing had already been done in ... Read Full Review

    Best RPG on the PS2.  Worth every cent you'll pay for it.

    Dragon Quest VIII: Sora to Umi to Daichi to Norowareshi Himegimi

    Best RPG on the PS2. Worth every cent you'll pay for it.

    Simply put, this has got to be the best RPG of the year, and in my humble opinion, the absolute best on the system. Dragon Quest VIII is built around one simple concept: exploration... and in this regard it not only hit... Read Full Review

    Okage: The Backtrack King.

    Boku to Maou (PlayStation 2 the Best)

    Okage: The Backtrack King.

    I'm still not sure why this game is called "Okage." I guess Stan: the Shadow King, didn't really roll off the tongue. Well, I could go into depth like I usually do, but I don't feel like it. So I'm just going to say... Read Full Review

    Psychonauts offers one of the greatest experiences to be sure; it's just not always the greatest game.

    Psychonauts

    Psychonauts offers one of the greatest experiences to be sure; it's just not always the greatest game.

    Tim Schafer is brilliant. Two minutes into this game, I thought it would be an average platformer with some cartoony charm. Luckily, the whole atmosphere here is as good as any Cartoon Network show, but with an adult-e... Read Full Review

    Hippa Linda

    Stretch Panic is essentially a nice little demo and that's about it.

    I don't know why I always felt the need to pay attention to most games Treasure used to put out. For a game developing company with a name like that, they sure do release some quirky... yet average games. Stretch P... Read Full Review

    Wild Arms is a good game.  Not too easy, not too hard.  Not all that great, but nowhere near bad.

    Wild Arms

    Wild Arms is a good game. Not too easy, not too hard. Not all that great, but nowhere near bad.

    Meet the Dreamchasers. Rudy is the good-natured quiet-type, that ultimately causes more harm than good to those around him. Jack is the weathered bad ass treasure-hunter that has some mysterious past. Cecilia is your ... Read Full Review

    Simply oozes quality.

    Dreamfall: The Longest Journey

    Simply oozes quality.

    I have and likely always will have a shoddy PC. My graphics cards are just about sufficient enough to handle a few hundred colors and some low-grade 3D graphics. But that's completely fine with me; I've always been a c... Read Full Review

    An ambitious, character-driven plot.  Which with a fairly poor translation ends up being... pretty damn mediocre.

    Illusion of Gaia

    An ambitious, character-driven plot. Which with a fairly poor translation ends up being... pretty damn mediocre.

    Soul Blazer was a great game, and easily one of the best action/rpgs ever conceived. The graphics were abysmal, the storyline was the definition of trite and ill-inspired, but the fun factor was there (and some of the b... Read Full Review

    Hoshi no Kirby 3

    For such a rare game, Dreamland 3's a bit of a stinker.

    Kirby Superstar was easily the best platformer I played as a kid, and still holds up today. It had 7-8 different games, some minigames testing reflexes and button mashing, other full games testing with skill, puzzles an... Read Full Review
