Psychonauts
Spend all of your free time in Psychonauts camp! But don't forget your brain there when you leave!
Psychonauts is the brain-child of Tim Schafer, creator of classic adventure games like Day of the Tentacle and Grim Fandango. It took four long years to develop, but the game was worth the wait. It isn't very much like t... Read Full Review

Thief II: The Metal Age (Trapezoide Box)
Thief II plays it safe: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. In this case, it is a great decision by the developers.
So, you ask, is Thief II really worth the effort of finding and buying it? The answer is YES! Thief II begins right after the first game, Garrett is being persued by a corrupt town marshal and must find the answer to ... Read Full Review

Thief: The Dark Project
A game that defined a new genre: stealth adventure.
Thief is a revolutionary game. It simply brought new life to the first person shooter genre. Incredibly, with just 10 years of existence, first person shooters were already suffering from the fate of repeated formulas an... Read Full Review

Daytona USA 2001
Daytonaaaa.... let's go away!
The classic finally comes to the Dreamcast... OK, it's already been a while, but come on, let me enjoy the moment... Daytona USA is one heck of an arcade racer. It was released shortly after its debut for the Satu... Read Full Review

Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean
A fine crafted RPG that's worth your time and it deserves its place as one of the Gamecube's finest.
Baten Kaitos didn't make much of a noise when it was being released. It was one of the rare RPGs for the Gamecube, but it wasn't aiming to be a hype fest such as other big-budget game. Some people went on to buy the g... Read Full Review

Super Mario World: Super Mario Bros. 4
A classic that will be remembered forever...
Who's Mario, you ask? If you're doing that, you can't be from Earth. It's a household name. People recognize him more often that Mickey Mouse... When it was time for Nintendo to roll out their new system, the SNES, wa... Read Full Review

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
A true classic that didn't get the recognition it deserved.
It was 1996. The Nintendo 64 is a baby and the Super Nintendo is its toothless grandpa. Then, Squaresoft and Nintendo, in their last real partnership, bring to the old system a game that would spawn the madness of follow... Read Full Review

Final Fight: Streetwise
Final Fight Streetwise isn't a bad game as people make it out to be. But it isn't great, either.
Final Fight was 'the' thing over at arcades and the SNES during the 90s. Everyone loved it. All the characters had their own moves and the first game went on to become a classic. It quickly received two sequels, whic... Read Full Review

Dragon Quest VIII: Sora to Umi to Daichi to Norowareshi Himegimi
Dragon Quest VIII is a beatiful game and a great way to start a new series, even if you never heard of the past games.
Dragon Quest is the name of the RPG series that has been around ever since the NES. In the U.S, the name was, until this game, Dragon Warrior, because of some legal matter. Now, all things settled, the name is the same a... Read Full Review

Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising
The formula is kept for a great continuation for an awesome series.
Advance Wars 2 doesn't stray from the original plan: you have to destroy all enemy units or take over their HQ. But that doesn't exactly mean the game is bad or 'more of the same'. Like the original game, you'll be f... Read Full Review

Advance Wars
It's an innocent looking game that made its own genre for many others to follow on the GBA strategy scene.
Advance Wars is a game that will hook you in and not let go until you finish it. What more can I say that other people didn't say already? Once you get yourself accustomed to the gameplay, the game will just bind you ... Read Full Review

Battalion Wars
A cool game shadowed by the other big games released at the time.

Robotech: Battlecry
It's a cool trip down memory lane. But in the way, you'll run into not so great memories...<br />
Robotech has been around forever. Almost as long as Mobile Suit Gundam if I'm not mistaken. It is a legend. And game developers know it. So what do they do about it once they nab the license? Yep, they make a game as qui... Read Full Review

Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes
Metal Gear? Again? Yes! And it's GOOD!
Snake is back. Well, kinda. What? My reviews all say 'kinda'?! Come on, this time I REALLY mean it, Snake is back, in a KINDA way. It's not a brand new adventure, but more of a re-envisioning. Metal Gear Solid: The Tw... Read Full Review

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords
If you like Star Wars and RPGs, BIOWARE does not fail us. That's a 6x0 record for then.

Lucidity
Proving that a beautiful art style is not enough to carry a game.
