There’s a mini Layton 2 preview after the score. I couldn’t get very far, and what details I give could easily have been deduced without playing the game, so I didn’t bother to give it its own section.
Professor Layton is an anomaly for me. In my eyes, it is one of the most unique games [...]

Virtual Console Review: Kirby 64.
Posted in News, Reviews on March 5, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Kirby 64, where the strong eat the weak, and the weak gets brutalized by pink cotton candy of agony. Your flesh could very well be the bloody mustard on Kirby’s snack cake! Enjoy the pleasure of drilling a hole in your victims’ cranium, and suck out their brain through a straw. This is the sick [...]
Virtual Console Review: Ninja Gaiden 3.
Posted in News, Reviews on February 29, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Ryu’s been framed with the murder of his friend/lover Irene, and now it is up to him to avenge his friend, uncover the truth, and really piss you off. Run, jump, slash, use ninja skills, and slash some more in this action platformer for the virtual console.
While Ninja Gaiden 3 is only the 3rd game [...]
Virtual Console – Harvest Moon review
Posted in News, Reviews on February 28, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I remember the fond memories of seeing Harvest Moon in an issue of Nintendo Power. It’s unique premise of running a farm had never been done before. While everyone else eagerly awaits Mario Kart 64, I was drooling over Harvest Moon. What was once a tiny niche title coming out at the twilight of the [...]
Barnyard Blast Review
Posted in News, Reviews on February 25, 2008 | 2 Comments »
This little piggy went to market.
This little piggy stayed at home.
This little piggy had roast beef.
This little piggy had none.
This little piggy made Simon Belmont check to see if his genitals are still intact.
This game is a Castlevania parody of hogzilla proportions! The story — and I swear I didn’t make this up — is [...]
Virtual Console Lords of Thunder review.
Posted in News, Reviews on February 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Man, I remember seeing Lords of Thunder in a magazine back when I was in 5th grade. A knight is a blue armor wielding the sacred Blade of Overcompensation, slicing evildoer into bits of bacon. No, actually, you’re suppose to fry them into crispy Mc Nuggets, but since he had a sword, you can’t blame [...]
Fire Emblem: Sword of Seals review.
Posted in News, Reviews on February 22, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Enigmatic Man: “For what reason have you awakened a demon dragon?”
Zephiel: “Who are you?”
Enigmatic Man: “…Dragon.”
And thus ended Fire Emblem for the GBA. For those of you still in the dark, the first Fire Emblem we received is in fact a prequel to the first GBA game, Fire Emblem: Sword of Seals. If you haven’t [...]
Mother 3 Review
Posted in News, Reviews on February 19, 2008 | 1 Comment »
The mere mention of Mother 3 will send any devoted Earthbound fan into a wild drooling frenzy. The game’s protracted development cycle, cancellation, and revival almost rivals that of Duke Nukem Forever. Unlike ol’ Duke there, this game eventually did make it out of the gate in Japan. NOA, being the gracious and wise people [...]
Contra 4 Review
Posted in News, Reviews on February 18, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I lay there in the grass, silently stalking my prey — observing his every move. He was a lone guard stationed at a strategic checkpoint. Although he was alone, he was also well armed. If I don’t make a clean kill, the sound of combat could give away my presence; or he could easily trigger [...]
