Secret of Evermore Review

Secret of EvermoreThis game resembles Secret of Mana in so many ways . . . but this isn't a bad thing.That game had one enjoyable battle system; Evermore's is that with the twists of alchemy and currency.Alchemy was a unique system that required one to gather ingredients for the casting of a certain spell--the more powerful requiring much rarer items in higher quantities.This intrigued me to no end in SOE's heyday, and still conjures faint chills of nostalgia upon reflection.I mention currency because the fact that money types changed was, for some indescribable reason, very cool.It didn't mean much to the overall game experience, but its very existence was so unique that I very much enjoyed it.Finally, there is a shop relying almost solely upon barter in the game--you have to trade numerous items to acquire special relics that enhance you power or skill.This is a, though not required, helpful diversion and serves to add a little more innovative flair to an already shining game.This isn't the only source of these relics, but many can be obtained there.If an action RPG sporting a solid battle system, unique humor reliant on made up movies, and a diverse twist on magic are your thing, then this game delivers a 5 star experience.

Blackthorne Review

Blackthornealot like looking into the sun durning a blizzard, you must learn or you will get burned.Think Abe's Oddyseey/Exodous, only you get guns, mines, and the ability to walk, jump, and climb latters like Flashback.So you take the offensive yet you die often.A puzzle action strategy game.Way better than Abe and more charesmatic than Flashback.

Soul Blazer Review

Soul BlazerSince I had enjoyed Actraiser so much (Soul Blazer is loosely based in the same world as Actraiser and made by the same company), I rushed out to buy Soul Blazer when it came out in the early 90's.I hadn't played Final Fantasy yet so this game with 8 swords, 8 armors, 8 magics, and up to 40 items seemed huge to me.I look back on it now and it seems simplistic compared to todays RPG's.This doesn't change the fact that this is one of my all time favorite RPG's.The music, story and to some extent the game play (not the boss battles) put this game ahead of all the rest.I remember crying at the ending when I first saw it.Not because it was sad, but because it was very moving for me at the time.
This is the first game in a series by the way: the 2nd is Illusion of Gaia, and the third is Terranigma (which was released in English for the PAL version of the Super NES).It is a much better game than Illusion of Gaia IMHO.
Overall a very highly recommended game.

Super Smash TV Review

Super Smash TVthis game like others have said is hard. for it's day it was pretty face paced and does require a degree of strategy.Since there are so many different enemies you have to devise a strategy that works best to take them on...not only that they will mix the types later on so that one trick pony idea won't work.yeah this is one of my favorite SNES games.Even though my brother and I beat this game as many times as you can the replay is still great.

Illusion of Gaia Review

Illusion of GaiaYou begin as a boy, in a small town wanting to simply travel the world out of simple curiosity. You then travel the world (eventually finding two other souls to join you), pretty much going to the 7 wonders of the world, and beating monsters, solving puzzles and riddles with new skills you learn in your journey. Its a very good game for your brain. This game also spares you travel time of having to travel from point A to point B, by just having a map displaying where the heroes are going. No travel time is to make up for the fact that it is not always obvious what to do, so it may take you days to figure out simple puzzles. This an incredible game for learning purposes, as well as its fun gameplay much like the Zelda games (weapon, special item, run and map buttons). With that being said, the buttons are configured nothing like Zelda! It has a very disappointing configuration, but that's why it has a mode where you can configure your own buttons!

Double Dragon II: The Revenge Review

Double Dragon II: The RevengeAnyone that has a Nintendo Entertainment System and two controllers should have this game. It's a co-op beat-em-up and one of the finest 8-bit games ever created. You play as one of two brothers looking for your kidnapped girlfriend.

The levels are great. You fight through factories, car lots, and rooftops. The rooftops has to be one of the best levels on the game as it contains a platform feeling to it. The game features a variety of weapons, from knives to baseball bats. Nothing says beat-em-up though like team damage and throwing your friend off a building to his death. The only awkward thing with the game is the kicking. When you kick, you are actually kicking backwards. It's not a glitch, but it's something that has to get used to.

The game is fairly long and difficult, but not too difficult where you can't complete the game. The ending is extremely hard, but that's how games worked back then: hard bosses. Any fan on beat-em-ups, arcade games, or co-op gameplay will enjoy the magic displayed in this classic game.
