Retro Reviews
Reviews for retro gaming. Games of the past.
Games of the Past REVIEW: Sands of Destruction
In this RPG for the DS, you are sent on a journey to destroy the world. Does Sands of Destruction follow through from its interesting premise?

In honor of the impending release of Fire Emblem: Awakening, let’s take a look back at Fire Emblem’s only GameCube outing.
Games of the Past REVIEW: D2
Can an otherworldly story of human salvation save D2’s haphazardly mixed RPG, FPS, survival horror, and exploration adventure elements?

Feel like getting 50,000 again?

Death and frustration abound in Shadowgate, but a surprisingly rewarding experience lurks within – if you can survive that long.

Did the simple approach work or leave Sonic in a vibrant mess?

Chibiterasu is so cute!

It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves.
SECOND OPINION: Glory of Heracles
A game of not-quite-mythic proportions.
Games of the Past REVIEW: Glory of Heracles
Does this JRPG live up to the heroism and glory its title proclaims?
