I still meet people who insist Final Fantasy IV has one of the greatest videogame stories of all time. It doesn't, but the grip this game has on a certain generation of people fascinates me.

Gunstar Super Heroes – Second Opinion
Comparing Gunstar Super Heroes to We Love Katamari doesn't make much sense to me. They are both cash-in sequels that rehash their originals, but I think there's a big difference between a rehash that comes out 12 months later and one that comes out 12 years later.
Gunstar Super Heroes – Review
Almost every boss—as ever, the beating heart of a Treasure level—is recycled from GH. Players keep expecting some kind of pay-off for those of us willing to accept these throwbacks as 'knowing references', but it doesn't come, and they're not. They're insipid and annoying regurgitations.

Anybody who's played Bejeweled knows this drill, but the game is no less fun for that.
Zooo – Consumer Guide
Parents have almost nothing to worry about. As a puzzle game, Zooo features even less violence than most E-rated games do. There's no nudity or sexual content. However, there is a panda that sometimes says, "Whew! Damn it!" when one's game is over. Puzzle game fans won't find this game […]
