Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune – PS3
A birthplace for one of modern gaming’s icons, Uncharted is definitely an interesting product of our time. Does this treasure hunting, guns blazing experience hold up? Or is it as stale as Sir Francis Drake’s corpse?

Backyard Baseball 2003 – PC
I’m reviewing a game today that is as alive in my heart as the moment I touched it at five years old. Does it hold up? Or was five year old me just a stupid kid with no grip on what games were good? YOU DECIDE!

Mario Hoops 3-on-3 – DS
For the Mario anniversary, I’ll be reviewing a basketball game. With my weird review choices, I can’t really say I should be surprised, and neither should you. The fact that Square Enix developed this game does make it a curiosity though…

Donkey Kong – Atari 2600
The first Mario game I ever owned. While all my friends were having a blast with Super Mario Bros. 3, I was knew the real party was here on the Atari 2600, the duct-taped console I had received. I cried myself to sleep most nights — totally unrelated. Anyway, this version of Donkey Kong, surprisingly, rocks.

Mario’s Time Machine – SNES
Mario’s Time Machine, another commonly derided title from Mario’s line of educational games, is a surprisingly honest trip through certain pieces of history. It’s still got that “edutainment” flair that keeps it from entering the pantheon of “real” games, though the experience is more enjoyable than you might think!

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages – Game Boy Color
Woah everyone, Doc Croc finally stopped procrastinating long enough to give us a review of the second game in the Oracles series, The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages.

Final Fantasy VIII – PlayStation
Final Fantasy VIII may not be the worst RPG ever, but it’s one of the most disappointing Final Fantasies. Good graphics and great music can’t save this game from a hackneyed story, annoying characters and a frustrating battle system. Skip it.

Super Mario Kart – SNES
The Mario Kart series is one of video gaming’s most popular franchises, and it all started here, with Super Mario Kart. Critics have heaped on loads of superlatives to this initial installment: best SNES graphics, top console game, one of the greatest of all time. However, I am of a slightly different persuasion…

Mario is Missing! – SNES
Mario is Missing!, one of a handful of educational Mario games released in the early 90’s, features Luigi as the main protagonist for the first time in the series. It may not be much of a “game,” but if you’re in the fourth or fifth grade and need to learn a few things about history and geography, there are certainly worse ways to go about it!
-
Super Princess Peach – DS
Super Princess Peach features our favorite damsel in distress in her first – and so far only – starring role. It may not be the next Luigi’s Mansion or Yoshi’s Island, but Super Princess Peach is endearing and enjoyable in its own way.
