Poke-ok
So before I start on this review, it should be noted that this is only the second poke-mon game I've ever played, my only other experience being with the more recent Poke-mon Platinum for comparison. So for starters, the graphics on this are actually very good, for an old game boy color game, I would say they're almost as good as the later (newer) games. The games sound is pretty good as well, though here are times when it feels like the music cuts out for a tad bit too long, when a poke-mon comes out and gives it's sound. Addictiveness if max, how can anyone not get hooked on it? Story and depth are both nice, it;s you pretty standard far, from what of it I experienced thus far, it's the same thing that's used in all the games, sine it's pretty much the same thing, only with locations or names, or other smaller details changed for each game. Despite that it still feels like a fresh new game. The lowest part for me is the difficulty, it's a lot higher than I was expecting coming off of Platinum. For me, it's not the actually battles that's the hardest part, but being able to afford anything in the game. The amount of Poke-dollars, or whatever else the in game currency is called , that you get from trainer and gym battles is quite low, and you don't get any from wild poke-battles. I find myself stuck in the position of needing to buy poke-balls but not being able to afford any due to getting so little from the battles. Other than that I've only encountered two other things that detract from the game, the biggest is the time settings, they don't work unless you leave the game running. Every time I go into the game I have to manually set the time and day, and at the rate it's going it'll remain night time there for a very long time, unless I 'cheat' and set it to different time that what it is in RL. So that kind of messes the game up a bi... Read the rest of this Review

Worst Battleship Ever
Ok, anything you thought you knew about Battleship, should just be thrown out the window if you play this game. It's nothing like the classic board game at all. The opposing side gets sonar, and are of effect guns, and often times is able to fire off two, or three, or even five attacks on it's turn. it's far two easy for it to find all your ships while it;s increasingly harder to find theirs. That's in part to the fact that while they can rotate their ships to pint up and down, you can't, your stuck placing your ships lengthwise only. The in game music hurt my ears and was pretty crappy, the in game animations of the shots going back and forth, only serves to make your death slow and painful, as the computer unerringly zero's in one ship at a time.

Old memories
My first computer game I ever played was break out, and this game so reminds me of those times. The graphics are par for the corse considering how old it is., The sound is awesome listening to all the beeps and tones a blocks are hit. The game is very addicting, one can get absorbed into it for hours if your not careful. Though there's really not any story or depth to speak of, the difficulty ratting;s in the middle, the controls are easy enough to learn, it's only the stages and learning how the ball moves that get harder.

Big Bots
Ok, being a big fan of robot combat I just had to check this game out. In the end though I have to give it a low overall rating due to a few things. While the graphics are good for what you'd expect from a game boy era game, and the sound was great. I had to give the addictiveness a low score. The game didn't really draw me in to want to keep playing, I was ready to put it down after only a few fights. That was in part due to the games difficulty witch is fairly high. The options you have to make your bot with all seemed to be really under-powered compared to the computer opponents. Also this game pretty much has no story or depth, with a low amount of starting cash to make your bot with, and getting even less from fights, be prepared to die hard and often. If you're unlucky there will be many restarts for you too, when you get into a cycle of having a destroyed weapon, yet can't afford to buy a new one, and the game won't let you go into a fight without it to even try to earn any more funds. In the end this game is really only for the most die hard bot fans, hard to learn controls, overly difficult opponents, and only having a one shot try at making your bot, all add up for a frustrating game.
