Gameday: Battletoads Double Dragon (NES)
This is probably one of the best original Nintendo system games that were created. It features everything a kid could want in a game, monsters, action, two player co-op, and giant frogs which girls found icky. We couldn't get enough of this back in the day.
Though most games can't stand the test of time, this game is one of the few that have both the nice warm retro feeling and also the feeling of a good game at the same time. Visually its not one of the best things I have ever seen, but I can't really complain about it all that much, it was good for its time and everything looks how it should even now.
The music is actually pretty fun to listen to during the game and it enhances your emotions during game-time which adds to the excitement. The sound effects are pretty awesome too.
Gameplay is very solid even with the very small amount of controls you'll need you can still pull off some pretty cool looking combos and pick up weapons and do battle like a champ. Overall its pretty fun and I find that playing this is actually better than playing some of the newer games out there these days.
My only real complaint about the game is that some of the enemies don't really make much sense. Hands that come out of fans on a spaceship that have balls for arms? Typical retro enemy that makes no sense at all. Thats more of a problem with the times than it is with the game itself though.
All together, I found this game to be a heck of alot of fun and I suggest you check it out.

Game Night: The Chronicles of Riddick Assault on Dark Athena
Sequel to what was a fairly popular game on the original Xbox.... I couldn't help but be fairly disappointed with this game. It looks and feels almost like a slightly better looking version of the original game. It is definitely not Next-Gen gaming at it's best.
The music and voice acting is a bit bland as with the graphics. This review will be fairly short if you can't tell. The story is the strong point of the game, but even that is fairly bland. I wasn't a large fan of the animated movie or the other two live action movies featuring Riddick, but those were far superior to this game. Overall, I believe that this game could have been done much better.
