Woo! Achievement Unlocked: 1000 Posts!

Hey all, given that there's a great community here around retro and modern gaming giving the greats covers they deserve (so they don't catch colds!) I figured I should share with you something I've been working on for more than a year now - my series of game reviews! Now I know, reviewers are dime a dozen. I try to put as much care and detail into each of my reviews to give the reader the most informative outlook on a game I can. Think of it like RetrowareTV in text form!  ::)

this isn't really intended as a plug for my work as much as it is just wanting you guys to check out some of my work and generate some discussion. In many cases I write reviews for the games I do because there just aren't any reviews out for some of them and the ones that do have I just felt like voicing my own opinions on. As I'm a student for journalism and I pride myself at writing, hopefully you guys might like my approch. Retro gaming is my true passion.

This is my site: http://satoshimatrix.wordpress.com/

Anyway, this is what I've amassed in written reviews from oldest to newest:

Let me know what you guys think! Hopefully I'll get a few new subscribers but I'm mostly seeking discussion about these various games.

Thanks for any interest! I love feedback!

That was a mouthful, but "and the incredibly for the time Star Fox" ?  Lost me after that one  ;D.
