• Strictly a Chrono Trigger review
  Since my semi-retirement from video games, I feel like I've lost touch with some of the new games of today. A lot has happened in my life (which is why you'll find a 2+ year gap between a couple of my reviews), and have focused on school and other things. But I've been meaning to get this review up for a long time, and it's high time I did that. I'll try not to go "nerdy" here, but this is my personal favorite video game, not only on the Super NES, but of all time.

The graphics suck compared to whats out there today, but if your looking for a game that will keep you interested all the way through to the end, than this is definitely a smart buy. Chrono Trigger is also a fun game with many alternative endings.

• The Weak Link of the Re-Releases
  If I had enjoyed Final Fantasy IV a bit more than I did, the review would be 5 stars. There's nothing inherently wrong with the game, it just didn't give me the same feeling as the other classic Final Fantasies have. Along with 6, 4 is an FF that was well made but just inexplicably unable to draw me in (the opposite of FF7, which I got into while I played but seems so shabby when I look back at it). 4 is certainly for someone, but it's not for me, you'll have to compare it against your own tastes.more info
