Riviera: The Promised Land (GBA) – Another hard fought entry into my Game Boy Advance CIB RPG collection, I am pretty stoked to give this game a whirl. Interestingly, this same game was slightly remixed and later released for the PSP. I have heard nothing but good things. I got …
See the rest of the Review a Great Game Day entries at Review A Great Game Day.com! It is a fairly well known fact that movie/TV show based video games are almost exclusively garbage. Rarely did a blockbuster movie, or hit TV show have a videogame counterpart that could match …
The year was 1993. I distinctly remember being in a local Zellers store and seeing a strange sight in the glass display case. It was familiar and completely alien all at the same time. The design queues and packaging matched my oh so familiar Nintendo Action Set I had received five …
