Review Round-Up - October

Beware the bat. His game ranks at the top of the
heap in the haunted month of October.

The month of Halloween is complete. A whole slew of reviews were written and posted last month-- twelve in all. We started strong with Golden Sun: Dark Dawn (8.5), moved onward with our momentum with The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition (8.25), went retro with Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins which earned a 7.5, had our first hardware review with the Wii (8.0), murdered Ganado, Majini, and other psychopaths in Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D which also got an 8.0, hyped up Sonic Generations with two Sonic the Hedgehog games (Sonic 4 - 6.75, Sonic Rush - 8.0), partied hardy with Mario in Mario Party 3 which received a gift of 7.25, Final Fantasy Tactics A2 scored well with a 9.0, our game of the month in Batman: Arkham City flew into my heart and retrieved a 9.5, Tetris: Axis stacked up an 8.0, and finally, the latest Professor Layton game netted a 9.0. Overall, a busy month at SuperPhillip Central.
