    Space Invaders is a surprisingly fun and refreshing title in a market of shallow releases. Its simple gameplay has been updated but not tainted, making for a game that will have you hooked for at least a little while. Read more

    Turok:Rage Wars, the newest member of the Turok family is clearly the most violent, relentless and unforgiving title of the series. Plain and simple its kill or be killed. Eliminate all resistance. Read more

    NFL Blitz 2001 is a fun game and I enjoyed playing it. It's fast-paced and there are a lot of touchdowns and vicious hitting. The game, though, feels like NFL Blitz 2000 with new rosters and schedules. Read more

Pokémon Snap

Pokémon Snap is a Nintendo 64 video game developed by HAL Laboratory with Pax Softnica me. The game is published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64. It is part of the Pokémon series. This is the first Pokémon game to get a Virtual Console release, and the first Virtual Console title which has been modified to take advantage of features of the Wii console. The default name of the main character, Todd, was changed to Todd Snap, likely due to retcon as he was called Snap in the home video versions of the Pokémon anime. Pokémon Snap was originally revealed as a Nintendo 64DD game.

Features

The game is featured with 63 of the original generation of 151 Pokémon. Todd Snap, a fledgling Pokémon photographer, is summoned by Professor Oak to an unusual island to help him with a report. Oak needs quality pictures to accompany his scientific findings, and knows from past experience that Todd is the right person for the job. Pokémon Island, which contains a variety of climatic and geographic regions, is a place where Pokémon live relatively undisturbed by humans. Using a motorized, amphibious buggy named the Zero-One, Todd explores the island and takes photographs of the wide variety of Pokémon that inhabit its environments. From Professor Oak’s research hub, the player can select between the game’s levels and features using a menu system. The path through the levels is linear, similar to a rail shooter. Up to 60 pictures can be taken per visit to a course. The game features seven levels: Beach, Tunnel, Volcano, River, Cave, Valley, and the special course "Rainbow Cloud." However, the staggered acquisition of items from Professor Oak ensures that the player must re-explore the courses to discover new material.
