Zone Of The Enders: The Fist Of Mars
Unfortunately, Konami “ended” this series too soon… Ah, Zone of the Enders. The lovable mech-based action games from the PS2 era which time (and Konami) has forgotten. As fate and/or luck would have it, this series also happened to received a GBA entry. However, being a fan of the action based PS2 titles does not necessarily translate to being a fan of this entry. It is common knowledge that the GBA is nowhere near as powerful as a PS2, and because of this Konami took a different approach to the series: a tactics based strategy RPG. While this is a wild deviation from the formula that fans loved, elements of…

Now Playing: 1/1/2015
It’s been a little over a month since the last update, so what are we playing at Portable Review? Well, I am still playing Freedom Wars. I have a few new local players I am guiding through the main story and showing the ropes to and I’m still trying to fully upgrade some of my gear, but Oltatum fights are annoying. Aside from that, I have treated myself to a little Christmas present or two. You see, Konami finally released Suikoden II on North American PSN and along with it, they made the original fully supported by the Vita and Vita TV…err Playstation TV. <–Oh yea! I got one of…

Castlevania: Portrait Of Ruin
It’s no secret that I love the Castlevania series as a whole. Ever since my friend had the original on his NES, I fell in love with the games. It’s quite an anomaly as I wasn’t even a big fan of vampires or anything of the sort. There was just something about a guy with the courage to fight a supernatural creature with nothing but a whip. Who does that? The Belmont clan, that’s who.

Castlevania: Dawn Of Sorrow
Dawn of Sorrow is better than Symphony of the Night. Now that I’ve blasphemed everyone’s favorite Castlevania, I can tell you exactly what makes this game so good.

Castlevania: The Adventure
Released during the early days of the original Game Boy, Castlevania Adventure has many good and bad aspects worth mentioning. First off, the game has some really top-notch music – some of the best for the Game Boy.

Castlevania: Aria Of Sorrow
Before I start, I’ve got to mention that I’m a huge Castlevania fan. As such, this review may be a little biased and feature comparisons to previous Castlevania games on this system. I will, however, try to be as unbiased as possible.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
I’m not really a fan of the new show; I’ve only seen it a few times, but I’m definitely a fan of the old shows and the old games. I used to watch the old shows every chance I could when I was young, but it wasn’t until I was older, that I actually got chance to play the old games. I managed to get through those without much challenge and this is the same. There are plenty of enemies however, and depending on your difficulty setting, there can be even more.

Castlevania: Circle Of The Moon
Castlevania. A name well-recognized by gamers of all ages. As Konami’s first Castlevania game on the Gameboy Advance, Circle of the Moon had a lot to live up to. Did it succeed? Read on to find out.
