I know we all wanted more horror games on the Nintendo64 here since the system got a bad rap for a machine for kiddies but you should still go no where near this weak translation of the average Playstation game thanks to the horrible control set up and visuals. "Best to forget about this nightmare!"

BATTLE 64 Person of Lordly Calibar (Atlas/Quest, October 2000)Here is a great 256 Meg war simulation with an excellent storyline and medieval style graphics. The battles unfortunately are too simple and don't take much effort but you still have to make a lot of important decisions which greatly effect the game's out come. The graphics are excellent here with tons of great artwork and the music is also pretty damn good. This is a must for you Ogre Battle fans out there.

64 PAPERBOY (Midway/Atari, 1999)
The famous Atari game makes a surprise pitstop on the N64 here and there are some good and bad points about it. The game is a easy to get into action title with fitting but fairly basic 3D looking graphics, simple controls, and solid background music. Paperboy64 is also noticeable easier too so it is a good but routine upgrade of the classic paper throwing arcade game.

75 PAPER MARIO (Nintendo/Intelligent Systems, February 2001)
Finally! There is another Super Mario RPG! The last RPG starring Mario was SquareSoft's final project on a Nintendo system before they jumped ship to Sony. It's very easy to get into Paper Mario plus it's even harder to stop playing thanks to a good mixture of action and turn based battles. The paper thin graphics look a little silly and so is the story but they still work well. Although the game play is nothing new you should still play it if you are looking for a RPG for the N64.

77 PERFECT DARK (Nintendo/Rare, May 2000)
Perfect Dark is Rare's 256 Meg semi-sequel to their popular Goldeneye 007 title (minus the whole 007 license of course) but is it any good? The whole FPS genre is still not one of my favourites but PD does give you a lot of cool options like a huge single player game and a massive multi-player game with human or computer controlled opponents. You play as the sexy secret agent Joanna Dark and it is your mission to take down the multinational crime company called Data Dyne by any means necessary. Sadly, the N64 Expansion Pak is needed for 1 player mode and some multi-player options so unless you have one you'll only be open to just some of the game here. The game looks great for a N64 game with a large amount of detail and on screen action even if there is some slowdown here and there. If you loved Goldeneye then you'll also like Perfect Dark as well but the game's out there story and choppy frame-rates can be annoy certain players.

60 PILOTWINGS 64 (Nintendo, September 30, 1996)
One of the Nintendo64's launch titles and the first game I got with my N64 and did it suck. Don't get me wrong, this strange flying simulator comes with realistic graphics with great 3D backdrops but there is no real intensity here in this game and some of the levels are just pointless flying around. Pilotwings 64 isn't a good title for action fans but it still plays well. I don't think there will be another Pilotwings though.

Unfortunately, although the game is really unique, less than half of the original 151 pokemon are actually in this game here.

Here is the first ever fully 3D RPG on the N64 console and it has a cool grid battle system too so this one shows some promise. In the game you help a young magician named Brian search for his missing father but his mission soon becomes much bigger has he tries to recover the stones of Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth. I felt this game was a little underrated because it was still fairly challenging and the graphics were very colourful too. The only thing going against it is the weak storyline and confusing 3D game play thanks to the similar looking environments. If you're looking for a good RPG with some nice visuals then Quest 64 shouldn't disappoint but the game also has zero replay value once finished especially after seeing that crappy ending.

Although the graphics are really foggy and the music is very plain, the game easily makes up for it with 15 different levels and fun multi-player modes. It's the cool little bonuses too that sky rocket the replay value like timing your lock on shots to take out multiple enemies for bigger points or earning secret medals to unlock some more goodies for the VS games. You can't forget about the awesome multi-player games either that really shows off those 4 ports in front of your N64.

Super Mario 64 is a long and challenging 64 meg game in a fully interactive 3D universe with 15 different worlds to explore and master. Unlike Nintendo's launch GameCube game; Luigi's Mansion, Super Mario 64 will take a good solid month to get everything and not just a couple of days.

Even if you manage to complete all the levels in the game then you could always go for the high score again giving Tetrisphere a lot of replay value then most N64 games out there. Some people may be disapointed by the fact that this game plays nothing like the original Tetris and that you can't even play the original game at all but Tetrisphere is so great on its own that you don't even need the older game here.

I actaully liked this new wrestling game believe it or not, although it still has a lot of the problems that plagued EA's last wrestling game, WCW Mayham, like poor graphics, awful animation, and a lack of moves, it's still a fun game of hardcore wrestling despite its many flaws. The good news is that it's cool to unlock all of the secrets in the game like hidden characters and more backstage areas so there is a reason to come back and play. If you can get WCW Backstage Assault for under 10 bucks then I say go for it. WWF No Mercy is the superior wrestling game on the N64 but WCW Backstage Assualt had its moments. Kind of addictive and very brutal but it is still filled with problems.

WWF NO MERCY (THQ/Asmik/Aki,

So why was this game was so great to begin with it? No Mercy features a even better list non linear story lines, sharper graphics, backstage areas, and even more options than last year's mega hit WWF Wrestlemania 2000, which already had a decent cult following to begin with. Despite some very minor problems WWF No Mercy is a very addictive game and a awesome edition to Aki's long running series. Win money, unlock secrets, relive or even rewrite famous story lines all on one little black cartridge! With all these key things going for it, WWF No Mercy is without a doubt my favorite wrestling game of all time and I've sure played a lot of them over the years and that includes all these newer WWE wrestling games like Raw, WrestleMania X8, and the Smackdown series. "This is a absolute must for wrestling fans!"

WWF WRESTLEMANIA 2000 (THQ/Asmik/Aki, October 1999)This famous grappler plays a lot like THQ's previous game WCW/NWO Revenge (minus the older license of course) but things are slightly better this time thanks to the all new Road to WrestleMania Career mode, new WWF (or WWE) wrestlers, improved intros, and the new Create a player option round up that round up the features found in this huge 256 meg game. WWF Wrestlemania 2000 may be only a minor upgrade to the earlier WCW/NWO Revenge but even the slightest improvement to a great game is sure welcomed here. The action is quick (even for four players unlike in the later WWF No Mercy), the create a player is addictive, and the Road to Wrestlemania is very challenging. Unlike other Wrestlemania video games, this deserves to be called the big one, this deserves to be called Wrestlemania!

59 XENA: The TALISMAN Of Fate (Titus, 1999)
This game here is a very standard fighter based on the old hit TV series from the 90's. Who know that spin off of Hercules? Anyway Xena 64 doesn't have anything we haven't seen before in these one on one brawlers. Beat up the opponents until their energy is wiped out and then move on to the next dude or dudette. Despite some averageness it still has some OK graphics and it even has a four player mode so its not all bad.

48 XG2 (Acclaim, 1998)
What could have been an excellent futurist bike racing series is absolutely ruined by this sucky sequel and it's very choppy frame rate. If you didn't know this was the update to Extreme G and you have out run your competition in high speed motorbike that even come packed with weapons. Sadly, it is very disappointing becuase even though this game looked really great at first, the whole game really starts to hurt the eyes. This series could have been something special.

YOSHI'S STORY
(Nintendo, March 1998)I remember this game being hyped nearly to death. Nintendo tries to create a good old fashion 2D action game since players around the world still love those traditional style platformers (like amazing games Super Mario World or the original Yoshi's Island), but like the movie Pearl Harbour it just misses the mark. Sadly the game's biggest problem is that it can be finished in less then a hour and where is the challenge in that? Can you find everything in that hour but in all honesty you probadly won't care either way though. Yoshi's Story may have some nice clean computer generation (although the 16-bit Donkey Kong Country games still looked better in my opinion) the game play is certainly not has deep as the highly acclaimed Yoshi's Island for the Super Nintendo either thanks to the shorter length. It's still a somewhat playable title with some decent controls and that very cute look may appeal to some younger gamers but it's no must have especially if you like more long term game play for your hard earn cash. Just close the book on this lame old story!
