Fans of the Original Double Dragon Won't Be Dissappointed!

Double Dragon II Review
By: Blaze Powers

    This action packed punch 'em Thriller takes place where the original Double Dragon left off. Billy Dragon's girlfriend, Marian, has again been kidnapped by the X-Crime Syndicate. This time, Billy and Jimmy, two of Nintendo's favorite fighters, need your help to once again crush evil into oblivion.
   From the open scene of Stage 1, you're uppercutting your way through an army of X-Crime Syndicate Street Punks. And trust me, there's plenty of 'em. DDII has nine intense, bone-crunching levels, in which you will encounter whip wielding babes, forrest ranger with dynamite, evil bosses, and Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Swartzenegger look-alikes! Team up with a Buddy and punch them to pieces. Two player mode even features hot new double team moves and crazy 360 degree jump-kicks. Rad!
    The gameplay offers 10 times more action than the original DD, as there are cut scenes between levels to help develope an intense story line. Man, this is like a Genuine Hollywood Thriller!

Hit the Ice in Konami's Latest

Blades of Steel Review
By: Asher Matthews

    Once again, Konami has blessed us with a great new hockey thrill ride! Pulse-pounding slap shots, fist-grinding fights, and crazy kick saves will all have you on the edge of your living room bleacher seats!
    Blades of steel offers the best hockey action for the Nintendo Entertainment System, period. You choose from a total of eight different NHL teams, representing their actual cities. Each has different abilities and different attacks and defenses. Sleek intense passing! Blazing slap shots! Tricky wrist shots! Jaw-crunching fights! Konami and blades of steel pack all this and more into one 8 bit cartrige.
    The realistic gameplay is also oh so impressive. You can tackle and opponant in an exhibition or game or a season match. You can even go for the Stanley Cup, versus a friend or the computer. And if you're having trouble getting that puck through the net, an arrow will scroll up and down the net, helping you to aim your shot and score the winning goal!
