Pandora's Tower Review
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but swords and chains excite me. Should you climb the towers in Xseed's JRPG/adventure hybrid to save your cursed (and tragically whiny) girlfriend?

Strong enough for a man, ph-balanced for your CPU!

With the need to counter the impending doom of Sadaam's high-tech chain of PS2 war machines, the GR scientists have spent the better part of a year trying to harness the awesome power of the Now & Later! More durable than steel, harder than a diamond, faster than a locomotive and able to destroy a set of perfectly good teeth in mere minutes, this tasty but potent childhood snack was thought to be our only hope. But our sole pothole on the road to success and victory was finding that Now & Laters don't play video games very well (must be some incompatibility with OpenGL).

"Blast it! Back to the drawing boards!" thought the GR men of science. It was as if we were ex-funnyman Steve Martin and our "hope" was "comedy" - all we could do was watch it float way, never to be seen again.

But just when it seemed that all was lost, a savior in a blue box bearing a familiar name arrived on our doorstep. It was the Gladiac 920, Elsa's new video board with Nvidia's brand new Geforce 3 chipset at the helm. Their impressive (yet somewhat pricey) Gladiac GeForce 2 proved to be an invaluable ally in the past.
