After seeing the review for Bloody Wolf I stopped reading them. Bloody Wolf is one of my favorite games for the system and they had the nerve to say it looked like Nes graphics. Reviews like this tend to come from people who cant beat the game they are reviewing or tend to hate that genre of games. That and I always felt the graphics in Alien Crush were much above average,so I disagree with them on that too.
Not only is Bloody Wolf one of my favorite Turbo games, Alien Crush has some of my favorite graphics. Screenshots of AC were one of the motivations for me to get a TG-16 back in the day(when I already had a Genesis).
As for comparing Bloody Wolf to NES graphics, even in the perspective of someone who can't appreciate the style of BW's graphics, at the worst they're very 'next gen' looking compared to Metal Gear or any similar styled NES game. In fact, BW has some of the nicest graphics for the genre on '16-bit' home consoles. Which isn't saying that much, since the genre is full of non-pretty games. But that's part of the appeal, the gritty dark graphics. I think that many people who don't appreciate the graphics haven't played through the entire game.
China Warrior may not be the nicest shaded game or have the best art, but a lot of people base most of their judgment of '16-bit' graphics on technicalities like sprite size, parallax, neato effects, etc and not on how the actual art/graphics look. Many of these guys like to hate on beautiful PC Engine games that don't have seperately scrolling bg's.
Monster Lair looks very nice. If you try to analyze the graphics on a technical level, you'll spoil the game a bit(
like I did when it first came, I was looking for something extra special from my Turbo CD and didn't realize just how arcade perfect it was). But anyone who walks into a room and sees it playing would think it looks nice and colorful with some cool 'cute' art. I appreciate this game more and more as years go by.
I agree that using other games as a benchmark isn't the best way to review titles on a game by game basis. But whenever you find a slew of reviews by the same person, you get a feel for their tastes and perspective and and can use that to judge for yourself how much you'd probably enjoy them.
As for his hardwork on the Pc-engine scene,I never really heard of him untill today,but if by doing so much for it you mean labeling top tier titles with B graphics and labeling average titles with A+++ graphics then I don't see how he could have helped the scene much.
Way to show your ignorance - by dissing the guy who's contributed a lot to the PC Engine scene (emulation and non), released two homebrew CD games, and is working on a Contra style game along with a badass blazing lazers/star soldier shooter game 
God I can't wait to try PC Gunjin(is that still the name?). I hope we can at least get some sort of demo/rom sometime soon.
At least we got some screenshots in the meantime. If anyone from Frozen Utopia would like to one up them with some pics from that super secret super awesome game I've been hearing about for quite some time, please feel free.
