Xbox Live Arcade Review: Golden Axe
With a classic video game medieval theme, Golden Axe was a massive hit for Sega, and an early boost to the Sega Genesis when it was ported from the arcade back in 1989. Xbox Live has now found room for this Makoto Uchida designed title. While not in-depth as far as features go, Golden Axe is a wort...

Nintendo DS Review: Touch the Dead
Touch the Dead is notable for its concept, but ends up leaving the player hoping for Sega to see this as a wake up call to release a true House of the Dead for the console, instead of letting Eidos publish more of this. This is the right idea, destroyed in actual execution.

Xbox 360 Review: Rapala Tournament Fishing
Rapala Tournament Fishing, which was originally going to be called Rapala Trophies (which it is called on the PSP), is the first fishing game for the Xbox 360 console. It isn't a game for the casual fishermen though, as the amount of gear and choices is enough to drive the average person craz...

Nintendo DS Review: Theme Park
A classic PC title released in 1995, this Bullfrog-developed simulation is nearing the record for number of times ported since its original release. Owners of the CD32, 3DO, Genesis, Jaguar, PlayStation, Saturn, along with European owners of the Super NES and Sega CD can enjoy this one. A...
Nintendo DS Review: Devilish
The original Devilish first appeared on the Sega Genesis, but Starfish decided to update it for the DS. Unfortunately, they decided to leave touch-screen interfacing out of the game, something that could have resulted in a quality gaming experience. Instead, we’re left with just using t...

NHL '94 Dictates An Indians vs. Orioles Do-Over
Back in college, we used to play NHL 94 on Sega Genesis. It was already the year 2000 and we were still playing Sega Genesis, but that is not the point of the story. We used to play this game very, VERY, competitively at all times and we kept track of who won what and the winner would get to stick arou...

Xbox Live Arcade Review: Boom Boom Rocket
Boom Boom Rocket is tough to describe. In fact, the very games it resembles and borrows its design from are some of the worst imaginable. If someone told you Boom Boom was a clone of a Sega CD full motion video title and launch title Fantavision on the PlayStation 2, you’d be rightfully taken ab...

Nintendo Wii Review: Kororinpa - Marble Mania
Kororinpa: Marble Mania is yet another one of those games; simple in design, yet an enjoyable experience through and through. Released by Hudson for the Wii, Kororinpa embodies the spirit of the 1980s arcade classic Marble Madness in a way that the Super Monkey Ball series could only wish...

Music Review: Deavid Soul - Sparkling Music
One of the best things about the Sega Dreamcast game Jet Grind Radio (aka Jet Set Radio in Japan) was its soundtrack. The fun, funky mix of hip-hop, dance, and other types of music fit the game's cel-shaded look and graffiti-based theme perfectly.
Xbox Live Arcade Review: Castlevania - Symphony of the Night
While the Sega Saturn port of the game, never released in the U.S., would offer the ability to play as a new character (Maria) and add various extras, it was plagued with slowdown and graphical issues. As such, this Xbox Live edition is the PlayStation version. It’s fully intact, including the...

Nintendo Wii Review: Sonic and the Secret Rings
Attempting to reclaim the Sonic name from its growing pit of mistakes, Sonic and the Secret Rings only adds to that gaping hole. While wisely focusing on what made the character fun in the first place (speed), the developers have taken that out of much of the game. It's another botched attemp...

DVD Review: The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! Volume 2
The Super Mario Brothers Super Show may not been the best of the genre of video game cartoons, but it certainly has a place in television history as one of the most popular and most well-remembered. Plus, it's a lot of fun and an interesting (if sometimes grating) look back at the early days of...

Xbox 360 Review: N3 Ninety-Nine Nights (EU)
Scrolling beat 'em ups, eh? Back in the 1980s, there was one to rule them all. It's name was Golden Axe, a Sega arcade game, which captured the hearts and wallets of many a young gamer. This opened the floodgates for many more, such as Final Fight and Streets of Rage.
