Review: Bug Too!

How many games do you know of that feature an exclamation mark? Not many, and that's about all Bug Too! has going for it according to Chad. Here we have the sequel to one of the first Saturn ga...

Review: Rise of the Dragon

Fans of Snatchers are in luck, Rise of he Dragon is every bit as good as that cult classic. Tom returns to let us know that this is one game that is great no matter what age you are (even with the st...

Review: Dark Savior

With such classics as Shining Force and Panzer Dragoon Saga, the Sega Saturn is known for its amazing role-playing games. Unfortunately Dark Savior isn't quite in the same caliber as those two advent...

Review: Virtua Fighter

Yes, it's another Virtua Fighter review. This time Tom's looking at the trusty old Sega 32X version, a game that seems slightly unnecessary due to the superior Saturn port. But hey, we're not the on...

Review: Sega Worldwide Soccer '98

Tom is back with yet another soccer game, only this time it's actually good! Forget all about that Euro 96 England debacle Tom reviewed yesterday, it's all about the Sega Worldwide Soccer '98, one of...

Review: Dynamite Headdy

Treasure has made a lot of great games in their short life, but few are as memorable as Dynamite Headdy. Cyril is here to look at the 8-Bit port released on the Game Gear twelve years ago. How does ...

Review: Worms

Worms is widely considered to be one of the greatest party games of all time, but Tom isn't having any of that! While he enjoyed the company of these adorable (and extremely violent) worms, he just c...

Review: UEFA Euro 96 England

Tom isn't done supplying Defunct Games with high quality reviews of low quality soccer games. This time we're forced to sit through a review of what could be the worst game available for the Sega Sat...

Review: Hatris

Hatris is one of the "sequels" Alexey Pazhitnov made to follow up his popular creation, Tetris. This is a boring puzzle game that almost dares you to stay interested in it. But just because it puts ...

Review: Sega Worldwide Soccer '97

The World Cup may be behind us (congratulations Italy), but that doesn't mean you can't still enjoy this soccer game that features no real teams or players. It's Sega Worldwide Soccer '97, one of the...

Review: Bubble Bobble Featuring Rainbow Island

It's not just Bubble Bobble, it's Bubble Bobble Featuring Rainbow Island. Couldn't they have come up with a better name? Perhaps Bubble Bobble Anthology or the Bubble Bobble Collection? E...

Review: Double Dragon

It's the arcade brawler that started it all, the game that influenced everything from Final Fight to River City Ransom to The Warriors! It's Double Dragon, featuring some of the most recognizable twi...

Review: Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories

Liberty City Stories is a great PSP game that didn't need to be ported to the PlayStation 2. If you're in the market for a Grand Theft Auto game on Sony's current generation console it's better you s...

Review: Manx TT Super Bike

If there's one thing the Saturn did right it was racing games ... well, arcade racing games. This might have a lot to do with Sega's large stable of arcade racers, including this gem of a game. It's...

Review: Draconus: Cult of the Wyrm

Sometimes I really hate the way game companies spell their words. When you say the name "Cult of the Wyrm" it doesn't sound cool, yet it's even worse when you realize that it's actually spelled "Wyrm...

Review: Tomb Raider

Tom hates Tomb Raider! He simply cannot find one good thing to say about his popular (and influential) adventure game from Core. He doesn't like Lara. He doesn't like the practice level. He doesn'...

Review: Blue Stinger

Although it should be classified in the survival horror genre, Blue Stinger is no Resident Evil. Heck, it's no Silent Hill for that matter. But that doesn't mean Frank didn't like the game, if you d...

Review: Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to Tom Lenking, Defunct Games' newest staffer. He's about to make all of the die hard Mortal Kombat fans very, very upset. This is his review of Ultimate M...

Review: Wing Arms

Lee drops in with an interesting look on Wing Arms, an early generation Sega Saturn game that might be worth looking at after all. If you're a fan of aerial combat then Lee has a game that is right u...

Review: Action Fighter

Alright, Action Fighter! Now that's the type of game I can get into. Some rough looking hooligans getting into battles and one-on-one fights. I mean, with a name like Action Fighter how can you go ...

Review: Rayman

With Ubisoft putting the finishing touches on the next Rayman Adventure we thought it would be fun to go back and look at the original Rayman, a 2D side scroller with a lot of heart and some amazing g...
