Review: Warbirds

While it's not for everybody, Warbirds is actually a surprising portable game. This is a 3D action/flight simulator that uses polygonal graphics and offers exciting multi-player support. So what's t...

Review: Dark Wizard

Isn't it about time we looked at another classic Sega CD strategy/RPG title? Last week Josh told us all about The Heroic Legend of Arslan, a competent Sega CD game that was incredibly difficult ...

Review: Kinnikuman Nisei: Dream Tag Match

I've seen a lot of terrible names in my life, but none are as perplexing as Kinnikuman Second Generation Dream Tag Match! Why is this the Second Generation? And how is this a Dream Tag Match�...

Review: Woody Pop

Speaking of terrible names, Woody Pop is another bad example of game titles. With a name like Woody Pop it's hard to tell what this game is about, but I do know one thing I would be embarrassed to ex...

Review: PowerSlave

Don't think the Sega Saturn is capable of a solid first-person shooter? Well think again, because PowerSlave is ready to knock your socks off. While it's true that the Sega Saturn isn't the 3D ...

Review: The Heroic Legend Of Arslan

Review: Deep Fear

When it comes to atmospheric adventures games the Sega Saturn seemed to always come up short. While the PlayStation had games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, the Saturn just couldn't attract the ...

Review: Decathlete

I don't care if you call it Decathlete or Athlete Kings; this 3D Track and Field rip-off is certainly not worth your time or money. If you're a fan of jamming one button over and over while playing t...

Review: The Horde

The Horde is like an ultraviolent version of Animal Crossing. In this action/adventure game you take back control of your town by defeating one bizarre creature after another. Originally hyped as on...

Review: Voyeur

There are some things that just ooze the 1990s. Beanie babies, the macarena, and the Rachel haircut instantly spring to mind. But if there's one thing that reminds me of the 1990s it's the non-stop ...

Review: Shadowrun

Who knew that Microsoft's newest first-person shooter, Shadowrun, would be such a controversial game? After some less than stellar reviews Mitch Gitelman, the man heading up FASA Studios, has de...

Review: Double Dragon

Now hang on a moment; the box says Double Dragon, but what I'm playing certainly isn't the Double Dragon I remember. This Game Gear game is an entirely new Double Dragon game ... which isn't as good ...

Review: BC Racers

Isn't it about time we talked about a shameless Mario Kart imitator? This is BC Racer, one of the first of many kart racing clones, it features Chuck Rock, Son of Chuck, and a lot of other chara...

Review: Mile High Pinball

Is it just me or does the name of this game sound like I'm about to get lucky on a pinball table? Sadly that is not the case (as far as you know), because this is Mile High Pinball, a surprising...

Review: The Ninja

You have to love simple names. There's just no getting around what The Ninja is all about. In case you haven't guessed, The Ninja is a rhythm game that puts you in control of a hip hop pirate. Actu...

Review: Falcon

Now here's a genre that has been strangely under represented on the game consoles. Falcon is an air combat simulator, a computer port that bites off more than it can chew. At its core Falcon is a gr...

Review: Reggie Jackson's Baseball

Sega has had a strange history of nabbing crazy celebrities for their video games. Who can forget Michael Jackon's Moonwalker, or what about Pat Riley, Tommy Lasorda and Buster Douglas? But whi...
