    A fantastic action game

    Chakan

    A fantastic action game

    Chakan for the Game Gear slightly differs from the Genesis version. It has different map layouts, a different UI but at it's core, it's the same game.As far as side-scrolling games go, it's easily one of the best looking... Read Full Review

    Another excellent entry

    Alex Kidd in Shinobi World

    Another excellent entry

    A mix up of Sega's other popular game at the time, Shinobi and Sega's (at the time) mascot, this is generally accepted as the last good Alex The Kidd game. It's Genesis counterpart, as well as spinoff's, would not match ... Read Full Review

    A charming, well designed game

    Alex Kidd in Miracle World

    A charming, well designed game

    The only blemish that comes to mind with this game is a Rock, Paper, Scissor game at the end of each level, which is largely guess work.Beyond that, this is a colorful, charming game that was in some regards ahead of it... Read Full Review

    Sega's  Castlevania

    Master of Darkness

    Sega's Castlevania

    Sega couldn't get Castlevania on there master system console (it would later appear on the Genesis) so they made their own.The results? Pretty good.It's a far easier game, the boss fights are a cake walk, health is plent... Read Full Review

    Good, with cheap bosses

    Shinobi

    Good, with cheap bosses

    One of the Master Systems best titles and one of the better Shinobi portsThe original is slower paced than the other games, with usually only 1-3 enemies on screen at once, and these are dealt with by using a little thou... Read Full Review

    More of the same

    Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel

    More of the same

    More of the same pretty much sums the game up. Sure, you get a new elemental effect, you're on the moon, but ultimately... more of the same.Same problems, the game thinks it's funnier than it is, shouting and quirkiness ... Read Full Review

    Chip away

    Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast

    Chip away

    It's said in gaming circles, from lightsaber onward, Outcast becomes a good game. This argument seems true, and sensibly, it's sequel outright started with saber in hand.This was never an issue with Dark Forces II though... Read Full Review

    Not as good as it's sequel, but still quite good

    Tomb Raider

    Not as good as it's sequel, but still quite good

    While both Tomb Raider I and II are very similar games, with practically the same mechanics and graphics, I has a more claustrophobic, muted environment compared to II's larger colorful labyrinths.While II bordered on ni... Read Full Review

    Don't you think you see enough?

    Tomb Raider II

    Don't you think you see enough?

    Core Designs original titles have what Crystal Dynamics lack, exploration and danger.Exploration rewarded resources and progression, and danger, both immediate and potential, creating tension.From Tomb Raider: Legend onw... Read Full Review

    No.

    Alone in the Dark 2

    No.

    Alone In The Dark 2 discards almost everything that was appealing about first, landmark title, it's very much what Resident Evil 4 was to Resident Evil, but not good. The sporadic enemies from the first game built aroun... Read Full Review

    An enjoyable older title

    Alone in the Dark (1992)

    An enjoyable older title

    In contemporary terms, to enjoy Alone In The Dark requires deliberate concessions for it's age. If you are willing to show it's foibles leniency, a respect will quickly form.Released several years prior, as well as a dir... Read Full Review

    Both brillaint and terrible

    Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper

    Both brillaint and terrible

    At it's worse, the game feels like a sterile adventure game with some pixel hunting that relies more on guess work than logic. At it's best it's a brilliant mix of reality with fiction. The environments look surprisingly... Read Full Review
