Renovation brought over a ton of games for the Genesis, many of which found their ways onto other consoles. Exile was an action/RPG that was also available on the TuboGrafx-16 CD-ROM (check out our comparison of the two). While it didn't boast all the bells and whistles of its CD sibling, the Genesis cartridge had some strengths of its own. Read our full review and see why you should at least try this one out.

Regardless of the quality of his recent games, no one can doubt that Sonic The Hedgehog is widely recognized. In fact, the Blue Blur was once more familiar to children than both Mario and Mickey Mouse! His fans are still found far and wide, and recently, many of them came together earlier this month in London, England to celebrate a Sega-sponsored event in his honor. Summer of Sonic 2010 had a ton of cool merchandise, famous faces, and even some authentic, live Sonic tunes! Sega-16 contributor Katharina Mayer was there and brings us the scoop! Read the full article and catch up with Sonic!

In the arcades, Atari's T-MEK was a monstrous and intimidating machine. The massive cab fit two players and could be linked to another, making for some awesome four-player matches. The 32X version, however, lost that great multi-player capability in the conversion (along with most of the game's charm), and if you listened hard enough, you could hear the poor little mushroom panting as it strained under the T-MEK's engine. I guess it's true that sometimes, a game is better left in the arcade. Read our full review for all the sorry details.

Today's review is something of an oddity. Long believed to be a bootleg, Yang Jia Jiang (known as Yang Warrior Family outside of China), is most likely a legitimate, unlicensed release. Details on the game's development and distribution are scarce, as they are with most Chinese Mega Drive titles, but we can at least still review it for public consumption. Read our full review and see if this one is worth hunting down. Be warned though; there are a ton of pirate versions that are not the same, so care is needed to find an original copy.
