Radical Rex (CD)

December 7, 2009 by Sebastian Sponsel 0 comments

Sonic The Hedgehog opened the floodgates for a slew of furry mascot characters that had attitude and some lame nemesis to destroy for the greater world good. Activision’s Radical Rex, released on both the Genesis and Sega CD (as well as the SNES), varied from that tired formula in one way: its hero wasn’t furry. Yes, Rex the Dinosaur bravely decided to stand out from the crowd by having skin and not fur, and his jumping, skateboard-riding, item-collecting talents were the envy of the platforming world. And thanks to his individuality and war against conformism, video games are better now.

Shove It! The Warehouse Game

December 4, 2009 by Ken Horowitz 0 comments

Puzzle games come in all shapes and sizes. Some are more complex than others, but often the simplest puzzlers can be the most fun. One of the lesser known members of the genre on the Genesis is Shove It! The Warehouse Game, which basically boils down to a dude in a warehouse pushing boxes for cash. It’s not very deep on story, and it can even be downright repetitive sometimes, but the game actually grows on you after a while.

Look at how fast November has come and gone. The month God made for football is over, but we can’t let go without one last look at the sport. Our latest review gives us a sort of another interpretation, and it comes in the form of a Genesis port of the Bally/Midway arcade hit Pigskin 621 A.D. The home version got a name change due to a questionable endorsement by NFL coach Jerry Glanville. Forget the refs and the rules friends; this one is all about bringing the pain

Dragon’s Revenge

November 19, 2009 by Robert Nepereny 0 comments

Many gamers have fond memories of the Crush series on the TurboGrafix-16. Both Alien Crush and Devil’s Crush were excellent titles that still hold up incredibly well today. Genesis owners were lucky enough to receive the latter game, and Tengen promptly followed up with a sequel called Dragon’s Revenge. Though it may not be as good as its predecessor, it has a charm all its own and is still highly playable.
