Chuck Rock II: Son of Chuck

June 11, 2007 by Zebbe 1 comment

You’ve obviously not had enough prehistoric gaming fun, so we’re tossing another Chuck Rock review at you! This time, Chuck’s son is the star, and it soon becomes apparent that his young age and inexperience do him in. No amount of cuteness can keep his console debut from stinking like yesterday’s diapers. Son of Chuck makes a good argument for platforming Darwinism, and there’s a reason why some franchises are extinct. There! I’ve used up all my baby and prehistoric cliches, so why not just read the full review before I think of some more?

Chuck Rock (CD)

June 7, 2007 by Rodger Swan 2 comments

Core Design was a heavy supporter of the Genesis, and it brought that support to the Sega CD. Together with Virgin Games, Core ported its cartridge platformer Chuck Rock, adding in some cut scenes and a new soundtrack. Aside from these minor difference, however, the game essentially remained the same. Is it worth buying over the cartridge version?

Terminator

June 4, 2007 by Cedric Van Der Hauwaert 0 comments

Virgin Games was entrusted with bringing to the Genesis James Cameron’s apocalyptic vision of a man fighting to avoid the death of the one person who could prevent world domination by ruthless machines. In addition to the cartridge game, versions of Terminator were released for the Sega CD and Game Gear, both of which turned out pretty darn good.

Genesis Reviews

Twin Hawk

May 31, 2007 by Uri Cohen 0 comments

Toaplan’s been behind some great shmups, and a few of them were never released in the U.S. Twin Hawk was one of the rare games that got published by Sega in Europe and Japan, but never flew across the Atlantic. No one knows why, but we were deprived of a solid little shooter that employed some unconventional gameplay dynamics.

Sega 32X Reviews

Corpse Killer (32X)

May 27, 2007 by Jonathan Dogey 3 comments

Digital Pictures sure took advantage of the CD medium. Some of the games stink, there’s no denying that. Some are still fun, in a campy sort of way. Corpse Killer is one such title. Originally released as a Sega CD game, it was cleaned up and became one of the few 32X/CD games made available. It’s cornball humor at its very best, and after laughing at just how bad the acting is, you might actually find yourself enjoying this one. If that piques your interest, we have a full review on it, so read on and see if this one is worth giving a try.
