Sega recently gave us another helping of Genesis love with the release of Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. We spent some time with the latter version, and after putting it through its paces (and getting all the achievements!), we’ve come away… less than impressed. This isn’t a bad collection by any means, but it’s also not a new one. Let’s just put it this way: those of you who still own a copy of the 2006 Sega Genesis Collection for the Playstation 2 might want to think twice about trading it in.

Rainbow Islands: The Story of Bubble Bobble 2
Taito was pretty prolific on the Genesis, but even with all the love it showed owners, there were still a few gems that never made the trip overseas. Rainbow Islands was one that appeared on tons of consoles, but only found a home with Sega in Japan. We have a full review for you, so read on and see if this one’s worth importing.
Virtua Fighter (32X)
Virtua Fighter remains a three dimensional fighter, and therein lies one of its greatest strengths. It revolutionized the fighting game scene when it hit the arcades, and all those great features are present in the 32X version.
Cosmic Carnage
One of the few fighters created just for the 32X was an obscure game called Cosmic Carnage. It was released only on the 32X, so it is virtually unknown due to that add-on’s failure (it wasn’t the only game to suffer such a fate). A beat-em-up with little innovation or any special qualities to make it stand out in the crowd Cosmic Carnage wasn’t anything special and if you haven’t played it, then don’t worry because you haven’t really missed out on anything.
Blackthorne
Blackthorne is definitely in the top few 32X games and is just as good as all of the other versions. Despite few flaws and minor problems, this game turns out to be very decent.
