The first review of the new year! Sega-16 starts 2006 six with a batarang, with a review of the first of the Dark Knight’s adventures on the Genesis. Batman: The Video Game came out in the shadow of the awesome NES release, but was it better? You’ll have to read our review to find out!
Few icons have had as storied a history in video games as Batman. From a few bona fide classics to some real stinkers, the Dark Knight has a ton of releases under his utility belt. One of the more controversial titles was Batman Returns, based on the second film. Many debate its quality to this day, and we’ve a review to help you fence-sitters make up your mind. Hey, don’t say we never did anything for ya!
There’s a right way to do an adventure game, and there’s Earnest Evans. So much potential wasted…While not a truly bad game, there was enough wrong to make you wonder what had happened. It was the type of game you really wanted to like but never matched the original (which wasn’t a triple A title to begin with).
Mechs are generally a good thing. Mech Warrior, Steel Battalion – both are great examples of how to do the genre right. Unfortunately, Metal Head is a prime example of the opposite. Want to know how not to make a game for a software-starved system? Read our review of this train wreck and learn!
More cetacean goodness for you! You’ve beaten the first Ecco the Dophin (you have, haven’t you?), and you’re itching for some more aquatic action. Well, it just so happens that we have another Ecco review for you.
