Guiding mindless little creatures around a level so that they don’t blindly fall to their death seems to have caught on, as evidenced by the success of Lemmings. There have been several other entries in this style of games, and Gametek’s The Humans has players taking the fate of the human race in their hands. Are we worth saving? You’ll have to read our full review and decide for yourself!
This… is… Jeopardy! For the three people out there who have yet to play a version of Merv Griffin’s classic game show, we have a full review of the sports edition.

Read our full review for more details, and be ready to settle for a year’s supply of Turtle Wax.
If there’s one thing that lasts forever, it’s the game show. Staples like Jeopardy! and The Price is Right have been on TV since the dawn of mankind, and they’re still going strong. Also among the game show elite is Wheel of Fortune, which recently celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary. As with Jeopardy! Gametek squeezed the license dry by releasing versions for every piece of electronics on the market.
Long before Hulk Hogan joined them, the American Gladiators were crushing and slamming their way into a nation’s conciousness. The program was one of the first of its type in the U.S. and paved the way for shows like Most Extreme Elimination Challenge and Ninja Warrior to become popular stateside. Such a popular show obviously spawned several video game renditions, and the Genesis version barely managed to fight its way up from the pool of suck where many of them festered… barely.
If there’s one game show that has endured throughout the years, it’s Family Feud. From its TV debut back in 1976 to the newest incarnation this year, the program has managed to remain popular. So popular was it, that it was ported to just about every game console ever made (I think I have the Game.com version here somewhere!).
