Review: Ace of Aces

Sometimes you just want to hate a game because of its pretentious name, and that's my problem with Ace of Aces, the air combat game for the Sega Master System. It's Chad doing this review, and he's n...

Review: Zool

Zool is a 2D platformer. It also sounds as a lot like Zoop, a 2D puzzle game. But this is not Zoop, this is Zool. Zool is kind of generic, at least, that's what Chad seems to think. How could that...

Review: Hook

Before Sony released their PlayStation game system they were an insignificant player in the game industry. Hook is just another example of how unimportant Sony was back in the early 1990s, it's a game...

Review: Chronicles of Narnia

The Chronicles of Narnia has a built in fan base that will likely enjoy seeing a classic book brought to the Xbox, but if you're not a fan of the books (or movie) already then you may want to avoid th...

Review: Gun

Gun is a fun little game of Cowboys and Indians worth checking out if you're a fan of this era, but don't expect more than a few hours of gameplay!...

Review: Xenophobe

Hey Lynx owners, do you have ecophobia? Are you an electrophobe? And when you're playing games do you have the fear of failure, I mean Atelophobia? If so, then Patrick has a review righ...

Review: R-Type

Irem should be proud, not many 2D shooters have been able to continue to release new games nearly 20 years later. As great as Thunder Force 3 and Gaiares were you don't see new versions of them coming...

Review: Ax Battler

With a name like Ax Battler this game has to be exciting, right? Well Chad doesn't think so, which is why he's having a hard time recommending this Game Gear game. To some this is just an offshoo...

Review: Gex

By the time Gex showed up all of the furry animals had been taken by other companies, but that didn't stop them from designing this game around a gecko. Okay, so he's not the most compelling character...

Review: Sonic Shuffle

It's been a long time since we've had a game score this low. Is Matt just in a bad mood or is the game as bad as he says. Wait, Matt? That's right, it's the return of Matthew Coomer, one of our b...

Review: Darius Alpha

And with this review Defunct Games officially says adios to the Super Grafx. We've reviewed all seven games, including a couple we never want to see again. Darius Alpha is a strong title to end on, bu...
