Review: Sam & Max Ep. 106: Bright Side of the Moon

So this is it, the final episode of the exciting first season of Sam & Max. While this sixth episode, Bright Side of the Moon, isn't nearly as good as Reality 2.0, it's still one of the funniest game...

Review: Time Cruise

When it comes right down to it the TurboGrafx-16 is the king of video game pinball games, unfortunately Time Cruise is not nearly as good as Alien Crush or Devil's Crush. Time Cruise does have one gi...

Review: Batman

Batman has been in a lot of really bad video games, but none are as tragically unhip as this PC Engine game. Instead of offering us a really exciting 2D side scrolling action game, this version of Ba...

Review: Neutopia II

Hey look, it's a sequel that looks exactly like the first game. Oh well, at least it's still a solid adventure game ... right? No? Alright, so scratch that. Apparently Neutopia II is a m...

Review: Night Creatures

You would think that a game that let you transform into a werewolf and vampire would be really cool, but Night Creatures is just another boring Castlevania clone that completely misses the point. And...

Review: J.B. Harold Murder Club

While it's not going to appeal to everybody, J.B. Harold Murder Club is actually a fascinating murder mystery full of unique characters and compelling plot twists. While other attempts at the genre h...

Review: Rainbow Cotton

If you've played any of the Cotton games then chances are that it's been a slow 2D experience. But not Rainbow Cotton, this is a Dreamcast game that takes the standard 2D shooter and turns it into a ...

Review: Phantasy Star

It seems like almost a sin for Defunct Games to be around more than six years and never get around to reviewing Phantasy Star. How does something like that even happen? Well folks, the wait is ...

Review: Armored Core 4

Don't believe Sega's lies, this is not the fourth installment of the Armored Core series. With all the spin-offs and side games included this is more like Armored Core 10. But I guess Formula Front ...

Review: Puyo Pop

Although it's not a household name, Puyo Pop is one of the most prolific puzzle games of all time. You would think that a system capable of doing justice to such games as Tomb Raider and Tony Hawk's P...

Review: X-Men Legends

Sure X-Men Legends on just about every game system known to man, but that doesn't keep it from being a solid action/RPG on the Nokia N-Gage. The only thing from keeping this from a perfect score is on...
