Review: Make My Video: INXS

It's hard to talk about INXS without talking about the tragedy that struck the band ... and of course by that I'm talking about that reality show Rockstar: INXS! This is the type of "game" that allow...

Review: Flashback: The Quest for Identity

You bought that CD-i in the hopes of playing exciting games with stellar graphics, but all you get is Pinball and Hotel Mario. Perhaps it's time for you to get behind the best game on the system, Fla...

Review: Plumbers Don't Wear Ties

And you know what else they don't wear? Tuxedos! They also don't wear helmets, pocket protectors, or cowboy boots. After Plumbers Don't Wear Ties hit the game scene there was a sharp drop in t...

Review: Way of the Warrior

Although the 3DO played host to games like Super Street Fighter II and Samurai Shodown, it's safe to say that it wasn't the system of choice for fans of the genre. The 3DO's control made the genre pa...
