Review: Great Ice Hockey

Chad hates Great Ice Hockey. He hates it in the same way you hate getting pulled over for speeding, having your power go out, or accidentally losing your wooden leg. Chad has a few things to say about...

Review: Michael Jackson's Moonwalker

We've been in business for nearly five years and we haven't reviewed Michael Jackson's Moonwalker? It just doesn't seem right. Thankfully Cyril stepped up and righted that wrong. And while the te...

Review: Captain Silver

It's Captain Silver, the classic 2D platformer for the Sega Master System. Chad has some mixed feelings about this oddity, on one hand it's overflowing with crazy characters, but it's also kind of pla...

Review: China Warrior

And now for the story of an extremely tall man who walks across China kicking the stuffing out of other tall Chinese men. Think I'm joking? Then obviously you haven't read Chad's review of China ...

Review: Icebreaker

Icebreakers looks pretty simple, with straightforward graphics and an easy to grasp theme. But Chad doesn't get it, he just can't figure this game out. Sure he knows how to play and what the objective...

Review: SD Gundam: Dimension War

Every console needs a crummy anime port, right? Well, clearly the Virtual Boy was no exception as SD Gundam is a game just lousy enough to be based on an anime. Ferry doesn't hold back when talki...

Review: Area 51

Lee is not very happy with Midway and their port of Area 51. He seems to think it's nothing more than a linear rail shooting with poor graphics and limited game play. Maybe he's right, but you won't k...

Review: Tech Romancer

In Matt Coomer's first Defunct Games review he tackles Tech Romancer, the Capcom fighter that has been almost forgotten. This is a Dreamcast game Matt wasn't you to pick up, even if you already own So...
