Cover Story: It's Hardcore Gamer Magazine's Retro a Go-Go issue. This is the issue where everything old is new again. But wait a second, if this is their retro issue then why the heck wasn't Defunct Games invited to sound off on these important issues. This issue is still worth checking out, but can you imagine how much better this retro feature could have been with the Defunct Games staff talking about all of the games the HGM staff forgot about?

Reviews: Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, Full Auto 2: Battlelines, Karaoke Revolution Presents: American Idol, Dead or Alive Xtreme 2, Metal Slug Anthology, and more!

Special Features: This month's Hardcore Gamer Magazine has all the usual goodness, including a look at the arcade scene, import reviews, fan art and much more!
