In what will definitely be the easiest Retro Review of all time, we bring you Super Metroid – possibly the greatest video game ever made. That’s right, ever made. Don’t believe us? Come inside and get geared up for our heroes 8th adventure, as well as a retro schooling from Samus company in our latest Retro Review.
It’s Summer here in the USA and also hotter then hell. So what better game to do a retro review on then Capcom’s Demon’s Crest? Okay, you can probably think of quite a few other games which fit the Summertime theme better but who cares! We’ve been wanting to show you this little unknown from Capcom for quite a while now. Demon’s Crest stars the demon Firebrand, and is the third (and best) game in the Gargoyles Quest series. Come inside for more info on this Gem.
This week we bring you straight to the depths of Hell with Doom for the Atari Jaguar and Sega 32X. Considering Doom is a landmark for first-person shooter and is widely recognized for pioneering immersive 3D graphics as well as true third dimension spatially, we decided it was time to find out which version of Doom (for the home console) deserves a place on your retro collection shelves and which version should be left in Hell to burn! Only one version is coming out of this retro Head2Head alive, so keep on reading to find out.
“Get over here” as we take you down memory lane with another great classic retro Head2Head. This time we duke it out with one of the greatest fighting game classics: Mortal Kombat for the Super NES and Sega Genesis! This game set the bar for graphic violence in a fighting game but only one version actually let you take the carnage home. Keep on reading to find out which version of Mortal Kombat delivers the fatal blow in this retro Head2Head.
Welcome to the Lens of Truth’s first attempt at a Retrospect Head2Head. Now before anyone gets excited, we decided to start off this new section with a game almost every person should have heard of once in their life, and that’s Street Fighter. With Super Street Fighter IV rocking the industry as we speak, we thought it’s the prime time to focus or lens on its predecessor, Street Fighter III 3rd Strike. Stick around as we step back a few years and crown our first retrospect Head2Head champion.
Street Fighter IV may be the best 3-D looking Street Fighter to date but it wasn’t the first. The original Street Fighter EX was made for Arcades on the Playstation based Sony ZN-1 System in 1996. What the ZN-1 did was finally give Capcom the ability to create a Street Fighter game in a 3-D world. But is it any good? Is it worth tracking down this hard to find PS1 rendition? Find out in our latest Retro Review.
With the detective styled Heavy Rain just released for the PS3, I couldn’t help but retro it up with a little old school Sherlock Holmes type fun. The first “detective” retro game to come to mind happened to be this little oddity developed by the P.C. wizards at ICOM Simulations titled, Deja vu. Step inside this retro review to see if this ones worth remembering.
Anyone who owned an NES and enjoys the great game of Football knows what the Tecmo Bowl series is all about. Football…and having a great time! The original two NES Tecmo Bowls were monumental in their release for including the names of real NFL Teams and Players. For its 16-bit entry Tecmo got to use the power the SNES to create the ultimate Football game…or did they? Find out in this ”Super Sunday” retro Review.
No one knows how to celebrate a holiday like Sega! What other Company would give away a special holiday version of their, then “franchise” title? You can count the list with one finger. Maybe that’s why Sega is no longer in the console business. I’m only kidding. Giving away Christmas Nights into Dreams had absolutely nothing to do with the demise of Sega. If anything, it should have only helped the company along. Find out if this rare holiday disc is worth the hunt in our latest retro Review.
