RLH: Run Like Hell
An underappreciated game with a solid story, good atmosphere, and so-so gameplay.
I'm a few years behind the times with this game, which is usually the case. But I think that allows me to evaluate this game a little more objectively, without any hype surrounding the game any longer. I can only assum... Read Full Review

Skate or Die
A coming-of-age game for skateboarding.
Before Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, actually LONG befor THPS, there was Skate or Die. Tony Hawk has the benefit of having a pretty sizable skate culture. But when Skate or Die came out, skateboarding was still pretty obscur... Read Full Review

Futurama
A fun, fairly easy, entertaining game. Not bad at all.
The "professional" reviewer of this game seems to have a trend of frequently being way off on what the general gaming public thinks of games. Although Futurama isn't groundbreaking in any regards, rating this game as "p... Read Full Review

Siren City
The Grand Theft Auto of the 80's.
With it's top-down urban environment, a working railroad line, and gameplay centered on exploring the city looking for action, it would be no surprise to find out the creators of the original GTA games were influenced by... Read Full Review

Miami Vice: The Game
Pretty short and basic, but fairly solid third person shooter.
Miami Vice: The Game is an action game based on the recent Miami Vice movie, not the 80's TV show. Because of that, the characters are based off of Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx, instead of Don Johnson and (whoever play... Read Full Review

Silkworm
Attack by land or air, or both.
Silkworm is a fast paced, side scrolling shooter with the unique aspect that you could control either a helicopter or a Jeep, or both simultaneously if you have two players. The graphics were pretty detailed for the tim... Read Full Review

Shamus
A nearly impossible shooter/adventure.
Why did they come up with games like this? Games that were so difficult they'd leave you wanting to smash your disk drive out of pure rage. Shamus was Inspired by the arcade game Berzerk, which I actually played on the... Read Full Review

Star Fox Adventures
A few control issues aside, this is a great game.
Starfox Adventures is an adventure game loosely based on the older games of the Starfox series. I say "loosely" based because the older games are space shooters, whereas SF Adventures is a full scale action game with a ... Read Full Review

Samantha Fox Strip Poker
What were we thinking?
Yeah, I guess Samantha Fox was pretty hot back in the mid 1980's. But video game graphics absolutely were not. That didn't stop us from buying up games featuring heavily pixelated, a-few-shades-away-from-flesh-colored ... Read Full Review

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

The Rocky Horror Show

Enter the Matrix
Not bad for a licensed game, but it's buggier than Gamespot.

The real The Fast & The Furious. No subcompacts with coffee can mufflers. Only muscle and fiery death.
Before Twisted Metal and I-76 and other vehicle combat games, there were the groundbreakers, namely RoadBlasters. There was also Spy Hunter, but that was less combat oriented. RoadBlasters was a fairly long, hard game....

RoadBlasters
Vehicular murder, upgraded.
RoadBlasters was a car combat game originally released for 8-bit systems. But being the hit it was, the developers decided to cash in on the 16-bit consoles and re-release the game with updated graphics. Not a bad idea... Read Full Review

Turok 2: Seeds of Evil
I give it a 7.7. I guess a 7.5 will have to work.
I generally like open-ended gameplay more than linear gameplay. But some times it can go a little too far. Turok is described as being a huge game that will take hours and hours to complete. But the reason for that is... Read Full Review

Spec Ops II: Omega Squad
Since Gamespot requires nice round numbers, I'll give it a 4.5.
Spec Ops: Omega Squad follows the Spec Ops tradition of total mediocrity. The graphics are pretty bad for the Dreamcast. The characters aren't bad, but the environments are drab. The sounds aren't too good either. T... Read Full Review

I would vote it a 9.7, but Gamespot sucks.

Parasite Eve
The storyline, although a little cheesy at times, will suck you in.

Updated graphics and more levels, but otherwise it's nothing different from the original.

Don't believe the NEGATIVE hype, this game really isn't that bad.
