Brunswick Circuit Pro Bowling 2 – Consumer Guide

Brunswick Circuit Pro Bowling 2 is an accomplished bowling simulation—thorough in its design and reasonably fun to play. You can't ask for much more than what this game delivers, aside from more appealing graphics and less-glitchy gameplay. The game also loses some shelf life due to the nature of its […]

Zombie Revenge – Review

No game echoes this sentiment clearer than Sega's Zombie Revenge, a shoot-'em-up, beat-'em-up arcade brawler with zombies and gore to spare. Though the game does have its moments, there's nothing here that hasn't been tried before. Zombie Revenge just changes the scenery a bit, adding a Resident Evil-esque theme to a pretty basic formula.

Zombie Revenge – Second Opinion

When I first saw the score Ben gave Zombie Revenge, I thought two things: The new guy is out to prove something and he didn't bother to play through the game thoroughly. That's because I had relatively high expectations ever since I heard that Sega was going to be publishing it.

This is not surprising, however, because to most, though they won't openly admit it, it was a dream come true.

Grand Theft Auto 2 – Second Opinion

I never cared for the original premise of car-jacking and thuggery for the sake of being able to do so, but in the sequel, the idea of operating in a consequential world with gangland loyalties was intriguing to me. Too bad the whole notion goes totally wasted on a game with so many defects that I barely know where to start.

Gauntlet Legends – Review

It can if Midway effectively recreates the arcade experience while adding immersive home console peculiarities. And, apparently with Legends, they have. The original premise of having four human controlled adventurers of different character classes cooperatively questing (a refreshingly rare feature today) through maze-like stages hasn't changed, so the gameplay is still very arcade-like.
