The Game Gear version of Streets of Rage 2 supports 2-player co-op when using the Gear-to-Gear link cable. Playing in co-op is the definitive and best way to play this classic brawler. You are simply missing out by not playing over a link cable.

Living Dead House (Switch) ReviewDeveloped by the small team at Deprecated Games, Living Dead House is a new, retro-style arcade score chaser that fits firmly within the Flynn’s Arcade library of digital releases. In short, it is another easy-to-recommend $5 retro banger. Gameplay is essentially side-scrolling Pac-Man mixed with some slight Donkey Kong tones. Playing as some dude who […]

Grind Survivors (XSX) ReviewGrind Survivors is another top-down auto-firing shooter in the horribly over populated rogue survivors genre. Walk around an environment. Pick up the XP from defeated foes. Enhance your damage output by stacking another weapon or buff. Repeat until you die. Even with its somewhat generic art style and weapon variety, it is a par-for-the-course action […]

Devil Jam (XSX) ReviewAlthough it was released on PC a while ago, Devil Jam is now available on most modern platforms and acts as one of the survivor titles to be released this week. Although its gimmick of having a Hades-style visual presentation and focus on heavy metal beat-based combat, it didn’t grip me like countless others in […]

Super Space Invaders (Game Gear, 1991) 2-player mode, Enable The Link CableSuper Space Invaders is one of the few Game Gear titles to offer 2-player co-op by using the Gear-to-Gear link cable. Co-op is just like the single player game but Space Invaders is always the most fun in multiplayer. This forgotten sequel also sits right in-between the original arcade version and the Extreme series (DS/PSP). […]

Overpower 2: Crux of Fate (PS5) ReviewSequel to Overpowered 1: Mars Infestation, Overpowered 2: Crux of Fate is essentially more of the same but with some key differences. Both games are auto-shooting Survivor titles but the original had players moving room to room Smash T.V.-style. Here in the sequel, there is only one room big it is much bigger and the […]

Adventurous Slime (XSX) ReviewPublished by Ratalaika Games and developed by lightUp, Adventurous Slime is basically palette swapped Beaked Buccaneer. Which is not a negative because this simple, casual, 1-hour Metroid-like is rather pleasant, albeit nothing fancy or overly engaging. Playing as a slime with the ability to jump and shoot, it is your job to stop an evil […]

Basketball Classics (XSX) ReviewPublished by the newly revived Acclaim, Basketball Classics is a pick-up-and-play homage to classic 8-bit sports titles, particularly Double Dribble. This is a solid example of a new, retro game done right and anyone over the age of 40 will certainly appreciate. The obvious stand-out feature is the purposely pixelated retro visual style. The fluid, […]

These neglected beat’em ups have a unique feature – the DS version can be linked with the Wii version in real time. When connected, the DS player controls the BatMite using the stylus to drop […]

Defending Camelot (XSX) ReviewDefending Camelot is a tower defense title that takes obvious inspiration from Plants Vs Zombies. It doesn’t have the same level of charm as EA’s fan favorite but there is enough here for TD players to enjoy even if it is copy/paste. Instead of using plants to stop waves of the undead from reaching the […]
