Review – Vigilante 8
After Twisted Metal 2, the series went into a nosedive with the departure of Singletrac. There was no one to where the car combat crown. That is until Luxoflux stepped up with Vigilante 8, a game that is a lot like Twisted Metal but funkier and with dumber objectives.

Review – Street Rod
My dad probably would have loved Street Rod if we had it on our old DOS Shell/Windows 3.1 machine. Now, he's just going to have to live vicariously through me as I live out the '60s car culture dream. Unfortunately, said dream doesn't include a 427 cu. in. engine.

Review – Yie Ar Kung-Fu (Arcade)
If Hi-Score Girl is correct, Yie Ar Kung-Fu is where you need to start if you want to get skilled at fighting games. I don't know if that's true, but it's a great place to start if you want to learn about the evolution of the genre.

Review – Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo
The sequel to the extremely non-existent Super Puzzle Fighter I and the updated version of the also non-existent Normal Puzzle Fighter II, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo brings you all the puzzling and fighting you'd expect from such a celebrated series. No Zangief, though, so that's a bummer.

Review – Elevator Action Returns
How is Elevator Action Returns not talked about more? Don’t get me wrong, it’s not the absolute most obscure arcade game that I’ve covered. It even recently got an enhanced port (of the Sega Saturn version) called Elevator Action Returns S-Tribute, but it’s so much better than its niche suggests. I already love Elevator Action, the 1983 game that is…

Review – ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron
I have to stop taking the phrase “not as good as the first one” as meaning “not worth playing.” I have had Toejam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron for about as long as I’ve owned my Genesis, but I don’t think I ever completed a single level. I just wasn’t sure it was worth it, especially when just playing…

Review – Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate
I got to meet my heroes recently, The Brothers Chaps. Well, not meet them, but communicate over email. That might be the only way, since I have the suspicion that they don't exist outside the internet. Their corporeal form is entirely hearsay to me. Anyway, here's Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate.

Review – Castlevania X: Rondo of Blood
As a fan of the Castlevania series, it might be surprising that I've only now finally gotten around to beating Rondo of Blood. I had even completed Dracula X years before, so figure that one out. Now that I've finally consummated with it, here's what I think.

Review – Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
I stopped following the Resident Evil series after the disappointment that was Resident Evil 5. I didn't stop caring, though, so I was happy to see it return to horror. And Resident Evil 7 is a good time, just, you know, barring a few problems I had with it.

Review – Wolfenstein: The Old Blood
Nazis are easily some of the most fun-to-kill bad guys in video games. This goes back well before Wolfenstein 3D, but the series has really run with it. Wolfenstein: The Old Blood is a step back from the tech Nazis of The New Order but feels weirdly fresh.
