Review Marvel MaXimum Collection (PS5) - A Retro Comic Book Beat-'Em-Up Bonanza
Welcome to die
Retro compilations have become quite commonplace this generation, but Marvel MaXimum Collection is one you should be paying attention to. While it would be all-too easy to lament the lack of SEGA’s superhero games here – like its System 32 Spider-Man effort or the home console adventure Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin – publisher...
Review Earthion (PS5) - A Scorching Shmup That Soars Beyond Nostalgia
Shoot for the stars
Seasoned SEGA Genesis specialist Yuzo Koshiro was always going to work wonders when he announced he was creating an all-new shmup with the 16-bit system in mind. But Earthion is not just an outstanding homage to the intergalactic escapades of past – it may be up there with genre titans like R-Type and Gradius. The game walks...
Mini Review Bubsy in: The Purrfect Collection (PS5) - A True Look at What Could Possibly Go Wrong
When do the nine lives run out?
Like a cockroach continuing to return from sales situations that have killed many better series, Bubsy In: The Purrfect Collection packs all of the bobcat’s “classic” games into a bundle, including the various console versions for each release, and even a refurbished version for its worst game. Also included are...
Review Tomba! Special Edition (PS5) - PS1 Oddity Remains a Fun, Fresh, and Unique Platformer
Pigs will fly
So, who remembers Tomba!? Also known as Tombi! in Europe, it was a distinctly Japanese platformer that charmed many a PS1 player all the way back in 1997. Often bizarre but almost always bright and cheery, Tomba! offered something very different to the genre's blockbusters, like Crash Bandicoot or Spyro. It was a curious blend of...
Mini Review Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore (PS5) - A Charmingly Shoddy CD-i Sendup
Jewel love it or hate it
Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore more or less nails what it sets out to do. Inspired directly by a pair of infamously bad Zelda games for the Philips CD-i, this fresh interpretation carries much of the same pseudo-bootleg energy that fans have come to love over time. The poorly animated cutscenes, awful voice acting, static...
