Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 – PS2

Sometimes, you can pinpoint the moment when you realized that your favorite console was going to be phased out. For me, it was the terrible port of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. With gamebreaking bugs shipped in the box and corners cut wherever the developers could get away with it, it was the moment when I realized the PS2 was no longer worth every company’s best efforts to program for. Witness this harrowing recollection of loss and heartbreak in the spirit of April’s Foolish Games!

Borderlands: The Handsome Collection – Xbox One

With a completely absurd amount of content, Borderlands: The Handsome Collection includes the definitive versions of Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, but players who already have the games might not find it worth the price tag for games they already own.

Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties – 3DO

Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties is an excellent example of why FMV games never took off…and why the systems that touted FMV games failed as well. Is it a game? No, Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties is an experience!

Discworld – PlayStation

Discworld is not only a charming and powerful fantasy series made by the prolific (and late) Sir Terry Pratchett, it’s also a multi-platform point-and-click adventure game from 1995! In the PS1 version, we look at its scripted highs and gameplay lows in an effort to appreciate the great author’s influence, even if the game itself could be better.

Airwolf – Nintendo Entertainment System

Airwolf is a terrific disaster that is plagued by poor controls, a worse map, and a notion that could have worked. Lets admit that Airwolf was cool. However, the game falls flat and leaves us wanting less, much less!

NHL All-Star Hockey ’95 – Sega Genesis

With the death of couch co-op nigh, many gamers are looking on the back of every game case in their local GameStop for the elusive phrase “Local: 1-2 Players” to no avail. What if I told you I have found a substitute for expensive sports games? For the answer, click the link above. For the short answer, just read the above link. Either way, enjoy this review of Sega Sports’ ’95 NHL game for the Genesis!

Punch-Out!! – NES

Take a trip down memory lane when LifeShowChris reviews an oldie but goodie. If the review is a knockout, the game certainly is.
