Mortal Kombat: Unchained – PSP
Midway (and its successors) have always been fans of releasing various updates and ports of Mortal Kombat games. Mortal Kombat: Unchained is one of the most worthy handheld MK games, featuring all of the content from console versions of MK: Deception as well as 6 extra characters, 4 of which are exclusive. Unchained is one of the better titles to add to your PSP library.

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe – 360
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe marked a strange turn for the MK franchise, trading in its contemporary sword-and-sorcery setting for something more inline with a comic book crossover. The results are interesting and worth checking out for fans of either franchise, but ultimately, I don’t think it’s an experiment worth repeating.

PaRappa the Rapper – PSP
PaRappa the Rapper was one of the first music and rhythm games of the modern era and this PSP version captures all of its quirkiness, though falls behind in a few other respects.

Need a gateway game into the Fire Emblem series and tactical RPGs in general? Well Fire Emblem: Awakening is a really beginner-friendly title that helped the Doc start her adventure into the strategical genre.

Toy Story – Sega Genesis
Pixar is known for making some of the best CGI films out there. But what about the games based on their movies? Video game adaptations of movies are notorious for being terrible, but could this be the one exception?

Super Thunder Blade – Sega Genesis
Blasting onto your Genesis is the 1989 arcade hit, Thunder Blade. Except this time around, it’s going to be super. While Thunder Bird may have been a big hit back in the day, how does this game play today?

Mortal Kombat Gold – Dreamcast
Mortal Kombat Gold is a Sega Dreamcast exclusive that was supposed to be a 6th generation update to MK4. While it added a few characters, it failed to make improvements to the core gameplay of MK4 and even introduced some problems of its own!

The Incredible Crash Dummies – Sega Genesis
Do you remember the early 90s toy line The Incredible Crash Dummies by Tyco? Well, you may recall they had a few video games released towards the end of the series’ lifespan. And who published the games? None other than LJN, of course! Come take a ride with ZB through the Sega Genesis obstacle course to see if this is yet another of LJN’s famed flubs.

Halo 3 – Xbox 360
Halo 3 retains many of the same things that made the first two so great; flawless controls, stellar voice acting, and improved graphics. Unfortunately, the story falls short enough to drag the rest of the game with it. With a rushed plot and underused characters, Halo 3 has enough good qualities to be playable, but don’t expect an exciting conclusion.

Alien Carnage – PC
Alien Carnage is one of the more obscure titles in Apogee Software’s publishing library, and for good reason. With relatively sedate gameplay and a confused identity not helped by the seemingly random choice to name the heroic protagonist “Halloween Harry” (seriously?), this third-party title failed to cash in on the popularity of such titles as Duke Nukem II. Is it better than we’ve given it credit for, or was this game out almost out of fuel to begin with?
