Dino Crisis (Spoilers)


Capcom. Who here hasn't heard the name of the Japanese company best known for their work on Mega Man, Street Fighter, Ghosts'n Goblins, Resident Evil, and Devil May Cry? Even if you aren't familiar with them, chances are you heard one of these games listed above. In 1999 with the success of the survivor horror games, Resident Evil, it only made sense to further cash in with a new title, and that brings us to this week's review.

Armored Core


Transformers, more than meets the eye. Yeah, this has nothing to do with Transformers. This is an action, third person shooter, Mecha simulation developed by From Software in Japan. So, it's more like every single Anime to ever do with fighting robots.

Evil Zone


If you don't like Anime I suggest you turn back now.

Evil Zone, Eretzvaju in Japan, is a versus fighting game developed by YUKE's Future Media Creators (best known for their work on the WWE SmackDown series) and published by Titus Software in North America and Europe.

It should be noted that the game is not based off any existing Anime. The game is simply Anime inspired. More on that in a moment.

Spyro the Dragon


Spyro the Dragon. Another video game from my childhood that I have many fond memories of, and perhaps the only game I've played where the enemies actually moon you. Oh yes, they know you're literally going to toast their asses so why not show it to you?

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos


In the fall of 1997 Fox Interactive published Croc: Legend of the Gobbos by Argonaut Software for the Sony PlayStation, Sega Saturn, Microsoft Windows, and Game Boy Color. The game stars a young baby crocodile named Croc who was found by a species called the Gobbos. Everything was peaceful until one day where the evil Baron Dante invaded and captured the Gobbos and their ruler, King Rufus. Evading capture, Croc now stands alone with the challenging task of freeing the Gobbos and defeating Baron Dante.

Crash Bandicoot


Crash Bandicoot is a video game franchise formerly developed by Naughty Dog and published by Universal Interactive Studios for the Sony PlayStation. Later on when the games were moved to other publishers it would become available on multiple platforms. Once upon a time Crash Bandicoot was basically the PlayStation’s equivalent of Mario and Sonic.

Monster Rancher


Monster Rancher (originally Monster Farm in Japan) was a game released by Tecmo in North America for the Sony PlayStation in November 1997. It would go on to receive a cult following, earning four more sequels spanning from the PlayStation 1 to the PlayStation 2 and spin-off games for various consoles and even an Anime. Needless to say, Monster Rancher has found a place in many people's hearts, but let take a look at the first game. The one that started it all.
