Fan Scene: Beats of Rage mods for your Dreamcast

Monday, April 25th, 2011

Trust the fan scene to keep the Dreamcast alive!

DCEvolution have put together a page of Beats of Rage mods for the Dreamcast. Some are old and some are new. They all use the fantastic OpenBOR engine and generally offer some great beat-em-up action for Dreamcast owners needing to scratch that itch. There’s some wonderfully weird mods like an Ed, Edd & Eddy one, an Elfen Lied one and of course, a Kill Bill one!

Click here to be taken to the download page for the mods.

So what are you waiting for? Click here to grab some great, free, beat-em-up action for your Dreamcast. Grab a copy of Discjuggler from here (to burn the game images) and some blank CDs and you’ll be on your way!

Fan Scene: Golden Axe Myth Released

Monday, April 25th, 2011

Golden Axe Myth is a new Golden Axe fangame developed using OpenBOR; a Streets of Rage-style engine made specifically to power the development of side-scrolling beat-em-ups. The game has recently been released along with a downloadable soundtrack and art ‘book’.

You can get all three by visiting the site using this link.

Unlike a lot of OpenBOR games, the graphics for Golden Axe Myth are completely drawn from the ground up giving the game a completely unique look. Take a look at some gameplay footage below:

Video Spotlight: Modern Sonic’s Green Hill in Full

Monday, April 25th, 2011

Want to see a complete act of modern Sonic’s Green Hill from Sonic Generations?

I think it’s safe to say the Hedgehog Engine that made it’s debut in Sonic Unleashed is definitely powering Sonic Generations. You could easily mistake this video for the announcement of new DLC for Unleashed!

SEGA have announced a new, free-to-play online MMO for PC called Spiral Knights. The game is being developed by Three Rings who are also responsible for Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates.

Review: Batman Returns for Mega CD

Tuesday, March 15th, 2011

My Mega CD addiction continues! This time we’ve got Batman Returns, developed by Malibu Interactive.

The game is actually a continuation of the film’s storyline and not an interpretation of it. The Mega CD version adds extra Batmobile stages to the original Mega Drive version’s platforming stages as well as a new soundtrack composed by Spencer Nilsen.

Click here to be taken straight to the review where you’ll find out whether this is worth adding to your Mega CD collection!

Review: Road Avenger for Mega CD

Monday, February 28th, 2011

Ever wanted to shunt baddies off the road in an invincible death-mobile and watch them explode like in the films? Well Road Avenger is the game for you!

I’ve just uploaded a complete review of the Mega CD FMV-fest and you can read it by clicking this link. There’s a lot of FMV games on the Mega CD; is this one to hit or miss?

Now sing it with me!

Guest Review: Sonic Chronicles The Dark Brotherhood

Sunday, February 27th, 2011

Helen’s at it again with a review of Sonic’s only foray into RPG-Land; Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood for Nintendo DS. You can access her review by clicking this link.

Again, Helen takes an interesting approach by reviewing this with no prior Bioware knowledge and judges the game on its’ own merits. It also takes a more observational stance.

Guest Review: SEGA Superstars Tennis

Sunday, February 27th, 2011

The lovely Helen Doherty has reviewed the X-Box 360 version of SEGA Superstars Tennis for SEGADriven. You can access the review by clicking this link.

Helen takes an interesting, retrospective approach with this review by comparing the game to Sumo Digital’s more recent Superstars entry, ‘Sonic and SEGA All-Stars Racing’. She also takes into account that the game can now be purchased for a very low, second-hand price (£3 from CEX!? Get involved!).

Massive thanks to Helen for reviewing this!
