Snatcher marks Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima’s second time as a video game director. The game was originally released in 1988 and was remastered and translated into English only once. The English language version of Snatcher appeared on the Mega-CD in 1994 and since Kojima’s breakout success with Metal Gear Solid, the game is become a highly sought-after title.
But is the game any good? Find out in our full review of Snatcher for the Mega-CD!

We love our shmups at SEGADriven and we’ve recently been playing quite a few on the Mega Drive. For today’s review we’ve decided to take a look at World War II-themed shooter Fire Mustang, a game that never made it out of Japan.

A new review!? That doesn’t happen very often!
Today I bring you a bumper review in the form of 3 Dreamcast indie games. We have decided to review DUX, DUX 1.5 and Redux: Dark Matters as a single, bumper review simply because the games are so similar and it’s a lot easier to compare the pros and cons against each of the games.
Click here to be taken to the full review or alternatively go the Dreamcast section under ‘First Party Reviews’ on our sidebar.

“Have you ever bought a game you were really excited about only to be disappointed? I’m sure we all have. Have you ever tried to convince yourself that said game is actually better than you think it is? Perhaps. Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed (now known as SASRT from here on) fits into both categories.”

Gunlord is the latest game from indie developers NG:Dev.Team who are better known for Last Hope and Fast Striker. In a slight move away from the shoot-em-up genre, they present us with an action game in the Turrican vain.
