Video Games Of The Week

Game of the Week Switch

Action

Always one of the most unlikeliest names for a video game hero, Earnest Evans Collection contains his a fore named game Earnest Evans from the Mega CD era, besides the seminal MD El Viento and the cult classic from the Mega CD Anett Futatabi. Telenet always had such devoted followers and these three titles demonstrate why.

Game of the Week Switch

Action

A huge license in Japan based on the classic manga. You play the role of Mr. Saeba – a bit of a Japanese bond, fond of both ladies and firearms. Good advise would be to keep em peeled for the helpful nurse on each level. Reminiscent of Rolling Thunder in parts. Brought back for the modern era thanks to a fabulous live-action film on Netflix.

Game of the Week Switch

Shoot Em Up

Much-cherished Milestone shoot ’em up gets a Switch reboot and there are Hitchcock overtones for this crow related shooter. Utilises power ups for the shot, sword and shield giving it a strategic element. Known as also ‘Crows’ and ‘Karous’.

Game of the Week Switch

platform

Includes the rare DS version Gallery of Labyrinth –  Gothic chic has never looked so good as Count Dracula tries with all his vim and vigour to rid himself and his mansion of the trespassing Belmont clan – even if protagonists Jonathan and Charlotte’s links to the Belmont ancestry are slim. Both players have a different skills set. Keeps true to the manuscript of the Castlevania tradition and those familiar with its whip cracking action will feel right at home in the spooky splendour of the Counts castle. Concessions are made to the modern gamer in being able to plough right through quickly, yet the seasoned vampire slayer will take their time to explore the plethora of in game secrets. Plus players can leap into paintings to take on off shoots from the castle with plenty of visual variety in this platformer set in WWII. The bosses mark a stunning return to form and show the Konami team to not be shy on eating cheese before bed. Another fine DS conversion in Castlevania Order of Ecclesia included too: Konami style alright – packed full with a bounty of varied levels and surprises all drawn in the most chic gothic fashion as the developers seem to have been hanging around the streets of Shinjuku with Gackt look a likes as much as Transylvanian castles. Plenty of innovative touches and a commendable blend of keeping true to the series traditions and bringing in new blood. Finally includes the arcade version of Castlevania: Akumajo Dracula Revisited, also known as Haunted Castle.

Strikes a fine balance between the night time excitement of being out on the town and the thrill of the dice being thrown on the table. Well presented and good fun.
Playstation
RPG
Stunningly illustrated sprites along with soothing soundtrack that can snap to contain more menace than the Flight of the Valkyries within an instant. Genki wonders how its possible to weave together so many different, deep characters.
Playstation
Action
Fondly recalled and with mightily impressive draw distances and reflections as the plane must be guided through caverns and aquariums to get to the goal. A Venetian style level is contrasted against the neon city scape too.
Dreamcast
A Bit Special
A Japan exclusive that was only on sale between the 16th and 24th of December 1999 and could only be used between that period to send a message to a love one at Christmas.

Developed from an anime series, Shaman King sees you being able to charge up a spirit meter through pressing the correct button when urged to do so by your spirit persona. When the meter is full the persona can be summoned to unleash a frenzied assault on your unexpecting opponent in true over the top anime style. Exquisite presentation as you’d expect from Bandai.
Playstation
RPG
The City of Gold style anime introduction certainly gets Genki all misty-eyed and ready for this RPG quest with smaller scale sprites allowing players to breeze through its locales on their epic quest. Subtitled Souheiden.

The Para Para dance craze swept Japan like the cherry blossom front with deeply tanned girls and bleached blond boys tossing about there limbs in the clubs from Shibuya to Sekijo. This controller allows players to follow the onscreen prompts by passing over the sensors at the right time. Good exercise and very useful for night clubbing (in a slightly retro fashion.)
Sony Hardware
Controller
Improve your dance step using this DDR mat compatible with the Playstation titles. Far better to practise in the comfort of your own home before unleashing your moves on the arcade groupies. Genki keeps the curtains firmly shut when grooving and gyrating, for now…
