Video Games Of The Week

Game of the Week PS4

shoot em up

Raiden Fighters, Raiden Fighters 2 and Raiden Fighters Jet make up the trio of this compilation that goes in all guns blazing and takes no prisoners. The soundtrack is relentless, the in game characters given a millennial make over, yet veteran gamers may fear not as the action remains true to its pure adrenalin roots. Some may even be tempted to take advantage of the different play modes to flip back through a particularly turbulent section. A fine tribute to a much-loved series.

Game of the Week PS5

Shoot Em Up

Taking the original Reboot that sought authenticity to the original and cutting a bit loose on the broomstick with a new character, extra multipliers, graphical shift and the highly amusing enemy capture adding much hilarity. Gaming veterans Beep reveal their retro tattoos and it’s a young witch on a broomstick. A fine series to go back to, especially such a relatively unknown version.

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.

A very ergonomically snug pad for the PS2 taking inspiration from the elusive Saturn style that works a treat with beat em ups such as the many fighters its stable has produced. And its pure class on fighters.
Wonderswan
Simulation
A digital universe with some bizarre, some very cute digimons to interact with a power up your own collection as Bandai backs its swan song to the hilt.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
A well-established developer of love adventures which once again shows its hand is capable of beautifully drawn escapades.
Wonderswan
RPG
From the anime series comes this spin off adventure with original story and plenty of stunningly realised scenes.
Virtual Boy
Sports
Playable from behind the pugilists boxing gloves, you take on robot opponents in a slug fest. The 3D effect works well as the fists fly towards you.
Virtual Boy
Shooter
Plays like Star Fox done in vector graphics – all the levels and enemy ships to shoot at are made up of red lines, but it works well to give a fast flowing, fully 3D environment with the developers showing a fine eye for attention to detail. Various camera angles have been implemented to find the best one for enjoying the challenging levels and boss fights. Plenty of work has been put in on the controls too making them inherently intuitive with evasive rolls and tight turns. The player’s ship not only takes damage to the shields, but also runs low on fuel requiring pilots to posses a ruthless hit and fly streak to flourish. Mention must go to the atmospheric intro too.
Wonderswan
Sports
Kinikuman is an alien prince whose escapades are detailed in the Shonen Jump manga. This is a whacked out wrestling game could teach the WWF games a half nelson or two. Shrunk down sprite characters look good on the small screen with some great avatars to show the emotion behind the wrestling masks.
PS2
Sports
Wide, sweeping curves to savour as players put the pedal to the metal. Slick presentation as players swoop in from an aerial view to the finely tuned gaming engine. Plenty of visual treats too such as flags fluttering and balloons lazily drifting by.
