Video Games Of The Week

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 Super Famicom

platform

Redesigned packaging to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of this still stunning Super Famicom platformer with gothic overtones, stunning shafts of sunshine and fleeting shadows. A rare SFC title in the mould of such sublime titles as Demons Crest and Nosferatu with a twist of the graphical skills of the Actraiser teams. Some of the in-game assailants and bosses are more than a bit twisted looking like they just broke out of the Splatter House. The main hero can thankfully upgrade his skills as the supernatural bosses are dispatched – all the way up to the big hoedown with the Demon King. And these transformations help even if the concept of becoming a demon to beat them doesn’t sit too nicely when surrounded by such creepy creatures.

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.

Action
Import only exclusive title in which you battle robots but can also customise the main body, legs, gun, bomb and special weapon to last longer. Easy to see why this game was so popular in Japan sparking a sequel with some light RPG elements to distract from the heavy metal fights.
Mega Drive
Action
A futuristic game of handball with cyborg suits and unforgiving metallic court as players get the steel ball down the far end to try and score by hook or by crook. Reminiscent of the cult movie classic Rollerball.
Mega Drive
Simulation
Snatcher style gameplay with a sci fi setting packed with tension as the story gradually cocoons you up. Graphically and aurally pleasing and well worthy of a second look.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Romance and adventure all set to a typical game music (like you get lift music, apart from game music) and an imperial, fantasy setting: think Heroic Legend of Arslan anime. Ticks all the right boxes and a popular series that spanned onto the PCFX and Playstation.

Demonstrating that video games can indeed be high art comes these coaster inspired by the Darius series.

Mega Drive
Sports
One of the most collectable Japanese Mega Drive games and much sort after for the completist. The sound effects include the hooter, squeaking shoes and, of course, bouncing ball and the presentation is slick; making great use of the license.
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.
