An FPS that doesn't overstay its welcome, RAGE is a game filled with intense action and fun easter eggs (try looking for the goalposts). I've played through it twice on the XBOX 360 and three more times on Steam.
I was thinking about this game the other day after playing “Mad Max” and how I would love to revisit it again. It did many things better.
I have memories of the prologue, the world building, the combat, and the driving, all of which were fun. I just wish the story was finished.
I've replayed RAGE countless times, unlocked all the achievements (minus the multiplayer ones) and absolutely love it. I feel RAGE deserves more love than it gets, and it certainly deserves a spot on GOG amongst all the other id Software titles.
It may feel different to previous id titles, but it still had charm and pushed graphical capabilities at the time. RAGE truly feels like it's one of a kind.
As more and more id Software titles are added to GOG's storefront, Rage's absense only feels more glaring to me. Arguably the "ugly duckling" of id's line-up, even moreso than Doom 3, I believe Rage is a historically important game, both for it's game design and technology, and deserves a spot on GOG's storefront as much as id Software's other titles. Let's make it happen!

Jet Set Radio HDJet Set Radio HD is the latest remaster in a string of Dreamcast "hits" to see new life on download platforms, but Sega has been insistent that they've learned its lessons. The publisher has emphasized how hard it's trying to get things right this time, and for many, it couldn't have chosen a better game.
Jet Set Radio was part of Sega's onslaught of new properties with an emphasis on flash and style during the second wave of Dreamcast software, but it might be one of the more obscure. It's a game that almost everyone has heard of, but I think few have actually played. This was remedied somewhat with 2002's Xbox sequel Jet Set Radio Future. Unlike Sonic Adventure or the arcade hit Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio HD is the chance for many to finally play a game they've only heard about.
Nostalgia has the side effect of high expectations though, and Jet Set Radio HD just can't meet them. While the flash and style of Jet Set Radio HD remains untouched and unvarnished by a dozen years of progress, the rest of it can't stand up to scrutiny. Squirrely controls, camera catastrophes, and nonsensical level design make Jet Set Radio HD a better memory than game.Action
