FlatOut is without a doubt one of the best arcade racing game ever made with it's fully destructible environments, impressive physics engine, amazing graphics and goofy bonus minigames. The game is so much fun, it's a real pleasure to race and see other cars smashing into each other with the pieces flying everywhere on the screen. The driving feels so satisfying (especially in the mud), the arcady handling of the cars is just perfect. If you're a fan of old school racing game, this one is a must !
SHOCK TROOPERS is an all-time classic from the NEO GEO, a timeless masterpiece that you can play countless times and still have a blast. This is arcade run n' gun at it's finest and if you haven't played it yet you must give it a try. Unfortunately even though this game was released in the 90's and shouldn't be that hard to run on modern PC, this port suffers from occasional slowdowns which is really a shame...
METAL SLUG is an all-time classic from the NEO GEO, a timeless masterpiece that you can play countless times and still have a blast. This is arcade run n' gun at it's finest and if you haven't played it yet you must give it a try. Unfortunately even though this game was released in the 90's and shouldn't be that hard to run on modern PC, this port suffers from framerate drop and input lag which is really a shame...
A game from my childhood that I always remembered as awesome but obviously I was wrong... The first half of the game isn’t so bad I don’t know if it’s because of nostalgia but I really enjoy the first chapter, rushing trough enemies with your dual berettas is a lot of fun. But the more you progress the more the game feels generic and uninspired sometimes even lazy, it’s like they were having a lot of ideas when they start the project and then they start filling the void with what came first in their mind in order to make the game longer. The game has so may flaws it would take too long listing everything here but in short the IA is broken and the explosives are doing full damage even if you are behind a wall and because of that you’re going to die a lot which can be really frustrating sometimes. The game really feels unpolished or should I say unfinished and that’s a shame because otherwise it could have been a pretty good title. I would say it’s average, if you like the style of 90’s mindless shooter you may enjoy it. It was far from perfect but I had some fun finishing it.
Clive Barker's Undying is a really unique game, to say the least. Overall the dark atmosphere of the game is a treat for every horror fans out there, it's so well made it's hard to not feel fully immerged in Patrick Galloway's journey. The storyline is really good and the mystery surrounding the Convenant familly makes you want to play the game more and more. There are so many things to do, so many locations to explore, ennemies to fight, weapons to use, spells to learn, the game always have something new for you and it's great. Using a weapon with one hand and magic with the other is a great idea and the fact that you need to use some spells to reach new areas or found secrets is pretty clever. This game is amazing and if you've never played it before just do it now, it's totally worth the price !
Unreal Tournament is without a doubt one of the best multiplayer first-person shooter ever made. So good indeed that it's still relevant to this day with it's awesome and unique arsenal of weapons, beautiful maps, interesting game modes, old school techno music and it's graphics that still looks good almost 20 years later thanks to the very good work on the lighting. It's fast, It's gory, it's fun... it's a classic ! Gameplay Video: https://youtu.be/meTDHJfOWsA
