Zero Gunner 2-: Making a Classic Affordable - Anyone interested in collecting video games has doubtless run into the issue of certain titles from previous console generations commanding astronomical prices. There are numerous reasons this might happen — perhaps the game had a very limited print run; perhaps it only came out in certain territories or perhaps it had problems with distribution when … Continue reading →

Dragon Blaze: Strikers 1495 - As we’ve already seen with the three Strikers 1945 titles, Psikyo is a developer that is more than happy to make incremental improvements to a formula rather than radically inventing things with each new game.

And… well, to be perfectly honest, they are very similar to one another, but Strikers 1945 II adds … Continue reading →
