Classic Game Room HD reviews KANE AND LYNCH 2 DOG DAYS for Xbox 360 (also for Playstation 3 PS3) from Io-Interactive, Eidos and Square Enix. This cinematic romp through the Shanghai underground is full of blood, carnage and bodies as Kane & Lynch take on thousands of bad guys after a deal goes wrong. Fans of ultra violent shooters with high production value should get a thrill out of Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days even if the game is fairly average as shooters go. A stylish wide angle lens, grainy filter and constand handheld camera movement effect liven up the gameplay and drop the player into some of most action-packed Hong Kong action films from the past 30 years. This CGR review of Kane & Lynch 2 has gameplay from Kane and Lynch 2 showing video game play in action.
Classic Game Room HD reviews HEAVY FIRE: SPECIAL OPERATIONS for Nintendo Wii from the Wii Shop Channel. This download WiiWare game is like Operation Wolf meets Modern Warfare. Set in Somalia, you shoot "terrorists" or something... basically pop up targets that pose a minimal threat. Heavy Fire is an arcade style shooter on rails with predictable gameplay and functioning controls. Play single player or co-op with a friend. Shoot enemies for points but don't expect much variety in game play, locations or enemies. Heavy Fire is a bare bones budget light gun style shooter that gets the job done for an affordable price, but true arcade gun game aficionados should look elsewhere. This CGR review of Heavy Fire Special Operations on Nintendo Wii has gameplay from Heavy Fire Special Operations Wiiware on Nintendo Wii showing on rails shooter game play.
Classic Game Room reviews DEAD RISING 2: CASE ZERO from Capcom for Xbox 360, a prologue / prequel to the full game, DEAD RISING 2! Play as Chuck Green in this short Dead Rising 2 standalone download video game (you don't need the full game to play this). At time of release Dead Rising 2: Case Zero was 400 points and packs a short story but lots of zombie slaying mayhem and achievement points. This CGR review of Dead Rising 2: Case Zero has gameplay from Dead Rising 2: Case Zero from Capcom showing gameplay on Xbox 360.
Classic Game Room reviews DEAD RISING 2 for PlayStation 3 PS3 (available on Xbox 360 and PC) from Capcom, a video game where you slap zombies in the face with "massagers". You play as Chuck Green, motocross champion and all-around handsome guy who fights waves of zombies let loose after the "Terror is Reality" game show is sabotaged in order to save his daughter and clear his name. Combine awesome household items and hardware into crazy weapons like the paddle-saw and handheld lawnmower thing. Save survivors, get keys and drive vehicles around Fortune City and crush zombies. Unlock trophies and achievement points while you rack up huge zombie kills and level Chuck up. Dead Rising 2 is mercilessly addictive and will keep players coming back for more to slaughter endless waves of zombie freaks. This CGR review of Dead Rising 2 from Capcom on PS3 has gameplay from Dead Rising 2 showing video game play in HD action from Dead Rising 2, also on Xbox 360 and PC.
This CGR review of Capcom's Sengoku Basara: Samurai Hereos features PS3 video game play of Sengoku Basara Samurai Heroes showing Playstation 3 gameplay in HD action. This awesome hack and slash action game should appeal to fans of the Dynasty Warriors / Samurai Warriors / Ninety Nine Nights II videogame series with its over the top action and multiple characters with upgradable weapons.
Classic Game Room reviews MARIO KART 64 for Nintendo 64 from Nintendo released in 1996 / 1997. The Mario Kart series moves to 3D style gameplay with this release of Mario Kart 64 on N64 and can be purchased today on the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console. This CGR video review review of Mario Kart 64 has Mariokart 64 gameplay showing Mario Kart 64 game play in HD action on N64. MarioKart 64 is one of the classic entries in the series and remains one of the most popular Mariocart videogames to date from Nintendo.
Classic Game Room reviews DUKE NUKEM 3D for Sega Saturn. The hilarious, iconic first person shooter from 3D realms originally released in 1996 found its way onto the Sega Saturn shortly thereafter. Sluggish gameplay with lag and delay basically ruins what is otherwise an awesome first person shooter. While Duke Nukem 3D is playable on the Sega Saturn and a truly awesome videogame, there are better versions of Duke Nukem 3D out there (PC and Xbox 360). This CGR review of Duke Nukem 3D has gameplay from Duke Nukem 3D showing game play on Sega Saturn.
Classic Game Room reviews the SNK Neo-Geo Pocket Color handheld game console from 1999! This sequel to the black and white NeoGeo Pocket had color and higher hopes but still failed to gain a foothold against the Nintendo Game Boy and Sega Game Gear. Lack of a backlit screen and small software library kept the SNK Neo Geo Pocket Color to a niche market, but that doesn't mean it isn't awesome. The Neo-Geo Pocket Color is a 16-bit hand held videogame console with games like Samurai Shodown and Gals Fighters that have a catchy cartoony look and awesome gameplay. It has a thumbstick instead of a D-pad and two buttons. Because of the non-backlit screen the Neo Geo Pocket has excellent battery life. Its design is pleasing and the SNK NeoGeo Pocket Color has a handy portable size which fits your hands well and makes gameplay comfortable. CGR reviews Neo-Geo Pocket Color video games on Classic Game Room review show.
Classic Game Room & CGR Undertow review ROCK BAND 3 from Harmonix, MTV Games and EA for PlayStation 3, also available for Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii. CGR reviews Rock Band 3 for PS3 with Rock Band 2 instruments (that work freshy fresh). The big, new thing with Rock Band 3 is the ability to play with the new Rock Band 3 instruments in the Pro mode (Professional Mode) which play more like real instruments giving a much more challenging experience. Real musicians rejoice, pro mode is here! For the rest of us who enjoy pushing plastic buttons Rock Band 3 remains very similar to Rock Band 2 and works with the awesome Rock Band music store (as well as many tracks from previous games). New challenges and a new career mode await you as well as trophies and achievement points. Songs included with Rock Band 3 range from 80's pop hits by the Cure, Big Country, INXS and Huey Lewis and the News as well as metal tracks from Anthrax and Dio. This CGR review of Rock Band 3 has gameplay from Rock Band 3 on PS3 showing game play during Rock Band 3 played solo and with bass guitar, drums, guitar and singing. This videogame review of Rock Band 3 includes positive reviews of the music from the game as well as a review look at the Ministry Track Pack 2 and Muse available from the Rock Band music store.
Classic Game Room reviews MEDAL OF HONOR: SPECIAL EDITION for Playstation 3 PS3 from Danger Close, DICE and EA. Is this the Call of Duty Modern Warfare killer it was hyped up to be or is Medal of Honor just another first person shooter? The game takes place in Afghanistan where you play as several U.S. Military soldiers fighting waves of bad guys with a variety of machine guns and sniper rifles. Awesome visuals and sound design aren't quite enough to really make the game stand out though as predictable gameplay and jerky cut-scenes make this a "me-too" effort. CGR loves the helicopter scenes though, MORE HELICOPTER!! This CGR review of Medal of Honor has gameplay from Medal of Honor Special Edition on PS3 showing Medal of Honor video game play in HD action. Medal of Honor Special Edition comes with Medal of Honor Frontline remastered.
Classic Game Room reviews MORTAL KOMBAT TRILOGY for PlayStation from Midway and Williams, a collection of 32 fighters (plus 4 classic ones), brutality, fatality, babality and animality moves and lots of those Mortal Kombat environments. This CGR review of Mortal Kombat gameplay during Mortal Kombat Trilogy on PlayStation plays on PlayStation 3 with arcade style fighting videogame game play from Mortal Kombat.
Classic Game Room reviews the Wii MOTION PLUS accessory for Nintendo Wii, the add-on for the Wiimote which gives Wii MotionPlus controls to games like Tiger Woods 11 and Wii Sports Resort.
Classic Game Room reviews FALLOUT: NEW VEGAS for PlayStation 3 (also available for Xbox 360 and PC). Fallout New Vegas is very similar to Fallout 3 in many respects except that it takes place in the Western United States in and around Las Vegas which is now called New Vegas. All new enemies and crazy characters await like the Legion, Caesar, The New California Republic and Mr. House. Why was your character shot and buried alive only to be dug up by a robot? How many fun things can you do with a flamethrower in New Vegas? (lots) Fans of Fallout will most likely enjoy Fallout New Vegas gameplay but don't expect anything drastically different from Fallout 3. Wandering deserts, burned out buildings and dark spaces while shooting enemies with an awesome array of weapons is par for the course. This CGR review of Fallout New Vegas has Fallout New Vegas gameplay showing Fallout New Vegas game play footage during a video review of Fallout New Vegas for PS3 / Xbox 360.
