Video Games Of The Week

Game of the Week Switch

Action

Always one of the most unlikeliest names for a video game hero, Earnest Evans Collection contains his a fore named game Earnest Evans from the Mega CD era, besides the seminal MD El Viento and the cult classic from the Mega CD Anett Futatabi. Telenet always had such devoted followers and these three titles demonstrate why.

Game of the Week Switch

Action

A huge license in Japan based on the classic manga. You play the role of Mr. Saeba – a bit of a Japanese bond, fond of both ladies and firearms. Good advise would be to keep em peeled for the helpful nurse on each level. Reminiscent of Rolling Thunder in parts. Brought back for the modern era thanks to a fabulous live-action film on Netflix.

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 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.

A Bit Special
Nintendo have a fine tradition of challenging the gaming genres, many of which they established themselves. And Pikmin is a fine example as the wee creatures are dispatched to complete various tasks in what becomes a vey strangely compelling, highly-addictive game that is much easier to pick up and play than describe.  
PS2
Simulation
A Ring style visual novel that works the urban legend spooky story to its limit with some very bizarre going on to become a bit of a cult classic.
PS2
One on One Beat Em Up
Quite a unique feel to Psychic Force’s anime themed fights with psychic projections being used to attack, hence the title, often with spectacular graphical extravagance. Arenas are quite cramped in making for tacit battles taking place inside a cube where the players levitate a la DragonBall Z. Solid play mechanics make for an unusual, but worthy fighting frenzy. Pychic Force 2012 is an innovative anime stylised 3D fighter with original mode and arcade mode to choose from. Fights take place in cubic arenas allowing you full mobility to encircle your opponent before moving in for the kill. Its possible to use esp powers to slam your opponent into the walls with great satisfaction. Also includes Psychic Force 2012EX.    
PS2
Action
Gets right under your skin from the off as the sense of foreboding grows with each new assailant from the legions of the undead. The detail is a little too much at times.
PS2
Sports
The ultimate in gaming fantasy escape at the time of its release with a British major title being possible due to the appearance of Tim Henman in this slick tennis sim. Reveals its arcade roots in its simplicity to pick up but with a fiendish difficultly gradient after the opening rounds. The finest realistic tennis game. Brilliant with four players.
PS2
RPG
A real triple A title that brings to mind the delights of Goemons romps with a feudal Japan setting. The graphical look is innovative and feels like an animated New Years greetings card with such delightful execution. Played as the young wolf setting out on an epic adventure which we would hate to ruin. A real treat for lone wolfs from start to finish and worthy of higher accolades.

Tao

Famicom Cart
RPG
Mysterious, spiritual RPG that sees players going on a trip of enlightenment that you’d imagine would be a hard pitch for the modern day creators to their publisher. Almost as cult as the content of the game and definitely one of the most unusual stories one can encounter.
Famicom Cart
RPG
Juvei has plenty of cute, Mother-style sprite characters to join him, resplendent in his Black Jack eye patch, as he traverses the detailed RPG in this Famicom classic. Well worth investing the time that Namcot has clearly put into this exquisite adventure.
