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.

Sony Hardware
Controller
Fishing controller adding great realism to the sport’s sims on the Playstation. Whilst you my look a little strange frantically casting and reeling in the comfort of your living room, this shouldn’t be allowed to get in the way of bagging a nice fighting tench from the comfort of your own armchair with packed lunch on your lap. Ascii released this as a stand alone for other fishing games coming with the Tsurikon or Tsurikon 2 logo.
Playstation
A Bit Special
The Kids Station controller simplifies the buttons from the control pad making for simple mini games, but plenty of fun. The lower age range makes this a great tool for those learning Japanese, especially at Genki’s level.
Playstation
Simulation
A high end Playstation project with incredibly detailed animation and dramatic voice acting to crank up the tension, not that it particularly needs it at time.
Sony Hardware
Controller
Funky, foot tapping beats which players must match to the correct letter on their keyboard and at the right time. Super fly videos rolling the background, not that the player themselves will have much time to savour them. Plenty of variety in beats too, but Genki wont be trying any tricky trance tunes again.      
PS2
Action
Haunting Gothic adventure with a heavy emphasis on action and a delightfully spooky, old school feel to proceedings. Dripping with atmosphere and beautifully lit.
PS2
Action
All out sword slicing action with some sublime combos for the joypad dexterous. Sega have a superb heritage in sword play and action and this lesser-known, all-out action title deserves a second look. Just maybe not in the eye or risk a swishing blade in your direction.
PS2
Simulation
Showcasing all that is popular in these sim games: love interest, beautiful graphics and of course a few fights along the way. Considered actions are the order of the way as the interactions with other characters effect the overall endings in a form of gaming karma. A huge Sega title for the discerning otaku with a huge thank you from Sega in the form of this lovely limited edition.    
Sony Hardware
Controller
A very ergonomically snug pad for the PS2 taking inspiration from the elusive Saturn style that works a treat with beat em ups such as the many fighters its stable has produced. And its pure class on fighters.
