You could be forgiven if you didn’t know much about Pier Solar and the Great Architects, and its unusual history. But with a planned HD release of the classic-style RPG headed to consoles in late 2013, we thought it was time to shine a light on this fascinating project. We talked with developer... More

Every thousand years, the sun and the moon align and the "evil one" sends his son to Earth to undo all of creation. Such is the story of the long forgotten Warlock franchise. We dust off this pulp classic and see if we can defy the evil one. Watch Andrew Reiner, Kyle Hilliard, Ben Reeves, and... More

In our first exclusively junk food-related episode of Replay, we decided to take a look at a couple of 16-bit licensed platformers. For the main segment, we popped in Cool Spot, a 7up-themed game that several of us have fond memories of. Is it actually still good? Well, have any of you bought 7up in... More

Besides the so-so Contra: Hard Corps, Sega fans couldn't play any entry from Konami's awesome shooter series on the Genesis.

While these faces were the most famous, Sega had a popular platformer of their own before Sonic took off. In this week's Replay, we take a look back at a series that has essentially been... More

The Castlevania series has a long, proud heritage, but not every game in the franchise is a highly regarded classic. Bloodlines for the Genesis isn't a completely awful game, but it's definitely not as well-remembered as other Castlevania games. This week on Replay, we decided to take a look... More

Games based on movies are almost always crappy, and that's the case in 2011. Back in the 16-bit days, it was almost a certainty that they'd be terrible. However, one beloved Disney film made for a fantastic Genesis sidescroller (a slightly different version was on Super Nintendo, but we play... More
