Earlier this week, I saw Game Informer reviews editor Joe Juba jump up and do a little dance around the office. The reason? He had just read a headline stating that action drama 24 will be returning for a ninth season. Reiner and myself started talking to him about the insane adventures of Jack Bauer... More

Capcom's Onimusha series took real life characters from history and retold actual historical battles with supernatural elements.

A long-time Replay viewer suggested we take a look at Dinosaurs for Hire, a Sega Genesis title based on the short-lived Malibu Comic book series of the same name. We're going to have to listen to our viewership more often. Seeing dinosaurs as protagonists in a Contra-like sidescroller is as fascinating... More

In this year's Super Replay Showdown , the game I was fighting for was arguably the worst of the bunch. I had heard stories of the insane and hilarious physics of Jurassic Park: Trespasser, and the whole boob tattoo health meter sounded ridiculous. Despite hearing these stories on several occasions...

Earthbound is finally coming to the Wii U's Virtual Console , but we refused to wait any longer to play Nintendo's quirky RPG classic again, so we dove into our vault and took it for a nostalgic spin. Join three Earthbound fans (Jeff Cork, Kyle Hilliard, and Kimberley Wallace ), and one person... More

A few weeks ago, we asked the Overblood/Replay Facebook community what they'd like to see for a Replay. We let them organize the poll and vote among themselves, and the winner was the fondly-remembered Eternal Darkness for Gamecube. Watch below to see Tim Turi, Andrew Reiner, Jeff Cork, and myself...

Licensed titles have seen a spotty history throughout console generations, The Playstation 2 era was filled with many mediocre-to-terrible titles like 24, The Sopranos: Road To Respect, Reservoir Dogs, Scarface, and plenty more. Another licensed title that didn't exactly set the world on fire is... More

On March 6, Andrew Reiner, Ben Reeves, and myself made our weekly visit to the Vault to pick a game to play for Replay. Reiner knelt down by the GameCube wall, Ben Reeves scoured our PSone shelves, and I looked over our Dreamcast selection. Near the top was a game that I had never heard of, but instantly... More

Back in the mid-90s, FMV games were destined to become the future of the industry. Consoles were technically capable of presenting actual images of people and environments, so why would any sucker go back to boring old sprites and polygons? Well, it turns out that being limited to actual footage limits... More

In the mid '90s, Looking Glass Studios innovated on the FPS genre by creating a slow-placed stealth game fraught with tension.

Game Informer's Replay crew has played a ton of crappy games. First there was Overblood , then Galerians , then Overblood 2 , then Cyberia , and we just finished up Blue Stinger . While these games are unforgivably awful, I wouldn't trade my time with them for anything. From the statue falling... More

Crystal Dynamics is best known for their work on Tomb Raider, Legacy of Kain, and Gex. One of their Playstation titles is rarely talked about when discussing the company's history, and that's the action platformer Akuji the Heartless.

In this episode of Replay, we take a trek with the famed Aya Brea from Parasite Eve. A PS1 horror/RPG hybrid, Parasite Eve made its mark with its strong female lead and backdrop of New York City. In the video below, we take a look at the opening. Yes, that includes the infamous opera scene. So sit back... More

It's time once again for the Super Replay Showdown. If you remember last year's inaugural tournament , you'll remember the rules. Several Game Informer editors (last year had eight entries, this year features ten) get a chance to choose the game that they'd most like to see as our next... More

One of the most unique Wii titles revolved around a spider, a scorpion, and actors Billy Bob Thornton and the late Dennis Hopper. THQ released Deadly Creatures in 2009 to little fanfare, but many that played it were charmed by its quirkiness. This week, we see if that charm holds up. Be sure to stick... More

Vampires may be all over pop culture today, but they weren't quite as ubiquitous back in the early 2000s. They still reared their heads every once in a while, though, and one of those times was in BloodRayne for PS2. In this episode of Replay, we take a look at the first game in the series, which... More
