Alien Soldier hits the Virtual Console

Are you scared? I’m scared. Hold me.
Alien Soldier exploded onto the Virtual Console today for eight bucks nine dollars? What? What tomfoolery is this?
Oh! It’s never had a real North American release, you say? A sidescrolling run-and-gun shooter by Treasure, you say? Made predominantly of rockin’ boss fights, you say? Not on the Sega […]

The $10,000 question

The question? How much would you pay to be the proud owner of one of the (very) few Sega Dreamcast Zip Drives?
Well, for the pricey sum of $10,000, you too could be the proud owner of this fine piece of hardware!

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on XBLA

This week’s XBLA game is none other than Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Funny, considering the Virtual Console got Sonic the Hedgehog 3 this past Monday.

With his new Super Spin Dash and “Tails” the Fox, Sonic is back and better than ever in Sonic The Hedgehog 2! Defy gravity in hair-raising loop-de-loops, bounce like a pinball […]
