GAMINGtruth's own Indie Games Editor Derek Strickland delivers the verdict on VBlank Entertainment's parody-infused arcade Indie classic Retro City Rampage.
Whether you love wreaking havoc on an open, bit-style world with a variety of powerful weapons or crashing into everything in sight, RCR has something for everyone. With a huge city to explore, non-stop explosive action, and plenty of hilarious "lol" moments, RCR is a perfect fit for any fan of retro and classic video games.
Retro City Rampage is now available for PC and PlayStation 3 & PS Vita for $14.99. XBLA & WiiWare versions coming soon.
VGChartz;s Adam Cartwright: "For a console that can only really be seen as a commercial failure, the PlayStation Vita did extremely well for itself in terms of software – more than 1500 games are available for it and that figure is surprisingly still growing each week, despite the hardware being discontinued earlier this year and despite the rhetoric suggesting it’s only a good machine for indie 2D platformers and niche Japanese RPGs.
Unfortunately certain genres didn't receive any representation at all and act as glaring holes in the Vita’s software library. Some of these just aren’t particularly popular on consoles in general, such as city builders, which have been niche for years. It’s these genres I’m aiming to look at in this article – what they are (including examples of some modern entries in the genres), why they weren't represented on the Vita, as well as some suggestions about what alternatives are available to scratch that itch."
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "The official end of the WiiWare service may not be until early 2019 but we wanted to give everybody as much of a chance as possible to remember all of the great games that Nintendo’s first every download service brought us. Last week we counted down the first 10 games in our look at the Top 20 WiiWare games ever made, and if you haven’t had the chance yet you can check out those picks right here but now we switch our focus over to the very best that WiiWare has to offer so if you still have a Wii (or a Wii U) kicking around make sure to download these games before they are lost forever."

This game is a definite must-have for all fans of everything retro. You will laugh, you will yell, but most importantly, you'll have tons of fun.
It's funny how this was originally a WiiWare title and now it seems like it will come out last for it.
I love this game, so far.... some of the levels are really tough though..... especially one where you have to throw dynamite at 20 cars without dying.... that part was a BITCH.. had to use the 'GAWD' mode to get past it..
I have it on steam awaiting me to play it.
yeay, nice
