Retro City Rampage Review: Beg, Borrow, Steal | TheVerge

Chris Plante writes: Retro City Rampage asks the question: Can man survive on nostalgia alone? It’s a game with more pop culture references than a Family Guy marathon. The first 10-minutes are a thrilling, manic tour of yesteryear, with references nested within references, pulverizing your senses at an unsustainable rate. But nostalgia, as we gamers know especially, is a drug. The first hit's the strongest, and the remainder of Retro City Rampage is spent chasing that original high.

This game is way too good for a 6/10.

Ok back to playing more RCR.

Oh look, another review of what's clearly a Retro style game (its right in the title), but scored by today's standards. Yea, moving on.

This reviewer was probably still sucking his mother tits when 16-bit was king. Its the only way I can explain this review score. He simply has no idea or ability to know how awesome the game is or all the references to games the rest of us played as kids.

6/10? This game is the bomb. It's as hard as old 8-bit retro games and has amazing gameplay. It's a great game. Tons of fun.

The Metal Gear throwback mission with Major Lee Solid was hilarious.

10 Genres That Are Missing From the Vita's Library

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."
