Every year EA attaches another piece of flair to its Madden football game and sells it for 60 bones and you're left with last year's Madden which has so little trade-in value, you question whether it is a game at all. This is a problem. A new Madden game shouldn't come out every year. They should just release roster updates for a couple years then release a significantly improved game later. There has been no pressure on EA to make a great game since they acquired all the rights to the NFL... cough 2k sports, cough cough. Why eliminate the competition? Can we say monopoly?
"Gex Trilogy is a happy throwback. The first game is a little clunky and occasionally laborious, but its sequels do better in their 3D expansion of its themes and idea. The main point of appeal is its connection to the period in which they were made. It’s full of comic quirks, zinging dialogue, and visual gags that scream MTV Generation. Across all three entries, the media hook and its tropes — from horror to Christmas to 1930s prohibition gangsters — work well to keep things fresh, fun and engaging.
That said, while there's a simplicity to the games themselves, the yesteryear technology and the sensibilities of many gamers may have moved on, making their baked-in fetch quests trying at times. Gex Trilogy’s value is bumped up by its invention and still very playable design aspects, but whether or not you can pit yourself through them really comes down to how much your nostalgic mileage varies, dude." - Tom Massey | NintendoLife
Yes, it is once again tail time, thanks to Limited Run Games.
Tormeted Souls II has its apparent flaws, but it also happens to be a great horror game and throwback title to the classic survival horror days.
