Air Offensive 16303e
Monday, April 15, 2019
Air Offensive is a budget-priced arcade flying game. You hover more than fly here, forever gliding on a sleek invisible pillow, fighting enemy craft spread over voxel-rendered maps. It reminds one a lot of Thunder Brigade, except you control your craft with the keyboard and not the mouse or joystick. The missions are also a […]

Crime Cities 3d3d5h
Sunday, March 24, 2019
Fans of G-Police will instantly dig into Crime Cities. Taking place in a future world that owes as much to the Fifth Element as it does to Blade Runner, the game casts you as a hovercar-driving undercover cop out to blow away the bad guys, earn cash by taking jobs, and not get dead. It’s […]

AI WARS: The Awakening 2l63j
Saturday, March 2, 2019
Another case of forgotten 90s weirdness. AI Wars aspires to be an action/RPG somewhat along the lines of System Shock 2 or TRON. It’s one of many 90s experimental games. Your avatar explores a complicated 3D environment in search of the cash, s, and technologies necessary to achieve your goals, deceiving or fighting its way […]

Firestarter 634c2g
Monday, February 25, 2019
GSC Game World, Ukrainian developer who would later create STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl, was still a small company when it created Firestarter. Like Croteam’s Serious Sam series, this title rejects the notion that first-person shooters must be deep, thought provoking and complex. Firestarter contains 16 levels of frenzied sci-fi action, with each broken down into […]

Terminator 3: War of the Machines 81h4t
Saturday, February 23, 2019
War of the Machines is essentially “Battlefield 2042: Terminator.” It’s humans versus machines, with 32-player Internet and LAN play, lots of vehicles, different maps set in all sorts of post-nuclear worlds – a ruined ocean harbor, devastated highways, Tech Com and SkyNet bases, crumbling factories, downtown future Los Angeles, etc. The concept behind Terminator 3 […]

The Stalin Subway 2: Red Veil 1x5iq
Friday, February 22, 2019
A poorly veiled attempt at making an incompetent shooter. There aren’t enough shooters set in the totalitarian confines of Soviet Russia. The last good game which gave us a tangential tour through the Motherland was No One Lives Forever 2, but it wasn’t exactly that memorable of an experience. A genuine exploration of the political […]

Carnivores: Cityscape 4m6b3k
Thursday, February 14, 2019
As if the first three Carnivores games weren’t the cause of enough suffering, along comes Carnivores Cityscape, which tries to offer a more traditional first-person take. (The operative word is tries.) You get two campaigns, unique mission objectives, and even a multiplayer component. But sadly, like the previous Carnivores games, Cityscape is just a Festival […]

Carnivores: Ice Age 463k5f
Wednesday, February 13, 2019
Will the madness never end? Since the release of Deer Hunter in 1997 approximately ten thousand hunting “games” have been released. Cue the release of Carnivores: Ice Age, the third game in the Carnivores series. In Carnivores: Ice Age, you travel around hunting ice age-era mammals like the smilodon (saber-tooth tiger), the wooly mammoth, and […]

Mortal Coil 6ty2t
Sunday, January 20, 2019
You can gracefully chuck Mortal Coil into the heap of forgotten 90s shooters. It’s a first-person sci-fi game with an odd team-based element that’s more gimmick than anything. You can give waypoints and command fellow team-mates around, but mostly they just tag along and frequently get in your way when you’re trying to shoot. Squad […]
