What You Need to Know Video Games







icoPosted by: admin  :  Category: Games

Video games give little boys the opportunity to play major league sports in the comfort of their own home, and fantasize about what it would be like if they donned a colorful jersey of their favorite football or basketball team and took on their opponent in a National playoff game.

These action sports are displayed in realistic regulation sized court settings that come complete with the cheering fan sounds that come from a sell-out crowd, or a player might be subjected to boos and hisses from fans, that are emitted following a bad play on the playing field that resulted in an interception when the ball is on the 10 yard line.

Classic Game Room HD – CYBORG JUSTICE for Sega Genesis







icoPosted by: admin  :  Category: Action Games


Classic Game Room was the FIRST classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999. Returning in 2008 with new episodes, Classic Game Room breaks out a review of CYBORG JUSTICE on the Sega Genesis video game console system. Cyborg Justice on the Megadrive is much like Streets of Rage 2 or Double Dragon on the NES. It is a side scrolling adventure beat ‘em up action game in the arcade style which allows one or two players. The problem here is that Streets of Rage has far better controls on the Mega Drive than this games does. CGRHD enjoyed Cyborg Justice for a few minutes but it does get repetitive. We’d rather be watching Barbarella, listening to Duran Duran or eating hamburgers (or all of the above at once) The game claims you can build 216 killer cyborg robots with things like power saws, flamethrowers and laser beams but poor, clumsy controls ruin them before you can use them to eviscerate your enemies. Are you looking for the best most exciting 2D side scroller on the Genesis? The Classic Game Room team recommends MAZIN SAGA MUTANT FIGHTER instead of Cyborg Justice, but that’s just our opinion. Perhaps you like repetition and using the same controls over and over again on the MD gaming console. If that’s the case then the gameplay will be right up your alley. Classic Game Room was the original classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999-2000, now on DVD. The reviews on the HD series are reviewing PS3, PS2, Genesis, NES, Atari and Xbox 360.

In Power Grid, a new power market has opened up and everything is up for grabs. Compete against other power suppliers as you work your way towards becoming the biggest power supplier in the land. Build power plants and control the market for raw materials such as garbage, oil, coal and uranium. Connect cities to your power grid before others do and become the greatest power magnate!
