Reviews and stuff

I think I'm getting the hang of this, its not to bad. So what have I got for ya.
I got a TK adress at time of writing it wasn't working but it should be soon http://www.shades-stuff.tk

Microsoft have announced that they will be unveiling XBox 2 on MTV on May 12th before E3, tbh I'm not expecting anything much, just a high powered console with wireless controllers, this will lack innovation and once you get over the pretty graphics you'll find that the gameplay of the games are the same as on its prequal.

Star Wars Ep III on DS actually looks like it could be fun look at the Trailer but then again most Star Wars games tend to suck.

Here are a couple of short reviews for ya of recent stuff I've been playing on the good ole Dreamcast

Trizeal- Dreamcast
The latest Dreamcast release from Japan is yet again a 2D Traditional Shooter conversion from the Naomi Arcade board. Developed by Troubled developer Triangle Service and published by Sega. The action is fast and furious as well as challenging. The ship can fire laser, multiple bullets, Rockets and has a bomb that'll destroy everything on the screen. You can get power ups which will add bullets to the missle mode. The game is hard but easy to start, the speed of the game is awsome and is so much fun to play and the music is pretty good as well. Unlike the last few DC shooters this has a two player mode and actually has some extas like a bonus stage, lifting sub game and you can unlock the ship XIISTAG. My version of the game came with a free bandana and a Bonus Track music CD. Heres the downside, this game is doesn't really further the genre and is not really different to other shooters.
This is well worth the purchase.

Rage of the Streets- Dreamcast(Homebrew)
This is the lastest mod using the game engine Beats of Rage. Beats of Rage is game engine where games like Streets of Rage can be created.
Rage of the Streets is based on Streets of Rage, it contains Axal, Max, Blaze, Skates and Zan. Your mission is to rescu adam, all the special moves are here, the backgrounds are based on Streets of rage but are not directly from Streets of Rage, the music is remixes from the streets of rage games. But the action feels slow and only the "Y" is easy to do, the controller has trouble reconisng the forward, forward, X move which is a shame. But I will still say that this is the best BOR mod to date with Hatchet Ninjas being the second. Download it here
