Demons Ate My Neighbors!
1991 — it seems like any other sweltering July in the sleepy suburbs of Fairweather Valley…until a cursed VHS unleashes untold horrors upon the neighborhood, turns the residents evil, and generally makes April & Joey’s summer a total bummer. Our heroes must exorcise their neighbors from hell, fight their way back to the haunted High School and rewind their summer to save the world!
Evoking moody ‘80s / ‘90s teen-horror with Saturday morning cartoons and a manic, humorous tone, Demons Ate My Neighbors! honors ‘90s co-op classics as only an unofficial SPIRITual sequel could.

Revenge on the Streets 2
I played this game because I quite like the first one, here comes the (first?) review:
Character
3 characters, no hidden character or such.
Each has different style of punching combos.
I like the fact that you can spam a flykick-uppercut combo from early stage, but in later stage you can’t because all the enemies start blocking.
Also make me think, how come they can block attacks but I can’t, that could be useful.
Compare to the first one, no unlockable characters, which is a little disappointing.

The TakeOver
This is an excerpt of my review published in the latest issue of Mega Visions Magazine, located here :
Perhaps looking back at how fans of the series have kept interest alive in Streets of Rage through mods, hacks and fan games, it shouldn’t be too surprising that a single fan has taken it upon himself to develop a next-generation 3D Streets of Rage spiritual successor that he’s always longed for.
That game is called The TakeOver and is being developed almost singlehandedly by an indie developer named Antonis Pelekanos (aka Pelikan13). Prior to The TakeOver, Pelekanos was developing ‘90s Arcade Racer that was funded via a successful Kickstarter campaign before publisher Nicalis purchased the rights to the game. Since then, Pelekanos has turned his full focus on The TakeOver and has consistently released frequent updates to the game with the final release expected in the coming months.

“OK, look. You’re…Well, you’re not like me. I mean, you’re not… human. I mean, you’re human, but you just… you’re not real. You’re not, like, a real person. Like me. You’re clones. You’re copies of people out here in the world.”
~The Island (2005)
Painfully obvious Final Fight / Streets of Rage rip-off. On UNITY. End of the story. No, seriously. That’s pretty much everything you should know about this game. It’s a clone of those good ol' beat ‘em ups with close to nothing special about it. Which means that $19.99 / £15.99 is a bit too much. Back in the days? I would be like “Yeah, right… Give me a proper new game, or GTFO”. Nowadays, though? I don’t think we can be picky. Just because a lot of old genres are dead now and we rarely get high quality games in them. And this one? There’s quite a lot of good about it.

Gravity Heroes
Excellent game. Lots of variety of character and scenarios. It brings an innovative gameplay. congratulations, I indicated to all my friends.
– Real player with 2.9 hrs in game
Target Audience: Those looking for a unique shooter with friends to play with
Summary:
Gravity Heroes is one of those games that has an interesting concept on the surface that actually does live up to how you’d want it to play out in terms of gameplay. The ability to move gravity does help a lot here without being overly powerful….as long as you use it correctly and skillfully. You’ll struggle a tiny bit at first as your brain needs a period of time to sorta “reset” how it thinks, but if you adapt, you’ll be matrix dodging and zooming across the map and dealing with the interesting problems put before you in level design and enemy placement. The game is easy to follow and look at for the most part and enemies have clear attack animations and readable tells, even if you end up running into them with the chaos of everything around you.

How much of this game I’ve played: 12 Hours, 35 minutes
How I’ve played so much: I had a pre-ordered non-steam copy.
Completed Main story, not the super secret boss area.
Here’s why you’d be interested in this game: Good rhymes, good story, old school gameplay.
Good rhymes: If you haven’t heard of BeNeVoLeNcE, you might have heard of Mega Ran - he’s known for clean nerdcore rhymes over chiptune beats and melodies. Hip Hop by both is featured in the game, and it’s not an “afterthought” like it might be in some games - the music is interwoven in with the story - it’s actually rewarding to gain access to the rhymes that go along with the instrumentals in different parts of the game.

Double Dragon Trilogy
At this point in the history of the franchise, you either “get” Double Dragon, or you don’t. This is a side-scrolling beat-em-up in it’s purest and simplest form. You can punch, kick, jump, jump kick, and do a scant few other moves. The enemies you’ll face all have personality, but it’s of the behavior-based variety. The game is challenging, particularly on the Original and Expert difficulties, but can be finished in a short amount of time… even shorter if you become particularly skilled at the game and the nuances in it’s play.

In theory this collection should be a great experience. That’s what I thought when I booted it up. As soon as I tried to adjust the resolution, the game proceeded to crash, forced me to verify files and turn off my virus protection as a content lock occured.
Once I got it back up and running with controls set comfortably on my 360 pad, it worked well. Well enough for what feels like a lazy attempt to wrap three arcade roms into a stand-alone executable.
The Time and Score text overlay is really weird and doesn’t mesh well with the rest of the visuals. The options feel kind of barebones, there’s no intro videos or explanations or anything for any of the games, nothing. People coming into this without knowing about the games will have no idea that you can do super moves, like hitting punch and jump together in DD1 for the game-breaking backwards elbow. Or how DD2’s controls are odd. Or how you can flipping run in DD3 by double tapping move (the previous two games didn’t have it, so unless you did this by accident how would you know?).
