Rambo The Video Game + Baker Team DLC
If you love Rambo and incredible ’80s action, then Rambo: The Video Game is exactly the game you’re looking for.
As soon as Rambo: The Video Game was announced, I was ecstatic. The trailer made the game seem like nothing but balls-to-the-walls action, recreating all the kick-ass Rambo shit that Rambo did in the Rambo movies. It was seemingly going to be everything I had ever wanted a Rambo game to be, going all the way back to 1988 when I spied the cover of the Rambo NES game and imagined what treasures the game might hold. That game did not live up to my internal hype, but Teyon’s Rambo: The Video Game didn’t just live up to my huge, unrealistic expectations, it shot an explosive arrow directly into their heart and machine-gunned them as they begged for mercy.

I am a huge fan of Rambo. I have read “First Blood,” and own all four movies. When this game was first released it flew under my radar until I saw it on a worst-of-2014 list of video games. Apparently it belonged to many worst-of-year lists. I had a PS3 (still do) and didn’t want to take up hard drive space downloading the Steam game, so I got the PS3 version instead for cheap just to see if it was that bad. I was pleasantly surprised that it followed very closely the storyline and atmosphere of the first three movies. I personally enjoy on-rails shooters and I quickly became addicted to this game! Amazingly despite the negative reviews the developers included a DLC, Baker Company, with the game two years after its release. Unfortunately they apparently sent it to the Playstation Store for upload but for one reason or another it never got posted online. I checked it earlier today: there is a version 1.01 patch but no Baker Company DLC available, and you apparently can’t even buy Rambo there anymore. :-(

Hyper Fighters
Well, this without any doubt is one of the worst games in my steam library. I got it as a part of a dirt-cheap bundle, so I don’t really complain about wasted money, but this game is just ridiculous.
When I saw the screenshots my first thoughts were “Well, it looks like a nice little flying arcade”, then I noticed the “rail shooter” part, but even this piece of news didn’t discourage me… But then I tried to play it.
Terrible graphics are one thing, I am tolerant to all that stuff, but when the resolution is fixed at 800x600, so you can’t play without your eyes starting to bleed is just beyond good and evil. The design of levels is “Hey, Ma, look, I’m using 3DsMAX!"-tier, however boss models and designs are not half bad, I have to admit. Basically it’s the only good thing in entire game: it has no plot, no good gameplay as it’s hard to dodge all of enemy projectiles, however bosses are too easy, so even the simplest balance is absent too. All the levels can be beaten in a couple of hours and the only thing that can drive you to play more is beating high scores. But why would anyone want to beat one’s score in this piece of shit? It’s just what people call ‘lazy’ in any way possible. I see no point of this being ported from WII.

That’s right, this is a thumbs up. Now I’m not recommending that anyone actually pay money for this game. That would be a very silly thing to do. But if you are among the thousands who already own the game from a bundle or a giveaway, I do recommend that you give it a shot. It can be fun, as long as you are aware of the following:
-
This isn’t a flight sim, it’s a rail shooter. There is no freedom of movement, other than dodging enemy planes & projectiles
-
You use arrow keys to dodge, the mouse to shoot, B to replenish missiles (usually not available), and R in conjunction with the arrow keys to barrel roll. Yes, you have to use your third hand for this last one.

Blue Estate The Game
First of all, I never really liked the original comics. Or “graphic novel” as they prefer to call them. The art style was all over the place, thanks to how different pages were made by different people, while the story was fully made of cliché. The only thing that used to make it special for people is the fact that it was all about Russian mafia fighting Italian mafia, but honestly, it was just the mixed art and a lot of cliché, nothing else. When you finished reading, you felt like you’ve experienced nothing new, so, it was really easy to forget about Blue Estate right the next day. The game, on the other hand, instantly caught my attention. Not only because we rarely see the games, based directly on comics without those being turned into the movies first, but also because it was a rail shooter. Back in the days the genre used to shine and we had many awesome games up to the PS 2 times, while after that the only console that tried to keep rail shooters alive was Wii. And after Wii died, there was literally nothing. And since yours truly is a huge fan of the genre since the NES times, when there were games like Freedom Force (not to be confused with 2002 game), you can easily guess that I was really glad to hear that there’s going to be another game of that kind, even though I really, really disliked the source material.

So outside of an arcade, rail shooters are extremely hard to find nowadays, on any platform. It seems that fast paced multiplayer shooters (think Counter Strike and Call of Duty) or open world pseudo shooter/tactical games (think Day-Z, Far Cry, etc.) are the way to go for most developers nowadays. So it’s sadly pretty rare to find anything that breaks the mold, and when you do, the end result is not always that great.
With that being said, however, Blue Estate The Game was a welcome addition to my steam library and breath of fresh air after playing an endless stream of fast-twitch, zombie horde, open-world shoot ‘em ups. It’s actually based on a graphic novel of the same name, which I’ve read and definitely reccomend.

Cool game, I love pixel art games, definitely recommend with the passage of the game!

Fine platformer shooter game. Only 25 levels, it took me about 20 minutes to complete them all. The gameplay, the controls and the level design are good enough that these 20 minutes were enjoyable, so do not hesitate to give it a try !

Private Agent
Fire as many bullets!
Private Agent” is a VR gun shooting game compatible with Oculus Rift (Oculus Quest + Oculus Link).
You can switch between various weapons and aim to conquer stage bosses.
The player is asked to destroy the criminal organization Echidna and confront the organization.
When you run out of ammunition, you can discard the entire weapon and take out a new one with the AR armory system, so there is no need to reload or perform other difficult operations.
Some weapons can be held in both hands, so you can use two pistols for a barrage or a handgun and knife for a CQC style fight.
Experience the flashy gun action with simple controls!
Viper
Note before We begin: While I may not have much on the PC Version of the game I have owned the original PS1 Version of the game since it’s release and will be referring mostly to the PS1 Version for this review
In addition at the time of this writing there is a bug causing the game to crash on the 2nd level without entering the password for it. The developers have confirmed this is being fixed.
Viper…This could be one of the most obscure games in the Playstation’s Library.
If I could summarize Viper I would say it is Star Fox mixed with a Shoot ‘em up. You play as Eddie Crane piloting his craft The Viper as he strikes out against aliens who have covertly invaded Earth…Thats it, Thats the story

So this was an interesting, didn’t expect to see it here of all places and hopefully you’ll find this review helpful:
- This is a PS1 game:
I’m not saying this is a port of a PS1 game, this is literally a rip of the disc being run through a PS1 emulator, specifically PCSX-Reloaded, you’d think this would be a negative and it kind of is, but it’s actually very convenient, the build of PCSX-R they use doesn’t have a lot of features and I found it fairly lacking, but hey, you can easily use any other emulator if you want, the game files are right there in the folder! I used Duckstation, which is why it looks like I haven’t played the game for more than a few minutes on steam, it allowed me to upscale the game, run it smoothly and I even used a widescreen hack because why not, it’s super simple to do and I highly recommend it because that’s the fun of PC gaming. That said, I do wish the product page was upfront about it, much of GOG’s runs on Dosbox, emulation is legit, no need to hide it.

Tumbleweed Express
Hi, I just played this game and I can’t believe it.
People are noting that it’s “ONLY 7-10 Hours of Gameplay”.
Only? The game is $5. The cheapest McDonalds meal you can buy is $5.69. Have you ever eaten a Mc Donald’s meal for 7-10 hours? More like 10 minutes. Have you ever played a pinball game for 10 hours with $5? Have you ever done ANYTHING for 10 hours of entertainment for $5? They are basically charging you .50/hr to play this game.
The art style is very, VERY good. You are treated to authentic train maps and rotating items in the game during loading screens (like in Skyrim). The voice acting is really cute and amusing, and MAN the music. The music is absolutely phenomenal, it’s BETTER than the music in most professionally released games.

Tumbleweed Express is a rail shooter with tower defense elements. A rail shooter where you protect a train on rails….yup. Anyways, you control a 360 degree rotating turret on top of a caboose in an old west steampunk world where blimps and dirigibles have overtaken railroads as the main method of cargo transportation. You inherit the tumbleweed express from a dead family member and as the new owner it’s your job to ride the rails to glory.
The graphics fit the theme of the game prefectly and so does the music. It also sounds like the narrator is using a fake southern accent and that’s a bit off-putting. Game progression is stage based with the option to replay each stage as many times as you want. I’m glad you’re able to do this because the difficulty curve is sharp and soon enough you’ll become overwhelmed by all the crap coming at ya from all around ya. Upgrades include cool stuff like being able to buy more cars for your train so you can add automated turrets. You can also hire engineers that’ll repair your traincars and different types of gunners that will also shoot stuff on their own. There’s also turret upgrades and different types of turrets you can purchase such as cannons. I’m not too far in it but it looks like there’s a lot to this game. Each stage has multiple side-objectives you can enable to get a bigger reward if you complete them however it also increases the difficulty of the stage. And since you can replay each stage you can experiment with those to see if the risk is worth the reward. There are secrets hidden in each stage too that will uncover more of the story but they aren’t necessary.

BioCrisis
Old school Arcade game from an era where light gun were really fun.
You have to master the scoring system to be the best player!
I recommand even if there is no online leaderboard.
Maybe in a futur update?

Nice game, easy to learn, difficult to master.
Though pixel games tend be controller supported, this game seems to be keyboard and mouse only. You will need a left and right mouse button and a spacebar, if you got this then you are good to go.
Obviously you have to shoot zombies and not feed them. There are four color zombies indicating the amount of bullets they require for them to die, you will have to empty your gun before reloading, you will have to think about how to spend your bullets and when to reload, the only problem is you won’t have time to think…

IS Defense
A door flew off and sheared one of my soldiers head off.
I saw a facebook post saying people were upset about this game, controversy, political BS blabla, so I went and bought it.
This is a very well made game. The ragdoll and where you shoot people and how it affects them is spot on, I have my body count turned to unlimited and vehicles destroyed all stay there, it creates a real battlefield, which I think is nice. The graphics are really good for a $5 game, its an arcade style shooter as many have said. The upgrades help, but even then the game is still challenging. Blasting away waves of terrorists till you get overwhelmed. The terrorists act smartly (sometimes). What I mean by this is if you have shot the people out of a vehicle, other troops will try to man the turret or the driver seat and use it against you, instead of leaving it a husk. You can cause damage to buildings when you upgrade your MG. When you shoot at hummers, the gunner never dies unless the vehicle blows up, that is my main issue with this game TRUST ME ITS ANNOYING AS HELL AND DOESN’T QUITE MAKE SENSE, other than that, its well made, the AI has some brains, though sometimes your soldiers will be standing in a line and get plowed by an enemy truck like a bunch of idiots, or run and cover next to a flaming vehicle. I guarantee you you will have spent $5 on much worse things. 9.5/10 buy it and help protect the free world!

Fun rail shooter game, kinda tower defense aswell.
Its suppose that ISIS is invading Europe, well forget that bullshet.
The game doesn’t have any kind of history, so it’s not relevant either.
Nice graphics, good physics & animations.
Very fun gameplay, action everywhere.
Soundtrack is weak but you can set Slayer’s discography on background for full experience.
I liked “assistant”’s voice lines, guy who informs you when you can call reinforcements.
There are 4 maps: beach head, airport, harbor & seaside city.
