Need For Speed: Most Wanted, GameCube
Need For Speed: Most Wanted is the third Need For Speed game released for the GameCube. It was developed in collaboration between EA Black Box and EA Canada, and was first published by EA Games in 2005.
Need For Speed: Underground 2, GameCube
The sequel to Need For Speed: Underground, and the second Need For Speed game (of four) released for the GameCube, Need For Speed: Underground 2 is a bit of a curveball in the series and is significantly different to the first game. It was developed by “EA Black Box” and first published by EA Games in 2004.
Need For Speed: Underground, GameCube
Developed by “EA Black Box” and released by EA Games in 2003, Need For Speed: Underground is a street-racing game in high-powered modern cars. It uses fairly spectacular 3D graphics and environments; has a nice control/feel to the cars, and is full of OTT flashy car racing FMV (which some might find unnecessary; I was kinda leaning in that direction).
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, PC
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is a “reboot” of the Castlevania series, developed by Spanish studio MercurySteam and first published by Konami in 2010. Hideo Kojima, creator of the Metal Gear series, helped produce the title.
In Lords of Shadow you play as Gabriel Belmont, a member of the Brotherhood of Light, an elite group of holy knights who protect and defend the innocent against the supernatural. His quest is to defeat a malevolent order known as The Lords of Shadow, and to resurrect his dead wife, Marie.
The Hobbit, Game Boy Advance
The Game Boy Advance version of The Hobbit was developed by Saffire, Inc. and first released by Sierra Entertainment in 2003. This game is based on Tolkien‘s famous book, and not the Peter Jackson films (the first Hobbit film was released in 2012, and this game actually came out the same year as The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King).
Turbo Out Run, FM Towns
A conversion of the Sega arcade racer, Turbo Out Run was ported to the FM Towns by CRI (CSK Research Institute) and published by Sega in 1989. In truth, it’s not a particularly good version of the arcade game as it lacks a number of features, doesn’t look as good, and doesn’t play as well as its parent.
Turbo Out Run, Arcade
Turbo Out Run (sometimes stylised as “Turbo OutRun“) is the sequel to the classic Sega arcade game, Out Run, and was first released in 1989. The game could be purchased as both a dedicated cabinet and also as an upgrade kit for existing Out Run machines.
The Cliffhanger: Edward Randy, Arcade
This over-the-top action game was developed and published by Data East in 1990 and in it you play as Edward Randy, an Indiana Jones-style adventurer who is fighting against an army of evil soldiers, led by “Dark Ogre“, and who’ve kidnapped his friend’s daughter Charlotte, who he is trying to rescue.
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Megadrive/Genesis
The Megadrive/Genesis version of Bits Studios‘ Mary Shelley‘s Frankenstein is a bit of a poor relation to the Super Nintendo version of the game. Mainly because the lack of colour in the visuals tends to make this version look a bit rough when compared to the SNES version. But it is what it is: a fairly bog standard platform game loosely based on Kenneth Branagh‘s 1994 film.
