Review Galaxy Force II (Virtual Console / Sega Mega Drive)

Galaxy Force II is another classic Sega arcade shooter that hasn't aged very well.
Galaxy Force II debuted as a Sega arcade release, using the same type of sprite scaling seen in Sega's other arcade title Space Harrier, and basically mimicked 3-D scrolling without the use of actual polygon graphics. While Sega's Saturn console would later get a...

Nintendo Download Soccer, Pirates and Galaxies (US)

One new game for every downloadable service.
Last week's update wasn't exactly that hot. Unfortunately, the same can probably be said again this week. DSiWare's gone down from two games a week to one this time. At least it's a decent one! Real Soccer 2009 is pretty much a port of the DS game with the same name, which is really quite an achievement...

Nintendo Download Bit.Trip Beat, Dr. Mario, Magic and Galaxy Force II (EU)

Alternating Virtual Console and WiiWare weeks come to an end!
WiiWare's almost been out for a year in Europe, and it seems that because of that, Nintendo of Europe has decided to start using the same schedule North America does - Releasing both VC and WiiWare games every week. Of course there's another DSiWare game as well. None of the games are...

News Japanese Virtual Console list - February 2009

It's that time of the month again! Time to see what VC games Japan will be getting next month. Not much surprises this time really - Square Enix continues its support with a Japan-exclusive game, while Sega releases another game in their original mascot's franchise. Nothing really too stunning this time though! Two new games which could potentially be released elsewhere are on the list too.
The complete VC list for Japan in February is as follows: Famicom: Formation Z (Februar...

You are strapped into a spaceship to take on five dangerous planets, with environments ranging from a pleasant green field, to a lava lake and a field of ice.

You will have to fly freely before cutting through tunnels and canyons, and finally destroying an alien base. Your energy starts at 1200 and decreases as shots hit you, or you make contact with a wall or blockage. You have infinite cannon fire and guided missiles to help you along. You can get regular energy recharges and power upgrades, by shooting and then collecting their carrier pods.

Finally a truly good 3D-prepolygon-shooter on the VC.

Yeah, it does look pretty cool, reminds me of Aces of the Galaxy. I might get it once it's released.

Yet another shooter. But this one looks different enough to warrant further consideration.

Never played this one. Looks kinda Starfox/Afterburner-ish, which is a good thing.

So can anyone please tell me if this pal version of the game will display on HDTV? I find a few MD titles don't display on mine... I don't want to download it until I'm sure. Anyone?
