A much-needed shot in the arm for sidescrollers
The '80s was a decade that modern media seems to be overly enamoured with, to the point that it becomes almost tiresome to see yet another game or movie that makes its '80s influence a big selling point.

Review Cel Damage HD - A Flawed Cult Classic That Only Comes Alive When Played With Friends
Soft Cel
When it comes to causing carnage and unleashing violence, few things fit the bill as well as vehicular combat.
