Plants
Yes indeed. These moldy buggers have been de rigueur in games for some time now. Hardly worthy of a place in the hall of fame that is the VgamerZ Monster Files, you’d think. And you’d (generally) be right, if a little cynical. In this instance, though, we’re going to have to make an exception.The…
Jurassic Park
Not Operation Genesis, in which you made your own dino-park. Although that was rather great, in a ‘Rollercoaster Tycoon with claws, screaming and guests fouling themselves when the Tyrannosaurus leaves his paddock for a stroll’ sort of way.I speak --as if you didn’t know-- of the Mega Drive/Genesis release, Jurassic Park. But not…
Mewtwo
GAH! Hold on to your underpants and lock grandma in the closet (for her own protection, naturally), it’s Mewtwo!Anybody who vainly endeavored to catch this bugger back in 1998 knows what a fiend Mewtwo is. Your buddy Brian lied and told you that hammering the Up and A buttons helped, but it didn’t. It…
DLC
I'm not too sure if DLC was a byproduct of consumer's needs or simply to make money for the studios. I sincerely expect it was the latter, if not simply because that isn't how consumers think. I guess it's not too risque of me to say that people are generally unhappy with the idea…
Mayhem

This time, we’re fleshing out one of video games’ more neglected genres: the Help Tiny Cartoon Dudes Not to Pee on the Floor 'em up. Because that’s totally a thing, mostly courtesy of Men’s Room Mayhem.This arcade title…

Witcher
CD Projekt RED has officially announced The Witcher Battle Arena, a free-to-play MOBA for mobile devices. When you think of The Witcher, you generally think of action RPG with a heavy focus on strategic combat, and a massive world full of interesting characters and quests. What you don't think of, is a game such as this…
Polterguy
My favourite console (bar none), the Mega Drive, had quite a long and relatively prolific life. Sonic the iconic, Alex Kidd with the craptacular sideburns, the RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE wonders of Altered Beast, it was all there. Which means, naturally, that retro heads will find all kinds of weirdness in its library.Among it…

MediEvil
Here’s a game that knows the surest path to my affections: have a craptacular pun in your title.Cult classic MediEvil was released for the PlayStation in 1998. It’s an oddly gothic action-adventure from what is now Killzone’s Guerrilla Studios, and is often regarded as among the console’s best. Grab your sword, shield and... bizarre…
