A brief write-up of the Steins;Gate remake that came out yesterday - it's kind of a short since not much of the actual story has changed, so if you're curious, you can just read our previous review of that.
This version also includes a translation of one of the side-stories, Linear Bounded Phenogram, which I'll review once I finish it!

Short for "Battle Wings", this Data East shooter is kinda ugly but has a cool weaponry system. It also forms the basis of their later Darwin series of shooters.

Sometime early last year, we did a rundown of the 16-bit 2D Sonic games. We're continuing with all of Sonic's 8-bit entries, all of which were either for the Master System, Game Gear, or both. We're starting off with the first two games, though later entries get quite a bit more unusual.

Our coverage of the Dune series finishes up for now (there's still another action-adventure game developed by Cryo to cover in the future) with Westwood's RTS, which is more of a proper sequel to Dune II than Dune 2000 was.
