There were two games based on the movie Predator back in the 80s, one of which America got (the NES one) and one which we didn't (the MSX game). Neither were good though!

The second Commando game! Also probably the second or third best of its kind (the runners-up are Saurus' Shock Troopers and Data East's Desert Assault.
The write-up for the third game was also posted, though it's not significantly altered from the old site.

An indie action-RPG from a couple years back, with a fully realized world and gorgeous vibe, communicated almost entirely without words.

We previously covered Capcom's Commando series back in the old incarnation of the site, about a decade ago, but I wasn't really happy with its quality, so I rewrote (most) of it. The review of the sequel, Mercs, will be posted later this week.

What seems like a fairly standard Game Boy RPG is actually a subtle peek into insanity.

A surreal indie RPG, long in the making. Seems to have gotten a very divisive response, to put it lightly, though our reviewer felt positively about it.

A 3D game for the Jaguar. Doesn't have a great reputation, and it obviously looks kinda bad now, but it's not really all that bad considering the era.

Here's the preview for the upcoming HG101 Digest Vol. 4, featuring Star Fox and F-Zero, but also a bunch of related topics. Star Fox is pretty well known about rail shooter fans, but there are a handful of other lesser known, similar titles, so this was a good place to highlight some of these. Additionally, I wanted to cover some other titles from Argonaut, both the titles that led up to Star Fox (Starglider, X) and the other SNES era titles (Vortex, Stunt Race FX, and FX Fighter). That last ...

Aretha is a surprisingly prolific series of JRPGs that started on the Game Boy. This set covers the original trilogy - early next week, we'll dive into the Super Famicom games.

A ridiculous, over-the-top super nerdy indie beat-em-up from a few years back. Not a great game but enough weirdness to make it worth the $3 price on Steam.
