Championship Sprint is a giant waste of money. The game is boring as a singleplayer title and it doesn't hold up at all without the arcade wheel. Spend your $5 on a cheeseburger or couple slices of pizza instead - those ten minutes you'll take to eat will be far more enjoyable than any time you'll spend with this (and better for you, too).

This is a case of a poor, boring game with one redeeming aspect being translated, altered and watered down into an even poorer, more boring game with no redeeming qualities. Kato & Ken was a vanilla platformer in Japan, but at least it had its humor and the tie-in with a popular TV license back in 1990. But stripped of that association, what results is an even more vanilla, humorless game that just doesn't make any sense at all, and certainly isn't funny. Stay away from J.J. & Jeff -- if you're looking for a TurboGrafx platformer, there are far better options for you to consider. Plus, if you're looking for fart jokes and potty humor, South Park reruns are readily available for free.

From the NIV, Genesis 27:40 – "You will live by the sword and you will serve your brother. But when you grow restless, you will throw his yoke from off your neck." ActRaiser's 13 platforming stages let you live by the sword, bringing not peace, but destruction to the forces of The Evil One (and saving you from growing restless with its six genre-shifting town simulation levels). You'll never feel like there's too much action or too much sim – the unique category clash of side-scrolling and simulation keeps things fresh for hours, giving you a break from each style of design by bouncing back into the other. ActRaiser's an innovative and intriguing blend, and it's definitely worth a look.

Joust is a quarter-century old now and, while it isn't going to hold your attention forever, it's handy as an occasional five to 10-minute supplement inbetween meatier gaming sessions. It is what it is, nothing more and nothing less.

WarTech: Senko no Ronde feels incoherent and out of place. The arcade shooter concept that it is built upon is sound but the follow-through just isn't there. There is little to be interested in here outside of the multiplayer mode, Even then, the unsatisfying controls limit what strives to be a unique experience. This attempt at modernizing an old school design perhaps would have been more at home with 2D graphics and an Xbox Live Arcade release.

Overall the puzzle game has some merit but it lacks in addictiveness because the design itself is a little too limiting for players to zone out in the same way that other games capture that mindset. If you can deal with the random elements of the Gunpey design you might find yourself lost for a few hours. But it can't hold a candle to the true puzzle classics on the Nintendo DS, like Tetris and Meteos.

Streets of Rage 2 has been one of the most wanted titles for the VC's Genesis line-up since the launch of the Wii. It's obvious why – the game is a blast. Played co-operatively or just by yourself, SoR2 is a great beat-'em-up experience and one of the best Genesis titles ever made. It's a highly recommended download, and takes its place near the top of the Sega Virtual Console crop – only the excessively explosive Gunstar Heroes outranks it at the moment.

For only five bucks, Rampage: World Tour isn't the worst experience you'll find on the PlayStation Network, but it certainly isn't the best one either. With zero skill required to play and no save function available for those who want to see it all, "repetition" is a word that you'll become intimately familiar with before long.

Blazing Lazers may not have the power to dethrone Gradius III or R-Type III, but it still holds its own and is the best shooter ever for the TurboGrafx-16. Give it a look -- just be prepared to be confused at first at its perplexing path to powering up.

Nintendo's one-shot, no-sequel releases from yesteryear might not be as well known as those games that are part of long-running franchise series, but many of them are home to some of the company's most interesting and unique ideas. Playing as a lone rider on a gun-equipped motorcycle in a post-apocalyptic future is a great scenario and one you might not expect from Nintendo -- so it's refreshing from a creative standpoint, even at the same time as it's not all that spectacular in its visuals or sound design.
