Well,
I myself, being one of the
greatest HOTD fans on earth am
particularly looking forward to
this game. When DCM#3 arrived in
my P.O.Box and I saw Zombie
Revenge on the demo I nearly had
a heart attack. The demo let's
you do alot...well to me it is
alot, to other's it seems quite
short but the point is, at least
it's playable. Choose from three
of the main characters (you can
even select their alternate
costumes by holding start while
selecting them) and take to the
streets in an attempt to uncover
all of The House of the Dead's
story...oh, and kill zombies,
lots and lots of zombies. Many
weapons are available like
shotguns, machine
guns, pipes, and of course
your good ol' pistol and physical
attacks. Along the way you will
save a hostage (a rather
attractive one at that), fight
the first boss, and meet up with
one of the main characters from
the game at the end. Oh yes, you
can also pick one out of three
cards at the end of the demo, I
know what these are for...but
I'll let you be surprised. You
can even play with a light gun!
It seems a bit cumbersome to play
this type of game with a light
gun (just to anyone who doesn't
know, Zombie Revenge is, unlike
the other two HOTD's, a light gun
shooter. It is a beat-em-up
similar to Dynamite Cop) but once
you get the hang of it it's as
easy as playing with a
controller...this also helps if
you want to play 2P but you don't
want to shell out another $30 for
a second controller (if you only
have one that is). Right down to
it, this game is gonna be sweet
and the demo kicks ass. I'm
getting this game, no doubt. Are
you?

This
game is alot of fun but the
graphics absolutely suck. Well,
they don't suck...let's just say
Dreamcast is capable of far
better things. You take the role
of a giant mech in this demo and
roam throughout a huge
city..killing other mechs and
attempting to destroy three power
generators. Near the end of the
demo you will encounter a boss
type mech...he isn't very
hard. I really don't have
much to say about this
demo...um...it's fun running over
cars and taunting the people on
the grouns but shooting at them,
hehe. That's about it.
Street
Fighter Alpha 3
- Supports:
VMU, Jump Pack, Arcade
Stick, 4 players (I
believe)
Like
some of you know, I'm not the
biggest fan of fighters but for
some reason I am in love with
this demo. It really reminds me
of my old gaming days...back in
92-93. When I used to play alot
of 2D fighting games...but then
for some reason I stopped. Last
2D fighter I played was Street
Fighter II Turbo, long time ago,
eh? Well, this game has brought
back all my old tastes...I even
am getting Marvel vs. Capcom just
because I played this demo...and
the arcade stick, hehe. Ok, to
the actual demo now. You can
select either arcade mode or
internet mode (both are somewhat
self explanatory). In arcade mode
you can select either Ryo or
Guile, and there six alternate
costumes. A little thing you can
do that's kinda cool is look at
the other characters and their
alternate costumes. Ken has a
white costume just like Ryu's!
Ok, all of the two fighters moves
are there, Hadoken's, Sonic
Boom's, all the old moves...just
like it was last I left. Of
course, what is a sequel without
new moves? Crap...that's what.
Super moves are in there and
all...just like the other
Alpha's. I prefer to play Ryu,
black costume, Saikyo style,
V-ism, Turbo 2. So many options
before a battle, hehe. The
internet option is kind of
restricted due to the facts that,
it's a demo and the internet
capabilities of the Dreamcast
aren't up yet. But you can
register your character and
his/her stats and go up against
the master, which is quite
ironically, Dan. But regardless
of it's the human punching bag or
not, he presents somewhat of a
challenge. You don't really get
anything for beating him, it's a
demo after all. It's just an
added bonus in my opinion.
Anyway, bottom line is, this game
is very cool, the sprites look
great, the music is pretty good
and sets you in the mood, and
everything inbetween is fun. I
might get this game...it depends
on my financial situation at the
time it comes out.

Ugh...this game is,
in all honesty, quite
boring.There is nothing
"extreme" about
it...nothing inovative, nothing
new. The only thing different
from this and other motorcycles
racers is a slight leap in
graphics. It controls well, I
guess. The most fun part to me
was trying to wreck it on a guard
rail and making the guy fall off
a cliff to his death...

This game kinda
sucks. That's my honest opinion.
In the demo you have the choice
between two cars (one of which's
drive sounds a bit on the gay
side). Um...quite frankly, like I
said, this game sucks. No need in
saying anymore about it.
