Contrary to popular belief, Halo didn’t create the console first-person shooter or even multiplayer shooters. In the beginning there was Goldeneye and against all odds, it was a movie-game that was good. Watch as we make our way through the revolutionary (if a bit clunky) console shooter.

This week on InRetroSpection we’re playing Super Mario Sisters-err-I mean The Great Giana Sisters! This quirky computer platformer draws more than a little inspiration from the famous Italian duo. But with the new remake on Kickstarter, it looks to be evolving into it’s own.

InRetroSpection 55: Sonic Aaarrrrr!!!!
Have you played a bad game? How about a bad game you actually enjoyed but still knew it was bad? This week on InRetroSpection, in conjunction with Review a Bad Game Day, we look back on a game that had many of the right ideas, it just didn’t execute them well.

The Sega Saturn classic, NiGHTS: Into Dreams is getting a remake, so we thought we’d take a quite tour of the “franchise” such as it is. Things go from kooky and strange to downright creepy and slightly disturbing.

Hard to believe that Atari has been around for 40 years. And not just with the 2600 home console, they pioneered the very idea of video games. So this week we decide to grab some classic (and obscure) Atari games and try them out.

InRetroSpection 51: Dirk Dies-A-Lot
This week we take a look at a trilogy of arcade games…if you can even call them games. Interactive cartoons probably best describes the Dragon’s Lair trilogy. Gruesome Death Simulator would also fit, because we die. A lot.
