Sega Rally Championship Released: 1995 Platform: Sega Saturn Publisher: Sega Developer: Sega Sega are responsible for some of the best racing games ever made!

I’ve been thinking about writing a review of the JXD for some time now, for two reasons. The first being that a number of people have contacted me to ask what I thought of it before they bought one. I’ve probably spent a few hours typing Twitter messages so it occurred to me that it […]
Rambo 3 Released: 1989 Platform: Sega Megadrive Publisher: Sega Developer: Sega This is my second Rambo 3 review and this time I take a look at the Sega Megadrive version.
