I don't see the problem in reviewing games that other people already talked about . It's always good to hear (or read) a second opinion, I think.
Moving on to your collection, that's damn impressive! I see you have most relevant games for the system and a couple of hidden gems, too. Have you tried Sword of the Berserk? Hack n slash at its finest, that one is.
Ultimate Fighting Championship is pretty good too, once you get the hang of it. I had my copy laying dormant for ages until a friend (fredy from the SJY) thought me how to properly play it. Very addictive when played with a friend.
By the way, I just got myself Jet Set Radio Future for the 360! Finally I'm able to play the only sequel to what probably is my favourite Dreamcast game. And so far it looks great! Not as good as the original, but still I'm thankful to have it anyway, considering how many great Sega games were left without sequels...
BadBrians: to throw in my two Cents. Shadowman was very restricted on the N64. The Dreamcast version is by far better, smoother. For example the N64 version would have only one variation of an enemy and the Dreamcast would have 3! I know this because I have played both and I have the offical strat. guide for the game that outlines some of the differences.
Thanks Caleb, might have search out the DC version sounds like the improvements would be worth it :)

[Image] How do! Lord knows it's been an absolute age since I've posted anything of note on the DCJY and I'm not about to buck that trend now. You'd be right in thinking that as a contributor, I'm about as much use as a chocolate fucking teapot. I did want to do a stellar review of Half Life, which I'm currently right in to, only to remember that our esteemed leader Tomleecee did it ages ago.
However, the chances of me actually playing and reviewing some games that haven't appeared here on the 'Yard, just got a little bit bigger, as for the first time ever, I've actually collected all my Dreamcast games up and put them (very anally) into alphebetical order. You can see them in the shitty picture attached to this post, but even with the latest CIA spying equipment, you'd be fucked if you tried to read the titles on their spines. So be prepared for me to bore the arse off you with a long and pointless listof all the games I currently own for The Dreamcast. Actually, I say pointless, but it'll be good for insurance purposes if I ever get burgled again and will give me something to crack one off over when I fancy a ham shank... Are you ready? Well here goes... (Oh, I'll throw in a few cover shots, to break up the monotony and to prevent your retinas imploding, every once in a while ...

So there you have it! Are you sleeping yet? Before you tell me, I know, there's a ton of shite games in there, but my Dreamcast collecting was something of an obsession in the glory days of Gamestation... Now many of these games have never been played so if there's something you'd like me to play or review let me know.... On the other hand I've dipped into quite a few, so if you've ever wondered about any of them, I might be able to tell you if there of any merit! Hopefully I'll get to play a few hidden gems - point me in the direction of anything thats there that you've loved! Cheers!

Impressive collection. What's the DC version of Shadowman like? It was pretty creepy on N64, the DC version is probably alot better though.

Hmm, not that different as I recall. Having said that it's not a game I've played to it's conclusion...

FK: Very impressive collection!
I MUST take pics of my full collection sometime.
Cheers!

Why thank you for your kind words Caleb and Nebacha!
and thanks for clearing up the 64/DC Shadowman conundrum Caleb...

Now that is a meaty pile of PAL games. Very nice.

Sword of the Berserk was awesome!!
Bloody awesome I should say... It's been so long I almost forgot about that one.
Thursday, April 17, 2008
Why thank you Gagaman(n)! High praise indeed!
Now I've only ever tinkered about with Sword Of The Beserk... It's coming after Half Life on my 'to play list...'
Thursday, April 17, 2008
I am proud to say I have beaten Sword of the Berserk.
Great game!
