The Games of Atari’s Greatest Hits vol. 1 (DS)

One of the things I got for Christmas was a wall calendar with a different classic Atari game each month. Fits my personality pretty well, I think, and I hung it up at work. It reminded me that a few months ago, they released an Atari Greatest Hits collection on DS. I didn’t buy it right away because it was 30 bucks, but I saw it recently for around 20, so I snagged it. So here’s a rundown on what’s on Atari’s Greatest Hits vol. 1 for DS!

Game Review: Back to the Future: The Game, Episode 1 (PC)

I don’t think I would’ve enjoyed being an adult in the 80’s, but let me tell you, being a kid back then was GREAT! We had the best toys (Transformers), cartoons (DuckTales), video games (Pac-Man), and music (well, okay, 80’s music was cheesy but I like it anyway). And with films like Indiana Jones, Empire Strikes Back, Gremlins, and Ghostbusters, we also had some awesome movies, too! Now one of the best 80’s movie series is now a video game that’s actually very good! Get prepared to go to 88 miles per hour with Back to the Future: The Game, a downloadable PC episodic point and click adventure title from TellTale Games!

Now all your favorite SNK characters are in a 2-D vertically scrolling shooter you can download to your PSP from the PlayStation Store.

Game Review: SBK X Superbike World Championship (PS3, 360)

Get ready for realistic motorcycle racing with SBK X Superbike World Championship for Xbox 360 and PS3 (360 version reviewed here).
