Zombie Revenge is Jason X in video game form. Sure, there’s no single, hulking space-murderer, but SEGA’s Dreamcast-era title features a ridiculous plot (The U.S. government attempting to animate corpses as military super soldiers–WTF!), voice acting that rivals Resident Evil’s “quality,” and, thankfully, numerous ways to turn the lumbering masses into quivering pulp. It’s a joke of a game–in the best way possible.
Retro gaming fans recently celebrated (lamented?) 9/9, which was the launch date of the groundbreaking and much beloved Dreamcast in 1999 .

As media, gamers, and insidious fanboys speculate about E3 2010, there’s much chatter about a PSP2, PSPhone, Xbox 360 Slim, Xbox 720, and, sadly, Dreamcast 2. These systems, which currently live in the realm of fantasy, have got me to thinking of video game consoles of days past and present.
Virtual Vox Pop is a weekly open mic in which we ask you, the reader, to sound off on a particular topic. This week, it’s Dreamcast 2 speculation. Ever since the pre-mature death of the legendary Dreamcast, hardcore SEGA fanboys have held on to a small, minute, glimmer of hope that the company would shift [...]
The splinter in my heart is Sonic, my highly attractive yet brutally abusive lover.
