Urban Brawl - Action Doom 2

Retro games are so passé! Luckily, here's Action DooM 2: Urban Brawl, the sequel to Action Doom, a four year old modified version of Doom. Instead of straight retro, this combines FPS retro, in the form of the Doom engine, with old school 2D arcade beat 'em up action in the style of Double Dragon or Final Fight.

With bold, cartoonish graphics, Urban Brawl looks great. It also features Sin City style cut scenes and a jaded, cliche ridden, whiskey drinking protagonist, who narrates your story, as you go along, beating up generic arcade game baddies from years gone by. The story, amusingly, is supposed to be set ten years before the start of the original Doom, although is no actual Doom-related things in the game.

Pac-Man World 2

The original Pac-Man World for the PlayStation remains one of the best-executed remakes of a classic arcade game--not that that's saying much. But the game did an excellent job with its source material--Namco's incredibly famous arcade classic--in terms of both the aesthetics and its play mechanics as a platform game. The sequel closely follows the original's formula and improves certain aspects of the first game in the process. Specifically, the sequel's level design is varied and interesting, and the individual environments are well paced, challenging, and packed with a whole lot of minute-to-minute action. Pac-Man himself boasts a couple of new moves and has access to some unique modes of transportation, including skates, swimming flippers, and even a submarine. All this boils down to a good amount of diversity, which is precisely what keeps the game from ever growing stale, as can be the case with less-polished platformers.

Lion King - Simba's Adventure

The storylines from 1994's The Lion King and the 1998 direct-to-video sequel The Lion King II: Simba's Pride are the subject of this handheld game, which stars Simba as he matures from a precocious cub to an adult lion in a side-scrolling adventure spanning ten levels. The game begins near Pride Rock as Simba practices his pouncing technique on the toucan Zazu. The action continues through the Water Hole, Elephant Graveyard, and Wildebeest Stampede until an older Simba finds Nala. The battle with Scar concludes the first six levels of the game.

The final four levels mirror the action found in the sequel. As King of the Pride Lands, Simba must rescue his daughter Kiara from a crocodile-infested swamp, run through the dangerous Plains of Fire, survive an ambush of lionesses at the Outlands, and confront the evil Zira to reclaim his birthright as the Lion King. In addition to the main story, Simba's Mighty Adventure includes four bonus games starring Timon and Pumbaa: Bug Drop, Catch the Worms, Bug Tennis, and Beetle Hunt.
A fifth game, Tag, is a two-player contest between Simba and Nala in which players attempt to capture a star and hold it for two minutes without being touched. A Game Link cable is required to play this mini-game as well as two Game Boy Colors and two separate cartridges. Simba's Mighty Adventure offers three difficulty levels, which determine the number of lives a player begins with and the amount of damage received by enemies. Progress during the game can be resumed via passwords provided at the end of each stage.
