Game Informer - In the early 2000s, Sega released a title that seemed (on the surface) to have it all. It had a cool dude with sunglasses and guns at a time when people were still optimistic about upcoming Matrix movies. Aesthetics aside, this game is pretty mediocre. With its frustrating vehicular segments and ho-hum action, it's surprising that it eventually spawned a sequel.
The Sega Dreamcast was a system that had some really cool and innovative games. However, the console never had as much widespread appeal as the PS2 or Xbox.
I think outtrigger is really underrated as a game for the dreamcast. It was quite good for the time.
If I could take two consoles with me into the after life it would be the Snes and dreamcast.
If you like survival horror, i highly recommend D2. It’s really cool. Reminiscent of deadly premonition. Great atmosphere and music. Super campy and cheesy but unique. Just emulate it.

The idea behind this is to pick five games from each letter of the alphabet, once a week to showcase. This delivers 26 weeks and 130 games to talk about. Hopefully it sparks some conversation, and of course plenty of memories.
Our second series will focus on Sony’s sophomore entry into the console business, the PlayStation 2.
Let’s continue with the letter “H”.
