Games Abyss: Golden Axe: Beast Rider Preview

Kicking a gnome in the head and watching his little body fall to the ground and toss out a potion ranks up there with the most fun experiences in gaming. 1989's Golden Axe not only allowed you to punt gnomes, but actually rewarded you for it! An act not truly seen in gaming since, but it wasn't just the abuse of little races that catapulted this game to Classic status. The central theme of cooperative play was one of the first gamers remember, and for that Golden Axe remains as one of multiplayer gaming's forefathers. Not content to let the game simply be a memory of the old Golden Age of the arcade, SEGA is giving the franchise rejuvenation on the current hardware.

In the previous game players were able to choose between Ax Battler, Tyris Flare, and Gilius Thunderhead to take down the evil Death Adder. This time around SEGA is focusing the adventure of Golden Axe: Beast Rider around the scantily clad mistress of combat, Tyris Flare. The other characters do make an appearance in the game, though only in the form on NPCs.

Agreed. Don't forget to include the classic red/white one piece for the amazon.

We definitely need a good golden axe Game, dotemu should definitely do it, and Capcom should remake final fight

RetroCaptainSteve493d ago

As long as it's not like Streetwise, I agree.

Why do you have a screen from Street Fighter X Tekken for Street Fighter EX?

gamerben2791d ago

Iirc you couldn't "move in a circle" in EX like the article states either

gamerben2791d ago

Lmao also, worms 3d wasn't even a first person shooter at all either... It was turned based like the original games... Someone didn't research

KwietStorm_BLM2791d ago

Yet I have 2 disagrees lol this site never ceases to amaze.

zodiac9092791d ago

@KwietStorm Don't you know this is not "News 4 Gamers" anymore, it's "Negativity 4 Gamers." A Place where if you say something complementary or ask for some helpful advice, no one gives 2 shits. But AS SOON AS you say something opinionated or controversial, get ready for a riot, mass homocide, and a lynchin' bro.

Uhh summa lumma dooma lumma

WheatBread2791d ago

The SF EX games were actually pretty good.

KwietStorm_BLM2791d ago

They didn't deserve to be printed on disc.

Bass_fisherman2790d ago (Edited 2790d ago )

This article could be made 10 years ago lmao

KaoSouL2790d ago

I actually played the Street Fighter EX games way more than I'll ever play SFV.

Duke Nukem really was awful. It was sad trying to see people defend it.

Yukes3149d ago

I thought it was great fun!

Sorry, can't keep it up. Such a disappointment.

Yui_Suzumiya3149d ago

I enjoyed it and as far as I remember, I was the only one defending it, lol. I was actually giving it a 10/10 on sites to counter balance all the idiotic troll reviews.

lordmiffter3149d ago

Can someone put a pillow over Sonic's face and hold it down until he stops struggling? It'll be an act of kindness.

Skellytorx3149d ago

Oh god. Some of these were shocking to play!

GamerGabs3149d ago

So many disappointments. It's so sad when a well loved franchise looks like it's dying in front of your eyes. (I miss you Sonic, I hope you come back some day)

ConboyAdam3149d ago

I dunno, I think these games are great in a certain way. They're a fantastic counter argument against reboots in general and that at least is something
