Night Trap Revamped Live Action MEGACD Review

night trap thumbnail.jpg

Ahh Night Trap, the video game that created the need for age ratings. The game was originally released in 1992 and a Kickstarter project was setup for Night Trap Revamped an HD remake of the classic FMV game in 2014. Unfortunately the project didn't hit it's goal and the game was halted.

To this date, 7 years ago we came up with the idea of recreating our very own version of Night Trap. Having had some great feedback from the creators of Night Trap;

You and your colleagues did a great job with this! It's always nice to see our fans give their own takes on the material, and there's a lot of fun stuff in here. I think Commander Sampson will stand alongside Commander Simms in the Hall of Fame of great video game drill-sergeant types.

The video became one of our classic videos here at Blast Process and 7 years later we have released the video once again, now in correct format and voices synced up!

After a brief discussion on the state of Japanese Games and Platinum as a studio, the boys crack out some more Zelda talk, before scrapping the bottom of the barrel with Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I Don’t Know and Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion!

Alien Breed Impact: An Alien game you should play

While browsing through my unused Humble Bundle games, as you do. I came across Alien Breed Impact and although the Alien Breed games always seem to be around the £4.99 mark, on Steam for the PC that is, after playing the game and especially in co-op mode the game is worth a pickup and play, even if its just for a short amount of time.

Below you can see some of our rough gameplay footage, noting too serious, just playing some games.

Tom + Mat Attack 152 – Squeezin’ Yakuza

You wouldn’t guess it from the title, but Mat only went and beat Yakuza? By jobe! He also played some Rez and might go out of his way to attempt to prove the PS2’s status as the greatest console of it’s generation. All the while, Tom’s been playing some (dare we say it…?) Hidden Gems on the system, not to mention losing sleep over the state of movie-licensed games and the Nintendo Switch…

Listen here.

Tom + Mat Attack 151 – Amazing!

ON this week’s TMA, the boys have been sampling more retro gaming delights! While Mat has been chomping at the bit of the PS2 game known as Yakuza, he’s come to some very controversial opinions about it and Shenmue. Tom however has been simply playing all the super hero Wii games under the sun. Some of them are genuinely amazing, like Wayforward’s Batman: The Brave and The Bold, others, like The Amazing Spiderman… Well, just listen and find out!
