rRootage   
rRootage was created by the makers of Noiz2sa, which fellow reviewer Da_Goat called a ,"breath of fresh air in the world of Japanese shooters"
because of its abstract like graphics. rRootage does live up to my expectations, it is just as refreshing as Noiz2sa.
The game takes shootem'up to a whole new level with its innovative 4 modes of play, they are: Normal mode, PSY mode, IKA mode and GW mode. I will not go into detail with the modes as explaining this will take quite a long time, but i would like to make a point that this game is really fun because of these modes. The thing that is lacking are real powerups. This is very similar to Warning Forever which I reviewed earlier. In fact, both games play very similar as you only face one enemy at a time and the enemy will re-spawn with improved features.
The graphics are good. The unique emerald-like design of the ships are the first of its kind i've seen. The world is set in a 'cyber-computerish' world just like Warning Forever.
The music is excellent and fits the 'cyber-computerish' world very well. The sound effects are standard stuff.
Summing up, rRootage is an excellent shootem'up. It has incredibly fast gameplay and excellent graphics with music that actually fits the theme.

xSynergy Gate
When I first saw Xsynergy Gate on the internet.
I immediately shunned this off as one of those typical
japanese space shooters game with just some eye candy
but no real gameplay innovations to speak of. And ho
was I wrong. This game is revolutionary in almost
every aspect.
First of, gameplay is quite different from usual. The
game plays from a slightly tilted down view (However
it is still vertical technically). There are the usual
specials, but these specials are quite cool to use in
my opinion. The one that really caught my eye was the
energy rope, which you will have to "grab" your enemy
with, then detonate it. Very cool!
The enemy's are quite typical in my opinion and have
that usual pattern. However their attack patterns are
quite unique, like the ship which sends waves of
energy blasts in a ripple fashion, which is quite fun
to avoid.
Graphics are impressive. Ranging from detailed
spaceships to ultra-neat explosion effects. However
the backgrounds are quite repetitive and dull
during the first part of the game. Not to worry though
as things get better with time. There is also a FPS
display at the top right hand corner. Which is a nice
feature.
The sound sector isn't a high point but gets the job
done.
The program though being a japanese game is quite
straight foward to begin with, not really alot of
options to meddle with except for resolution. And
those who don't like the ZXC control style will be
glad to know that the keys are configurable.
Summing up, Xsynergy Gate is a solid shooter game with
high production values and good innovative features.
Well worth downloading if you are
a shooter fan.
Note: not every screen resolution will work with your
computer. Keep trying till you find one which is
suitable.

Alex the Allegator 4
Alex the Allegator 4 features stunning monochrome (2-color) graphics. Confused? Allow me to explain.
While there have been quite a few game developers in the past who have attempted to bring back the old-school Gameboy feel to modern PCs, never has one succeeded in the same way that Free Lunch Design does with Alex 4. If you're still 'haunted' by fond memories of games like Mario Land and Balloon Kid, then this is the game for you.
Alex 4 is also one of those rare games that can literally 'be fun for the whole family', because it's not a very hard game to play --it's just a hard game to play well. At the start of the game you are given 3 lives, lose those 3 lives and the game is over. However, you can continue from where ever you 'died', with the only consequence being the loss of your score. I really enjoyed this continue system, as it makes it that much less of a pain to 100% every level, which is a durn hard thing to do, but you'll likely be playing fer hours and hours trying to complete this daunting task anyway. Alex 4 is just that much fun.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that it's made by the same guys who bestowed upon us all the blessed goodness of Icy Tower. And that's really all you need to know.

Ata
The full title of this game is "Ata - Extracts from the American Civil War". The game was created by a Finnish team of programmers who calls themselves Badgers. It took them 2 years to finish. Ata is a masterpiece without flaws! It's an awesome wargame with lots of strategy and fun action on the battle field. The graphics and animations are very good with a grain of humor added. I will not go into details about the gameplay because it's well described in the Readme.txt file that comes with the game. But basically, this 2-player game is about the war between the North and the South. One player controls the North troops and the other player controls the South troops. You each start out with only a few stats. There is a neat feature called Observation screen that allows you to look at any state and see what troops are there. I also noticed that in order to move your troops you need to click on the actual soldier for that state and not the state map. This will give you a foot for each state that you can move to. Ata also deals with trading as part of the war strategy. Don't forget that you have to click on the "TURN" icon when you are done with your moves. This game was created with DJGPP.
There is a patch (v1.15) to the download that you need to install too. This patch has a number of features, such as corrects problems with historical menus, improves internal menu handling, adds indians and mexicans, makes footmen capable of stabbing, stabilizes the game and uses VESA-handling code.
You can download the patch here. First you install the regular download, then you install the patch in the same directory. ATA was developed with DJGPP, however VC++ will be the tool of choice for the sequel ATA2.

Brutal: Paws of Fury Remix 
Back in the 16-bit Sega and Nintendo days, Brutal: Paws of Fury (Henceforth known as just "Brutal") was released to a whole bunch of hype and alot of mixed reviews. Personally, I thought it was an OK game then, but playing it now it seems that I like it alot more. If you were a "gamer" (I hate that term) around that time you probably have already played, or at least heard of Brutal. Well, now some Dr. M dude has made a remake and, dagnabbit!, it's a good'n.
Brutal is a 2d fighting game in the same vein as the popular Street Fighter and Mortal Konbat series, but the gameplay is different enough to warrant it as more than a rip-off. You take control of one of 12 martial-arts learned animals, each with his/her own strenghts and weaknesses and abilities, and attempt to beat the pants (actually, some of 'em don't wera pants but they're animals so it's OK ;) ) off of your opponents on your quest to...I dunno...become the greatest kung-fu-bunny in the world. The gameplay consists of 3 punch buttons (",; and L) and 3 kick buttons (<, >, and /). Very simple and if you've ever played a 2D fightr before you'll figure out most of the secret moves in no time. Collision detection and response time are spot on, unlike alot of other M.U.G.E.N. games where they are problematic and glitchy. Great stuff gameplay-wise.
The graphics are all excellently done and the animation is great and even humurous if you pay attention to the little details. Every thing is colorful and looks like it is straight from the SNES version (hmm...mebbe cuz they -are- straight from the SNES version). The author even added in his own special effects, which are very cool. Try finishing off someone with a special move behinfd the doors on the Dojo level and ye'll see. There are a fair amount of backrounds, too, but some of them (the aforementioned Dojo level specifally) have object in the foreground that can obstruct your view.
The sound is great, especially the announcer who for sooome reason sounds just like the announcer from a different popular fighting game :p. Good music and effects too.
There are some really cool modes in Brutal, such as a 2-player co-op mode and even a 4 player simultaneous battle. These modes and the multiple difficulty levels definitely boost the replay value up a bunch.
Bottom Line: Prolly the best M.U.G.E.N. game ever, and definitely the best one I have ever played. If you enjoy 1-on-1 (or 2-on-2) fighters then you should download this. Yeeehaw!
