New Review Posted: Rebelstar Tactical Command

[Daniel Weissenberger]

Brad Gallaway reviews Rebelstar Tactical Command and starts with a history lesson:

"In the early days of the first PlayStation, a quirky PC strategy game was ported onto the console and immediately secured a place on my all-time favorites list. That game was called X-Com: UFO Defense, and to this day I have fond memories of hours spent positioning operatives and planning strategies down to the smallest detail in order to eradicate invading bug-eyed aliens from Mother Earth. Rebelstar Tactical Command may not be a directly related, but the family resemblance is impossible to ignore."

The review continues here.

"In the current age of high-end consoles and super-powered portables, these two little Game Boy carts have accounted for some of the finest play sessions I've had all year."

Yeah, funny how that works sometimes.

I almost missed out on Rebelstar to be honest--I just happened to hear about it right before it released. I'm glad I didn't miss it.

It's nice to see that some of these little games can still come in under the radar and compete with the big-budget, uber hyped games in terms of fun.

Great review, as always.

Indeed, an excellent review. And you are especially right about that "save anytime" feature -- it's kept me playing long after I would have stopped otherwise.

Thanks for the words, guys. = )

I'm wondering if I should add this game to my list AND X-Com: UFO Defense.
