Best Racing Game On The Dreamcast
MSR is quite possibly the best racing game available for the Dreamcast. This game offers great visuals in the cars and environments. One of the unique qualities in MSR is the radio. You can choose a station before each race which have different disc jockeys that bring out their own personality before playing the music. At default this game is hard to beat and it gives you a scene of accomplishment when you do win. This game is definitely worth buying but if you don't own a Dreamcast worry not. You can check out the Xbox ( 360 ) version under the title Project Gotham Racing. But I have to say MSR on the Dreamcast was much better.

Free Roaming RPG?
Sega introduced Shenmue as the first free roaming RPG. At first I would agree that I'll try a new genre for a game and see what its all about. And after playing Shenmue for the first time I was hooked. You basically live a life day to day . You walk around town , go to work , play at an arcade which included actually full version games like Hang On. You can even buy soda at a pop machine and collect trinkets for your room. Of course theirs a story behind this game. Bad guy kills father , you want revenge. Its pretty.....basic. I would definitely purchase this game for those who own a Dreamcast , but if you don't, Xbox ( 360 )owners have a chance to buy Shenmue 2 which includes a DVD that has all the cut scenes from the first Shenmue game so you're not left in the dark as far as the story goes. And of course for those gamers who had no clue the Xbox 360 had a list of games which were backwards compatible with original Xbox games, here's a link for that list.

a 128 bit classic at its best
Awe yes, Wild Metal. One of the first $50.00 Dreamcast games I ever bought. And now the reason why I don't buy new games. For a console which offered gaming at a powerful 128- bits, launching with Wild Metal at its helm wasn't the smartest decision. This game offered very little. And I mean little. No story, crap for graphics, almost no sound, but I did have a little fun with this game. I could say I like blowing stuff up. I would have to advise to skip a purchase and get a free download at rockstar.com, along with a couple other "classics" GTA 1 & 2.

Seriously , I can poop better products.
First I must write about the original D. One of the best FMV ( Full Motion Video) games a side from Lunacy available on the PS1 or Sega Saturn. Now D2, what a load of @#%$. D2 took a turn from FMV to a full action video game and the story went from discovering your father, a killer to aliens. I had to put my two cents in even thought I didn't finish the game. In my opinion, skip this game!. Its better used as a coaster.
For a good Point and click , not really FMV try Decay ( theirs four parts at 80 points each) available on the Xbox 360 Indie games.

Survival horror with Christmas spirit
Even though I had a lot of fun playing this game while waiting for the new resident evil to come out ( which was part 2 or 3 at the time). Blue Stinger still offered hours of entertainment. A Christmas theme sure made it fun to run around empty stores while blowing new holes in everything that moved. You even start to feel a sense of compassion for the characters which will no doubt keep your hands and eyes glued to this game. Blue Stinger is definitely worth buying at a under $20.00 level.
