Kinetic Edge

"If you’re an old codger like me with fond memories of old 8-bit computer games, picking up a title that evokes those memories so well is a no-brainer. If, as is more likely, you’re a young whippersnapper (I hate you), …"

"I didn’t fall in love with this game, but with the right updates and tweaks to the game, I could definitely see it going somewhere as a fun time-killer, but not really much more than that."
