The best album SABBATH has released in YEARS.
1 von 1 finden das hilfreich -DISREGARD THE FIRST REVIEW...THIS IS THE REAL ONE-
In the mid-to-late 1990s, people pretty much stopped paying attention to BLACK SABBATH rather unfairly; with Ozzy hitting it big on his solo career, and, to a lesser extent, Dio, and as a result of MANY line-up changes, the solid core of SABBATH seemed to crumble apart. No one were taking Tony Iommi's band of wicked miscreants seriously any more.
Then came 1989.
Tony signed the band to the now-defunct IRS Records label, hired rock drum extraordinaire Cozy Powell, bassist Laurence Cottle, with singer Tony Martin (who had appeared on SABBATH's 1987 album "The Eternal Idol") to record their IRS debut, "Headless Cross". Now THIS is the album fans had been waiting so impatiently for. SABBATH had always simply flirted with evil and occult themes in the past, but this album was 100% dedicated to The Dark Side, both musically and lyrically. Iommi's trademark chugging metal riffs, balanced by wicked, creepy keyboard lines by off-stage member Geoff Nichols, Powell's powerhouse drum-work, and Cottle's smooth bass lines, set the musical stage for some of SABBATH's darkest and creepiest material. In the vocals department, Tony Martin is at his most powerful and raging, delivering the most impurely evil and Satanic lyrics SABBATH had ever recorded. The whole group as a whole let loose with a power and sincerety not seen in years, and was pretty much never seen again. There are no specific songs to request, as all of them are brilliant in their own right.
This line-up would stay together for one more IRS record (the almost-as-brilliant "TYR") before Iommi attempted a premature reunion of sorts, and sadly, the magical darkness heard on "Headless Cross" would never again be reached. But said darkness is forever immortalized onto CD for any and all to hear, even if it is just once.
"Headless Cross" is a dark, powerful, raging work of art. This is an album both Iommi and Martin are very proud of, with every right. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for ANY fan, not just SABBATH fans.
RATING: 5/5

I've always gone for the "oddballs"...
3 von 3 finden das hilfreich For as long as I've been a gamer, the odder and less-than-popular consoles/titles appealed to me (chalk it up to my disdain for trends and the fact that once a certain something is famous, you tend to lose interest due to over-saturation of the namesake and getting sick of hearing about it, or you just weren't interested in the first place...YOU LISTENING XBOX/360??!?!?! WITHOUT "HALO" YOU'D BE NOTHING! But I'm getting ahead of myself here...) Case in point; I didn't have a good working PC at the time when everyone I knew was hooked on the game DOOM (as was I...) and the best I could've hoped for was spotted the Super NES version on an off chance I spotted it at my local Best Buy...years later, I STILL love that version. And yes, there is a reason I'm going off on such a tandem...it's about the SEGA SATURN.
Rewind back to 1995...the next generation system wars were on, with the Saturn gaining a foothold by appearing first on the scene. An early fore-runner, it was the thing to have for a good while until the PS1 exploded onto the market like a polygon-graphic-driven 18-wheeler. After the emergance of the extraordinary N64, the Saturn became the third-place odd-ball, but held a special place in both my heart and a few others I knew. Now, granted, a few Saturn titles weren't quite the graphical phenom as their Playstation counterpart ports were, but it held a greater deal of heart and flashier animation versus Sony's artificial lavatory love machineries.
So, you may ask, "should I buy one?" Well, that's totally up to you...it may not have been popular, or had many famous hit titles, but the games it DID have were entertaining and awesome in their own little way...refer to:
PANZER DRAGOON
MEGA MAN 8
THREE DIRTY DWARVES
MYST
ALIEN TRILOGY
IMPACT RACING
VIRTUA COP
HOUSE OF THE DEAD
In short, I still enjoy my Saturn, and if it's good for John Petrucci (DREAM THEATER guitarist) how bad can it be in the long run???

The unintentional Castlevania challenge
When I was able to get ahold of a rather old, Game Boy-based Castlevania title, I didn't know exactly what to expect. Well, that's not entirely true, as I'd been rather keen on "Legends" since I'd gotten it and knew to an extent how the Game Boy Castlevania beast operates. But I had no idea what I was getting into...
Much like "Legends", "Castlevania: The Adventure" isn't very long and is a bit long in the tooth in terms of gameplay, but at its core it's a pure Castlevania game through and through; dark, brooding atmospheres within the levels, mythological monsters to slay, and much whip-lashing action. But what differentiates this from other, more well-to-do 'vania titles is, as the title suggests, the unintentional challenge provided by the VERY slow scrolling speed, losing lack of sub-weapons, and broken level designs that do their best to aggravate and intimidate. I'm sure many of these problems could have been rectified by an increase in character speed (I still don't know why Christopher moves so slow! Mario was dartin' around left and right in "Mario Land!", for cripes sake...), and its overall game size is rather small in its mere 4 levels, but as it stands this can be considered a strange little journey down memory lane through pre-8-bit, black and white platforming mayhem.
