Here at Defunct Games, we love Nightdive. Over the last few years, they’ve managed to breathe new life into a lot of outdated first-person shooters through expertly-made remasters. This includes loving updates of the Turok games, Blade Runner, Dark Forces and even The Thing. With so many classic games getting the Nightdive upgrade, I thought it might be fun to give the Atari-owned company the Review Crew treatment, starting with two 3DO games that were recently re-released – Killing Time and PO’ed. That’s genuinely cool news and I love that these lesser-known shooters are getting a second-life on modern consoles, but were these games worth playing back in 1995? To answer that question, I decided to flip through the pages of Electronic Gaming Monthly, GamePro, Next Generations and more classic magazines to see what the critics said back when these games first came out. I sure hope you brought a swimsuit, because this is the debut episode of Nightdive Review Crew.
