There was a Rambo game that came out recently. The quality of the title looks dubious, at best. Rambo: Last Blood—a new indie game featuring Sylvester Stallone's iconic, burnt-out vet—is probably a whole lot better. » 2/27/14 7:00pm 2/27/14 7:00pm

The good news is that First Blood gets its due. We knew this when Fahey showed us screens of Hope, Wash. The bad news is that Rambo: The Video Game looks like something for the PlayStation 2. It just looks terrible. Which, of course, means day-one purchase for me. » 7/10/13 4:00pm 7/10/13 4:00pm

The influence of American action movies in Japan has been huge.

I know Reef Entertainment announced last year that they'd be making video games based on the Rambo series. I read it here. It registered in my consciousness. Last month, when the company announced the game would be making an appearance at GamesCom in Germany, my mind kind of skipped over it, like it wasn't a real… » 8/03/12 9:30am 8/03/12 9:30am

With a bit of time to kill Monday evening the four of us headed over to Shibuya to check out a coupe of arcades.

Forget the Sega Rambo arcade game for a moment, look at that mullet! Look!! That business-in-the-front party-in-the-back belongs to none over than Hiroshi Fujiioka, the Sega Saturn's human mascot Segata Sanshiro. In the late 1990s, that character went around telling people to play the Sega Saturn — and had a truly… » 5/29/08 8:40am 5/29/08 8:40am
