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.
Many big-deal Hollywood actors are not tall. They are short. And all kinds of tricky camera angles and techniques get used to make them look like towering heroic badasses. Doesn't look like they used any of them in the new trailer for the Rambo video game.
Here's the gameplay trailer for the aptly named Rambo: The Video Game, currently in development at the Poland-based Teyon. Yes, it's a licensed title, but... it actually looks pretty darn good!
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.
Video games in the 80s only depicted a certain amount of pixels on the screen. Fortunately, that didn't hold developers back from pushing the limits of the available hardware to play with our imagination by creating beautiful, handsome characters.
The influence of American action movies in Japan has been huge. Shortly after the success of all the 1980s Hollywood action flicks with dudes like Schwarzenegger, Stallone and Chuck Norris, Japanese gaming created an entire library of different action titles with one common feature: Kill everything on the screen.

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…
Reef Entertainment, publishers of games like Sniper Elite, Rogue Trooper and Shadow Grounds, have picked up the rights to release games based on the Rambo movies.
L.B. Jeffries has a nice piece up arguing for more relevant and provocative settings in games in order to raise awareness and perhaps do something a little greater for disastrous (real world) situations. He points out that violence isn't incompatible with this, thus many classic genres would probably be quite at home…
With a bit of time to kill Monday evening the four of us headed over to Shibuya to check out a coupe of arcades. Initially we were on the hunt for Street Fighter IV but when we stumbled upon the new Rambo lightgun game we couldn't help ourselves. Check out that live action footage!
Wowzers! Check out that 62 inch screen on that SEGA Rambo cabinet in the gallery below. The Japanese game developer has released a few new screenshots of the arcade title, complete with in-game scenes from Rambo flicks. The game features an "Anger System" that pissed off John Rambo shooting power-up mayhem. Yes, wee…
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.
