Racketboy has posted a terrific write up covering his picks for the top Dreamcast games for today. Here’s a sample of his list:

• Jet Grind Radio
• Ikaruga
• Power Stone
• Virtua Tennis
• Tennis 2K2
• Seaman
• Bangai-O
• Crazy Taxi

Out of this short list I only have three: Jet Grind Radio, Power Stone and Ikaruga. Well, at least now I know where I should be focusing my collecting efforts. Anyway, if your like me - late to the Dreamcast party - this list is for you.

Via Kotaku comes the great news that IGN is relaunching it's Dreamcast section with the idea being a re-review of all Dreamcast releases.  Good times!

Yesterday I received my Dreamcast and much to my delight it works just fine.  It came with a copy of “Virtua Fighter 3TB”,  which I could have done without, it also came with two controllers, a couple of VMU’s (memory cards) and the microphone attachment.  I quickly got my hands on a copy of the shmup “Ikaruga” and it is terrific.  I’ve only had a few minutes to play so far (I’ll be sneaking in some more after posting this) so, I can’t really tell you too much other then the game is great.  If you have the means to try it (with a Dreamcast or via an emulator) and like shmups I suggest you take this one for a spin.  I’m going to get some more playing well I have a chance so…

Much to the dismay of my girlfriend I’ve decided that it’s time to take in another stray.  This time - a lonely Sega Dreamcast.  I’ve never owned a Dreamcast - so it’s about time I change that.  I was reading Racketboy’s post about shmups from a couple of weeks ago and I think that’s going to be a good place to start playing.  We’ll see what kind of condition the system is in when it gets here.  In related news, I’ve been eyeing Ebay a lot lately for consoles that I don’t currently have.  The thing is do I really need to buy myself another Genesis?  Or another NES?  I guess I’ll just have to keep an eye on the Ebay, maybe I’ll find a good deal…
