RadarPlays - Project X Zone

It's hard to believe that Project X Zone actually exists. Mashing up characters from Capcom, Namco, and Sega into a strategy RPG is weird enough as-is, and feels almost more like a rambling fanfic than an actual retail release. And yet, here it is, a game where you can team up Mega Man with Bruce Willis, because... there are zombies? There's no time to explain! Just watch the video!


Want to hang out with GamesRadar's editors while taking a look at retro games, new releases, and totally random experiences? RadarPlays is for you. Mondays we'll be checking out blasts from the past on RadarPlays Retro, Wednesdays we change things up to whatever we feel like playing with RadarPlays Shuffle, and Friday is packed with the strangest titles you’ve never (hopefully) heard of in RadarPlays Freaky. We'll also release RadarPlays for all the new releases, so be sure to check back!
