Sega's 3D Ages Remake Series Rated

Thanks to 1UP for their feature reviewing the Sega 3D Ages remake series for PlayStation 2. Unfortunately, it appears "the games aren't coming to the US; this is import-only stuff", but the budget price (2500 yen, or "$25 to $30 for US buyers" via import stores) may still attract nostalgists hunkering for updated versions of Space Harrier ("the textbook example of how to remake a game: improve the things that need improving, highlight the good bits, and sell it for a song"), Monaco GP ("It's as fun as it is dumb, and it's really dumb"), Phantasy Star Generation 1 ("a decent remake of a fantastic game"), and, well, maybe not Golden Axe ("A slap in the face to fans.")
