Earlier this week, I posted a comprehensive look at Electronic Gaming Monthly’s final reviews for every system they covered. At least, I thought it was comprehensive, but I was wrong. Immediately after I posted the episode, everybody (including a former member of EGM’s Review Crew) reached out to tell me that I missed the Nuon, a short-lived DVD technology from VM Labs that failed to make much of a splash back in 2000. How could I have missed this?

The answer is surprisingly simple: It’s because the Nuon was never officially part of the Review Crew. It also didn’t get its own standalone feature. Believe it or not, all of the Nuon reviews were crammed into the very last place you would look – the news section. Who puts a bunch of reviews next to the hard-hitting news? No wonder I skipped right over the system.

To make up for this oversight, I want to countdown Electronic Gaming Monthly’s top four Nuon games. Now, you may snicker that we’re only covering four games, but it’s worth mentioning that the Nuon only had eight games, and one of them was exclusive to South Korea. We can also drop Iron Soldier 3, which was briefly released before being recalled. In other words, Electronic Gaming Monthly managed to review four of the six games, which is 67% of the catalog. Hey, that’s not bad. So come, join me as I make things right and countdown Electronic Gaming Monthly’s top four Nuon games. Don’t laugh, this is serious.
