Four in the Row is Connect-4, the popular board game everyone has played, but with a twist. Instead of only having the ability to drop pieces from the top of the board, the player can drop pieces from any side. The goal is still to connect four pieces in a row but being able to…
Zelda II’s opening music is awesome
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link is easily the most controversial game in the series (no, not counting the CD-I games). Whether you love or hate the side scrolling, action-based combat and steep difficulty, there is no denying this sequel has some of the best music in the entire series. Personally, I think the opening…

Ghostanoid (Switch) Review
Ghostanoid is an Arkanoid/Breakout clone with a ghost busting twist. Instead of clearing the screen of every brick, the goal is to hit each ghost enough times to make them disappear. Buff and debuffs are almost constantly thrown at the player and each ghost behaves a little differently. The builder ghost, for example, will replace…

Ping Redux (Switch) Review
Originally released on Xbox One in late 2019, Ping Redux is Break-Out/Arkanoid clone but turned into a puzzle solving game. This Switch version is essentially the same game as the Xbox One version we covered but outfitted with the Switch’s HD rumble feature. Ping Redux isn’t about knocking all the bricks on a stage. Instead,…
Jet Kave Adventure (Xbox One) Review
Originally released on Switch a couple years ago, Jet Kave Adventure is now available on Microsoft’s home console. Upon first glance, it might be easy to make the assumption this is a generic 90s 2.5D mascot platformer. Well, you would be right but gameplay is actually a lot better than expected. You play as a…
Warplanes: WWI Sky Aces (Switch) Review
Released in early 2019, Warplanes: WW2 Dogfight was a pleasantly unexpected aerial fighter published by 7Levels and developed by Home Net Games. Warplanes: WWI Sky Aces is the sequel to this under appreciated eShop title and basically acts like DLC as opposed to a whole new game, for better or worse. Instead of flying WW2…

SYNTHETIK: Ultimate (Xbox One) Review
With a “the robots have taken over” Terminator-ish plot, Synthetik: Ultimate is the latest twin-stick roguelite to hit consoles and PC. Although it has a few elements to slightly separate itself from the other titles in this crowded genre it ultimately winds up feeling a little artificial. Using both analog sticks to move and shoot…
