A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Ario is a 2.5D action-adventure that has some slight tower defense mechanics periodically. Unfortunately, the lack of polish makes this game unplayable in spots with some truly head scratching design choices. Playing as a boy searching for his mother as it gets raided by odd looking masked enemies, the plot doesn’t make sense. Normally, the […]
Diamond Hands: To the Moon is literally the same game has Hellstruck, Rage with Your Friends right down to the menu interface and gameplay. The only difference is, instead of playing as a demon, you play as a businessman… for some reason. Either way, be prepared to suffer as this game is tough and requires […]
Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike (2003) has an unnecessary connectivity feature with a Gameboy Advance. Exclusively available in the 2-Player Vs mode, a GBA can be linked to display the wingman commands. In other words, if the player didn’t want to tap orders via the Gamecube controller’s d-pad, you can awkwardly take your […]
Hellstruck: Rage with Your Friends is a Jump King clone. If you never played Jump King, it is a comically difficult vertical platformer that demands perfection and the utmost dedication. Playing as a demon, it is your job to jump from platform to platform to reach the top. There are no enemies to fight. No […]
Clearly inspired by classic 8-bit Castlevania, Crypt Stalker is essentially a new NES-style Castlevania game right down to the overall interface, spritework, gameplay, and plot, but with some welcomed editions. Instead of being a descendant of a long line of professional vampire killers, you play as a stalker – one deemed worthy enough to save […]
This week, me and Gillman play some Supermarket Simulator (PC, 2024). During this quick stream, we talk about simulators in general and how they have annoyingly taken over all aspects of gaming recently.
Crash Nitro Kart on Nintendo Gamecube has two connectivity features with a Gameboy Advance. If the GBA cartridge version is connected, racers, stages, and cheats become unlocked (Spyro on the GBA version becomes playable). If an empty GBA is linked, a pointless music-based mini game can be downloaded.
Publish by Ratalaika Games, Orion Haste is a small, indie developed run-and-gun action game clearly inspired by Contra. While it doesn’t offer anything you haven’t seen previously, this action game can act as comfort food for those who enjoy the genre. Playing as a soldier trying to stop aliens messing with the oxygen supply, it […]
A simple 3D platformer, Master Maker 3D Ultimate only costs five bucks, has a handful of easy, big point Achievements, but is horribly low quality. All stage assets are composed of plain blocks which provides an intentional low-poly visual design. Which is fine. It is going for the retro-style theme. However, the play control is […]
Linking the Gameboy Advance version of Hot Wheels Velocity X to the Gamecube version of the same name rewards the player with two exclusive vehicles in the GBA version… that is, if you can actually figure out how to connect both games. The worst part, the GBA version lacks a save feature and the master […]
