Ported from an old PC Flash game, Strike Force Kitty has some depth but only if you can suffer through the grueling opening hours of trial and error. This 2D side-scrolling auto attacker is actually a pretty complex title and there are zero instructions and zero tutorials. Making matters worse, the few words that are…

REVIEW – Marblelous Animals (Switch)
A super simple game that anyone can play, Marblelous Animal tasks the player with rolling an animal shaped marble into a hole using the Switch’s gyro controls. Even though the overall concept and musical soundtrack is easy going, there are a few basic housekeeping flaws that push the overall experience into the frustration column. The…
REVIEW – Black Future ‘88 (Switch)
Since the sun stopped shinning, the remaining citizens of Earth stopped keeping time. Therefore, it is a perpetual 1988 in this 2D dystopia and murderous robots are trying to take their revenge. The story in Black Future ‘88 is dismal, and even a little Matrix-ish, but the entire experience leans into this bleak narrative. Playing…

REVIEW – Blindy (Switch)
You know what makes a platformer annoying? Blind jumps. Having the player jump off screen into the unknown, which could easily lead to instant death or unfair damage, has been defined as poor game design for years. Now what if there was a game that focused entirely on this frustrating game mechanic – that is…
REVIEW – Yaga (Xbox One) Review
Playing as an unlucky one handed blacksmith, Yaga is an action RPG that defines its gameplay loop early. After the opening cutscene, in which you learn how Ivan the blacksmith loses his hand, players walk around the town hub talking to citizens to acquire quests. Then the blacksmith leaves town, selects a task, then heads…
VIDEO – Nintendo 3DS theme: Super Mario: Wooden World walkthrough
Currently available for 100 Platinum Coins via the MyNintendo program, this 3DS/2DS Wooden Super Mario theme is all about wood. Not really sure what wood has to do with Mario, but hey, it is something different. It is NOT animated but both screens scroll. The main Mario theme music also plays, there is no sleep/wake-up…
