REVIEW – PING REDUX (Xbox One) with streamPositioned as a sibling game to PING 1.5, PING REDUX is a one part puzzle game and one part Arkanoid. Unlike the numerous Break-Out/Brickles clones out there, the goal isn’t to make a bouncing ball bump into all the pieces on the board. Instead, the player needs to have the ball touch an orange sphere […]

REVIEW – Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered (Xbox One) with streamOriginally released in 2009 on pretty much every system available at the time, Ghostbusters: The Video Game essentially acted as Ghostbusters 3 since a third movie was never made. Now, ten years later and released just in time for Halloween, how well does this last gen title hold up? Well, it plays and looks like […]

REVIEW – Jalopy (Xbox One)Jalopy, a game about driving through the European Eastern bloc with your uncle in the early 1980s, is probably the slowest and least exciting game you might ever play. While it will not please action fans, there is something definitely unique about the obscure approach of Jalopy’s gameplay. The ultimate gameplay loop involves driving from […]

All the bells and whistles you expect are here including visual toggles such as screen stretching, enabling scanlines, and plenty of boarder options. Even the worbbly arcade […]

REVIEW – SEGA AGES Ichidant-R Puzzle & Action (Switch)There is good reason you never heard of Ichidant-R before; it has a confusing name and was only released to Japanese arcades in 1994. Thankfully, Sega and M2 have ported this forgotten arcade title to Nintendo Switch under the SEGA AGES banner. The easiest way to describe Ichidant-R is to compare it to other mini […]

REVIEW – Reventure (Switch)At first glance, the 2D pixel art of Reventure might look like a typical puzzle platformer, possibly with some Metroidvania gameplay, but includes something entirely unique. Instead of simply trying to save a princess, the ultimate goal is to unlock all 100 different endings. This might sound tedious, or even confusing, but just about every […]

REVIEW – Cyber Protocol (Switch)You know those block pushing puzzles in every Zelda game, mostly in the ice dungeons, when you push a block and it slides until it stops by making contact with another block or wall? Cyber Protocol is essential 100 levels of this block pushing puzzle mechanic only amplified with traps, hazards, collectables, and a bright […]

REVIEW – The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening (Switch 2019)Calling The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening 2019 Switch release a complete remake isn’t exactly accurate as it follows the same gameplay formula, narrative, and overall structure only with an entirely new coat of paint a few new quality of life enhancements. Perhaps calling it an overhaul, or an enhancement, is a little more fitting […]
