A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Published by Elantri Games for a very low price on the Playstation Store, Balloon Jump is a one button mobile game with nothing to offer other than what is probably easiest Platinum Trophy on PSN. Essentially vertical Flappy Bird, the player uses one button to make a balloon jump vertically in pre-determined increments. Along the […]
Nintendo’s Wave Race series originated on the Gameboy, not on the N64, and was one of the few original Gameboy titles to support the 4-Player Adapter. Wave Race on Gameboy still holds up today and the two different modes bring variety to the gameplay.
Originally released years ago, Steredenn: Binary Stars bundles all extra content and gameplay improvements into one quality package. It is a tough but fair horizontal roguelite shmup that has plenty to offer including local co-op. This fluid shooter has one important element to highlight – it is actually beatable (when you put in some work). […]
CarGo! is more than a creative play-on-words. It is a frantic, single-screened action puzzle game best played with local co-op partners about hauling cargo, get it, car-go? As a quick comparison, CarGo! is almost like Overcooked, that multiplayer cooking game, but with cars. Instead of walking back and forth in a kitchen to pick up […]
The Chromatic handheld is a new Gameboy Color released by a 3rd party called ModRetro. This handheld gaming system has all the features of Nintendo’s original device but with some nifty backlit screen options. Adding value to the $200 price point, ModRetro also includes their own officially licensed version of Tetris. Unfortunately, the multiplayer mode […]
Originally released in 1994 exclusively to arcade, Snow Bros. 2 is now available on Switch and PC as Snow Bros. 2 Special. The “Special” part of the name means it also includes a newly created Modern mode with numerous unlockable characters, extended boss fights, and online leaderboards. The $30 asking price is a bit much […]
Published by Sometimes You, Mortisomem is an adventure mystery horror game with PS1-ish style visuals. While it is never actually scary, the one-hour quest is rather interesting, different, and wished more games took this approach. Before going any further, it is important to note this is a first-person shooter without an option to invert the […]
Instead of being a new, retro arcade release designed around getting a high score, Flynn’s Arcade is making a pivot by publishing the addictive Skies Above, a leviathan defending simulator. The unique premise is newsworthy and thankfully the gameplay is there. This roguelite puts a stronger emphasis on story that directly blends into the gameplay, […]
Originally created for the Atari ST in 1987 and later ported to the original Gameboy, Bubble Ghost Remake has been fully remade and then some for this surprise 2025 release. Bubble Ghost is a forgotten, different, action-puzzle game based around reaction time and a large serving of trial-and-error. Honestly, I’ve been a fan of the […]
Dagger Froggy is the latest Survivors clone but with its own gimmick. Instead of constantly shooting within a massive environment, the playable frog can only toss one dagger in a straight line to defeat enemies. After the dagger is thrown, it is needs to be retrieved before it can be thrown again. At first, I […]
