A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Published by EastAsiaSoft for $5, Springbot: The Last Spark is a side scrolling indie platformer composed of 35 levels. While I have covered many EAS budget platformers over the years, this one, unfortunately, is easily one of the worst. Playing as robot with springs for legs, the goal is to simply make it to the […]
Batter Up! on Game Gear is Namco’s port of classic R.B.I. on Sega’s handheld. It plays, looks, and sounds just like the original, which is great because this baseball sim is excellent. Playing with the link cable is the best play to play this underappreciated handheld port.
Published by Sometimes You, Poetic Trio is a minimalist walking simulator with very little interactivity. Segmented into three chapters revolving around rain, wind, and snow, the lack of excitement and generic presentation doesn’t offer much other than an easy 1,000 gamerscore in about an hour. Built using stock assets within the Unreal Engine, the only […]
Have you ever wanted to get into Skyrim or the later Diablo games but were intimidated by their depth, time commitment, and complexity? Tale of Dark Lands has you covered as it is basically like a linear Skyrim-lite. The purposely low-poly visual style, which is designed around humorous tones, is also the same as Drunken […]
Aerial Assault is one of the few shooters on Game Gear and the only one to support 2-player co-op when using the Gear-to-Gear link cable. Besides shooting the enemy AI with a partner, the co-op gameplay turns into a surprise VS match at the conclusion of some stages. The winner is rewarded with points, which […]
Nitro City Racing, a $5 digital download by EastAsiaSoft, isn’t a typical racing game. It is basically a traffic, almost road rage managing, driving simulator designed around driving fast, without turning, and while narrowing avoiding the other vehicles on the road. Remember that game Stuntman on PS2? It sort of reminds me of that but […]
Sony announced the following games will be free to PS+ subscribers for June 2026. Grounded Fully Yoked Edition | PS5, PS4 Shrink down and survive in a perilous, creature-filled backyard. Mysteriously shrunken down to the size of an ant, your intrepid young adventurer must fight for survival as they experience the backyard from an entirely […]
Designed as an homage to Metal Gear Solid on PSOne, Spy Drops adopts some rogue elements into its retro sneaking action. Fans of the original MGS will appreciate the callback, but I fear newcomers that do not understand its inspiration will be left scratching their head. The nods to PSOne MGS is obvious. From the […]
Berlin no Kabe, aka The Berlin Wall, is a forgotten Japanese exclusive Game Gear game that has a pretty fun 2-player co-op mode when using the Gear-to-Gear link cable.
Published by CraePlay, MOTE: The Manuscript is the latest walking simulator that follows a similar formula as MOTE: Workshop and MOTE: The Old Office. This time, instead of moving through a carpenter’s workshop or an empty office building, the player moves through a confusing maze that is frustrating and not fun to decipher. Other than […]
