A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
A 2D single-player side-scrolling roguelite, Atomic Owl is dynamic hack-and-slash platformer published by EastAsiaSoft. There is a lot happening in this action game but struggles to find a cohesive gimmick to gel it all together. Playing as an owl who is chilling with his ramen eating bird friends, disaster strikes and you get knocked out […]
Super Columns on Game Gear is more polished in comparison to the original. However, only the standard Endless Vs mode is available when using the link cable. The Flash mode is still available in solo play but didn’t make the transition to the multiplayer mode.
ININ, Tozai Games, and Irem have re-released R-Type Dimensions III on current gen platforms with significant visual upgrades. But even with the visual overhaul, how well does this shooter hold up today? R-Type III is known as one of the hardest SNES games ever made. Really, one of the hardest games released on any system, […]
Originally released on PS3 many years ago, Soldner-X-2: Final Prototype was later re-released on PS4 and now on Switch as the Definitive Edition. Being honest, I am not sure what has been added to make this the “Definitive Edition” but the there is still a lot of quality shooter gameplay here at a smooth framerate. […]

The Game Gear version of Bust-A-Move features a 2-player versus mode when using the Gear-to-Gear link cable. It wasn’t until many years later did the Gameboy receive a multiplayer compatible version of Bust-A-Move making this Game Gear version a more superior way to play this classic puzzle game.
Playing as a girl trying to navigate a surreal dream environment, Constance is a Metroidvania trying to shine a light on something everyone feels sooner or later – burnout. The beautiful backdrops, fluid hand drawn visuals, and snappy controls remain the star of the show but it isn’t all high notes, unfortunately. Gameplay is reminiscent […]
Originally released in 2021 on Switch, Artax Games and Flying Beast Labs have ported their color matching tower defense(ish) download title, Magic Twins, to Xbox and Playstation. While it is nice to see their unique reaction puzzle game become available on additional platforms, all the pros and cons of this five-year-old game remain. Here is […]
Rataliaka Games is one of my favorite sleeper hit publishers. Like EastAsiaSoft, most of the games they release only cost a few dollars and focus on indie developed titles geared around one gimmick honed to a bright polish. At the same time, Ratalaika deserves a lot of respect and credit for re-releasing forgotten earlier console […]
