A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Grind Survivors is another top-down auto-firing shooter in the horribly over populated rogue survivors genre. Walk around an environment. Pick up the XP from defeated foes. Enhance your damage output by stacking another weapon or buff. Repeat until you die. Even with its somewhat generic art style and weapon variety, it is a par-for-the-course action […]
Although it was released on PC a while ago, Devil Jam is now available on most modern platforms and acts as one of the survivor titles to be released this week. Although its gimmick of having a Hades-style visual presentation and focus on heavy metal beat-based combat, it didn’t grip me like countless others in […]
Super Space Invaders is one of the few Game Gear titles to offer 2-player co-op by using the Gear-to-Gear link cable. Co-op is just like the single player game but Space Invaders is always the most fun in multiplayer. This forgotten sequel also sits right in-between the original arcade version and the Extreme series (DS/PSP). […]
Sequel to Overpowered 1: Mars Infestation, Overpowered 2: Crux of Fate is essentially more of the same but with some key differences. Both games are auto-shooting Survivor titles but the original had players moving room to room Smash T.V.-style. Here in the sequel, there is only one room big it is much bigger and the […]
Published by Ratalaika Games and developed by lightUp, Adventurous Slime is basically palette swapped Beaked Buccaneer. Which is not a negative because this simple, casual, 1-hour Metroid-like is rather pleasant, albeit nothing fancy or overly engaging. Playing as a slime with the ability to jump and shoot, it is your job to stop an evil […]
Published by the newly revived Acclaim, Basketball Classics is a pick-up-and-play homage to classic 8-bit sports titles, particularly Double Dribble. This is a solid example of a new, retro game done right and anyone over the age of 40 will certainly appreciate. The obvious stand-out feature is the purposely pixelated retro visual style. The fluid, […]
Batman: The Brave And The Bold, The Video Game (2010) are forgotten Wii and Nintendo DS brawlers developed by WayForward. These neglected beat’em ups have a unique feature – the DS version can be linked with the Wii version in real time. When connected, the DS player controls the BatMite using the stylus to drop […]
Defending Camelot is a tower defense title that takes obvious inspiration from Plants Vs Zombies. It doesn’t have the same level of charm as EA’s fan favorite but there is enough here for TD players to enjoy even if it is copy/paste. Instead of using plants to stop waves of the undead from reaching the […]
Shikakui Atama o Marukusuru: Kanzen Seiha Wii is a Japan exclusive Wii game that makes the connection with the Nintendo DS a prominent feature. When synced, the handheld is used as each player’s input device to submit handwritten answers, can choose from multiple choice, and there is even a simple paint program that serves no […]
Raiden Fighters Remix Collection, by MOSS and H2 Interactive, is a compilation of three beloved vertical shooters: Raiden Fighters, Raiden Fighters 2, and Raiden Fighters Jet. Then, each title includes both the English and Japanese versions, supports online leaderboards, and some remixed tunes have also been bundled. This sounds like a winning formula, right? Unfortunately, […]
