A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
A very simple platformer made by a small team, Castle of the Pixel Skulls is a retro throwback that controls well, is pick-up-and-playable by anyone, but there isn’t much meat on this skeleton’s bones. Using only the analog stick and a single button to jump, there is no gimmick with this basic 2D platformer. There […]
Originally debuting in 2007, Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space Remastered has been upgraded over the original. This 5 chapter batch of episodic content has been enhanced with updated visuals, re-encoded audio, better lighting and more.

From the same team that ported Greylancer to modern consoles, Gynoug is another Sega Mega Drive exclusive now made accessible to American players for the first time. Much like Greylancer, this is an entertaining shooter, especially for fans of the genre and that never played the original, but the lacking quality of life features are […]
Circa Infinity deserves a ton of credit for providing a new approach to the platforming genre. Instead of running to the right to reach the goal, players jump to the next stage from within a circling pinwheel, hence the “infinity” portion of the title. Although interesting, the challenge is not for the faint of heart. […]
Originally developed in 1992, Westone’s 2D arcade game was shelved in fear of it looking like an artifact when compared to 3D polygon based titles that were becoming the norm. Better late than never, Clockwork Aquario has now received a second life thanks to the dedicated work of ININ games by releasing it on PS4 […]
Konami’s handheld Gameboy Advance version of Silent Scope has a decent but short lived Single-Pak link offering. Instead of murdering bad guys, you instead murder balloons using one copy of the game for up to four players. This video is an overview of this extra mode.
The Last Stand: Aftermath is the latest roguelike game to hit digital marketplaces but has a few differences that separate it from the other dozen rogue titles released this week. (It seems every game is a rogue these days.) First difference is the isometric perspective with 3D models. Unfortunately, the bland browns and grays provide […]
This week, Gillman and I play a bit of FiberTales: DummyKart, a Mario Kart-type racer that has a Yoshi’s Woolly World visual theme and objective based races. It is a little different because each competition isn’t necessarily a race to the finish. Also, it only costs $5. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1717160/FiberTales_DummyKart/
