A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Fatal Fury: First Contact is the latest Neogeo Pocket Color (NGPC) fighting game to be ported to the Nintendo Switch eShop. Like The Last Blade: Beyond the Destiny, Gals’ Fighters, King of Fighters R-2, and Samurai Shodown! 2, Fatal Fury is a quality fighter and the same nifty housekeeping features found in the other releases […]
Defentron is as simple as a tower defense game gets. The only gimmick it has is the neon 80s visual theme. Each stage is small, linear, and lacks any creativity. The enemy horde starts on one end, you place a few towers in the middle and prevent them from reaching the other end. Unfortunately, the […]
A point and click adventure without a single word of spoken dialog, When The Past Was Around is heavily based around a narrative dripping with emotion, sadness, and the difficulty of coping when someone close is no longer there. It touches on the topic of moving on without knowing how but in a way that […]
Tanuki Justice, published by PixelHeart (physical) and NoGravityGames (digital) and developed by Wonderboy Bobi, has run-and-gun Contra style gameplay with charming 8-bit visuals. It also has that old school challenge that demands practice in order to complete each stage. Although difficult, it is still beatable with some persistence. The tanukis are also pretty darn cute. […]
Published by Sometimes You, I, AI is a vertical shooter with a leveling mechanic. Although not as balanced as Aircraft Evolution, this old school action game is fluid and rewards skilled players. Playing as a self-aware AI, the first stage has an electric spark escaping from a space station prison and overtaking a space craft. […]
Destropolis has just about everything you want in an arena high-score based twin-stick shooter. It is constant action, the screen can fill will an uncountable amount of enemies, there are power-ups galore, and it features co-op play. The minimalist presentation also provides a timeless and contemporary visual style. Simply put, you play as a 3D […]

Brawl Chess – Gambit is a right-to-the-point digital version of Chess. If you enjoy Chess but hate physically setting up the pieces, this $9.99 download will make your life a little easier although the lack of options is disappointing. You can check out my stream of Brawl Chess – Gambit embedded below: The gimmick behind […]
It is actually pretty amazing that there are so few light gun shooters available on Switch. The Wii, with its motion controlled controller, had plenty “shoot at the screen” games but the Switch Joy Cons have similar functionality. S.N.I.P.E.R. – Hunter Scope is an unexpected but solid on-rails shooter that takes advantage of this under-utilized […]
