A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
A couple years ago, Ultimate Games released Demolish & Build on Switch, PC, and Xbox. At the time, it was one of the better sim titles, a genre that Ultimate Games almost exclusives releases. Unfortunately, this sequel, Demolish & Build Classic, is more of the same only it runs even worse. Like so many other […]
In order to fully understand Bright Memory: Infinite and why it is the way it is, it is imperative to understand its development history. Originally launching as Bright Memory within Steam Early access a few years ago, a small indie dev built this game with a strong emphasis on gun/swordplay and a visual fidelity that […]
A top-down twin-stick roguelite, Heroes of Hammerwatch: Ultimate Edition is a bit of a hidden gem. Although I am exhausted of the insane amount of roguelite titles released in each for the last few years, Hammerwatch managed to separate itself from the overcrowded genre by offering a tough-but-fair gameplay loop coupled with intuitive controls and […]
I recently confirmed that the DS Rumble Pak will work when connected to an Analogue Pocket to play compatible GB/GBC/GBA Rumble Pak enabled games. However, a commenter on that video asked if the DS Lite (aka the SLIM/FLUSH) Rumble Pak will work with an Analogue Pocket. In response to that question, I made this quick […]
Inspired by Super Mario Bros. 2, the small dev team at Horberg Productions released Onion Assault, a pick-up-and-throw side-scrolling platformer. The super smooth framerate, animations, and character design that pleased fans in Gunman Clive, Mechstermination Force, and Super Punch Patrol make a welcomed return. In other words, this looks and plays exactly how you’d expect […]
Pinky and the Brain: The Master Plan is a simple platformer that has a Single-Pak link multiplayer mode for 4 players. There are 5 stages available but this 2-minute game of Keep-Away is exactly action packed or filled with replay value. It is a simple, mindless distraction at best so fans are better off watching […]
A once friendly AI has turned on humanity and the fate of the world is now in the hands of two anime characters and their constantly firing ships. For a classic 2D scrolling shooter, there is a ton of story and narrative here. In fact, there might be too much lore as the dialog scenes […]
Speedball 2 is essentially NFL Blitz meets soccer only the players use their hands and slide tackles are encouraged. The frame rate isn’t great and the lack of a radar is misleading, but it isn’t the worst Single-Pak linkable experience on GBA even if there are no gameplay options available.
Guntech 2 is a free-roaming shooter shmup that incorporates twin-stick controls, 4-player co-op, and plenty to upgrade. Best played in short bursts, this shooter offers quality, mindless fun despite a few painstaking flaws that hold back the experience. Using both sticks to aim and shoot is wonderful, and I am amazed more shooters do not […]
OmegaBot is an action platformer that offers a straightforward retro-style run-and-gun experience. It plays sort of like Mega Man only with linear stages but has the kickback gunplay of something like Cave Story. It is a simple 2D side-scroller, one that I appreciate because it isn’t another frustrating random roguelite You play as a robot […]
