A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Leo the Firefighter Cat is an adorable semi-open world firefighting simulator. It is a 3rd person shooter only the player uses a firehose and an ax, as a cat, to put out fires. Think Paw Patrol but with cats, more fire, and even vehicles. Unfortunately, this game is unplayable because there is no option to […]
This week, Gillman and I played through a couple stages in the newly released Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland on PC because it was the free game of the week on the Epic Game Store. Basically, I just wanted to check out the NES-mode, which didn’t disappoint.
Pokemon Channel (2003) is the sequel to N64’s Hey You Pikachu!. In other words, it is sort of a virtual pet simulator. Sort of… Packed inside the Pokemon Channel box were 3 GBA eReader cards that can be scanned into the game. In short, they are lousy line art cards to paint with a very […]
Developed by a small indie team, Aidan in Danger is a straightforward, retro-style action platformer based around simplicity. It only costs a few bucks and all the Achievements can be unlocked within twenty minutes, making it seem like this is an EastAsiaSoft published release, but there isn’t anything necessarily wrong with this title. It is […]
Released in August 1999 in the US, the Neogeo Pocket Color was SNK’s attempt to sneak into the handheld video game market, competing with the Nintendo Gameboy/Gameboy Color and the Pokemon craze that was happening at the time. About a year later, SNK hit troubling times and was purchased by Azure, a pachinko manufacturer, and […]
Flynn’s Arcade, the publishers of the wonderful cult favorite Donut Dodo, released their latest new, retro arcade banger on Switch, Cash Cow DX. Like their other arcade releases, if you slapped this game into an arcade cabinet, you would think that you were transported to a late 80’s dingy smoke-filled arcade. Simple put, Cash Cow […]
EA’s Gamecube version of Lord of the Rings: Return of the King can be linked with the Gameboy Advance version. In the Cube game, players can upload abilities points gained in the GBA version. In the GBA game, Samwise Gamgee becomes unlocked during multiplayer link cable sessions. There is also the chance to see rare […]
A puzzle platforming adventure game set in a war-ravaged diesel punk world, The Last Shot reminds me of games like Limbo and Out Of This World only with less gruesome deaths. Even though you play as an engineer that looks like a background character on the Simpsons, the diesel punk visual setting is really the […]
Kiki – A Vibrant 3D Platformer is exactly as its name suggests. From a first-person perspective, players need to jump their way through 60 American Gladiator-like obstacle courses, optionally snagging a few collectables, that serve no purpose, along the way. Unfortunately, this game is unplayable. Why? Because there is no option to invert the vertical […]
A few weeks ago, Ratalaika Games and Shinyuden re-released Aero the Acro-Bat to modern platforms. Shortly thereafter, they announced they will also release the remaining games in the series including Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel. Personally, I think it is really cool this 16-bit mascot platformer is receiving new life even though Aero is a B-tier […]
