A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
These Toys Are Not Fun Using the word “Metroidvania” to describe a game usually is enough to make gamers salivate. While Toy Odyssey: The Lost and Found is an action/platformer/RPG, it is also a roguelike. It is just too bad that the package winds up losing players in the dark, literally. The player takes control […]
Catch A Wave Ported from iOS devices, Riptide GP: Renegade is an accessible, arcadey racer that does an admirable job at creating easy-going entertainment with a budget value. It isn’t deep by any means but shoots straightforward as a gaming pleasure when enjoyed in ten-minute bursts. Watch my Twitch steam of Riptide GP: Renegade below […]
Deceivingly Difficult 8DAYS looks and plays like a simple top-down action adventure but do not be deceived by this twin stick shooter. The difficulty level is exceedingly high, cheap in many ways, that requires patience and near perfect play-throughs to complete. Rage quitters be warned. Presented through BadLand Games and Santa Clara Games, 8DAYS is […]
Slow Shooting Ported from the mobile environment, Dead Effect 2 is a FPS created by a small team of developers that isn’t necessarily designed to be the next Halo or Call of Duty. Instead, gameplay is rather straightforward (go here, shoot this, protect that, open this, etc) and environmental design repeats but there is just […]
Divide and Conquer Originally released in 2011 on the original DS and now available on the Wii U’s Virtual Console, Kirby Mass Attack is probably as close to playing a Pikmin game on Nintendo’s handheld as can be. Although some level designs can be rather cheap and the overall quest is lengthy, the ending is […]
More Saga. More Mercenaries. Everything that I said in my Mercenaries Saga 2 review holds true for Mercenaries Saga 3: Gray Wolves of War as it is essentially the same exact game only with a new story and new cast of characters. From the 16-bit visual aesthetic, to the abilities and leveling system, to the […]
Double Bogey For about the cost of one round of real-life mini golf, Touch Mini Golf offers players over 1,000 holes to play! Although Teyon packed a wealth of content in this five dollar 3DS eShop download, players will probably only play through a course of two due to frustrating controls and a totally pointless […]
Running Gnomes Originally released as 2-Fast-4-Gnomz, Geki Yaba Runner Deluxe is basically a port of a port. First released on WiiWare, then on the 3DS eShop and even mobile devices, Geki Yaba Runner Deluxe is essentially the same game as 2-Fast-4-Gnomz just resold under an even goofier name. Just like these original versions, this auto […]
Long Name, Short Game If you think about it, tanks are not really used as much as they probably should when it comes to video games (unlike zombies which are in every game nowadays). The Atari 2600 would not have been the same without Combat, there are other arcade-to-console tank titles like Tank! Tank! Tank!, […]
Reviving the Past Back in mid-2015, Nintendo re-released their Legend of Zelda Nintendo Power comics as one visual novel. You can read our full review of this book HERE. While it is nice to see the effort put forth to preserve this forgotten ephemera, the quality of the story and visual art style do not […]
