A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy – With a gentle tone and a slower paced platforming experience, Yoshi’s New Island might harken back to the original SNES adventure but uninspired level design, a forgettable soundtrack, and tedious motion control shortchange this cult following favorite. Just like the original SNES game, a bundle of different colored Yoshis are […]
Can You Hear Me Now? – The main gimmick behind Das Keyboard is the clicky, tactile response with each individual keystroke. Until you type on it yourself, there really is no way to accurately describe how this keyboard is different from other models on the market. Here is a video I made over a year […]
Can This Elastic Fishing Rod Platformer Hook You? Originally released on the Super Famicom in 1994 as the Umihara Kawase series, Yumi’s Odd Odyssey stays true to its name as there really is nothing normal about this 3DS eShop downloadable title. Starring a 20 year old anime girl, the goal is to reach Point A […]
Best Baseball Game Ever! (This review was originally posted back in early 2005. But now that R.B.I. Baseball ’14 is about to launch, I thought I would repost this review.) Here’s the thing: I have never really liked sports video games. My philosophy is that if I’m going to participate in a sport, I will […]
Stand and Protect – The biggest gimmick behind the Wii U is the tablet-like Gamepad. This special controller is responsible for the majority of the cost of a Wii U so it only makes sense to want to project it. In fact, Nintendo does not even offer replacement/extra Gamepads at retail so keeping this unique […]
Now You Can Hate Yourself All Day! – Giving McDonalds and Burger King a run for their money, Taco Bell has just started to play in the breakfast food category. What exact does this have to do with games, technology, and other geeky stuff? Nothing really, I just wanted an excuse to blog about this […]
Herding Cats – Skater Cat is not your typical runner. Running into walls, falling on spikes, and even getting hit by enemies does not cause an instant one-hit kill Game Over; the only way to really die is to fall down a hole which causes a full restart. Play control is very easy: the Circle […]
OH MY GOD, THEY MADE A GOOD GAME! With a shaky development history, publisher drama, and numerous delays, it is a wonder how South Park: The Stick of Truth actually found its way onto store shelves. But boy am I glad it did. Not only does this title recreate the look and feel of the […]
An Extended Demo With Tons of Replayability- Starting with the poorly ported NES original, I have been a rabid Metal Gear fan since the inception of the series, playing through every single US released title since. Like the rest of the world, I am anxiously awaiting the Phantom Pain (currently with an unannounced release date) […]
Blending Sudoku, Picross, and Mine Sweeper – Mixing puzzle elements from Picross and Sudoku, Tappingo is a different type of puzzle game that offers a casual but yet refined experience for a low cost. Using the stylus, the goal is to create 8-bit sprites by stringing together tiles in the correct order. Each puzzle has […]
