A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
Published by Ratalaika Games, They Came From The Sky 2 is a fun, score based 2D side scrolling action game that reminds me of arcade classic Rampage only with aliens instead of giant monsters. Playing as an alien in a side shuffling walker, it is your job to kill, abduct, and destroy as many humans […]
Published by RedDeer.Games, Dros is an adventurous platformer mainly based around environmental puzzle solving. The gameplay gimmick comes from controlling two unique characters at once. Captain, a knight that can swing a sword but cannot jump, and a Dros, a blob of black goo that can double jump but cannot attack. Together, they make an […]
When Carbonated Games and Microsoft Game Studio launched Uno in 2006 on the Xbox 360 as a part of the Xbox Live Arcade, it was a big deal and welcomed by players and critics. In 2016, Ubisoft and Mattle revamped the digital Uno experience, slowly adding DLC packs over the years. Here in 2024, Uno […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Published by Mooneye Studios, of the emotionally excellent Lost Ember, Farewell North is another melancholy tale designed to pull at your heartstrings. While the overall presentation is beautiful, complete with an outstanding musical score, the gameplay isn’t as striking. Farewell North is an adventure puzzle game revolving around restoring color to your previous home. Uniquely, […]
