A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
Dead End City is a vertical post-apocalyptic shooter that mixes the overall vibe of Mad Max with the enemy behaviors of Galaga/Galaxian but with some stage design of Gun.Smoke. It is a fun shooter, but the higher difficulty requires plenty of trial, error, and memorization. The gimmick of gameplay comes from the fuel system. This […]
Following the same formula, overall presentation, and gameplay loop of the previous games in the Pretty Girls series, Pretty Girls Klondike Solitaire PLUS is classic solitaire only with a PG-rated anime girl in the bottom corner of the screen. You know that Microsoft Solitaire game that is installed on your computer? This game follows that […]
At the time of this article, it is the beginning of March 2024, but I can already comfortably exclaim that Ufouria The Saga 2 is going to be one of my top games of 2024. Don’t be surprised if you never heard of Sunsoft’s Ufouria The Saga. Released only in Japan and European at the […]
Dungeonoid 2 Awakening is a merging of genres. It takes classic Arkanoid gameplay but mixes it with a scrolling platformer. Without question, this is a fun and creative take on the classic single-player Pong formula but is held back by unfair and frustrating difficulty at times. Breakout and Arkanoid, for comparison, take place on a […]
Published by RedDeer.Games, Golfinite contains typical 3-hit meter-based gameplay but it’s the approach that sets it apart for better and worse. Caught awkwardly between a realistic sim and fantasy, this is actually a really strange golf game. Presented through a pleasant pixel art style, players will play on courses composed of typical grass, forested areas, […]
Published by RedDeerGames, Project Downfall has made a name for itself by sporting a John Wick lookalike in the game’s main promo art (yet you never see the playable character in-game which leads me to believe it was very much intentionally ripped off to draw attention). Although you wield several different weapons and shoot enemies […]
An action-based side-scrolling platformer published by EastAsiaSoft, Dreamcutter will best be enjoyed by 13-year-old boys who have the patience to grind through the repetitive gameplay to reach the payoff – visual novel still images of anime naughty bits. Playing as an anime babe trapped in a dreamworld, a mysterious scythe becomes both a tool and […]
With a console as popular as the Switch, it is no surprise third parties want to try and claim a piece of its success. QRD, makers of third party controllers, has released their T5 wireless joypad for Switch, a variant over the original T3 model. Targeting more serious Switch players, this Hall Effect joypad is […]
Action platformers The Adventures of Panzer and The Adventures of Panzer 2 have been bundled together in the Adventures of Panzer: Legacy Collection, published by Ratalaika Games for $9. These are original NES games ported to modern consoles and have classic Ninja Gaiden-ish run-platform-attack gameplay. Built around a humorous, light-hearted story, gameplay focuses on reaching […]
Published by EastAsiaSoft at a low price point, Saga of the Moon Priestess is essentially an indie Link’s Awakening. It is a bite sized, simple, approachable, wholesome four-hour adventure featuring the classic top-down Zelda perspective, puzzle solving, and combat. Playing as a priestess, it is your job to stop a witch and rescue a prince. […]
