A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
Z-Warp is a vertical shmup that has unique gameplay mechanics that separates it from other shooters and will keep you coming back for more game over after game over. Gameplay is actually very simple but very intuitive, responsive, and thoughtful. Holding the shoot button unleashes a powerful blast but at the cost of reduced movement […]
An ode to OutRun, Slipstream is an 80s indie driving game about drifting at right angles to make right turns, outfitted with a wondrous pixelated backdrop. It isn’t exactly original and tracks are pretty bland (you’re either just cruising straightaways or drifting hard) but it is still a cool experience. There are a handful of […]
Big Bang Pro Wrestling is the latest Neogeo Pocket Color game to be re-released digitally on the Switch eShop. To this point, I have covered every NGPC re-release, including the Steam version of the of Vol.1 compilation, and have to say that this wrestling title is my least favorite of the current titles available. At […]
A simple action platformer, Horned Knight is a low cost digital downloadable title (a limited run physical version is available via Red Art Games) about jumping, avoiding hazards, dashing, killing monsters, and wall jumping to reach the goal. It isn’t anything you have not played before but it is a casual, enjoyable experience especially for […]
Proving Chris Columbus wrong, Flat Kingdom demonstrates that the world is flat. It is admirable when game purposely markets itself as a game without 3D but this isn’t a Paper Mario clone as you might assume from a screenshot. Instead, this is a rock-paper-scissor action platformer with a hint of environmental puzzle solving. The standout […]
A simple tunnel shooter action game, Thunder Kid: Hunt For The Robot Emperor plays like an arcade game from the mid-80s but with early PSOne style visuals. Controlling the Thunder Kid, it is your job to navigate through each stage which is basically a tunnel, killing simple robots along the way, and eventually facing brutal […]
A comical single-screened boss gauntlet horizontal shooter, Fingun provides stupid fun for the thirty minutes that it lasts. With most of the visuals made in MS Paint, the game never takes itself too seriously and unlocks a few mature images upon completion, a feature in most Gamuzumi games. Controlling a hand that shoots circle bullets […]
Created by a small dev team and published by Drageus Games, Super Cyborg doesn’t just have Contra inspiration, this is basically a brand new 8-bit style Contra game from how closely the gameplay and visual style mimics Konami’s classic shooter. From the summersault flip jumps and one-hit kills, to the spread gun and large bosses, […]
Although I’ve covered many headsets over the years, and there are many quality units available, I’ve always preferred Astro products. Ever since I reviewed the Astro wireless A50 in 2012, Astro has been a brand that has consistently released top tier units, has been a favorite of mine, and whenever they release something, it is […]
In late 2020, All in! Games released Red Wings: Aces of the Sky where I praised its arcadey gameplay and responsive controls. This sequel, Red Wings: American Aces, is exactly the same as the original release only with the addition of 10-player online multiplayer support. Everything is the same as the first game right down […]
