A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
Don’t let the heavily pixelated screenshots fool you. Pangeon is a decent but very simple dungeon crawler that moves with the speed and fluidity of Doom. The 2D sprites in a 3D space and the tight corridors also give off serious Wolfenstein vibes. Playing as one of four character classes, the goal is to reach […]
Clearly inspired by the lore and gameplay elements of Konami’s Castlevania, Wallachia: Reign of Dracula is a highly difficult retro-style digital download. Everyone has heard of the term Metroidvania but this title published by No Gravity Games is actually a ContraMan as it blends the faster speed of Contra but with gunplay of something like […]
SNK has released another NEOGEO Pocket Color (NGPC) fighting game to the Nintendo Switch eShop, The Last Blade: Beyond the Destiny, alongside the previously released Gals’ Fighters, King of Fighters R-2, and Samurai Showdown! 2. Like these other fan favorite fighters, the NGPC edition of The Last Blade features approachable gameplay for all skill levels […]
It is difficult to not like an action RPG. Exploring large worlds, killing legions of monsters, and constantly gaining loot and enhancements, especially with a buddy or two at your side, is a winning recipe. Torchlight III checks all these boxes and provides a sound experience although it doesn’t contain the magical allure that it […]
Rusty Spout Rescue Adventure deserves a little credit as there is an attempt at creating a story with hand drawn visuals but sadly is nothing more than a low quality Bust-A-Move knock-off. Odd design choices really hold back the entire experience. Like Bust-A-Move, the goal is to shoot bubbles from the bottom of the screen, […]
2020 is a unique year. We have an ongoing pandemic, murder hornets, and there are two stand out games involving animals. The first was Fight Crab and now we have Alpaca Ball Allstars. Like Fight Crab, Alpaca Ball Allstars is a super dumb game. It is ridiculous and it is dumb… but that is what […]
Originally released in 2012 on PC, They Bleed Pixels is one tough platformer featuring a little demonic girl with meat skewers for hands. This isn’t just about avoid hazards and making difficult jumps, but They Bleed Pixels carries a heavy emphasis on combat. Using only two buttons, one for jump and one for attack, this […]
When Xbox Live launched on the original Xbox, Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge was the title most Microsoft owners played when they wanted a break from the groundbreaking Halo 2. Known for arcadey aerial dogfights and the ability to play two-players online on the same console with one Xbox Live subscription, Crimson Skies was […]
Grood is a highly difficult 2D horizontal shooter. Other than a time slowing mechanic, there are no other highlighting features making this an average shooter at best. The game has three difficulty settings: hard, hard, and hard (literally). Having a stiff difficulty setting doesn’t make the game extra fun, unfortunately. Instead of offering a genuine […]
Terror Squid is a score-based, arcade-style “survive for as long as you can” top-down shooter with a twist. Playing as a triangle, the player constantly moves at a set pace around a spinning global, dropping a never-ending string of bullets in your wake. Avoiding contact with this bullet excrement for as long as possible is […]
