A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
The 4th Cyber Citizen Shockman game to be re-released over the last year or so, Cyber Citizen Shockman Zero is the most playable and enjoyable. Originally released on Super Famicom, Shinyuden and Ratalaika once again translated this Japan-exclusive title and released it on modern platforms at an affordable price. They deserve a lot of credit […]
The Gamecube version of James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing can be linked with the GBA version of Everything or Nothing. When connected, players gain access to a non-interactive scoreboard that displays some basic stats and can occasionally provide a vague gameplay hint. This GBA link feature only available when playing the Single-Player campaign. Instead, […]
Magical Drop Pocket is a vertically shooting puzzle game for the Neogeo Pocket Color that has a 2-player link cable vs mode. Instead of controlling a boring cursor, players force a clown to suck up balls from the top of the screen, the relocate them in other places to make combos.
Clearly inspired by 1982’s Robotron: 2084, Satryn DX is Flynn Arcade’s newest, retro arcade-style release. Simply put, if classic Robotron was remade here in 2024, this would be the result. Retaining the same twin-stick controls, sequential level-based stages, and overall save-and-survive gameplay, this $7 digital download has everything that made Eugene Jarvis’ original a hit. […]
I’ve been saying it for years. To make just about any game instantly more fun, simply add a double jump or grapple hook. Rusted Moss firmly incorporates the latter and then some, establishing this as a well made Metroidvania about making the journey just as satisfying as reaching the destination and unlocking the new ability. […]
Essentially a sequel to the Drunken Fist games, Hot Blood is humorous take on the single player brawler. Hot Blood uses the same engine, visual style, and overall gameplay of Drunken Fist right down the moveset, drinking a beverage to restore health, and the purposely floaty camera and play control. The biggest difference comes from […]
Originally released in 2010 on Nintendo DS, Ghost Trick is now available on PC and modern consoles. During our stream, I reminisce with Gillman about this game because I have a distinct memory of playing it at E3 2010 in the Capcom booth, the last E3 that we attended. Glad to see this game finally […]
The Neogeo Pocket Color version of Puyo Pop sells for mint today but still contains classic Puyo Puyo gameplay. Unfortunately, the lack of music and confusing options do not do it any favors, but at least the classic match-4 gameplay is still fun regardless.
Published by EastAsiaSoft, Go Go Jump!!! is a simple timed-based boss gauntlet. Playing as Dylan the dog, the goal is to survive each boss’s jump trial to earn badges. The plot is comical and often breaks the fourth wall while the high res 2D visuals feel like playing a cartoon. Using only the analog stick […]
Glyphs of Gitzan puts a slight twist on the classic Sokoban block pushing puzzler. Instead of simply pushing blocks in a certain order to fill gaps or bypass obstacles, each pillar needs to be moved to light up all tiles on the floor. Pillars display an icon in which the direction on the floor will […]
