A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (Switch and Switch 2, 2025) is compatible with all Metroid amiibo. The three specific Prime 4: Beyond amiibo (Samus, Samus on VI-O-LA, and Sylux) each unlock a small piece of content in-game. However, all other Metroid amiibo unlock one of five random sound effects. These amiibo can be scanned at any […]
Published by Ratalaika Games, Red Pippy is an endearing little 8-bit platformer about a bird learning to fly. This one-hour, casual romp doesn’t have much replay value but the low-cost, low stress, and each Achievements justifies the asking price. As I cleared the last stage and watched the brief ending sequence, the word “pleasant” kept […]
The N64 Transfer Pak was originally bundled with Pokemon Stadium, allowing players to import Pokemon from Red and Blue into the N64 title with full 3D. Even though it was mostly designed as a way for the handheld Pokemon games to communicate with the console titles, other bold developers took advantage of this under-utilized accessory […]
In my 20+ years writing about games I’ve been published digitally and in print, I’ve helped influence and launch countless titles, and had my quotes used for promotion… but I’ve never actually been credited in a game. Until now! AHRO is an experimental, indie game by OEH Interactive with deep lore and no combat. I’m […]
Monster Rancher Explorer on Gameboy Color has nothing to do with Monster Rancher. For some reason, the Monster Rancher IP was slapped onto a Solomon’s Key sequel (aka Fire ‘N Ice). Stranger yet, the coolest part about this forgotten handheld game is the really fun and intuitive map editor mode that only becomes available if […]
Sony announced the following games will be free to PS+ subscribers during December 2025. LEGO Horizon Adventures | PS5Join hunter Aloy as she battles to save Earth from an ancient digital demon, and a gang of sunworshippers who want to live in a world without shade so they can soak up the rays while everything […]
Retroware and Zenovia Interactive’s Neon Inferno is a striking run-and-gun shooter seeped in brooding mood, it is loaded with action, and has a deep, memorable tone. While the personality and visuals are cranked to eleven, sadly, the gameplay doesn’t exactly match high presentation values. The action takes heavy inspiration from classics like Contra and Wild […]
Published by EastAsiaSoft for $5, Bomb Kitten follows the classic Bomberman formula but with more reaction-based puzzle solving as opposed to explosive action. Instead of playing as a colored bomber dropping round bombs to destroy barriers and enemies, Bomb Kitten has the player controlling cat who drops square bombs to destroy barriers and enemies. However, […]
From the same developer that worked on Resogun and Dead Nation, Sektori is an eye-melting, insanely paced, twin-stick shooter. The adrenaline pumping gameplay mixed with kaleidoscope visuals and techno soundtrack results in constant sensory overload. You know those warnings you sometimes get as a game boots up… the one that warns of seizures, don’t play […]
Square Brothers is an environmental puzzle platformer published by Ratalaika Games for $5. With no timer, score, unlockables, leaderboards, or way to die, this puzzle game is simple and reminds me a bit of Lost Vikings. You control two pickle looking characters. One is tall, skinny, and can jump higher but cannot fit into tight […]
