This week, Gillman and I check out Cloud Cutter, a newly released shmup that features realistic graphics and a twisting camera perspective… that is, if you can make it that far. This game is super hard and we couldn’t even beat the first stage after numerous retries. Definitely not a bad game, just a difficult…
NeoGeo Pocket Color – SHOCK ‘n’ ROCK – does it work?
A 3rd party accessory by Nyko, the Shock ‘n’ Rock is a dohickey that attaches to the bottom of the Neogeo Pocket Color and adds rumble support, an extra battery, grips, and stereo speakers. Unfortunately, my Shock ‘n’ Rock did not want to work as my systems would not power on no matter what I…

Incredible Mandy (PS4) Review with stream
On a quest to recover lost memories, Incredible Mandy is an environmental puzzle platformer that mostly revolves around activating switches by blowing up swords like Bomberman’s bombs. Visually, there are moments of minimalistic beauty but the drawn out gameplay is slow paced and not for everyone. As you can see from my stream below, the…
Genesis (Gameboy) Review with stream
It is 2021 but the developers at 7FH worked with publisher Incube8 Games to release a brand new original Gameboy game. To be clear, we are talking an original pea-green screen Gameboy game here which is pretty cool. Genesis, not to be confused with Sega’s 16-bit home console, is the title of this new vertical…
Tony Hawk Motion is the only DS game to support the Motion Pak – see it here
Continuing my campaign of covering obscure (and sort of pointless) handheld accessories, please bear witness to the Nintendo DS Motion Pak. Only compatible with one game, Tony Hawk Motion, this accessory allows players to use gyro controls to control Tony as he stumbles through skate parks and snowhills. The DS, DS Lite, and DSi consoles…

Gamer’s Gullet – Pepsi Blue Review
Back in 2002, Pepsi released Pepsi Blue, a berry flavored cola building off the hype that was Crystal Pepsi. Pepsi Blue ended production in 2004 and finally made its return here in 2021. If you have been waiting approximately 17 years to get diabetes, now is your chance. My local Target did not carry this…
