A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Albacete Warrior is an interesting game. It is a brawler but uses purposely designed chunky 2D pixelated sprites within large 3D environments. The opening stage introduces the player to main gameplay elements, but just when you start to sink your teeth into campaign, level 2 happens… What happens at the very beginning of the second […]
Reminiscent of classic Doom or Duke Nukem, Fashion Police Squad is a retro-style first person shooter that is loaded with humor, speed, and quality. This is a new, old shooter done right and provides a ton of fun. Instead of reducing your enemies to a pile of mush, the player instead attacks unfashionable NPCs to […]
I am super excited that Gameboy and Gameboy Color games are now available to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. In this stream, me and Gillman browse the launch title as well as the options while I provide some insight as to why I am happy these games are alive once again.
Mixing the vertical shooter mechanics of Space Invaders, complete with a slowly lowering stack of enemies (balloons in this case), and the Match-3 mechanics of many puzzle games, Yogi Bear: Great Balloon Blast is a quality hidden gem on Nintendo’s Gameboy Color. Even better, there are two multiplayer LINK CABLE modes: co-op and vs! Both […]
Not to be confused with the very similarly titled Wonder Boy Collection, the Wonder Boy Anniversary Collection features a more robust quantity of titles. The original collection contained four games: Wonder Boy, Wonder Boy in Monster Land, Wonder Boy in Monster World, and Monster World IV. Since these versions are also included in this compilation, […]
A 2D action roguelite built around the history of Gaulish Helvetii tribes and other Celtic myths, Helvetii is heavily focused around combat. Unfortunately, the button mashing gameplay never offers anything diverse, deep, or engaging. The hand drawn painted art style might look like a Vanillaware title but the similarities end there. The 2D gameplay looks […]
RedDeer’s nOS is an interesting and thoughtful idea by turning the Switch into a basic pocket organizer like a Palm Pilot from a couple decades ago. Although it doesn’t really do anything exceptionally well, it deserves some credit for being creative and trying something different. There are ultimately 6 apps within this digital download, all […]
A spicy space dodge’em up, Shuttlecock-H is the latest release by EastAsiaSoft to feature anime babes. Play well and be rewarded with naughty drawings of three stereotypical ladies. Instead of shooting your way through throngs of enemies like any vertical or horizontal shooter, the player is instead tasked with dodging all incoming fire while […]
A simple Sokoban game, Sissa’s Path is as easy going and casual as can be. It is approachable but the overall experience is empty and lacks replay value. There is no tutorial or “how to” screen but it isn’t needed. Using only the left analog stick, the player controls a cat on a small, grid-based […]
Released in early 2020, the original Motorcycle Mechanic Simulator has to be one of the worst games I have played this console generation. While this 2021 sequel is much more playable, it still lacks in entertainment value. Motorcycle Mechanic Simulator 2021 puts players in the role of a mechanic in charge of servicing street hogs. […]
