A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Originally released as a physical homebrew Dreamcast release, Intrepid Izzy is a retro throwback that is one-part open world exploration and one-part simplistic brawler. For better and worse, the distinct retro feel of this 5-6 hour adventure is a callback to simpler times. Although there are outfits to collect which grants the player additional abilities […]
An over-the-top ridiculous action game, Bot Gaiden mixes the run-and-gun action of Contra, the robot theme and boss battles of Mega Man X, with the speed and slashing of Strider. Then, toss in the lose-the-power-up-when-you-take-damage mechanic of Blaster Master and you’ll have an idea of Bot Gaiden. Even though gameplay mixes elements from the games […]

Motocross Maniacs Advance is a Konami sequel to the Gameboy original and it features a Single-Pak link multiplayer mode for four players. There are three game modes available but all of them are not fun and it actually takes longer to load the game than it does to play them. Thanks for the watching!
A simple platforming auto-runner, Super Chicken Jumper has a surprising amount of depth given the small dev team, the low budget friendly price, and ridiculous title. This is easily one of the better runners I have played in recent memory. Nothing is taken seriously and the overall experience is better for it. It turns out […]
This week, me and Gillman play some of the latest Horizon game because Gillman was able to track down a PS5 so we had to test it out. This was an early stage in the game so there wasn’t much combat at this point but we talk about current gaming news and updates. Thanks for […]
Ask anyone who has been alive from 2020-2022 and they will tell you how difficult these last few years have been. However, no matter how bad things have been recently it has nothing on 1693. Filled with gore, monsters, and all sorts of demonic creatures, I very much prefer to live in these modern times […]

Did you ever use the GC-to-GBA link cable?Did you know both WarioWorld and WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$! on the GameCube had this feature?Would you ever use the […]
