A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
A point-and-click environmental puzzling solving adventure game, Papetura is a quality digital download. An emotional game, one built around curiosity and creativity, this hand-crafted title took a better part of a decade to complete by a solo developer. This is a labor of love and it clearly shows. Playing as a crinkled piece of paper […]
A single player arena shooter with a monster/zombie theme, Succubus with Guns has an initially intriguing theme but ultimately suffers from repetition and jank. The main playable character is also a mock Lara Croft clone but with horns. On paper, the solo Horde mode gameplay sounds like your average 3rd person “stay alive until […]
Tetris Worlds is a strange GBA game and shouldn’t be confused with the corresponding console versions with the same name. The American version (GBA) only has Multi-Pak link mode whereas the European release supports both Single-Pak and Multi-Pak link. Unfortunately, the overall Tetris experience is compromised quite a bit when playing head-to-head in the multiboot […]
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 […]
Independent game publisher The Retro Room Games is launching Airball on NES and Game Boy Advance today for $49.99. Airball was released for the Dragon 32/64 and TRS-80 Color Computer in 1987. It was programmed by Ed Scio, with graphics by Pete Lyon and music by Paul Shields. In Airball, you will be turned into […]
Originally released on Switch earlier this year, Grapple Dog has now been ported to Xbox. For comparison, it is the same game as the Switch version only the Xbox version seems to run at a higher resolution and of course has Achievements. See my article on the Switch version here. In summary, Grapple Dog is […]
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 […]
