A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Simplifying Zelda – With a new spin on the classic Zelda formula, Fairune is a retro action adventure that simplifies everything and is surprisingly well done. Fairune takes the combat and RPG leveling mechanics of the vastly overlooked and superbly addicting Witch And Hero, another Circle Entertainment game, but puts them into a Zelda-like overhead […]
Lost In Space – With a minimalistic approach, Renegade Kid’s Metroid-inspired Xeodrifter captures the soul of exploration with simple but charming gameplay. Outside of the short opening “oh no, my spaceship hit an asteroid” cutscene, there is no story to speak of, no menus to work through, and no button schemes to toggle. Just like […]
This week, me and Gillman play through some of Xeodrifter, Renegade Kid’s 8-bit love letter to Metroid. Gillman is sick with a cold and tries not to die on the stream too.
The following list of tracks will be available as DLC for SquareEnix’s latest 3DS music based game Theatrhythm Curtain Call IN JAPAN ONLY. American gamers will just have to sit tight if these tunes will be ported Stateside. Personally, we think Chrono Trigger and SoM are worthy enough to have their own Theatrhythm game but […]

If you bought a Wii U Deluxe Set, the console with 32GB of storage space (not the white 8GB version), then you are eligible to get some eShop credit back with Nintendo if you bought digital content from the Wii U eShop via this Deluxe Digital Promo (DDP) program. Nintendo has not really marketed this […]
The Legend of Zelda: Adventure Time – This is not the first time the Adventure Time series has ripped off The Legend of Zelda. 2012’s Hey Ice King! Why’d You Steal Our Garbage was basically Zelda II: The Adventure of Link with an Adventure Time coat of paint. Now, Secret of the Nameless Kingdom is […]
Castle Siege – As a follow up to Castle Conqueror EX, Castle Conqueror Defender is a completely different type of game and retains Circle Entertainment’s impressive streak of creating low cost but highly entertaining eShop games. CCD is a tower defense title but is presented in a way that makes it unique. The right side […]
Brick By Brick – Now over 30 years old, Tetris is still fun to play today. Tetris Party, an exclusive WiiWare downloadable title released in 2008, and its boxed retail alternative Tetris Party Deluxe (Wii and DS) were the best Tetris titles in years, outfitted with tons of new game types, multiplayer options, and online […]
