A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Remember that TV show called Hole-In-The-Wall where contestants had to pose in awkward positions to fit through a hole in a moving wall? Hed The Pig is essentially this game show only with a 2D pig flying through a tunnel trying to avoid walls, on-rails Star Fox-style. Weird for the sake of weird, nothing really […]
Ziggy The Chaser is exactly Pacman gameplay only with a generic elephant as the protagonist. Instead of a top-down 2D perspective, the 3D environment is actually difficult to navigate due to a camera angle that is too close and movement that isn’t tile based. It is easy to walk right by one of the collectable […]
A retro-style run-and-gun platformer, Golden Force thickly layers an old school vibe. The eye-catching pixel art is vividly colored and well animated while the steep challenge will have you screaming obscenities at your screen. Be warned, this downloadable title isn’t for those that give up easily. Playing as one of four characters, the player is […]
Four in the Row is Connect-4, the popular board game everyone has played, but with a twist. Instead of only having the ability to drop pieces from the top of the board, the player can drop pieces from any side. The goal is still to connect four pieces in a row but being able to […]
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link is easily the most controversial game in the series (no, not counting the CD-I games). Whether you love or hate the side scrolling, action-based combat and steep difficulty, there is no denying this sequel has some of the best music in the entire series. Personally, I think the opening […]
Microsoft announced the following Xbox games will be free for Xbox Live Gold and Ultimate members during February 2021. Note, there are five total games this month instead of the normal four. Gears 5 ($39.99): Available February 1 to 28 Resident Evil ($19.99): Available February 1 to 28 Dandara: Trials of Fear Edition ($14.99): Available […]
Ghostanoid is an Arkanoid/Breakout clone with a ghost busting twist. Instead of clearing the screen of every brick, the goal is to hit each ghost enough times to make them disappear. Buff and debuffs are almost constantly thrown at the player and each ghost behaves a little differently. The builder ghost, for example, will replace […]
Originally released on Xbox One in late 2019, Ping Redux is Break-Out/Arkanoid clone but turned into a puzzle solving game. This Switch version is essentially the same game as the Xbox One version we covered but outfitted with the Switch’s HD rumble feature. Ping Redux isn’t about knocking all the bricks on a stage. Instead, […]
Originally released on Switch a couple years ago, Jet Kave Adventure is now available on Microsoft’s home console. Upon first glance, it might be easy to make the assumption this is a generic 90s 2.5D mascot platformer. Well, you would be right but gameplay is actually a lot better than expected. You play as a […]
Released in early 2019, Warplanes: WW2 Dogfight was a pleasantly unexpected aerial fighter published by 7Levels and developed by Home Net Games. Warplanes: WWI Sky Aces is the sequel to this under appreciated eShop title and basically acts like DLC as opposed to a whole new game, for better or worse. Instead of flying WW2 […]
