A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Originally released in PAL regions on Wii, Ultimate Games recently published Stunt Flyer on Switch. There, I praised the game for its casual gameplay, wholesome approach, and zero pressure presentation. You can read my Switch REVIEW of Stunt Flyer here. Thankfully, Stunt Flyer has now been ported to Xbox consoles. In short, it is the […]
Mario Tennis and Mario Golf on N64 and Gameboy Color were developed by Camelot. This forward thinking developer included Transfer Pak functionality in these sports titles but Mario Golf has one unfortunate downside of connecting the console version to the handheld version, one misstep that was corrected with Mario Tennis. Mario Golf was the first […]
Clearly inspired by retro first-person shooters of the late 90s and early 2000s, specifically Half Life, Kvark is a new, old game purposely designed with quality, lower-res visuals and janky polygons. It looks like an old game and, for the most part, plays like an old game for better and worse. It doesn’t do anything […]
Developed by a small team and published by EastAsiaSoft, Starlight Legacy is a cozy, nothing fancy, relatively straightforward 16-bit style RPG. This old-school 10-hour campaign doesn’t always hit high notes, but it is a quality option for busy adults who enjoy RPGs but rarely have the time to play them. To its credit, it is […]
Created by a small development team, Copycat is an interactive narrative designed to pull at your heart strings. Told through the eyes of an adopted cat, the plot takes center stage as it discusses the heart breaking topics of abandonment, loss, and how you can only really rely on yourself. It is about the length […]
Mickey’s Speedway USA (N64) is Transfer Pak compatible with the Gameboy Color version of the same name. When the GBC cart is inserted into the TP, Huey becomes a playable racer. However, it took a few attempts to get this feature to work. If it doesn’t work for you, keep resetting until it finally takes. […]
Knight’s Night is the latest $5 platformer published by EastAsiaSoft. The gimmick this time comes from the 1-bit visual presentation, small sprites, and loads of spikes. It isn’t a reflex-based, tough-as-nails, platformer but that doesn’t mean it is without challenge. Playing as a tiny knight sprite, it is your job to reach the end of […]
Undivine is a dark, 2D Metroidvania by indie dev Brainium Games, makers of Aidan in Danger and Beef Cat Ultra. Despite a few minor blemishes, this is a ten-dollar digital download that offers plenty of value and checks all the boxes for what you would expect an exploratory action RPG to be. Playing as some […]
Published by EastAsiaSoft for five bucks, Super Engine GT Turbo SPEC is a simple top-down racing game that is nothing more than occasionally flicking the analog stick left and right while fighting the loose controls and questionable AI. This single-player digital download doesn’t have any features, or even a gimmick, making it unfortunately forgettable. Using […]
Shantae Advance: RIsky Revolution was originally targeting a mid-2000s release but was sadly canceled during development. However, thanks to the efforts of the original developer, Wayforward, and Limited Run Games, Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution was completed and released on a physical cartridge. A digital version will also be released on current gen consoles. As if […]
