A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Super XYX, published by EastAsiaSoft, is a ridiculous, fluidly fast vertical eye-scorcher of a shooter. This ten-dollar action-heavy download is impressive for two main reasons. First, its visual fidelity never gets old and remains consistently awesome throughout. Secondly, with just a little practice, you’ll be thinking to yourself “how I am still alive” with so […]
Released a year ago on PC, multiplayer online shooter Starship Troopers: Extermination is now available on consoles. It is interesting because players will be hunting multiple types of bugs in this licensed offshoot. It doesn’t take much to see this was designed as a PC game shoehorned into a console experience. Using the analog stick […]
There is a secret mini game hidden within The King of Fighters: Battle de Paradise for the Neogeo Pocket Color. When inserted into a non-Color handheld, Yosaku Game becomes playable, which is actually a sequel to a forgotten SNK arcade game from 1979… which happens to be based on a popular song at the time… […]
Published by EastAsiaSoft, Purpose 1951 is the exact definition of a “walking simulator.” Without combat, interactivity, or a way to lose, the player simply uses the left stick to move at one slow unchangeable pace and the right stick to adjust viewing angle. Unfortunately, the uneventful, one-note experience leaves much to be desired. Apparently, this […]
The Smurfs: Dreams, by Ocellus Studio and Microids, is a surprisingly enjoyable, highly competent, licensed platformer about tiny poisoned, topless blue creatures who live in the forest. Strangely, there is no movie or cartoon marketing tie-in. Stranger yet, does anyone even care or know about the Smurfs, especially in late 2024? But do not let […]
The US saw the release of 16 official Gameboy cartridges to feature the built-in Rumble Pak. Japan featured 7 exclusive Gameboy Rumble Pak games. The majority of them being pinball and fishing games. Powered by a single AAA battery and sporting a removable battery cover (which always seemed to get lost), these unique games are […]
Rogue Sentry is not a rogue, roguelite, or roguelike. No, the name is a literal description of the playable protagonist, a robot sentry that has gone rogue. Gameplay is a twin-stick Metroidvania, outfitted with PlayDate-like 1-bit visuals that are letterboxed within the widescreen. Two quickly summarize, it is a wonderful and highly entertaining three-hour romp. […]
The Gamecube version of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) and be linked with the Gameboy Advance in two ways. First, by connecting an empty GBA, 2 mini game games can be downloaded: a Bewjeweled clone and a Mode-7 flying racer. The other linking feature requires the GBA cartridge version of Harry Potter […]
Created by Deck13, the same team that released Crosscode and Chained Echoes, have released Drova, a 6-year passion project, to modern consoles and PC. To summarize, Drova is an atmospheric open-world action RPG set in a brutally dark Celtic, magic-filled world. It doesn’t take much to see this is a role-playing game made by enthusiastic […]
Ratalaika Games and Shinyuden recently re-released Aero the Acrobat and Aero the Acrobat 2 on modern platformers. Rounding out this obscure trilogy is the re-release of Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel who was an antagonist in the Aero titles. However, playing as the bad guy results in the most polished and playable of the three titles. […]
