A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
A very simple platformer made by a small team, Castle of the Pixel Skulls is a retro throwback that controls well, is pick-up-and-playable by anyone, but there isn’t much meat on this skeleton’s bones. Using only the analog stick and a single button to jump, there is no gimmick with this basic 2D platformer. There […]
Originally debuting in 2007, Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space Remastered has been upgraded over the original. This 5 chapter batch of episodic content has been enhanced with updated visuals, re-encoded audio, better lighting and more. Here in our short play, we simply wanted to demonstrate the gameplay and briefly talk about the series […]

From the same team that ported Greylancer to modern consoles, Gynoug is another Sega Mega Drive exclusive now made accessible to American players for the first time. Much like Greylancer, this is an entertaining shooter, especially for fans of the genre and that never played the original, but the lacking quality of life features are […]
Circa Infinity deserves a ton of credit for providing a new approach to the platforming genre. Instead of running to the right to reach the goal, players jump to the next stage from within a circling pinwheel, hence the “infinity” portion of the title. Although interesting, the challenge is not for the faint of heart. […]
Konami’s handheld Gameboy Advance version of Silent Scope has a decent but short lived Single-Pak link offering. Instead of murdering bad guys, you instead murder balloons using one copy of the game for up to four players. This video is an overview of this extra mode.
The Last Stand: Aftermath is the latest roguelike game to hit digital marketplaces but has a few differences that separate it from the other dozen rogue titles released this week. (It seems every game is a rogue these days.) First difference is the isometric perspective with 3D models. Unfortunately, the bland browns and grays provide […]
This week, Gillman and I play a bit of FiberTales: DummyKart, a Mario Kart-type racer that has a Yoshi’s Woolly World visual theme and objective based races. It is a little different because each competition isn’t necessarily a race to the finish. Also, it only costs $5. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1717160/FiberTales_DummyKart/
Okinawa Rush is easily the most insane game I have played in a long time. The old school pixel art caught my eye when I watched the initial trailer but I had no clue how visceral, frantic, and absolutely mental this game is. Even during my first stream, embedded below, I was super confused by […]
F-Zero Maximum Velocity was one of the handful of Gameboy Advance games that launched with the system in 2001. For the time, it was a quality racer and was one of the first games to feature a Single-Pak link mode for up to four players playing from one copy of the game. This video demonstrates […]
