A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
A horizontal shooter published by EastAsiaSoft for $9.99, Söldner-X: Himmelsstürmer is a shmup with a serious name. When it comes to the threat of human extinction by aliens attacking, why does the fate of the world always come down to a lone rogue mercenary? Why isn’t there a team of highly skilled warriors ready to […]
Notice Me Leena – senpai! is a low-cost tower defense title that has a lot in common with Plants Vs Zombies. Since the tower types are almost identical, the main difference between Popcap’s cult hit and this EastAsiaSoft published release mostly comes from the contrasting visual style and odd narrative. The narrative is entirely unnecessary […]
Originally released in 2002 as an indie game before indie games, horizontal shooter Platypus gets a full remake as Platypus: Reclayed. Its main gimmick obviously comes from the clay, stop-motion visuals, but thankfully it has been outfitted with fun, thoughtful shooter mechanics especially in local co-op. Remade with widescreen, 4k support, there is no denying […]
Hot Stakes Casino – American Roulette is a simple but confounding roulette simulator. There isn’t much to it, and the game already assumes you know how to play, so the fun factor is just as limited as the replay value. Without tutorial, instruction, or any sort of guidance, the player is immediately thrown into the […]
The King of Ping Pong: MEGAMIX is basically the Punch-Out!! of table tennis. It is essentially a personality-filled fighting game designed around the player’s reaction time as opposed to being a ping pong simulator; this is no Rockstar Table Tennis. The steep difficulty will probably discourage some players but there is no denying the creative […]
From the colorful banner art and quick cutting gameplay trailer, Truck Driving seems like a fun, little haul-based racing game. However, looks can be deceiving as there is no racing, hauling, or fun involved in this short-burst truck driving tech demo of a “game”. Using only the triggers to accelerate/reverse with the analog stick to […]
By watching the trailer, it might be assumed that Overpowered 1 – Mars Infestation is another survivors clone, but this is not the case. Instead, this is an arena twin-stick shooter sort of like Smash TV but with a minor twist. Playing as a lone space marine, apparently you need to clear a path of […]
Don’t feel bad if you never heard of Space Adventure Cobra. It was an early 80s anime that barely ran for 30 episodes, and for some reason French publisher Microids and developer Magic Pockets decided 2025 was the right time to release a game about an obscurely forgotten Japan cartoon. This game tie-in essentially recreates […]
Originally released on Switch just over a year ago, Diamond Hands: To The Moon is a tough as nails precision platformer that is only enjoyed by those that like punishment. Essentially everything I said in my Switch review of Diamond Hands holds true here – link. As a quick comparison, if you ever played Jump […]
Published by Ultimate Games, Mad Skills BMX 2 isn’t your typical racing game. Presented with simple-to-play-but-hard-to-master controls, this bike rider has more in common with ExciteBike’s boosting/tilting mechanic as opposed to the balancing/trick gameplay of Trials. Instead of focusing on accelerating, breaking, power-ups, turning, boosts, or even weapons, Mad Skills BMX 2 simplifies everything by […]
