A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
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 […]
Originally released in 1984 for early computers of the time, Boulder Dash is a series that has endured the test of time. In fact, Boulder Dash saw a 30th Anniversary compilation in 2020 and then a Deluxe Edition a year later. Boulder Dash 40th Anniversary is more or less an expansion pack of the Deluxe […]
Published by EastAsiaSoft, Faye Falling is an unconventional RPG. Although the maze-heavy puzzle solving and odd set pieces might not be for everyone, this is an adventure fans of Earthbound and Undertale might want to wishlist. Playing as a recently deceased soul without a memory, you are put in charge of stopping a growing darkness […]
Not to be confused with Arkanoid or single player Pong, Alien Breakout is a simple precision platformer about an alien making an escape from a science lab. If you played other EastAsiaSoft published platformers like Mechanita, HatUp, Cattie, Ghost Teen Escape from Limbo, Ratyrinth, and many others, Alien Breakout will feel familiar. Only this time, […]
Published by Studio Morgan, Morgan: Metal Detective is a cozy first person metal detecting adventure game without stress, penalty, or a way to lose. With a simple premise, charming art style, and casual gameplay, this is a wholesome romp that doesn’t overstay its 2-3 hour welcome. Playing as a teenage girl visiting her mom after […]
Published by EastAsiaSoft, Maiden Cops is an old school side-scrolling beat’em up reminiscent of classic brawlers such as Final Fight. Despite walking in one direction and punching repeating enemies, there is just enough depth to the combat to justify a couple of play throughs of this one-hour campaign. The main gimmick comes from the excellent […]
