A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Low Price Point, Low Features If you are looking for a low cost headset that still has some quality, the HyperX Cloud Stinger can fit that bill. Sold for $50, the Cloud Stinger is a lower cost alternative than its older brother, the HyperX CloudX headset. But with lower cost means compromising on additional bells […]
Bursting Your Bubble Pirate Pop Plus is a poor man’s Buster Bros. only with an original pea green Gameboy visual style. If you are unfamiliar with Buster Bros., or the Pang series as it is known overseas, you play as a character trapped in a single screen, shooting arrows upward to pop bubbles. Once a […]
An Accessible Rougelike Even though Quest of Dungeons has a generic title, lacking soundtrack, and limited graphical palette, this “enemies move when you move” tile-based Rougelike had me addicted from beginning to end thanks to the accessible gameplay mechanics, a lenient difficulty factor, and the constant quest for better loot. Quest of Dungeons looks and […]
Not What You Wanted But Not Bad The last 2D Metroid was the Gameboy Advance’s Metroid Zero Mission back in early 2004. Although the 3D Metroid Prime series was well received during the GC and Wii era, along with several Virtual Console re-releases, fans have been frothing at the mouth for a new 2D Metroid. […]
Retro Done Right River City Ransom and Super Dodge Ball are a couple of my favorite NES games. While America received some Dodge Ball sequels and other Kunio-Kun spin-offs, we never got a true sequel to River City. Now, over 25 years later, Natsume, in partnership with Arc System Works and Million, has released River […]
Falling Into Place Tetris. Most people have probably played this game at some point in their life. Whether it was on an internet connected PC, a pea-green colored handheld system, a graphing calculator, an illegal version on an 8-bit system, the side of a building, or even on a t-shirt, Tetris is a phenomenon known […]
They Are Brown, Not Orange The idea of mixing artificial salty snacks with artificial fast food is nothing new. Taco Bell has been doing it for years with their Doritos Locos taco and has even been sneaking Fritos in their burritos lately. Burger King has jumped on this bandwagon to compete with these other unhealthy […]
Tactile Slime Zombification Ever since Dragon Quest, it is difficult to find any RPG without a slime in it. However, rarely do these jellies actually take the center stage by becoming the playable character. Ambition of the Slimes is unique because of its zombie-takeover gameplay mechanic, a charming Atari 2600 visual style, its pressing difficulty, […]
Now With Backlighting The new Das Keyboard Prime 13 model looks, functions, and performs very similarly to previous Das Keyboard models. The biggest difference with the Prime 13 model is white LED backlighting but is still a dream come true for typists. If you have not seen, or more importantly heard/felt, a Das Keyboard before, […]
Tiny But Unreliable The Penclic Mini Keyboard K2 is seeking an opportunity in the highly competitive computer accessory market by going in the opposite direction from most keyboard manufactures. Instead of focusing on enhanced features, making you a better gamer, or even focusing on your typing skills, Penclic is taking a step back by going […]
