A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Cat Scratch Fever – With a high challenge, lack of tutorial and constant requirement for perfect playthroughs, Scram Kitty and His Buddy on Rails is not for everybody. You know you are in for something special when it takes hours of trial-and-error just to complete the first few opening “learning” stages of this deceptively devious […]
One Small Episode for Man. One Giant Leap for Renegade Kid. – Hero indie developer Renegade Kid has made a name for themselves over the last several years by releasing memorable titles such as Dementium, Moon, Mutant Mudds, and Bomb Monkey. Moon, an impressive-for-its-time technical FPS marvel on the original DS, is now being revisited […]
Classically Brutal With A Visual Twist – Originally released on XBLA back in 2009 by Tozai, this 2-in-1 classic compilation has snuck its way onto Sony’s digital PSN platform. Combining both coin-op classics R-Type and R-Type II, Dimensions is basically a lesson in how much you suck at old school shooters. Like Halo Anniversary, one […]
Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy – With a gentle tone and a slower paced platforming experience, Yoshi’s New Island might harken back to the original SNES adventure but uninspired level design, a forgettable soundtrack, and tedious motion control shortchange this cult following favorite. Just like the original SNES game, a bundle of different colored Yoshis are […]
Stage 7 is the shortest stage in Metal Gear Solid for Gameboy Color. After taking out Owl, Snake travels north through a decoy computer switch puzzle, picks up a mine detector and works his way to a mine field. Unfortunately, Viper is waiting for him in a helicopter at the north end of the field […]
Can You Hear Me Now? – The main gimmick behind Das Keyboard is the clicky, tactile response with each individual keystroke. Until you type on it yourself, there really is no way to accurately describe how this keyboard is different from other models on the market. Here is a video I made over a year […]
Can This Elastic Fishing Rod Platformer Hook You? Originally released on the Super Famicom in 1994 as the Umihara Kawase series, Yumi’s Odd Odyssey stays true to its name as there really is nothing normal about this 3DS eShop downloadable title. Starring a 20 year old anime girl, the goal is to reach Point A […]
Best Baseball Game Ever! (This review was originally posted back in early 2005. But now that R.B.I. Baseball ’14 is about to launch, I thought I would repost this review.) Here’s the thing: I have never really liked sports video games. My philosophy is that if I’m going to participate in a sport, I will […]
Stand and Protect – The biggest gimmick behind the Wii U is the tablet-like Gamepad. This special controller is responsible for the majority of the cost of a Wii U so it only makes sense to want to project it. In fact, Nintendo does not even offer replacement/extra Gamepads at retail so keeping this unique […]
Herding Cats – Skater Cat is not your typical runner. Running into walls, falling on spikes, and even getting hit by enemies does not cause an instant one-hit kill Game Over; the only way to really die is to fall down a hole which causes a full restart. Play control is very easy: the Circle […]
