A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Originally released on Xbox earlier this year, CarGo! is fun, comical party game about delivering packages from single screen landscapes. Most enjoyable when played in co-op, this isometric driving game has more in common with cooking games like Overcooked. Everything mentioned in my XSX CarGo! article stands true with this Playstation version except swap Achievements […]
Sweet Paws: Cozy Offices is another low-cost, easy-going, pleasant digital download by EastAsiaSoft. Using the analog stick as a mouse pointer, the goal is simple – click on all cats hidden throughout isometric environments. Even though the gameplay couldn’t be any more straightforward, there isn’t even any animation, it isn’t without some low-stress challenge. Each […]
Previously released on PS4, Switch, and Steam, Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World, a remake of the 1994 Mega Drive original, is now available on PS5, XSX, and PC via the MS Store. A kingdom is in peril, and it is up to you to free four spirits and defeat the invader. Sure, the troupes […]
Published by EastAsiaSoft, Tiny Pixels Vol. 2 Stormy Knights has nothing in common with the shooter gameplay of Tiny Pixels Vol.1 other than it is another low-cost digital download. Playing as knight rescuing princesses, it is your job to walk to the right and defeat every enemy you encounter in a one-on-one battle, like two […]
Released by ININ and Tozai Games, IREM Collection Volume 3 is their latest retro compilation composed of neglected shooters. Similar to IREM Collection Volume 1 and IREM Collection Volume 2, this third edition features quirky, forgotten arcade and console ports outfitted with the same quality emulation options and overall interface. The three included fantasy-based shmups […]
Published by Flynn’s Arcade, Flora & Fang: Guardians of the Vampire Garden is the latest new, retro-style arcade release from their enthusiastic library of digital downloads. This time, the inspiration comes from a mix of Donkey Kong 3 mixed slightly with Buster Bros. and Snow Bros. Perhaps the oddest part of this co-op action platformer […]
Published by Maximum Entertainment, 100 in 1 Game Collection is a mindless cash grab using a quantity-over-quality mentality. Most games are cheap, not fun knockoffs of other better, more popular games. I am guessing the target audience for this subpar compilation are ignorant parents trying to justify the assumed high value. Be warned. Nothing about […]
Published by EastAsiaSoft for $7, Exo-Calibre is a simple vertical shooter with a lighthearted tone. The 45-minute quest is pleasant, but the replay value is limited despite having local leaderboards and an unlockable boss rush mode. An AI is causing problems so three anime girls fly their space crafts a shoot down alien invaders. This […]
Megacat Studios and Playground Productions have ported Backyard Baseball ’97 to PS5 and Switch through reverse engineering as they didn’t have the original source code. While the passion to bring this 28-year-old game to modern platforms is impressive and pretty darn cool, I must beg the question – who asked for this? The Backyard Sports […]
Stunt Flyer, originally released in PAL regions for the Nintendo Wii, has been ported to the Switch and recently to Xbox Series consoles. Ultimate Games has now transitioned this wholesome digital playground to current Playstation systems and plays just like the other versions. Everything mentioned in my Switch and Xbox articles still hold true so […]
