A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Standing out thanks to its original Gameboy visual charm, Awesome Pea 2 is a simple platformer that offers moments of challenge, only costs a few bucks, and is perfect for Achievement hunters. It isn’t as difficult as something like Super Meatboy or those brutal levels in Super Mario Maker, but this reach-the-exit platformer is playable […]
In your favorite anime, you know when two characters charge up with bright flashing lights, then fly at each other at super speeds, then fight with the force of planets behind them, often leaving a trail of debris in their wake? Fly Punch Boom! is a fighting game that let’s players carry out these over-the-top […]
Aqua Lungers is essentially a merger of Nintendo’s Game & Watch Octopus handheld game and Mario Bros. (not be confused with Super Mario Bros. aka Mario 1). It is an interesting mix of co-op competitive play and controls very well. Taking control of a deep sea diver, the goal is to swim to the bottom […]
Spirit of the North is a minimalistic adventure game designed in the shadow of titles like Journey, where the focus is placed on visual story telling through navigating a vast, whimsical landscape without dialog, a hud, or enemies to kill. Sadly, this title misses pretty much every mark on what it sets out to do. […]
With aspirations to be the next popular couch co-op party game, Cannibal Cuisine is a humorous arcade cooking sim that mixes light hack’n slash gameplay with ingredients collecting. The theme of killing average tourists and cooking their meat in a cartoony way provides a light hearted tone but the gameplay is everything except fun. There […]
SNK Gals’ Fighters digital release on Nintendo Switch is a big deal for two reasons. First, this is the first time a Neo Geo Pocket Color title has been commercially made available since the original handheld release (King of Fighters was a pre-order bonus for Switch Samurai Showdown purchasers but that game is not available […]
Robot Squad Simulator X is basically same game as the Switch version of Robot Squad Simulator only without the “X” after it. I am guessing the X is there because it is now on Xbox One..? Or perhaps it wants to be naughtier? Not sure. If there is one thing this bomb defusing sim gets […]
As if playing a painting, Potata: fairy flower is a puzzle platformer that is filled with visual personality. Although the game has a distinct look, the puzzles are dastardly, the obstacles repeat, and the overall lack of direction is frustrating. Taking control of a young witch trying to find ingredients to heal her sick pet […]
With a The Truman Show-like narrative (only much more deadly) and Prince of Persia-ish 2D platforming and puzzle solving, Ministry of Broadcast offers a refreshing approach to side-scrollers. Every moment is interesting and the dark humor is easily one of the stand out features of this sleeper hit on the Switch eShop. Think Smash T.V.’s […]
The official press release for Jet Lancer features this quote, “Jet Lancer is a frenetic aerial combat game with pixel-perfect dog-fighting, giant robot shooting, and a pulsing soundtrack that’ll put you square in the Danger Zone.” After spending a considerable amount of time with this 2D aerial fighter, I couldn’t agree more. Jet Lancer is […]
