A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Love Thy Neighbor iHUGU, pronounced as I-Hug-You, is a game about, you guessed it, hugging. Even though it only costs a few bucks and attempts to spread a positive message, this Switch eShop title is essentially a cheap iPhone game that is cute for about forty-five seconds before growing stale and annoying difficult. Gameplay is […]
Stealthy Twin Stick Multiplayer Shooter If you took your favorite twin stick shooter and made it a competitive multiplayer experience with a slight Spy Vs Spy theme, you would get something like At Sundown: Shots in the Dark. While there can be some intense local and online multiplayer moments, single player gamers will want to […]
Tron Trials Also available on Switch and PC, FutureGrind is an arcade stunt platformer similar to Ubisoft’s Trials series but with a strong emphasis on matching colors. While not as technical as Trials, FutureGrind put a new, entertaining spin on the “do tricks to rack up a high score before you reach the end” gameplay. […]
Passion Filled Shut Eye Having trouble trying to sleep? Counting sheep but running out? Then perhaps you either know your Green Day lyrics or could benefit from Safety Blue Sleep Savior eyewear. Available in a couple different designs, these eyeglasses will make you understand how X-Men’s Cyclops views the world through his ruby red visor. […]
The Mana Game You Didn’t Know You Wanted Mana Spark is an action RPG that carries a high difficulty, especially when first starting the quest, but ultimately winds up being a highly rewarding and unexpected gameplay experience. Although “Mana” is in the title, it has nothing in common with fan-favorite Secret of Mana other than […]
Spoofing The Fighter Originally released on mobile and Steam, Super Hero Fight Club: Reloaded has now been ported to Switch with four-player support. This single screen 2D action one-hit kill arena fighter is short on options but can provide simple entertainment in short bursts if you have other local humans in which to play. Starting […]
Between Genres The result of a successful kickstarter campaign, Battle Princess Madelyn looks like the spiritual sequel to arcade and NES classic Ghosts N’ Goblins. Looks are deceiving, however, as this action platformer has some glaring flaws and ultimately cannot decide what type of game it wants to be. Ghost N’ Goblins and Ghouls N’ […]
Auto Run Jumper Koloro essentially mixes the auto-running and platforming of Super Mario Run with a simplified visual style to something like Limbo. Gameplay couldn’t be more simple as only a single button is used to jump, wall jump, and slide a cube to the exit of a single screen platform maze. There are all […]
Missing That One(der)Shot Originally released on Xbox One, PS4 and PC in 2016, Wondershot has now been ported to Nintendo Switch. The local couch multiplayer environment works well with the Switch hardware but ultimately results in a slightly more fleshed out Mario Party mini game. From a single screen top down view, up to four […]
Where Is the Game? The description of Hyperide: Vector Raid states this $3.99 Nintendo Switch eShop title has been inspired by classic River Raid and Tron. However, a more accurate description would be if this title sought inspiration from elements called annoyance, a waste of time, and not fun. Playing as a space ship flying […]
