A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Jaleco Sports: Goal! follows the same formula as Jaleco Sports: Bases Loaded only with two soccer games instead of two baseball titles. Just like the Bases Loaded compilation, I am happy and nostalgic that this bundling of old soccer games exists, but they don’t exactly hold up well today. All the same bells and whistles […]
Jaleco Sports: Bases Loaded revives two retro baseball simulators of yesteryear thanks to the efforts of Rock It Games. Bundling Bases Loaded (NES, 1988) and Super Bases Loaded (SNES, 1992), despite my nostalgia, I am glad to see these old games receive new life on modern consoles. Even though these are two titles that I […]
In my 20+ years writing about games I’ve been published digitally and in print, I’ve helped influence and launch countless titles, and had my quotes used for promotion… but I’ve never actually been credited in a game. Until now! AHRO is an experimental, indie game by OEH Interactive with deep lore and no combat. I’m […]
Published by RedDeer.Games and developed by Imphenzia, Unfair Rampage: Knightfall is a 2.5D run-and-gun(ish) action platformer with procedurally generated stages. It is also available on Steam. Instead of running through specifically designed stages in sequential order, the gimmick comes from replaying the same single stage that changes slightly each time. On top of that, the […]
Published by RedDeer.Games, Nuclear Gladiators 3000 is another survivors clone but this one is actually pretty good. Now available on Switch and Steam. There is a free demo on Switch too. The overall gameplay remains the same as most survivor titles: auto shoot endless waves of enemies (circle strafe is your friend), grab the currency/XP, […]
The latest retro-style release published by Flynn’s Arcade, Silver Bullet is another fun, low-cost arcade style experience on Switch. This time, gameplay takes the Wild Guns shooter formula and cuteifies it with a chibi-style visual presentation, smooth frame rate, and responsive controls. Playing as tiny pixelated Van Helsing, you need to reclaim your captured puppies […]
Ahro – Version 2.0 The Body & Spirit Update will be out Nov. 2025 on existing platforms (Switch, Steam)! Plus Ahro will be releasing on Linux (via Steam) and Atari VCS! In honor of the 1 year anniversary of the initial release of Ahro: Developer Oeh Interactive and well-established publisher of arthouse games Nakana.io are […]
From the colorful banner art and quick cutting gameplay trailer, Truck Driving seems like a fun, little haul-based racing game. However, looks can be deceiving as there is no racing, hauling, or fun involved in this short-burst truck driving tech demo of a “game”. Using only the triggers to accelerate/reverse with the analog stick to […]
Published by Ultimate Games, Mad Skills BMX 2 isn’t your typical racing game. Presented with simple-to-play-but-hard-to-master controls, this bike rider has more in common with ExciteBike’s boosting/tilting mechanic as opposed to the balancing/trick gameplay of Trials. Instead of focusing on accelerating, breaking, power-ups, turning, boosts, or even weapons, Mad Skills BMX 2 simplifies everything by […]
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 […]
