A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
8-Bit Legit, partners with Mega Cat Studios and Retrotainment Games, have released Project Blue, a new NES title now fully playable on Xbox, Switch and on a physical NES cartridge. Developed entirely by two people, this retro platformer is impressive just as it is fun. If you played Battle Kid, you’ll have an idea of […]
A brawler designed around humor featuring two satirical stooges, Slaps & Beans 2 is a simple, nonsensical co-op romp that offers straightforward, albeit repetitive, fun if you fumble your way around all the game breaking glitches. Nothing about the story makes any sense so there is no point in trying to explain it. Just know […]
Released less than a year ago, Ratalaika Games surprisingly re-released Cyber Citizen Shockman onto modern platforms, a forgotten PC Engine action platformer with an insanely high difficulty factor. Now its sequel has also been ported to modern consoles, outfitted with the same thoughtful quality of life features. Fully acknowledging the first title’s original steep difficulty […]
A frenzied, action-packed party brawer that supports four simultaneous players, Sacrifice Your Friends could provide a nice distraction from Mario Party game nights. Just keep in mind, even though there is a solo option, you pretty much are required to play with a few friends if you want to have any kind of fun or […]
A twin-stick action roguelike with bullethell properties, Mystic Gate is a decent game if you are not exhausted of the entirely overused rogue genre.

Containing the same visual style and gameplay of EastAsiaSoft’s ThunderKid series, Escape from Terror City is a 3rd person gallery shooter. The purposely designed low-poly look provides a retro feel. This low-cost digital download doesn’t just look like a old game, it plays like one too specifically when it comes to the difficulty. The first […]
Digital Eclipse enjoys out doing themselves. They have been re-releasing classic games for decades, recently released the TMNT: Cowabunga Collection, put together the outstanding Atari 50, and have brought new life to retro games with the Disney’s Afternoon Collection/Classics Collection, to just name a few. Then, they go ahead and release the Making of Karateka, […]
A vertical shooter with a leveling upgrade system, Astro Flame: Starfighter is a Sometimes You published $10 digital download. The gimmick of this shmup comes from the upgrading system. Each defeated enemy drops material that can be collected and then spent to unlock and upgrade numerous ship parts. Besides making the basic firepower cause more […]
Fluffy Milo is an EastAsiaSoft published block pushing puzzle game that cost $4.99. It is a simple Sokobon clone that can be finished in thirty minutes, has easy Achievements, and plays just like Sissa’s Path, another EastAsiaSoft digital download featuring a cat pushing things that was released earlier this year. While it has slightly higher […]
Originally released on PC last year, Running Fable has been ported to Xbox and Switch with crossplay support. It is an offline/online multiplayer cartoony racer that sort of puts the classic kart racing formula in reverse. While it is an interesting approach to the kart genre, horrible quality of life features drastically holds back the […]
