This week, me and Gillman try out CounterAttack, a schmup with two gimmicks – there are over 500 parts to customized and there is online/local co-op. This is a simple, quick stream to demonstrate some gameplay.

Boss Rush: Mythology (XSX) Review with streamA 2-D fighting game, Boss Rush: Mythology pits you against numerous mythological creatures one at a time. Sort of like mini-Dark Souls, this marionette fighter is challenging, loose, yet slightly technical. You know how in the end of any retro Mega Man game the player is place into a hub screen and you enter a […]

Secret Agent: Cold War Espionage (XSX) Review with streamWhen I first started playing Secret Agent: Cold War Espionage, I got upset by the lack of direction, loose controls, and weird control scheme. Going in cold, the first couple stages can be frustrating until you understand what kind of game this low poly James Bond simulator actually is – a satirical take on a […]

Mangavania (XSX) Review with streamDespite what the name implies, Mangavania doesn’t have much Metroid in it. If anything, it might be more closely related to something like Ninja Gaiden since gameplay is divided into 20 individual stages. Gameplay is also simple as one button jumps and the other attacks. Granted, a few extra abilities like a double jump and […]

Arye and the Crystal Comet (XSX) Review with streamAlthough there is plenty of slow walking, Arye and the Crystal Comet isn’t a walking simulator – it is more of a flying simulator. There is no way to die but at least there are plenty of things to collect… if you can stomach the impossible control. A generic story is given to the player […]

Gematombe (XSX) Review with streamTaking the block breaking gameplay of classic Arkanoid and mixing it with the competitive matching mechanic of Bust-A-Move, Gematombe is a unique pick-up-and-play $15 downloadable title that is pleasantly surprising. Made by a small indie team and published by Ratalaika Games, this smashing take on block busting gameplay is simple, fun, but still has some […]

Dogfight: A Sausage Bomber Story (XSX) Review with streamDon’t be distracted by the goofy name, Dogfight: A Sausage Bomber Story is a pleasant horizontal shooter that features 4 player local co-op in a world that references different types of food as a point of humor. From a fluid cartoony presentation, this shmup offers some straight-forward classic shooter gameplay. One button shoots, another launches […]
