I've talked before about how many sequels during the NES period are met with some polarizing feedback when it comes to giving them a retrospective. Games like Zelda 2 The Adventure of Link, which I have reviewed here before, and I feel it's a way better game than given credit. The Doki Doki Panic reskinned Super Mario Bros 2 is the black sheep of the…

Arcade racing simulators are straightforward, yet incredibly addictive. Hang-On was one of the first of its kind. Originally released in arcades in 1985, the Master System port of Hang-On followed shortly thereafter and is a pretty well done conversion. The Master System was a retro console I've waited a long time to get my hands on, and one of the…

Final Fight on SNES is a spirited effort for a home port. Provided you've never played the arcade version, you'd might even say that this is adequate to mess around in. But this a port that aged very quickly during the age of arcade brawlers, especially when many of them saw 16-bit home versions that were done significantly better.…

CD Projekt Red's RPG masterpiece Witcher 3: Wild Hunt just recently turned 5 years old. To celebrate, CD Projekt Red's GoG department is giving away a copy of Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for free.

I want to start things off…

With everything currently going on in the world, it's nice to see video game companies step up. Ubisoft has committed to donating $100,00 to Black Live Matters organizations. Square Enix will be donating $250,00, and Niantic has shattered all of that with their pledge of a minimum $5 million. A lot of the other bigger ones, not so much. A lot of…

With the covid-19 pandemic still in full force across the world. E3 has been now reduced to an online only event. If things were different, E3 would have started today. But alas,  this is the world we know live in. 

There is some good news to look forward too. 

Developer Atlus - you know the guys who make the Persona series - has…

The Gameboy was a cool handheld, and a testament to Nintendo's marketing. Imagine convincing gamers to veer away from the Atari Lynx and the Sega Game Gear, two handhelds that are significantly more impressive when it comes to specs than the Boy's spinach and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Pie shade of green screen. Well, that and Nintendo's contractual…

We haven't had a really good "metroidvania" style game released in a long time. Yeah, the newest Shantae game - Shantae and the Seven Sirens -  just came out, and it's amazing if you haven't played it yet. But there hasn't been a "wow... I need to play this game" type of indie game that has come out in a long time. 

It's been two years since Koji Igarashi's Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night was released. Which shattered Kickstarter records and despite its flaws at…
