It's fighting game month on Retro Reboot. And why not kick the theme off with a little bit of head-to-head, ultra violent action with a Retro Reboot Vs? Which of these two 16-bit titans of tournament fighting were the better game? Mortal Kombat II or Killer Instinct? 

For Retro Reboot Vs, what I aim to do is compare similar traits each game…

20th Century Fox has dropped a new trailer for their Super Hero\thriller movie "The New Mutants" and it doesn't look all that bad to be honest. 

The once TV series turned movie turned TV series and then back into a movie was in development hell for awhile. Originally pitched as a trilogy of movies suffered a lot of post production issues. Then…

Speculation continues to permeate the video game news circles regarding the upcoming new hardware. These are always to be taken with a grain of salt, but the latest are details concerning potential designs of the PlayStation 5's Dualshock controller. The overall design based on the images available show that it very closely resembles the DS4's base…

A part of why I felt compelled to take a retrospective on a game like Soldiers of Fortune is because 2019 was a year where for whatever reason the "PC vs console" arguments were at a fever pitch. The myth being PC players are mean elitists who look down on everything console related. What gets lost in a lot of that jargon is back when MS-DOS…

I'm legitimately surprised this has the temerity to exist. Knockoff consoles are far from a new concept, there are many hackneyed ROM-based consoles over the years (the SouljaGame was only last year, 2018, imagine that) that can act as a cheap alternative to buying a video game console. In other countries, a Playstation 4 can run for $1,845 US…

Kingdom Hearts 3 was released in January of this year for the PS4 and X1. Almost a year later we will be getting the Re:Mind DLC that is going to continue the story of Sora. In it, Sora is on the search for his childhood friend - Kairi. It will also hail the return of some of the much loved - and very missed - Final Fantasy…

In a press release, released earlier today, Yuji Horii announced that Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age has surpassed 5.5 million units. That's huge for a title that has never really seen success with western audiences. Just a note, these sales numbers are for every version released and do include physical and digital sales. It also…

Capcom has one of the richest libraries of beloved and critically acclaimed franchises. Suffice to say, many of them have been dormant for a frighteningly long period of time. Dino Crisis hasn't seen a new entry since 2003 on Xbox. The last canonical Darkstalkers game was Vampire Savior: Lord of the Vampires in 1997. And barring the PSP…

You know what’s really amusing? More often than not, if you take a television show or a movie and transform it into a video game, you’ll wind up with crap or sub mediocre, forgettable tripe. But if you take a mascot of a snack food or soft drink conglomerate and center a platform game around said character, chances are you get a pretty good game. I…

QubicGames has quite a deal in store for both their 15 years of producing games AND conveniently for the holiday season. If you're a Switch owner, this looks like a banger of a deal. So as long as you own any title by CubicGames before December 15th, you can qualify for 10 free games that you can download from the Nintendo eShop:

Probably one of my most questioned takes is my opinion regarding Battletoads. My retro card gets regularly revoked because I don't have a very high opinion of it. The way I see it, Battletoads best symbolizes that a well made game can be pretty unlikeable. Am I salty because in the near 29 nears of its existence, I've never beaten it? Well...YES,…

Earlier this year, Konami revealed information on the lineup of games to be featured on the latest to join the club of plug-n-play consoles, the Turbografx-16 Mini. Three trailers were put up for each region of the Turbografx-16 (known as the PC Engine in other regions), highlighting featured titles like Bonk's Adventure, Space Harrier, the highly…

In addition to a brand new characters in additional protagonist Kasumi Yoshizawa and Takuto Maruki, this new upgraded version will boast more new features like new explorable areas, a third semester, some extra mini games, and Playstation 4 Pro support.…

With the massive success of the Resident Evil 2 Remake, is Capcom going to give Resident Evil 3 the same treatment? 

This data leak seems to suggest so. 

Resident Evil 3 Remake cover art has appeared on PSN…

Not to nitpick immediately in my introductory, but why exactly is it titled that way? As opposed to Spider: The Musical, or Spider: The Anti-inflammatory? It’s like Slugs The Movie, nobody will confuse it with any other previous work, so the subtitle comes off a tad deflating. Maybe I'm counting my blessings, it could've…

Despite everything that has gone on with Pokemon Sword and Shield, the newest games in the long standing franchise. The games went on to break sales records. Nintendo has reported that both games sold 6 million copies over its launch weekend making it the fastest selling Nintendo Switch game of all time and the highest-grossing launch Pokemon game of…

Is the above image a leak from the newest Assassin's Creed game?

A recent leak on 4chan suggests that the newest Assassin's Creed title is going to be called "Ragnarok" and will take circa 800 BC. in parts of England and Scandinavia. You play the role of Viking assassin named "Jora" who ventures throughout the first civilization. The plot is…

The Resi 2 remake is up for game of the year here in 2019, so perhaps it's appropo to give a glance at its forefather that is still one of the most popular games in the series and it's always in regular discussion for being the best Resident Evil game in the series.…

Originally a PlayStation 4 exclusive, Detroit: Become Human has now become the latest console exclusive title to make its way to PC via the Epic Games Store, following the announcement of Death Stranding making its way to Windows in early 2020. Detroit: Become Human also joins Heavy Rain (back in June) and Beyond: Two Souls (July) in 2019. …

Could we be getting a new Crash game next year? All signs kind of point to yes!  

During Sony's newest "It's Time to Play" videos, they glanced over Crash, Coco, and Dr Cortex racing around a garage. One person with keen eye sight noticed something a little strange. The mask that was following CoCo isn't a mask from the game, but something…
