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…

RETRO REBOOT!! Warcraft II Tides of Darkness (Windows PC)

Before World of Warcraft drained hours out of my days and atrophying any potential social interaction, a decade earlier the Warcraft real-time strategy game drained hours out of my days and atrophied all of my social interactions.

RETRO REBOOT!! Ninja Gaiden (NES)

When conversations of notoriously difficult Nintendo games come up, one that's generally on the tip of the tongue is Tecmo's action slash-fest Ninja Gaiden. Whereas I find its sequels much more brutal (I have no idea how anyone is supposed to feasibly beat The Ancient Ship of Doom, it's nearly impossible), the first one still holds some merit and is…

RETRO REBOOT!! Double Dragon (NES)

The granddaddy of all arcade beat'em ups. If you want to talk about a game series that paved the way for a genre, this is definitely it.

There's still a charm to revisiting…
