It's the mid 90's, the hardware is improving in horsepower, and many franchises are taking that seemingly obligatory plunge into the world of polygons. It was fighting games' turn to make that transition. Sure, there were already 3D brawlers by this point, spearheaded by Virtua Fighter, Soul Edge, and Tekken, but the traditionally 2D flagships like…

An arms race in the handheld department appears to be underway. Nintendo's next piece of hardware is expected to be revealed in 2025 (speculation points to March), and Microsoft is in talks of producing their own portable machine.

There's a short list of video games I never shut up about since joining social media, and Electronic Arts' Strike series is one of them. The SHUMP genre may be one that has not seen a true revival the way brawlers have, but the beauty is, it's a play style that never gets old. Desert Strike remains a transformative experience that holds up well. Uh,…

Then your final result is something like Astyanax, a game that...certainly exists. …

Eight games in, the Mario Kart games have become deep enough that the discussion of which one is best gets more profound. The first one on SNES was a great establishment game. It has its place in history, but the advancement of tech leaves it behind, in my opinion. Mario Kart 64 ages pretty well. Mario Kart: Super Circuit, my personal favorite Then…
