Castlevania has been an interesting series – and one that has stood the test of time in both the 8-bit and 16-bit eras. While Super Castlevania IV is probably the most popular Castlevania on SNES, I wanted to take a look at the one that is much less common (and one that I recently picked… Read More SNES Review – Castlevania: Dracula X
Few games from the arcade era of the early 80’s made the leap into 3D. Robotron 2084 is one of the few that made the jump! Today I’m going to revisit the 3D remake for the Nintendo 64. Robotron 64 is a simple game that captures the essence of the original (maybe to a fault)… Read More N64 Review – Robotron 64
Back in the early 2000’s – and well before I started collecting games – my brother picked up a big box of NES games from a friend. There were well over 100 NES games. One of my favs from the group was a game called Shadow of the Ninja. This weeks’ review is about this… Read More NES Review – Shadow of the Ninja
Super Metroid was always one of my favourite games, but I couldn’t really see how they could possibly bring that amazing formula of action, adventure, and exploration into the 3D world without messing it up. The day finally came and I picked Metroid Prime up in high school as soon as it was released – and proceeded to power… Read More Gamecube / Wii Review – Metroid Prime
The first time I played a game in the Space Harrier series was when I played the original arcade game on Shenmue for Dreamcast. It was a fun time with awesome music! A couple years later, I picked up the sequel on the Wii virtual console. Having not played the game for close to a decade, I… Read More Genesis Review – Space Harrier 2
When I originally had a PSX back in the early 2000’s, I basically stuck to RPGs which kept me naive to much of the awesome games under different genres. So when I saw this game in my local hock shop, I picked it up to try something new! Turns it out was an awesome idea –… Read More PSX Review – Ray Crisis
Kirby’s Adventure! It was a fairly late release on the NES, but it was worth the wait! My bro and I bought this game brand new when it came out in 1993. We played the heck out of it and eventually beat it. At the time, I was blown away from seeing Kirby in full… Read More NES Review – Kirby’s Adventure
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was my favourite cartoon growing up. Whenever the theme song came on, my brother and I would launch ourselves over the couch in anticipation, ready to consume the 22 minute TV show. During those years, I enjoyed many TMNT games like the first one in NES, the sequel/arcade game, and eventually… Read More SNES Review – TMNT: Tournament Fighter
Racing games were never my thing (apart from awesome Kart racers) but when the N64 came out, there wasn’t a ton of game choice. Cruisin USA came out fairly early in the lifecycle of the system, so when I was finished with Mario 64, I ended up borrowing this game from a friend. At the… Read More N64 Review – Cruis’N USA
I played this game when I was seven or eight years old. One of the older kids on the street had this game, and he lent it to us for a week or so. I was blown away by the openness of the game and cool it was to get out of the tank! As… Read More NES Review – Blaster Master
