Castlevania – I never use to play these games growing up but since the release of the DS games, I really started to enjoy them. I think they were just too hard for me when I was young! Looking at all the classic titles (before Symphony of the Knight – which took the game in an… Read More GENESIS Review – Castlevania Bloodlines
Star Wars – nothing beats it! I remember when the GameCube first came out, this was the first game I picked up! And to this day, I still think it is the best Star Wars game ever released! In Rogue Squadron 2, you take control of Luke and Wedge through some of the films major… Read More GCB Review -Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 2
As a kid growing up, Ninja Turtles was where it was at. As soon as the music from the show would go on, my brother and I (aged 5 or 6) would be jumping over chairs and flipping over the chesterfield in excitement, preparing for another awesome episode with the turtles. In this first TMNT… Read More NES Review – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Metroid: Zero Mission – what an awesome game. It is basically a remake of the original NES game, with an amazing facelift and a bunch of added areas. The story of this game takes place first in the Metroid timeline. Space pirates have stolen Metroids – organisms that can drain the life of living things –… Read More GBA Review – Metroid: Zero Mission
Legend! One of the hidden gems of the Super Nintendo. I found my copy of this game in Toronto recently – it was cart only with barely a label on it (which I prompt reattached with super glue). The cartridge looked like it had gone through a “legendary” journey of its own just to make it… Read More SNES Review – Legend
This game brings back some memories. It was the first game that I ever beat with my twin brother – ever! This is a top-down cooperative shootem’up game that takes place on an island (ahem…Cuba…ahem). Originally an arcade game, it was ported to the Nintendo 1989. I never played the original arcade game, but this game… Read More NES Review – Guerilla War
Captain Bucky O’Hare was a 90’s Saturday morning cartoon character that I watched a few times growing up. He was certainly unique – a green rabit with monster sideburns. He and his team (made up of a multi-armed duck, Blinky the robot, some animal women, and a boy from earth wearing a gorilla costume) battled… Read More NES Review – Bucky O’Hare
Golden Axe was the first beat’em up game that I ever remember playing. I was six or seven at my babysitters house for the weekend. My brother and I played this game with our sitter and made it to the last level but ended up getting slain by Death Adder (side note – Death Adders are… Read More GENESIS Review – Golden Axe
Let’s get dangerous! Darkwing Duck is a Capcom platform game based off of a 90’s Disney cartoon. I spend a couple Saturday mornings watching Darkwing Duck with my brother, it was a fun cartoon similar to Tail Spin. The Darkwing character seems to be a parody of Batman, as Darkwing is only Darkwing by night – during the… Read More NES Review – Darkwing Duck
My first introduction to Final Fantasy 3 was at age 9. A friend was trying to show me how to get through a random battle. I kept on hitting “B” by accident and instead of initiating an attack ended up closing the menu. Suffice to say – Final Fantasy 3 did not hold my attention long. While I did get… Read More SNES Review – Final Fantasy 3
