Similar to many other games that I have reviewed on this website, I never heard about this one until the last few years. I actually learned about it through a YouTube channel Classic Game Room. Apparently it was really awesome, so I have the game a try! I didn’t really pick up on much story,… Read More Genesis Review – Truxton
Back in the early late 80’s and early 90’s I was obsessed with ninjas. While the top ninjas in my book were the Ninja Turtles – anything ninja caught my attention. I don’t remember when, but I certainly played Ninja Gaiden as a kid and remember being blown away by the graphics, the cut scenes,… Read More NES Review – Ninja Gaiden
Dragon Quest is one of my favourite RGP series. I recently completed Dragon Quest 11 for PS4. The series has obviously evolved since the first entry, but what’s so lovely about the series is that each Dragon Quest game feels like traditional Dragon Quest game – whether it’s the iconic music, turn-based RPG mechanics, or… Read More NES Review – Dragon Warrior 2
I missed out on many games growing up and Ikaruga (for Dreamcast and Gamecube) was one of them! Like many others in my collection, I recently had a chance to sit down and play it for the first time and was pleasantly surprised! It’s damn hard but has some really interesting mechanics! In terms of… Read More Gamecube Review – Ikaruga
My brother and I would survive our houseboat adventures during our summers by playing our Game Boy. While we really enjoyed the Donkey Kong game for Game Boy, it wasn’t a traditional platforming game. We soon discovered this gem, and I have been playing it ever since! In terms of story, the game follows Mario… Read More Game Boy Review – Super Mario Land
I just finished watching season 2 of the Netflix Castlevania series, which got me interested in playing more of the games in the series! Similar to other games in the series, Castlevania III takes a Belmont through Dracula’s castle, but adds a ton more to the series – making it the best iteration on the NES!… Read More NES Review – Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse
I remember picking up Star Fox 64 for the first time, plugging in the rumble pack, and finishing the game within a few hours. I was initially disappointed because I thought it would have been more challenging. My disappointment slowly dissipated as I started to replay the game, finding new paths to beat Andros, and… Read More N64/3DS Review – Star Fox 64
I remember the first time I saw Super Mario World – I was at school and the students were putting on a sale to raise money for some school initiative. One grade 6 kid had brought in his Super Nintendo and was charging a dollar for 5 minutes of play. I forked over the money… Read More SNES Review – Super Mario World
Ninja Turtles was a staple of my childhood. My brother and I would do flips over the couch in order to prep for an episode of the TV show. When the games for NES game out, I was ecstatic. I first played the original – which was fine enough but it didn’t capture the intensity… Read More NES Review – TMNT: The Arcade Game
With the recent release of the Mega Man Legacy Collection on Switch, I have been revisiting some of the old Mega Man classics! One of my personal favourites is Mega Man II! Some people believe that Mega Man II the best classic Mega Man ever made – I am one of these people, but nevertheless… Read More NES Review – Mega Man 2
