I never played Double Dragon 2 growing up. I played the original (which was only one-player and thus not a great game for my bro and I) and part 3 (which was way to hard – I couldn’t even get past the first level). The series left me quite dissatisfied as I personally didn’t like… Read More NES Review – Double Dragon 2: The Revenge
My favourite fighting series of all time is Soulcalibur, with Soulcalibur II on Gamecube being the highlight as you can be Link! What I didn’t realize was that before Soulcalibur was actually a sequel to Soul Edge – an arcade and Playstation weapon-based fighting game. I recently sat down for an afternoon with the game… Read More PSX Review – Soul Blade
I know the Wii U isn’t exactly a “retro” console – but for all intent and purpose – its time has passed! I loved the Wii U – it was unique and had a bunch of exclusive games that really made it worth having. Many didn’t believe that thought and it never became a hit.… Read More Wii U Review – New Super Mario Bros U
When I first got my NES when I was 6, I didn’t realize the Super Mario Bro’s wasn’t the first game with Mario in it. In fact, there had been a couple of games released like the arcade classic Donkey Kong that starred Mario. Today I am goin to talk to you guys about another… Read More NES Review – Mario Bros
The introduction of 3D to gaming brought with it some cool twists on classic 2D games. Enter Tetrisphere – the evolution of Tetris into the 3rd dimension! It was thus named because instead of the gameplay taking place on a 2D field (a la classic Tetris), the game revolved around a sphere – leading to… Read More N64 Review – Tetrisphere
In grade 2, I played this game for the first time. It was awesome – blood, guts, and multiplayer mayhem! My brother and I played the hell out of this game – and I even set up a little tournament with my friends! It has been years since I have played this game (although I… Read More SNES Review – Mortal Kombat II
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
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
The Dreamcast died an early death – there were so many great games that people never ended up playing! One such game is Canon Spike – a game that I picked up recently on eBay. It has been harder and harder to find, but I am glad I finally got to play this Capcom developed multiplayer… Read More Dreamcast Review – Cannon Spike
