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
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
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
It’s Morphin Time! The early 90’s had me dancing each morning as my brother and I would be dropped off at our babysitters’ house before we went to school. At 7:30AM we would watch an episode of Power Rangers to pump us up for the day. When the game came out, I was understandably excited, and promptly… Read More SNES Review – Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
I rented this game with my brother back in the 90’s and remember having a blast playing it! The characters were hilarious, the moves were funny, and the fighting was fun and seemed so different and more accessible compared to the ultra competitive Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo. I decided to revisit this game with my brother… Read More SNES Review – ClayFighter
Star Wars – one of my favourite nerdy obsessions! In preparation for the new movie Rogue One, I decided to the play the new VR Star Wars experience on PS4. It was so amazing -I got to fly an X-Wing, be overtaken by a Star Destroyer, and fly through astroids! I was so hyped after this… Read More SNES Review – Super Star Wars
For my 31st birthday, I splurged and picked up this gem of a game. I first played Mega Man 7 when I was in grade 6 – my brother and I rented the game for a weekend and ended up beating it. At the time I was already a huge fan of the new Mega… Read More SNES Review – Mega Man 7
Gundam Wing was the first Anime that I watched that was not kid-focused like Dragon Ball Z or Pokemon. When I saw it on TV, I was blown away by how amazing the robots were, how cool the art was, and how it blended war drama with awesome space combat. How cool would it be to play… Read More SNES Review – Gundam Wing: Endless Duel
Contra as a series are games my brother and I have played since the beginning of our video game days. We never owned any of them, but would borrow them from friends or rent them from game stores. Contra 3 – the first iteration of the series on 16-bit consoles – is an awesome run and gun… Read More SNES Review – Contra 3: The Alien Wars
Mega Man X – one of the great gifts of the 16-bit era. I remember my mom bringing this game home for my brother and I – we just tore through the box and played it for weeks! We got so good at it that we regularly unlocked the secret Hadouchen fireball and even defeated Sigma a… Read More SNES Review – Mega Man X
