One Man’s Quest to Review Every 16-Bit Game
I’ve played, reviewed, and documented my thoughts about every single game that was released in North America during the 16-bit era. Crazy, right? That’s 716 Super Nintendo, 704 Sega Genesis, and 95 TurboGrafx-16 games, for a grand total of 1,515 fourth-generation titles. Obviously, this begs two questions: Why would you do such a thing? My…

The 15 Best Sega Dreamcast RPGs
Sega’s systems have had plenty of great RPGs, but like Rodney Dangerfield, they get no respect. Sega Dreamcast was a very intriguing system that never lived up to its full potential. Despite having internet connectivity and good graphics, the Dreamcast lacked the sales to keep up with the competition. Remember, the system suffered from the…

Super Mario 35 is Still Koopa-Stomping into Our Hearts
I’m old enough to remember playing the original Super Mario Bros. My siblings and I would fire up the old school Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and spend our evenings stomping Goombas, dodging flying fishes, and kicking Koopa shells while trying to rescue the princess (who for some reason was always in another castle). Super Mario Bros…

Switch Remakes for 2021: The Ultimate Fan Wish List
In the 1980s, Nintendo ruled the home video gaming market. For you youngsters, that’s the “home market” as opposed to the out-of-home “arcade market” which was kabooming back then. If your parents loved you, you had a NES. Even if they were poor, there were plenty of second-hand consoles to go around, as Nintendo was nowhere…

Fable 4: Are They Making a Huge Mistake?
Fable. There is something magical when we think about this series. And no, I don’t just mean your Hero’s abilities. There was the alignment system which not only affected how you looked but your interactions with the characters within Albion. And let’s not forget the sheer silliness that infected anyone who played it with a…

The Girl and the Robot – A Pretty Fun Platformer
Action platformers are favorite genre of mine. Ever since the days of Portal, I’ve always sought out these games as they typically provide 2 things: challenging puzzles that make you think outside the box and a fun narrative. The Girl with the Robot is no different as it is heavy on puzzles and essentially provides…

Why should I be excited for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity?
Don’t get me wrong; I’m not unexcited about Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. I’m just not $60 excited. Whenever Nintendo announces a new Legend of Zelda game, it’s a big deal. I mean, it’s a huuuuge deal! Nintendo’s treatment of the Zelda franchise differs wildly from that of Super Mario. While Mario only gets a major release…

Here’s Why Your Friends Are Flocking Back to World of Warcraft This Week
Are fewer people streaming Fall Guys? Are you lacking some “sus” people in Among Us? There’s a reason for it. World of Warcraft is back, baby. Kinda. Sorta. But it’s enough to make people ask where their gamer friends have been and why they’re logging into a game that’s old enough to legally drive. Like…

Spooky PS2 Games to Grab this Season
The fall is the perfect time to scare yourself silly by adding these classic PS2 horror games to your collection. If you’re brave enough! (Evil laughter) It is my favorite time of year. The weather’s finally cooling down, the breeze brings that dead-leaf smell. People are decorating their homes with bloody demons and gut-strewn corpses,…
