Review-Pokémon Sword (And Shield I guess)
Boy, this game sure did cause a stink, didn’t it? I wasn’t going to pick up Pokémon Sword (And Shield I guess) originally. It didn’t have anything to do with the controversies surrounding it or anything, though it didn’t help, it just wasn’t on my radar. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy Pokémon every now […]

Review-Luigi’s Mansion 3
Luigi has always been my favorite little plumber man, but I never really knew why. For some reason, I always gravitated towards him over Mario. I vividly remember playing Super Mario Bros. 3 on the NES as a kid and giving all of Mario’s lives to Luigi and letting him die just so I could […]

Review- Arcade1Up Arcade Machine (Final Fight Flavored)
When I was a kid one of my dreams was to have my very own arcade cabinet. I grew up in an area with a lot of arcades and being exposed to them really left an impact on me. While there have always been console/PC ports for arcade games there’s just nothing like playing it […]

Review-Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age – Definitive Edition
I didn’t know it was going to end this way. Earlier this year I saw the Hero from Dragon Quest get added into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. That spurred me to finally get into Dragon Quest in a serious manner and I played through the first three games on iOS to prepare myself for the […]

Review-Banjo-Kazooie
My backlog of games is very large and I’ve been ashamed of it for years. I have games sitting on my shelf that I’ve owned for almost a decade. I’ve tried to knock them out as fast as I can but sometimes I get distracted or I just..forget that I own them. That fact becomes […]

Review-Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation
When I first started this mini Dragon Quest marathon, I was expecting to play some mildly dated, yet enjoyable games. I was expecting to see the evolution of the JRPG happen in real time and appreciate them as milestones for the genre. What I wasn’t expecting was to fall in love with one particular game. […]

Review-Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order
Of all the franchises Nintendo could have picked to bring back from the grave they picked the one that has a character named “Ulysses S. Claw” in it. When I was a kid I played the absolute hell out of the original Marvel Ultimate Alliance (I never played 2. Fuck Civil War). I remember exploring […]

Review-Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line
You know…when I said I wanted to start Dragon Quest from the beginning, a friend warned me that the second game was exceedingly rough and needlessly difficult and my first thought was “EHHHH I’LL BE OKAY! I CAN ADAPT TO AGE, IT CAN’T BE THAT BAD!”. Let it be known that I have never called […]

Review-Teppen
I’m what we in the business call a “Capcom fan”. For years I’ve followed the company and enjoyed nearly all of their major franchises. From Mega Man to Street Fighter, these games and by extension, the company, have left a massive impact on my life and after a rocky few years (Decade) they’ve finally started […]

Review-Samurai Shodown (2019)
God, I’m so glad SNK is making actual video games again. I always had an admiration for the company growing up after playing Capcom vs SNK for the first time. the company has such a long and illustrious history of amazing games and I was lucky enough to experience many of them…except for one series, […]
