Welcome back for another Blogtober gaming post! Today's Halloween-themed game is inFAMOUS 2: Festival of Blood. This stand-alone DLC for Sucker Punch's second entry in the inFAMOUS series is what I would describe as inFAMOUS 2 mixed with the HBO show True Blood. I loved playing Festival of Blood after it was initially released and … Continue reading Halloween Blogtober – inFAMOUS 2: Festival of Blood
Halloween Blogtober – Vampire: Master of Darkness
An influential and beloved game series like Castlevania is going to have is share of copycat versions, a Mello Yello to its Mountain Dew, right? I recently came across the game Vampire: Master of Darkness, released in 1993 on the Sega Game Gear and Master System(PAL only), and by just looking at the screenshots of … Continue reading Halloween Blogtober – Vampire: Master of Darkness
Blazing Chrome
After my disappointing trial of Contra: Rogue Corps I sought out a game that, from what I had seen and heard provided the closest match to a traditional Contra game in terms of feel and gameplay, and indie run n' gun throwback Blazing Chrome definitely hit the spot. Blazing Chrome is a side-scrolling shooter that … Continue reading Blazing Chrome
Halloween Blogtober – Left 4 Dead

Link’s Awakening – My First Impression
The Link's Awakening remake has been out for nearly a day and a half and I felt compelled to write out some of my thoughts on the game so far, it being far easier to express as a blog post than a rambling series of tweets. I have only played for a few hours and … Continue reading Link’s Awakening – My First Impression
Metroid Fusion
On November 17, 2002 Nintendo did something unique - releasing a pair of Metroid titles simultaneously with Metroid Prime being released on Gamecube and Metroid Fusion for the Game Boy Advance.
