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
As we approach the Halloween season and make our way through October, I thought it would be a fun idea(though not unique by any stretch) to spend the month posting about different games with a spooky theme. I will be going over two different games each week leading up to Halloween, which as I've stated … Continue reading Halloween Blogtober – Left 4 Dead
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

While Prime went on to revolutionize the franchise, Metroid Fusion it seems has always been overlooked as the little brother to it’s Gamecube counterpart, … Continue reading Metroid Fusion

Labor Day is generally considered the final weekend of the summer as we prepare for school to resume and enter into the autumn season(probably my favorite). While I didn't … Continue reading Mario Golf – N64

While it may sound like a pretty simple premise, it works well within its b-movie … Continue reading Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack!

Gato Roboto was released on Steam and Nintendo Switch on May 30 and I admit I was sold pretty easily upon first hearing about the game...Metroidvania, Cats, … Continue reading Gato Roboto – A Charming MEWtroidvania Title
We all have games that for one reason or another end up being put in the backlog, usually with the intention that we’ll get back to it after we finish up whatever we’re currently focusing on. For me, I seem to come across games that I begin playing and seem to enjoy enough before...kinda...stopping. What … Continue reading Doom 3 – Demons In The Darkness
This past week I sat down and played Ape Out, a game I had been wanting to play since it was released this past February. I absolutely love playing this game! It's a vivid, violent, rhythmic smash 'em up that plays like something you could have found years ago in the local arcade but with … Continue reading Ape Out – Going Bananas
Several days ago I decided it would be fun to download another random indie game and share my thoughts about it as I did a few weeks ago with Coffee Crisis. The game I decided on after looking on the Nintendo eShop is titled Back In 1995 - a "retro indie game" which isn't much … Continue reading Back In 1995
