Exactly two years ago today, Nintendo released Super Mario Odyssey, the first next-gen Mario title on the Switch. The release also punctuated what may be any console's best one-two punch in releasing a brand new Mario game only eight months after a new Zelda title - Breath of the Wild; this is further impressive considering … Continue reading Memories of Super Mario Odyssey
For today's Blogtober post we are going to take a trip back to the year 1993. During this wondrous time arcades were still thriving in part to the popularity of fighting-games like Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, and Virtua Fighter(released in '93), Nintendo and Sega were locked in a fierce competition for home console supremacy known … Continue reading Halloween Blogtober – Zombies Ate My Neighbors
Welcome back to another Halloween Blogtober post! Today's horrific highlight is the arcade cult hit Splatterhouse released by Namco originally in 1988. When I selected what games I wanted to go over for the month of October, I wanted to stray(mostly) from the most commonly mentioned Halloween-themed games(Resident Evil, Silent Hill, etc.) and also use … Continue reading Halloween Blogtober – Splatterhouse
For today's Blogtober game entry, I've chosen Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare, quite possibly my favorite DLC, along with cover art of any game(many consider The Witcher 3's Heart of Stone and Blood and Wine to be the greatest, I regrettably have not gotten around to playing those...yet). Undead Nightmare was released in October 2010 … Continue reading Halloween Blogtober – Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare
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
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
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
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
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. While Prime went on to revolutionize the franchise, Metroid Fusion it seems has always been overlooked as the little brother to its Gamecube counterpart, … Continue reading Metroid Fusion
