Going back as far as I can remember, there were three things I loved as a kid more than anything else - Batman, video games, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The Dark Knight had been popular ever since his first appearance in Detective Comics #27 in 1939 and through Adam West's run as Bruce Wayne/Batman … Continue reading Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles In Time
Last month, Kim from Later Levels and Genni from Ace Asunder challenged us to embrace your backlog of games and share your love for all things video games. One of the questions posed within was asking which game has spent the longest in your backlog with encouragement to dust off that old copy of <insert … Continue reading #MaybeInMarch – Fighting Back(log)
Today marks the 20th anniversary of Perfect Dark, an all-time favorite N64 game that meant a lot to me during my early teen years. The memories... I got an N64 in 1998 as a birthday present after spending the past year and a half playing games like Mario 64 and Diddy Kong Racing at my … Continue reading 20 Years of Perfect Dark
For the month of March I have set out to complete some of the games that have been sitting in my backlog for quite some time. I still have a few Sega Genesis games that I've owned since childhood that I never finished(Dynamite Headdy, X-Men). To kick off my #MaybeInMarch goal, I recently finished Final … Continue reading #MaybeInMarch – Final Fantasy VII

For my final Blogtober gaming entry I've chosen one Konami's Playstation masterworks … Continue reading Halloween Blogtober – Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
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
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
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
