Minor complaints aside, I really enjoyed Gensokyo Defenders. Although I found some of the tower defense elements to be a bit repetitive and the story could use some punching up, I was thoroughly enter...

Episode #3 - 1991 was the year when Silence of the Lambs swept the Oscars. It's one of only three movies that won the Big Five categories, that is actor, actress, writing, director and best picture. Another sweep ...

As a remake, Toki gets almost everything right. It looks great, feels like the arcade original and brings the fire-spitting ape into the 21st century. But as a modern game, this remake is a mess. It's...

The problem with this collection is that it's too expensive. Charging full price for both Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight seems outrageous to me, and the only real ...

Episode #2 - 1990 was the year when In Living Color upset the long-running Saturday Night Live at the Emmys. It was also the year that gave us Oscar-winning movies Ghost and Dances With Wolves, all while "U Can't ...

Episode #37 - Valis is one of my favorite 16-bit action franchises of all time. Not because it's the best looking or playing side-scroller you'll ever see, but rather because the story kicks ass, the cinemas are ge...

Episode #1 - 1989 was that year that gave us Oscar-winning movies like Driving Miss Daisy and Dead Poets Society. It was also the year when Bette Midler's "Wind Beneath My Wings" cleaned up at the Grammys and Chee...

Episode #36 - This week brings us Thanksgiving, which is a time when we get together with family and celebrate all of the best things in life. In an effort to celebrate one of my favorite holidays, I wanted to talk...

At its best, Roarr! The Adventures of Rampage Rex is a mindless beat 'em up where you mash buttons until all the aliens are dead. Unfortunately, that premise alone isn't enough to make up for the horr...

Don't let her small frame and blue hair fool you, Damsel is one of the year's best new characters. This debut release from Screwtape Studios is a joy to play and filled with great ideas. Best of all, ...

Emerald Shores is the kind of 2D platformer that is just good enough to be worth playing, but not unique enough to stick with you for years to come. I like the merging of mascot and role-playing, as w...

Episode #35 - Valis is not what I would call a great action game. It doesn't control especially well, the graphics aren't very good and the level designs are the very definition of bland. But there is one thing Val...

The best thing I can say about Drowning is that the inner thoughts ring true and the emotions feel authentic. Unfortunately, as a game, there's not enough here to recommend. The pacing is painfully s...

Although it's not as cutting as it could have been, Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don't Dry is an inspired new take on the hapless bachelor. This is a fun way to explore the generational differences ...

Although on the short side, Cybarian: The Time Travelling Warrior is every bit as awesome as the title suggests. This is a punishingly difficult action game that perfectly mimics the arcade classics I...
