Review: P.O.W. – Prisoners of War (PSN)

SNK has been releasing a number of games as Minis recently with mixed results. Certain games translate well, and the price point is such that it is worth it just for the hour or so of old-school arcade gameplay that many of us cut our teeth on.

Review: Prehistoric Isle (PSN)

Nostalgia is a powerful draw for a lot of people. Trying to relive the “good ole days” can  sometimes occupy too much of our time. Sometimes it’s necessary though, and Minis like “Prehistoric Isle” make it easy to remember the days where your progress was measured in quarters spent, and things like plot and motivation never crossed your mind.

SNK To Launch Neo-Geo Station On PlayStation Network

This news has pressed all of my nostalgia buttons. That’s right. All of them.

Classic Games: Still great, or is it just nostalgia?

Last Tuesday, for my birthday, I whipped out my NES and played a beloved game from my childhood, Crystalis. At first I was pretty scared to pop it in, because what if I didn’t feel the same way about it anymore? What if the gameplay or story was too simplistic for my current gaming tastes? What if I don’t enjoy it, and those memories are ruined? As a little girl, I slept in the same be...[Read More]
