Burger Time Party! (Nintendo Switch) Review

Retro-Bit released their Data East All-Star Collection, an officially licensed NES 5-in-1 multi-cart. My Arcade released the Data East Mini Player, which contains 35 Data East titles.

Action Platformer EarthNight Lands on Console and PC this December
Over the years, I’ve been able to check out the game EarthNight from the Cleaversoft team during PAX East.

This is the second time that a game has inspired such a strong emotional reaction; the first time was from an or...[Read More]
Bulletstorm – Duke of Switch Edition Review
Looking back on it, 2011 was an amazing year for gaming! The Mortal Kombat reboot, Portal 2, Skyrim, Rayman Origins, the list goes on and on. There were so many grade A titles being released it’s not surprising that some may have been missed. One of those games for me was Bulletstorm. People Can Fly’s humorous take on the sci-fi FPS genre always interested me. I’m honestly not sure how it slipped ...[Read More]
Whipseey and the Lost Atlas (Switch) Review
Upon looking at this title, I was immediately reminded of Kirby’s Adventure as I’m sure most were. Whipseey and the Lost Atlas definitely channels the lighthearted nature of Nintendo’s pink hero aesthetically but there is a surprising level of challenge that leans more on the unpolished side of things. I played this on the Switch, which so far seems like a solid way to play this quick, inexpensive...[Read More]
