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.

I’ve always heard of the Senran Kagura series, but never took the time to sit down and play one of the games. I’ve seen the cover art for the games, but never really any gameplay. Like most, I had my opinions on the series. That is not to say they were negative, they were not in the slightest bit, merely just a series I never played.

Super Mario RPG – A Retrospective Video
Growing up in the 90s, I had exposure to some of gaming’s greatest titles at a very young age. This was partly due to my next-door neighbor’s Super Nintendo.

As a result, that left me with lots of ga...[Read More]

Calling All Pet Sim Fans! Little Friends Dogs & Cats Comes to Nintendo Switch This Spring
Some of us here at Marooners’ Rock grow up playing with Tamagotchi’s or owning the games NintenDogs and NintendCats. I even remember at one point playing a PC game in which you took care of a Cat or Dog. I had to do a little research while typing this that the gamers were called Catz and Dogz, which now has me feeling a bit old. This is after watching some old gameplay of those two tit...[Read More]
