Bubble Bobble 4 Friends (Switch) Review
Classic video games of the 1980s are definitely still in high demand. Many gamers resort to collecting old favorites physically, while others resort to digital re-releases on current generation hardware. While retro titles are returning in their original form, many are also receiving enhanced sequels. Last year’s BurgerTime Party! marked the seven-year return of arcade hit BurgerTime. BurgerTime P...[Read More]

3000th Duel (Nintendo Switch) Review
A genre that has always excited me is metroidvania, a type of game that has seen a massive flood of titles that fit the mold but can vary in quality greatly. For the most part, the metroidvania titles I come across are stellar, aside from maybe a few glaring problems or a personal taste issue. Upon startup, I thought 3000th Duel was going to fall into the bin of less than average metroidvanias and...[Read More]
Animal Crossing New Horizons Hands-On Impressions at PAX East 2020
Every year I look forward to my trip to PAX East in Boston, and every year I look forward to what Nintendo is going to bring to the expo hall floor. I can tell you from four days of personal experience, Nintendo did not disappoint this time. Past years there was always a nice looking spot with multiple demos of different games that are either out or coming out very soon.
Super Crush KO (Switch) Review
If an alien were to show up with an army and steal your cat, you’d fight like all hell to get your cat back right? Super Crush KO for the Nintendo Switch isn’t like traditional action games, featuring a refreshing look and feel. Coming from Canadian developer Vertex Pop, the makers of We Are Doomed and Graceful Explosion Machine, Super Crush KO is a welcome and incredibly strong action...[Read More]
Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate (Switch) Review
Musou is the name given to a specific type of action game that typically involves taking down thousands of enemies with sweeping strikes and flashy special moves with a plethora of characters to choose from. Stemming from the Romance of Three Kingdoms series of strategy games, Dynasty Warriors eventually hit what we now know as Musou in Dynasty Warriors 2, a popular launch title for the PS2. Since...[Read More]
Some Distant Memory (Switch) Review
The best sci-fi stories don’t need guns, large-scale wars, and sinister villains to defeat. The best stories need a great setting, solid momentum, and relatable characters. When I first played Some Distant Memory at PAX WEST 2019, the demo brought me to an apocalyptic world based on real-life science and intrigued me with its likable characters and technological mystery. I’ve finally s...[Read More]
Without Escape (PS Vita) Review
The first basic instinct of humans is fear. Humans fear the unknown, especially being alone in the dark. For one young man, alone in the dark in his parent’s house, a nightmare beyond imagination is about to unfold. Without Escape is a simple point-and-click horror game from Bumpytrail Games and EastAsiaSoft. Coming from the shadows as a surprise release, Without Escape is a shockingly good ...[Read More]
Top Games of the Decade by Year
Wow, another decade has come and gone and along with it came lots of video games! We here at Marooner’s Rock clearly love video games, but it can be incredibly difficult to narrow down the top games of a single year, let alone an entire decade. So we made it slightly easier on ourselves by making a Top Games list where we all got a pick for each year. The result, I think, is a nice collectio...[Read More]

Speaking Simulator Hits Nintendo Switch and PC on January 30

The hilarious game about an android struggling to infiltrate human society, who initiates its plan for world domination.

Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth Complete Edition (Switch) Review
Much like Power Rangers and Pokemon, I have a deep love of Digimon from my time spent watching the show each Saturday in the early 90s. While Pokemon continued to captivate me as a child with each release of the Game Boy games, I always felt more invested in the stories found in the Digimon show; the end of a story arch felt like an event that was built up by ads and special hour blocks. I’ve alwa...[Read More]
