In the Hunt

December 16, 2014Steve W0

Briefly sat down with In the Hunt last night. My Mom was right – these games would destroy my eyes. I’m terrible at shooters, but I’m pretty sure games like this are why I wear glasses now. If I’m not mistaken, this game shares common creators with the Metal Slug franchise – it’s unquestionable that they both share […]

Last Bronx

December 15, 2014April 7, 2020Steve W0

Last Bronx Sega Saturn, 1997 Developer: AM3 Publisher: Sega Recently I acquired a handful of Saturn imports, one of which was Sega’s Last Bronx. An early attempt at bringing the weapons-based fighter into the third dimension, Last Bronx is a game that is oft-forgotten by Western audiences. While it lacks the luster and epic scale of […]

Far Cry 4

Ganbare Goemon 2: Kiteretsu Shōgun Magginesu [1] SNES, 1993 Developer: Konami Publisher: Konami A few months back, I picked up a stack of random Super Famicom carts at a local flea market here in Philadelphia. One of those games was Ganbare Goemon 2, the sequel to the game released in the US as Legend of the Mystical Ninja. Ganbare Goemon 2 never […]

Wednesday Weirdness – Murdered: Soul Suspect

November 6, 2014November 6, 2014Steve W0

While finishing up my recent playthrough of Murdered: Soul Suspect, I noticed something slightly weird about the photos in the police station. Also, apparently, the Salem police force LOVES Deus Ex: Human Revolution. It’s literally on every computer screen in the building. One sentence review: Don’t let your gameplay get in the way of your plot.
