December 18th, 2009

Yeah, I’m pretty late on reviewing this, I took a while to actually get around to playing it.

I saw a bunch of videos and previews for this and I was really hyped. And when it came out… I didn’t buy it for some reason. But now I did manage to get it and I am not disappointed.

Read on and see why!

DS review – Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

December 15th, 2009

Hey, it’s the second Zelda game on the DS! The first, Phantom Hourglass, was pretty fun. Not without its faults, of course, but it definitely wasn’t bad.

Now this one goes for a new gimmick: Driving a train. Is it a good idea? Is it a bad idea? Does this game correct the problems of the previous title?

Wiiware Review – Excitebike World Rally

Excitebike World Rally

Excitebike. Probably the finest racing game of the third generation. It was pretty much ignored since, other than the really crappy Excitebike 64 (which pretty much had nothing to do with the original), but let’s just forget that one. We finally get a full blown remake of the classic on the Wii’s WiiWare, and when I got my Wii back I had to get it right away.

So here’s what I thought of it. Does it stack up with the original, or should we ignore it like with Excitebike 64?

Read on! This will be quite a short read.

DS review – Phantasy Star Zero

November 17th, 2009

I don’t know that much about the Phantasy Star series, never having played the original RPG series and only playing quite a bit of Online Episode 1 and starting Episode 3 (the card game one). So I thought it would be cool to play one that was more like the original RPG series. Well, to my surprise it was anything but that. It actually plays almost exactly like the Online games. So let’s just say I was pleasantly surprised, if not a bit bummed that it didn’t end up being a regular RPG.

So, is it fun like Online, or is it just a quick cash in for PSO fans? Read on and see!

Challenges from the Past – Batman

August 26th, 2009
No Gravatar

Well, with a new GOOD Batman game out, I thought I’d make my first “Challenges from the Past” post about another good Batman game. That’s right, Batman on the NES, made by Sunsoft.

This is an NES classic for sure, and one of the few Batman games to have been good.

I was given a few challenges for this, so let’s talk about the game first, and the challenges after!

Cool site I found for retro/old-school gamers

July 31st, 2009

I was randomly looking around the internet, and found this website that was selling old games for cheap. Some might prefer buying some of those games on the Wii’s Virtual Console,
but some people just like playing old games on the actual consoles. OR like the collector’s value of actually having the old games.

I don’t know if it’s an old site, or if it’s well known, or whatever, but I still wanted to talk about it a bit.

Check it out!

DS review – The Legendary Starfy

June 14th, 2009

This release took me by surprise. I knew the game would be localized, but it escaped my mind completely. This series kinda interested me when I heard about it, despite the childish look. The series has been going on for 7 years now, but only after all that time we get an english version of the game over here. So I jumped on it right when I saw it.

Has it been worth the long wait for a localized version, or is it lame?

DS review – Desktop Tower Defense

May 27th, 2009
No Gravatar

This is the essential Tower Defense game. It was first built in flash on March 2007, and just now too the jump to consoles(handheld at least). It was a really fun time-waster on the web, that’s for sure.

Now that it’s on the DS, does it still have the same appeal?

Read on. This will be really short. You’ll see why.
