Fight Club

Posted on February 11, 2018 by Cassidy

“I Did It All for the Fight Club.”

A fighting game based on Fight Club almost sounds like it makes sense. Until you think about it for, like, more than two seconds? Clearly, nobody associated with the production of this game had that kind of time to spare.

Ikki (NES)

Posted on January 31, 2018 by Cassidy

“Oh Ikki, What a Pity, You Don’t Understand.”

We travel back to feudal Japan in search of what is considered to be the world’s first kusogē. Needess to say, we don’t find much there, so we fast-forward a bit to 1985 instead.

Posted on January 15, 2018 by Cassidy

“Girls Gone Guy Game (Going Gonzo).”

Spy Games: Elevator Mission

Posted on December 29, 2017 by Cassidy

“The Spy Games Who Loved Me.”

Can a spiritual successor to Elevator Action successfully bring the arcade action to the Nintendo Wii? Y’know, we could’ve probably pretty safely assumed that’d be a “no.”
