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.”

Rogue Warrior

Posted on December 25, 2017 by Cassidy

“Rogues, One. Warriors, Zero.”

Detailing Dick Marcinko’s one man war against North Korea, English vocabulary, and good game design. But who is truly responsible for this atrocity of war?

Star Wars: Masters of Teräs Käsi

Posted on September 21, 2017 by Cassidy

“I Am the Master of My Own Teräs Käsi.”

Can the art of Teräs Käsi truly be mastered by a fighting games padawan? Does this Star Wars title maintain balance in the Force, or does it plunge players into darkness?

“Haunted Castle in the Sky.”

We return once again to Dracula’s demon castle with whip in hand and a chest full of hearts. But have we finally come upon a curse too powerful for the Vampire Killer?

Indigo Prophecy / Fahrenheit

Posted on August 12, 2017 by Cassidy

“Indigo Prophecy 451°.”

A deep dive into the mind of David Cage, and an exploration of his studio’s sophomore effort. Was Indigo Prophecy a work of art worthy of its praise, or has the hype been overblown from the very beginning?

Sonic Labyrinth

Posted on July 15, 2017 by Cassidy

“Sonic, Your Child Is Falling and the Labyrinth Is Calling.”

Because what we’ve all truly been waiting to see from Sonic is a slow, meandering, maze exploration game.

Hooters Road Trip

Posted on July 3, 2017 by Cassidy

“Hootie & the Road Trip.”

When it comes to Hooters, you should expect your licensed games to be “delightfully tacky yet unrefined.” But can this PS1 racing title live up to even that low expectation?

The Transformers: Mystery of Convoy

Posted on May 27, 2017 by Cassidy

“We Gonna Roll Out This Transformers Comvoy ‘Cross the U-S-A.”

Is there more to this Japan-exclusive title than meets the eye, or is it truly one of the defining kusogē games of its era?

Super Mario Bros. Special

Posted on May 15, 2017 by Cassidy

“The Not-So Super Mario Bros. Special Show.”

The Mario game Nintendo would like you to forget. Did Hudson Soft drop the ball in handling the precious license, or did they perhaps hit too close to home for the Big N’s comfort?

Clock Tower II: The Struggle Within

Posted on May 12, 2017 by Cassidy

“The Struggle Isn’t over Till the Clock Tower Says Two.”

The horror comes home in Human Entertainment’s follow-up to the Scissorman saga. But does it cut as deep without the series standard trademarks on-hand?
