I have to admit that I didn't grow up with Nintendo, as I just didn't own one when I was in high school. I know that shows how old I am, but I remember the Atari 2600. I missed the era of Ghosts'n Goblins, Demon's Crest, and Castlevania, and I believe that Odallus: The Dark Call pays homage to these games. When I played Odallus on Steam, and it is one of those games that … [Read more...] about Odallus: The Dark Call, and Interesting Game

Replay: VHS is not dead Review
I will have to admit that this game was difficult for me, and I'll have to describe it as best as I can. The game is about a man who returns some videos, and there is kind of an eighties anime vibe going on. The woman behind the counter is attractive but gets unkind when customers don't rewind. Anyway, the man has some serious magic realism going on as he gets transported … [Read more...] about Replay: VHS is not dead Review
Anna’s Quest: One of the finest point-and-clicks that I ever played
I have reviewed a lot of point-and-clicks on this blog. I honestly don't want to put the last ones I wrote about, because I just don't want to put links in there. Oh wait, one of them was Dead Synchronicity, which was also by Daedalic Entertainment. I don't know if I was just in a good mood when I started playing Anna's Quest, but I just could not stop playing it on the last … [Read more...] about Anna’s Quest: One of the finest point-and-clicks that I ever played
Nintendo at E3 2015: A letdown?
Okay, you might remember as I talked about what Microsoft and Sony doing at E3 2015, but if you noticed, I didn't mention Nintendo. I believe that those two companies had their press conferences before E3 2015 officially began, but it looks like Nintendo didn't start maybe later. Now, I have already said several times that it is possible that Nintendo's days could be … [Read more...] about Nintendo at E3 2015: A letdown?

Right now, E3 2015 is happening right now at the LA Convention Center, and if you aren't familiar with it, it is the biggest video game conference.

Nintendo working on a Theme Park with Universal Studios
In case you don't know, Nintendo is very picky about how much it lends out its intellectual property. Yes, the eighties had the Nintendo cereal system, but you might notice that there was not a Legend of Zelda movie after Super Mario Brothers was released. I have to admire Nintendo for that, but the company has inked an deal with Universal studios to have a theme park … [Read more...] about Nintendo working on a Theme Park with Universal Studios
Disney Infinity 3.0 has “Star Wars” characters
I have written about Disney Infinity before, and did a hands-on review when I had it for the Nintendo Wii. If you aren't familiar with it, Disney Infinity is one of those games like Skylanders and Lego Dimensions where you have a figurine that you can put in the game, in a digital form. Last year, they introduced Disney Infinity 2.0, which involved the addition of a lot … [Read more...] about Disney Infinity 3.0 has “Star Wars” characters
My Review of Project Root from OPQAM
Okay, you know how much that I like reviewing video games, and I had a chance to try out Project Root by OPQAM. I will have to say that this game is addictive, awesome, and old-school meets the modern age of gaming. Project Root is a video game that doesn't need a complex backstory, but it has one. In all honesty, I don't really even care but it involves some evil … [Read more...] about My Review of Project Root from OPQAM
Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today RPG Review
Of course, I always like testing out new RPG games on Steam, and I was pleased to try out Dead Synchronicity. Unlike some of the other great point-and-click games that I have tried out, such as Descent to Deadrock, I didn't finish this one before my review. The reason why I didn't finish this game because honestly, I am stuck! Seriously, games like these take a lot of … [Read more...] about Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today RPG Review
Why Nintendo is still valid: Super Mario 3D World
Okay, I know I have said that Nintendo's Days are numbered, and as the owner of a PS4 and the Nintendo Wii U, I will let you know which one that I play more. The other night, that changed. It didn't all change, but I was propelled into a fun realm with Super Mario 3D World. It is hard to believe that when I bought the Wii U, I didn't want the Super Mario 3D World game. … [Read more...] about Why Nintendo is still valid: Super Mario 3D World
Guitar Hero Live coming this Fall
I think we all remember the age of the music game, with Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Well, you might be pleased to know that Guitar Hero will be making a comeback with Guitar Hero Live. There will be some updates to Guitar Hero from Activision. The first will be GH Live, a feature that will allow the player to go up in front of a crowd and perform in front of either a … [Read more...] about Guitar Hero Live coming this Fall
LEGO Dimensions lets player put their creations in the game
Just last month I wrote that Lego was working with Warner Brothers Interactive for some new toys, and it would appear that news of it has come sooner rather than later. I have learned that Warner Brother Interactive and Telltale Games are working on LEGO Dimensions, a toys-to-life structure that allows players to scan LEGO creations and then play with them in the game's … [Read more...] about LEGO Dimensions lets player put their creations in the game
Nothing Lasts Forever: PlayStation Home and OnLive bite the dust
In 2008, when MMO was a pretty good market, Sony launched PlayStation Home, a virtual world on the PlayStation 3. Now players would be able to meet up in a "Second Life" kind of setting and talk about games and stuff. Yeah, it didn't work out, and I have no idea if it was ever the thing. I mean, I'm there are some who thought MySpace would last forever. Sony announced … [Read more...] about Nothing Lasts Forever: PlayStation Home and OnLive bite the dust
No Zelda Wii U Game until 2016?
All right, I will never forget that post that I did where I suggested that Nintendo's days were numbered. This was back when the biggest thing they announced was the 2DS, which was shortly after the release of the Wii U. So far, things have not been looking good for the Wii U, but it helps to have Super Smash Brothers and Mario Kart. Of course, I think we all know what … [Read more...] about No Zelda Wii U Game until 2016?
