Review: Gunman Clive for Nintendo 3DS eShop
July 1st, 2014 Nick Abrams Run and gun shooters have always been a favorite genre of mine. Mega Man on the NES is one that really hooked me on gaming in general.

Fan Translation: Retro Game Challenge 2 Finally Playable in English
June 24th, 2014 Nick Abrams If you never played Retro Game Challenge on the DS, I heartily recommend tracking down a copy. As a child of the 80’s, it brought back many memories about what the gaming culture was like back then. So, when Japan got the sequel (the game is called Game Center CX over there…based on the hit […]
