Rockbot Review, Fanmade Mega Man Game Rocks
September 30th, 2015 Carl Williams Okay, it is pretty clear that Capcom are transitioning down with their new IPs and rebooting of classic titles. That is bad news for everyone but Street Fighter fans, which apparently writes checks in its sleep.

Bonk’s Revenge for the Nintendo Entertainment System Restored
September 2nd, 2015 Carl Williams Sometimes censorship in videogame is weird. Other times it is probably for the best. While I personally have no problem with upside down crosses in a game like Splatterhouse, there are people that are. Concerned parents usually have more to be worried about in that game than some background sprites. Same thing for the positioning […]

Curses ‘N Chaos Review, See How the Windows Version Stands Up to Heritage
August 18th, 2015 Carl Williams Before I start this review, I have to be clear that Curses ‘N Chaos is not a Ghouls ‘n Ghosts ripoff in any way. Sure, both use pixels to convey their charms and a few enemies are shared between the games but that is about the end of the similarities. Curses ‘N Chaos is quite […]

Update: Elysian Shadows is Greenlit, Will be Coming to Popular Distribution Service
November 8th, 2014 Carl Williams It is no secret that Elysian Shadows is a popular game, part due to the fact that the developers are not scared to release on older platforms (Sega Dreamcast) that are fan favorites. Along with the insight to release on a popular retro console, the developers are going to be hitting the Ouya (another Kickstarter […]

5 Obscure 8-Bit Gaming Licenses You Don’t See Anymore
October 11th, 2014 Carl Williams Licensing a celebrity, sports star, company and others are nothing new in gaming. I have seen many liceneses in gaming over the years.
