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. Well, there is a dedicated group of fans that are not content with letting Capcom’s blue bomber sit idly […]

Volgarr the Viking Ported to Sega Dreamcast, Released for Free with Permission
September 27th, 2015 Carl Williams Volgarr the Viking is a newer 2D side scrolling action adventure for Microsoft’s Xbox and Steam, well it was released almost a year ago but that is still newer than Rygar or Ghouls n Ghosts, right? I mention those two classics because it is quite clear that Volgarr the Viking is taking, at least, visual […]

Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs is Currently on Kickstarter
August 31st, 2015 Carl Williams It is not often that I get all that excited about a Kickstarter but well, there is always that one that just won’t let me shut up. Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs is now on Kickstarter and looking might freaking nice. This is not a case of someone wanting to make a “homage” or […]

Classic Nonogram Game PixlCross Reminds us of Mario’s Picross on Wii U and Computers
August 27th, 2015 Carl Williams Way back on the Game Boy, around 20 years ago, Nintendo took another chance with their leading star (back then it was normal). Nonogram’s, aka Hanjie Picross and Griddlers, are logic puzzles that create a simple image (recent variations have brought this type of game into the 3rd dimension). Mario’s Picross is probably the most […]

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 […]

Dollhouse coming to the Playstation 4, PC, Mac and Linux, Horror Fans Prepare
August 13th, 2015 Carl Williams Horror. This is a genre that has not exactly been able to take off with gaming. Sure, titles like Resident Evil are promoted as “survival horror” but there is not much “horror” to be had in that whole series (the dogs is one of the few scare moments I remember). Horror games are in a […]

Ruzar the Stone of Life to Resurrect First Person Dungeon Crawlers
July 11th, 2015 Carl Williams First person dungeon crawling games have been around since the early days of gaming (not as early as text adventures but still, a long time). For the most part, if a platform could display graphics, even those as basic as early computers such as the Color Computer, there is a good chance that there is […]

Update- Slain Successfully Funded on Kickstarter with Time to Spare
March 9th, 2015 Carl Williams Late last year we covered Slain, previously called 7 Towers, and how it was coming this year. The team behind Slain have since then put the game on Kickstarter and just recently successfully passed their minimum goal. Now Slain will finish its Kickstarter run in about 18 days so there is plenty of time to […]

Bandit Gaming: Fatal Fury Final Mixes the SNK Classic with Final Fight Brawling Plus More
February 23rd, 2015 Carl Williams For many, these types of releases are not worth their time since these releases use ripped sprites and music from the source material. For those readers I can safely say that Fatal Fury Final will probably not change your mind on the matter. Now, for those that are looking for something a little different, Fatal […]

New Game: Alice’s Mom’s Rescue Coming to Sega Dreamcast
January 6th, 2015 Carl Williams The Sega Dreamcast is a system that, for most retro gaming fans, should not have been discontinued so quickly. This is proven again and again every time a new game comes out for Sega’s final console- we are going on nearly a decade and a half since Sega pulled the plug. HuCast Games is one […]
