Take today’s game, Solomon’s Key 2 Fire ‘n Ice, a title that is a NES original by Tecmo (who were better known at this time for […]

Review: Lode Runner X on Android
June 29th, 2014 Carl Williams Bandit Gaming is a term we use to describe games that are not endorsed by the publisher in some form.

GBA Platforming Underdogs Six Pack
June 15th, 2014 Carl Williams This post was originally made available on Gaming on Nintendo on July 7th, 2013: The premise for this article is that it could not be a huge movie success license, made by Nintendo (so no Mario/Wario/Kirby/Donkey Kong/Metroid) and it had to be a 2D side scroller that was pretty much ignored on the shelves.

New Game: Shadowcrypt Mashes Zelda II and Castlevania into New PC Game
May 26th, 2014 Carl Williams 2D Side scrolling action games are an endangered species on consoles, arguably the birthplace of this genre. That is fact, for proof just look at the lack of this genre on the store shelves at the local game store.
