So I've played the original Metroid games. Can't say I've finished all of them, just the 3rd (Super Metroid) and 4th (Metroid Fusion). "Then how the hell do you expect to review these games reliably? What the hell!? Are you turning into one of those half-a-fag game journalists who bitch about games being too difficult … Continue reading Metroid 1-4 (1987-2002; 2004; 2016) game series review

Phantasy Star I-IV (1988-1995) review
A couple months ago I felt this urge to go back to retro gaming. I don't mean retro PC, I don't mean downloading an emulated game on the PC. I mean actual old-school console gaming. But I found myself in a predicament. I used to own a Sega Genesis, and a decent game collection for … Continue reading Phantasy Star I-IV (1988-1995) review
Shadow Tactics: Blade of the Shogun (2016) review
Rated: 3.5 / 5 I question how much I actually enjoy stealth games. Aside from Thief I and II, I don't normally go out of my way to play these sorts of games. On the other hand, certain RPGs like Deus Ex, while not primarily a stealth game yet can be played as one, do … Continue reading Shadow Tactics: Blade of the Shogun (2016) review
System Shock (1994) and Quake (1996) review
So in celebration of cocksucking California passing bullet legislation, I figure I'd talk about the best defining first-person-shooters ever made, outside of Doom (made after Doom). Surely everyone has heard of Doom being the first major defining first person shooter game, which is still awesome to this day. True, Wolfenstein came before it, and was … Continue reading System Shock (1994) and Quake (1996) review
Thief: The Dark Project (1999) Gold edition review
Rated: 4 / 5 This is a game I've been interested in trying for years now. Back in the early 2000s, a few friends of mine tried to get me into it, but to no avail for a couple of reasons. 1.) Every time my mother or father had purchased a computer, it was never … Continue reading Thief: The Dark Project (1999) Gold edition review
Sonic Generations (2011) and Sonic Mania (2017) review
Sonic Generations Rated: 3 / 5 (good, but may be a while before I play it again, if ever) So I haven't played a Sonic the Hedgehog game ever since Sonic Heroes (2003) on the Nintendo Gamecube (GCN). Up until that point, I enjoyed virtually all the games found on the Sega Genesis, which is … Continue reading Sonic Generations (2011) and Sonic Mania (2017) review
The Witcher 3 (2015) review
Rated: 4.5 / 5 Exhausted. Weary. Done. Finished. I first played this game when it first came out; finished my first playthrough after roughly 80 hours. I enjoyed the experience, though I was glad to see it end. 3 years later, I got back into it again, knowing that there were expansions to play, updates … Continue reading The Witcher 3 (2015) review
Resident Evil 7 (2017) review
Rated: 2.5-3 / 5 (depending on my mood) Completely Tangent Intro So I was playing through The Witcher 3, with all the DLC installed. And after, I don't know, between 50-60 hours of playing, as good as that game is, all I could think was, "Goddamnit, isn't this fucking game over yet? How fucking long … Continue reading Resident Evil 7 (2017) review
Grand Theft Auto V review
Rated: 4/5* * = with some caveats and warnings that must be brought up So, first confession, I initially played this a few years ago on the PS3. At the time, I thought it was the best GTA game ever made. Granted, one could think that with any newly released GTA game, but I thought … Continue reading Grand Theft Auto V review
Wing Commander review
Rated: 2/5 So this PC version is from GOG.com, and uses DosBox. Well, this is a game that certainly shows its age from 1990, coming out 3 years before Doom, that had 360 degree movement. So in some respects, Doom is actually a step back in terms of gameplay compared to this game, but on … Continue reading Wing Commander review
