Kabuki: Quantum Fighter review
Scott finds himself in the body of a kabuki performer that attacks with his hair. Why? It was 1990. Why not?

Casino Kid review
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to play a poker or blackjack game that feels a lot like a JRPG in the vein of Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy? If so, you're in luck because Sofel provides exactly that in its overlooked NES…

Pooyan review
Pooyan is one of those games that only ends when you die, which means, whatever you do, your children will be devoured by wolves. Grim!

10-Yard Fight review
10-Yard Fight's primitive presentation and mechanics are more detrimental to the game than favorable.

Kick Master review
With a name like Kick Master, you pretty much know exactly what you’re going to get.

Blades of Steel review
Grab a couple controllers, a couple of drinks, and a couple of good buds and spend an evening working on that slapshot. You won’t regret it.

Comix Zone review
Comix Zone, a three-issue miniseries that sadly never became an ongoing title.

There are only so many times you can listen to the Can-Can while your precious lemmings are murdered.

Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move review
Yet another 3DS eShop puzzler that comes out of nowhere and is tons of fun.

Metro: Last Light review
With every journey to the surface, the Moscow skyline is presented as something awe-inspiring yet imposing, and yet it is only ever seen through the cracked visor of a gas mask – a visor that you must frequently, manually wipe clean of…

Astro Robo Sasa review
Flying with weapon recoil is an interesting idea that has now been used and never needs to be revisited. Thanks, Astro Robo Sasa.

What sets Commando apart from its contemporaries is the sheer intensity of the action

Vay review
And then, right in the middle of all of that are light-hearted elements such as a horribly flatulent fairy who propels you across an ocean with her gas, a random encounter bull-man called "Retardotaur" and random townspeople who break the…

So hey, how's that Mappy Championship Edition game coming along, Namco? ... Namco...?

Zeno Clash II review
It's bigger, badder, and WTFier, but it still needs some fine-tuning.

When local woman Anna Graham is found strung up to a tree and completely gutted, FBI agent Francis York Morgan (York, for short) is called to the little mountain hamlet of Greenvale to investigate. Greenvale is no ordinary town, which is…

Labyrinth X review
Trial and error so tedious, it even takes the gleam off barely-covered anime tits.

Captain Commando review
Not only was blood removed from the game, but the boss named "Blood" got his name changed to the less-intimidating "Boots" (to reflect his kick-heavy offense).

E.V.O.: The Search for Eden review
E.V.O.: The Search for Eden really shouldn’t be fun. It’s an Action-RPG with almost no redeeming qualities, save for its one highly enjoyable system of evolution. The developers seem to have made the game entirely dependent on that…

Gargoyle's Quest II review
Released towards the end of the NES’ reign, Gargoyle’s Quest 2 was largely overlooked, in part because the original Game Boy title that preceded it was not exactly a household name.
