Atari is considering a modern Lynx reproduction, but the cost isn’t there yet
I recently had a conversation with Atari’s Director of Sales and Marketing, David Lowey. Before long, we got into the subject of Atari’s re-entry into hardware and cartridge production. As the Atari Lynx is something that I have a soft spot for, I had to ask if there were any plans for it. According to him, Atari is very interested,…

Review – Lucky & Wild
Mixing driving with lightguns is so obvious it's surprising that Lucky & Wild is one of the few full-body arcade games to do it. But did it do the concept justice or squander its amazing idea?

Review – Majyūō: King of Demons
I hate admitting that I haven’t heard of a game before, but I can’t claim to have known of King of Demons (known as Majyūō in its homeland). To be fair, it was previously only released in Japan on the Super Famicom, and now commands a hefty price tag on the collector’s market. As part of their recent reissue of…

Let The Old Star Fox Lie
Has it really been ten years? A whole decade since the last Star Fox game was inflicted upon the masses. I’ve seen people on social media actually celebrating the 10th anniversary of that game. Something about Fox being in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie reignited something in me. A desire to write about video games. Specifically about the Star Fox…

Review – Parasol Stars: The Story of Bubble Bobble III
The Bubble Bobble lore is hard to follow. Bub and Bob keep going from bubble-spewing dinosaurs to rotund children and back again, but maybe it’s also their kids, or maybe it’s their girlfriends. Sometimes they’re dragons, and sometimes they aren’t. To make it more confusing, there are two “The Story of Bubble Bobble IIIs.” There’s 1991’s Parasol Stars: The Story…

Experience the story of Resident Evil 2 in a bizarre new way in this totally off base Chinese comic
Sometimes mutation is the sincerest form of flattery. If something doesn’t inspire some sort of expansion or iteration, chances are it wasn’t that interesting to begin with. This ability to riff on itself has been key to Resident Evil’s continued success as a franchise. Not only has each game in the series found a way to spin the DNA of…

Brick-breaker Caromble is out of Early Access today
Ready to hit the bricks? Get it? I bet nobody has used that as a tagline for a block-breaker before. Maybe Caromble should. It’s out of Early Access today on PC, does that make it too late for a tagline? That’s right, Caromble is a brick-breaker in the vein of Arkanoid or BreakOut, a genre almost as old as video…
