    Review – WCW vs. nWo: World Tour

    Zoey Handley / May 19, 2025 / No Comments

    I've been watching old WCW, usually in another window while I write. If nothing else, it adds a lot of context to AKI's first two N64 wrestling games. Now I know who all these muscular people are.

    Review – Suikoden I HD

    Patrick Hancock / May 4, 2025 / 5 Comments

    I have no nostalgia for Suikoden. I grew up hearing it was a good game (or, really, its sequel), so I was very intrigued at the idea of jumping into an HD remaster. The Suikoden games have quite the legacy behind them (even more so if you follow Aidan Moher on social media), but I never knew how much of…

    Review – Rendering Ranger: R2 Rewind

    Zoey Handley / March 20, 2025 / No Comments

    A ridiculously rare Super Famicom game is given new life in Rendering Ranger R2 Rewind. Well, not "new" life, but if you haven't played it, it's new, right?

    Book Cudgel – Worlds of Power: Bases Loaded II: Second Season

    Zoey Handley / January 8, 2025 / 1 Comment

    If you're like me, you might be wondering how Bases Loaded II: Second Season, a baseball game about baseball, could be adapted to a children's book. Well, the same as any normal baseball novel, I suppose. But the surprising part is that it's far better than a story about a killer robot.

    Book Cudgel – Worlds of Power: Mega Man 2

    Zoey Handley / December 18, 2024 / 2 Comments

    The first entry in a possibly ongoing series of articles looking at video game novelizations. To start off, we're looking at Scholastics young reader adaptation of Mega Man 2, a game that leaves some possibilities for storytelling. However, the author here seems to have taken most things literally and taken liberties in weird ways.

    Review – Clock Tower: Rewind

    Zoey Handley / November 30, 2024 / No Comments

    It's nice to have an official release of Clock Tower. I was hyped, but slept on its initial re-release. Having circled back around, I can finally scratch this classic Japanese horror title off my list. I really hate writing these excerpts because I don't know what information will get you to click.

    Review – Undercover Cops (Arcade)

    Zoey Handley / November 23, 2024 / No Comments

    Ever dream of a beat-'em-up by the Metal Slug crew? That actually happened. Undercover Cops was developed by Meeher, Akio, Susumu, and friends. You can totally tell. But while it absolutely looks the part and features their signature ridiculousness, it is, unfortunately, not the Metal Slug of belt-scrolling brawlers.

    Review – Vigilante 8

    Zoey Handley / November 20, 2024 / No Comments

    After Twisted Metal 2, the series went into a nosedive with the departure of Singletrac. There was no one to where the car combat crown. That is until Luxoflux stepped up with Vigilante 8, a game that is a lot like Twisted Metal but funkier and with dumber objectives.

    Review – Road Rash (32-Bit)

    Zoey Handley / November 13, 2024 / No Comments

    I first played Road Rash (32-Bit) on 3DO Interactive Multiplayer where it stuck with me. As far as Road Rash games go, this is probably the best in the series (if you don't count Road Rash 64, but why would you?). It's also incredibly '90s, which is essentially my comfort food.

    Review – Cool Riders

    Zoey Handley / October 9, 2024 / No Comments

    If you don’t look too closely, it looks like a bunch of thrown-together digitized sprites trying hard to look cool. Like Pit Fighter; exactly like Pit Fighter. But upon closer inspection, you realize that it isn’t just some ill-advised, thrown-together racing game. It knows exactly what it is. I still do not know what chaotic ritual conjured this game, but…
