Review – Ganbare Goemon: Uchū Kaizoku Akogingu
Now that I have your attention, let's talk about Goemon's first visit to the OG PlayStation. Uchū Kaizoku Akogingu certainly looks the part. It's got that weird style. But something in its heart is just not right.

Review – Feudal Bros. – Tonosama #1
Hungry for some more Bakage? Feudal Bros. - Tonosama #1 brings all the dumb you need. Dumb characters. Dumb themes. Dumb design. You can't go wrong, unless you can.

Review – Duke Nukem: Time to Kill
A spin-off of the Duke Nukem series, maybe. Time to Kill lifts heavily from Tomb Raider to create a game that isn't terrible, but has learned all the wrong lessons from its feminine counterpart.

Review – Stray Children
I'll always show up for a game by Yoshiro Kimura, creator of, among other things, Chulip. But with such high expectations, is it even possible for me to be satisfied? Yes. Of course. Don't be so black and white about things.

Review – Absolum
Before I completely gush about Absolum for approximately 3000 words (grab the popcorn for this one), we’ve got to set the stage by talking about 2020’s Streets of Rage 4. Developed by Lizardcube, Guard Crush, and Dotemu, the revival of Sega’s classic beat-’em-up series rode an impeccably fine line of casual arcade fun and technical depth. The result was a…

Review – Hotel Barcelona
There's a lot to love about Suda51 and Swery. For example, No More Heroes and Deadly Premonition. So, what happens when you put them together? What happens when you form a game designer supergroup? Hotel Barcelona, apparently! Unfortunately.

Review – Stranglehold
Ever watched Hard Boiled? I haven't. But while Stranglehold is billed as something of a sequel to that movie, I'm not sure knowledge of its plot is really necessary. Regardless, we all love firefights full of slow motion and rib-breaking dives.
