Review – Resident Evil: Revelations
Back around when Resident Evil: Revelations was first released on the 3DS, some were hailing it as a return to horror (I have the receipts and everything). It's not that. It's not bad, either, but if this is only horror if you have a mortal fear of hickies.

Review – DuckTales 2
DuckTales is pretty great. Not just the cartoon, but the first NES game which I usually point to as a baseline for licensed platformers. It has unique mechanics partially informed by the subject matter. Duck Tales 2 is more of that. More of that and not much else.

Review – Slime Rancher
Slime Rancher is among the most successful cozy games in the niche, and for the most part, I love it. However, it's like a glass of milk; it's very enjoyable at first, but if you sit with it too long, it starts to smell and you don't want to drink it.

Review – Sparkster (SNES)
Rocket Knight Adventures remains my favourite game on the Genesis, so it’s heartening to see that Limited Run Games has a collection on the way. I preordered the Ultimate Edition because sometimes you have to spoil yourself. I love RKA, and what other opportunities will I have to really express that in the form of consumerism? But while I’m happy…

Review – Army Men: World War: Final Front
I'm still reeling from the punishment inflicted by Land Sea Air. However, I still had faith in the World War sub-series of Army Men. Thankfully, Final Front isn't nearly as bad as LSA, but that bar was set pretty low. Weirdly, this isn't actually the final game in the series.

Review – Final Fantasy VII Remake
If you know me, it might surprise you to hear that I actually like Final Fantasy VII. I was skeptical about a remake, and I still think it's lame Square Enix is splitting it into three parts? Does VII Remake suggest it was worth it? Pfft, no it does not.

Review – No More Heroes III
Bed of rice, I lay down and then nap it up. That's the good stuff. I think crowbar-induced amnesia is the only way I'd lose my love for the No More Heroes series. I mean, Travis Strikes Back was pretty close. Thankfully, No More Heroes III isn't that. Mostly.

Review – The Manga Works
I like to consider myself a writer. Sometimes. Not a manga writer, but I craft stories. Not right now, this... this is just conversational writing. But I still stay perched in front of my craft for unhealthy amounts of time each day, just like what is conveyed in The Manga Works.

Review – Star Fox
Star Fox and me, we go way back. I played it when I was very young, and I didn't care about the polygonal 3D graphics. At this point, its technologically antiquated, but that doesn't mean there isn't any value in playing it today.

Review – Army Men: Air Attack (Air Combat)
If someone tells me that there was a game in the Army Men series that they liked, I know it was probably this one. Air Attack borrows heavily from EA's Strike series, while transplanting it to a world of plastic soldiers. It's over pretty quickly, but it's still worth playing.
