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.

Review – Sparkster (Genesis)
Rocket Knight Adventures has long stood as my favourite game on the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. The sequels... exist. They're... fine. The Genesis and Super Nintendo versions are completely distinct from each other, but neither of them really capture the magic of the original. Within is the reasons why.

Review – Turok
If you were there for the early days of the N64, it was hard to miss Turok. The first-person shooter was still relatively new, and one that was all polygons? Even newer. There isn't much else to play, there's a dinosaur on the cover; welcome to Turok.

Review – Destruction Derby 64
I love a good demolition derby. The antiquated graphics and physics of Destruction Derby 64 may not seem like much these days, but back during the early 3D era, car destruction was still a novelty. But while it might be a tough sell today, its head-on racing is still pretty unique.

Review – Paperboy (N64)
I probably have too many soft spots, but I reserve one of them for the Paperboy series. While the original is best remembered, Paperboy for the N64 has been practically forgotten. However, I find that it has charm of its own to the point where it's worth checking out.

Review – Rampage 2: Universal Tour
It's sometimes the small things that make a sequel so much better than the original. Take Rampage 2, for example. Simply changing it so that lives actually have meaning and you can't just continue indefinitely makes the experience feel a lot more satisfying. Plus, you can still eat people off of toilets.
