Review – ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron
I have to stop taking the phrase “not as good as the first one” as meaning “not worth playing.” I have had Toejam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron for about as long as I’ve owned my Genesis, but I don’t think I ever completed a single level. I just wasn’t sure it was worth it, especially when just playing…

Review – Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate
I got to meet my heroes recently, The Brothers Chaps. Well, not meet them, but communicate over email. That might be the only way, since I have the suspicion that they don't exist outside the internet. Their corporeal form is entirely hearsay to me. Anyway, here's Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate.

Review – Castlevania X: Rondo of Blood
As a fan of the Castlevania series, it might be surprising that I've only now finally gotten around to beating Rondo of Blood. I had even completed Dracula X years before, so figure that one out. Now that I've finally consummated with it, here's what I think.

Review – Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
I stopped following the Resident Evil series after the disappointment that was Resident Evil 5. I didn't stop caring, though, so I was happy to see it return to horror. And Resident Evil 7 is a good time, just, you know, barring a few problems I had with it.

Review – Wolfenstein: The Old Blood
Nazis are easily some of the most fun-to-kill bad guys in video games. This goes back well before Wolfenstein 3D, but the series has really run with it. Wolfenstein: The Old Blood is a step back from the tech Nazis of The New Order but feels weirdly fresh.

Review – Signalis
The survival horror genre was reasonably long-lived but eventually went to where all dead genres go: the indie and alternative markets. Very rarely does one arrive from the big budget space, and if it does, it's a remake. Case in point, here's Signalis, which takes inspiration from survival horror of old.

Review – Mutant Football League
Football is the dumbest of sports. Now that I have your attention, I don't really like football. I've tried. But even the blitziest of Blitzes didn't grab my goat horns. As it turns out, there is a way to get me to play football. Mutant Football League taught me.

Review – Cult of the Lamb
Not only will you get a review of Cult of the Lamb, you'll also get to hear about my family's adjacency and weird run in with an actual scary cult, the Ant Hill Kids. I'm not sure that many critics out there could really provide you with that perspective.

Review – Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader
Star Wars and I have a rocky relationship. Had, I should say, it's over now. But back in the day, I was all about that galaxy far, far away. Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader hit before disillusionment set in, but how will I look on it today?

Review – Goldeneye 007 (N64)
Goldeneye 007 is a certifiable classic. It was a phenomenon back when it released. However, for all the things it did extremely well, a lot of it hasn't aged favourably. If any game needs an HD remaster, it's this one. Unfortunately, it looks like we just barely missed out on one.
