We’ve got a bit of a themed episode going this week! It’s all about the retro! From watching let’s plays of difficult to find games, to the decline of arcades (even in Japan – sniff), and a new, gorgeous console that will play your Game Boy games, retro gaming is…

Review: Cubixx (Nintendo Switch)

October 4, 2019
Arcade/arcade games/Laughing Jackal/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/sCubixx/Switch Review

Review by Matt S.  Qix is one of the all-time classic video game concepts. It’s as simple as drawing boxes on a screen while avoiding a randomly moving enemy and making sure that it doesn’t come into contact with the lines of your boxes before they’ve been completed. It’s an…

Review: Sayonara Wild Hearts (Nintendo Switch)

September 26, 2019
arcade games/Art Game/Indie/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/rhythm game/Sayonara Wild Hearts/Switch Review

Review by Harvard L. Simogo’s Sayonara Wild Hearts is a game which I can’t stop thinking about. On the surface it’s simple enough to enjoy – a music-based arcade game with pared-back mechanics suited well to short bursts, a dazzling graphic style of pinks and purples and a swathe of…

Arcade/arcade games/Nintendo Switch/pinball/Reviews/Star Wars Pinball/Switch Review/Zen Studios

Review by Nick H. The newly released Star Wars Pinball for the Nintendo Switch is an impressive collection of tables that serves to bring the entire package together in a different way than the usual offerings from Zen Studios. Some of those new ideas work better than others, but on…

Review: Assault Android Cactus+ (Nintendo Switch)

Arcade/arcade games/Assault Android Cactus+/Australia/dual-stick shooter/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Shooter/shooters/Switch Review

Review by Matt S.  This will surprise a fair few people, but I’m actually quite a big fan of dual stick shooters. From right back with Robotron 2084, right through to the likes of Geometry Wars, dual stick shooters have been my go-to for extreme twitch action. I’m terrible at…

Review: Timberman Vs. (Nintendo Switch)

May 7, 2018
arcade games/local multiplayer/Multiplayer/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Switch Review/Timberman/Timberman Vs

Review by Matt S.  The Nintendo Switch doesn’t need games like this in its library. An “enhanced” port of a PC port of an iOS game, Timberman is shallow, limited, pointless “entertainment”, with a ridiculous grind thrown in that tries to stretch the ten minutes of “fun” that you’ll get…

Review: SkyPeace (Nintendo Switch)

Arcade/arcade games/endless runner/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/SkyPeace/Switch Review

Review by Matt S.  This is going to be one of the shortest reviews I ever write, because there is so little to this game. But then again it’s going to set you back $Aus1.50 (or equivalent in other parts of the world), and as the saying goes, you get…

Review: Space Invaders Extreme (PC)

Review by Matt S.  Space Invaders Extreme is a masterpiece of modern arcade gameplay. Originally released ten years ago on the DS and PSP to mark the 30th anniversary of the greatest arcade game of all time (and yes, I genuinely believe Space Invaders is as good as it gets),…

Review: Battalion Commander (Sony PlayStation 4)

Arcade/arcade games/Battalion Commander/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews

Review by Brad L. There are some games that play brilliantly regardless of the platform they’re released on. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is as good on mobile as it ever was on PC. Mini Metro likewise. XCOM works as well on PC and console as it does…

arcade games/Guac' a Mole/Indie/Nintendo Wii U/Reviews/Wii U Review

Who doesn’t like Whack A Mole? One of the truly classic arcade games, Whack A Mole gives players a little hammer to thump moles on the head as they pop up out of the machine? The goal is as simple as tallying up as many points as possible as a…
