Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda is a game franchise that has over the years developed into a unique formula, many times emulated and rarely (or never, depending on your perspective) bettered. There’s a reasonable case to be made that Darksiders comes close to Nintendo’s green-dressed hero, but for all the…
Read MoreAh, arcade shooters. Who doesn’t love the feel of dodging devious bullet patterns and firing streams of bullets whilst reliving the ‘80s? Alas, not all games of the era were able to recreate this thrill successfully. With a title like Chopper I, it seems the developers were more focused on…
Read MoreSpy Vs. Spy is a blast right back to my childhood. The antics of white spy and black spy in their comic series (first started in 1961!) never failed to be amusing, and the fact that so many years later it’s still being referenced in shows like The Big Bang…
Read MoreAs I’ve already mentioned, I hate Spelunky. But it’s a great game. Don’t take my distaste for the soul-crushing difficulty as anything other than personal opinion – this is a really well made game and most people are going to like this one. Part of the appeal of the game…

Read MoreThere’s not much variety to “old school action game” Johnny Kung Fu, but what’s there is fun at first. If only developer UFO Interactive Games could have been bothered to create more of it. Johnny Kung Fu’s premise is basically Mario vs. Donkey Kong’s, stolen wholesale. But thankfully, the short…
Read MoreFans of Sega’s digital re-releases, rejoice – everyone’s favourite flying purple jester is making a comeback. Sega announced via its blog today that the classic Saturn game, NiGHTS Into Dreams, would be re-released on digital platforms this fall. The date of this announcement is also quite fitting. The original game is…
Read MoreCthulhu Saves The World is a parody-RPG classic. There is absolutely no denying that. The game is worth buying to support the developer for the promotional video alone. You’ll be able to watch it after the break – I suggest you take the time to do so. You’ll laugh yourself…
Read MoreMonkeyPaw has been bringing various PlayStation One titles to the PlayStation Network for a while now.
