As 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 MoreHow do you create a follow-up to one of the greater successes of the video game industry? If The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask is any indication, you reuse much of the same assets and launch it less than two years after its predecessor. Here’s the kicker: you reimagine everything…
Read MoreFor all the critical acclaim Sonic 3 & Knuckles gets, it’s a surprisingly hard game to track down digitally. The separate games that comprise the said title, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic & Knuckles, aren’t always available on the same download services or lack the technology required to make…

We first started covering these games a year ago, with the likes of Yakiniku Bugyou and Rapid Angel, but now the big kahuna is here. Yes, the publisher’s most requested game, Tomba!, has finally…
Read MoreDefender of the Crown has been around for a very, very long time, in plenty of different forms, right back to the Commodore Amiga. Though the initial developer, Cinemaware, went bankrupt, it was since acquired and the new company, Cinemaware Inc, went as far to modernise the game on PS2…
Read MoreStar Fox 64 hit the 3DS not long ago, bringing with it some new voice actors, fancier visuals, and more splendour all around. However, the original on the Virtual Console is still a very competent package. It might not pack the same three dimensional “punch” but the core gameplay should…
