Castlevania is hands down one of my favorite game series ever. As time goes by, I find myself constantly wanting to go back to these games, specifically the 2D entries, and I wanted to do this again here in the year 2026, chronicling my time along the way with reviews of each game I play. The goal is to play through all three of the GBA entries, followed by all three of the DS entries. Starting of course with the…
There’s something oddly appealing about playing a game in which the consensus is that it’s not very good. My main draw to MindsEye was admittedly this phenomenon. I bought a physical copy of the game months ago on sale, thinking to myself that maybe it’d be fun to experience one day. Well April 1st, 2026 was that day, and no, I wasn’t fooling myself. I really did decide to play through the whole game. Here’s how…
Music video games, for me, have always been about experiencing music in new and interesting ways. The Rock Band franchise has allowed that possibility over the past several years. I can honestly attribute most of my more recent musical obsessions to the fine folks at Harmonix and the delightfully eclectic setlists that they’ve pieced together in their time. Rock Band 3 has again taken music gaming to a whole new…
**Note: Please keep the following song on a loop through the duration of your reading. Thank you, and enjoy the review. Have you ever wondered about the specifics of the miracle called child birth? Have your school's health classes, or your very own--formerly trusted--parents been too embarrassed to properly educate you on this matter? You don't have to live in ignorance any longer! From Stegersaurus Games comes the…
It’s no secret that classic video game franchises have been riding a wave of rejuvenation recently. NBA Jam is the latest classic to be revitalized with the jump to current generation consoles. EA has taken over the NBA Jam name at this point, but you probably wouldn’t be able to notice a change just by playing the game. NBA Jam achieves the same spirit and unrelenting excitement of the original games, but not…
Nintendo’s darling franchise is back, and this time in intergalactic fashion—again. Super Mario Galaxy 2 is essentially a leaner and meaner iteration of its predecessor. Nintendo took every part of the original Mario Galaxy that may have felt like it was slowing the player down, and streamlined it. On top of that, all new gameplay mechanics are thrown into a scary number of ambitiously designed “galaxies”.…
I just found this old CoD 4 review I wrote hangin' around on Gamespot, so enjoy it (or not)! SPOILER WARNING: Click here to reveal hidden content. This game contains awesomeness. Call of duty 4: Modern Warfare is a game people will be talking about for a long time. It is an amazing game that is also a breath of fresh air from the recent "halo style" shooters that have become so popular. Not to say that there haven't…
Anyone who knows what Rush is about, knows that Neil Peart is without a doubt one of the greatest drummers alive today, Alex Lifeson can play the absolute hell out of a guitar, and Geddy Lee has a truly unique and captivating voice. All these things in combination make Rush unlike any other band in existence. In terms of consecutive platinum albums, Rush currently sits in fourth place among rock bands behind the…

The original Secret of Monkey Island series is a worthy set of games to make a follow up to. Ever since the original release of the series in 1990, people have fallen in love with Guybrush Threepwood and his nemesis LeChuck. The previous Monkey Island games have gotten so much praise that Telltale Games decided a new follow up series was necessary. Telltale’s attempt to renew the series was an ambitious project that…

The release of Pearl Jam's "Ten" on the Rock Band Store is an amazing addition to the ever growing collection. It is a special treat for fans of Pearl Jam or fans of this album specifically. The versions that were released were actually the remastered and rerecorded versions of the songs that were released with the albums reissue. Ten is easily Pearl Jam's most well known album and for good reason. There is a wide…
After highly anticipating this game since its announcement, I feel really good about having finally experienced the wonder that is Prince of Persia. There are a load of things I liked about the game and a few things I didn’t like so much. Here’s what those things are: Praise dialogue First off, I want to talk about the dialogue. The writing in this game is some of the best writing I have experienced in a video game.…
Intro I recently decided to give this game a try after hearing (at least mostly) good things via internet reviews and such. Before playing this game I had no idea there was a web comic about Strong Bad and his zany crew of misfits. Honestly the first time I saw this game on the Wii shop Channel, I said “Well that looks stupid”. But after giving it a chance, even as someone who has never seen the source material, I…
