I recently picked up an N64 lot, and it included an Everdrive v2.5. It looked terrible. It had been hand painted a bunch of times, the cutout on the top was done really poorly, and it felt cheap. The internals rattled around in the case. It worked though! Here’s a quick gallery of my repair […]
Robocraft Alpha
Robocraft is currently in an alpha state, so anything said here is likely to change in time. Like a double cheeseburger with bacon and hot sauce, Robocraft is a game of instant gratification or crippling regret. Which of the two you experience is as much about how well you build your robot, as it is […]
Games, And the Need to Finish Them
The Steam winter sales was another round of me buying a bunch of games for really cheap. Cheap enough in fact that it’s easy to buy way more games than you have time to play. I decided that I should try and rectify that in a couple ways. I’m going to put more work into games before […]
Zelda: A Link Between Worlds First Impressions
Zelda: A Link Between Worlds is set in the same world, and with much of the same characters as A Link To The Past (LttP) of SNES fame. As my favourite Zelda game of all time, it’s no surprise that I was excited to see Nintendo finally make a proper sequel. LttP captured my heart […]
Love, A Tiny Platformer That’s Better Than You Expect
Love+ is a tiny, charming platforming game with a pay-what-you want price tag from indie developer Fred Wood. It’s a short game, only taking me roughly 20 to 30 minutes to play through it’s 11 levels, but it’s really worth seeing. The controls are fast and precise, but because there is a lack of keybindings […]
VVVVVV: The Name of the Game
You will understand the name, VVVVVV, when you play the game or watch a video. VVVVVV shows an initial load screen that is a direct copy of the loading screen from old Commodore 64 games. The screen flashes all colours, and it has the exact same blue colour and font for “Loading…” Suffice to say, […]
Nimbus is Gravity Done to Perfection
Nimbus is a 2.5 platforming/puzzle/racing game. The graphics are very crisp and clean, and have a high degree of polish. All the objects and pick-ups are easy to spot, easy to recognize, and serve the game perfectly. You control an airship of sorts, that has no way to self-propel itself, so you glide around using […]
Spectraball Feels Like Rolling Through Milk
Spectraball is an indie marble platforming game developed by Shorebound Studios, and released in Oct 2008. I like games like this. I am a huge fan of indie puzzle games like this. Armadillo Run, Switchball, Pontifex/Bridge Construction Set, Marble Blast, Nimbus, to name a few of my favs. This game could be compared directly to Switchball and Marble Blast, as […]
Rock Band Kicks Ass, And Breaks Pedals
Rock band kicks serious ass. I thought the game was good fun when I started playing it a while back, but I didn’t see myself getting into it. I played guitar mainly because drums were too hard. I got pretty decent at guitar, playing a bunch of songs on expert, but the real hard ones […]
