Roll a Six to Hadoken
Ever since the World Warriors’ first console outing on the Super Nintendo in 1992’s Street Fighter II, something always bugged me and, perhaps, it should also bother me that such a trivial matter has stuck to my brain for the past 17 years. In the game’s arcade mode, everything is innocent enough for the player, […]
My Gaming Story
Surprisingly, through social media contact, I was approached by a friend addition, that asked me if I would be willing to take the time to submit a short story to their site, based on my gaming story. I obliged and now Nintendo Guy & Mrs. Peach have my story posted on their site. You know, […]
Heroes in a Half Shell and Arcade Envy
Seeing as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are making their way back into the downloadable game spotlight on July 22, I am often reminded of how far consoles have come in terms of technology.

In this regard, an item such as Crystal Adventure should be a welcome addition to the Nintendo DS shop. For $3, the title aims to provide a portable, mobile phone […]
NES Review: Captain Planet and the Planteers
Looking back to being a 10-year-boy, I realize I put up with a ton of poor quality in the name of playing videogames. I clearly remember coasting through games, only to go back to them 10 years later and grimacing. Growing up, I can’t think of any game I wouldn’t play for at least 15 […]
3DS Review: Aero Porter
Aero Porter sticks players in on their first day on the job of sorting luggage at a low-key airport. A supervisor will pop text-based messages up throughout the game, but no real other characters are introduced to the game. The title is one that is light on “story” elements, but, rather, it is a game […]
