The 90's were a great time to be alive, I'm thankful that I had my teenage years and early twenties during them. Had I known that I was living in one of the greatest eras...

I had a huge gap in my gaming experience when it came to SHUMPS, for those of you who don't know SHUMPS are "Shoot 'em Ups." I vaguely remember having a Gradius on my Super...

Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty is typically regarded as one of the worst in the Ratchet & Clank series, and it's clear why after playing it over the Holiday season. It is only set...

With The Last Jedi due to hit theatres very soon I decided to take a look at an older Star Wars game that no one ever seems to mention, good or bad; Star Wars: The...

Backwards compatibility may be getting dismissed by some for many it is a huge quality of life improvement that will absolutely get me playing more old games. The fact that these original Xbox games play...

For a few years, my PSP sat unloved and dusty near my computer, I would only charge it now and then to make sure the battery didn't fail. Other than that a sad Darth Vader...

Anyone who reads my Retro Reviews or articles on the site should know pretty well what a huge fan of survival horror I am. I attribute the creation of Resident Evil on the PlayStation for...

Let's get this out of the way; I'm a huge Kingdom Hearts fan through and through. However, I do see many flaws with the games that can't be overlooked, especially the original. This game manages...

Something I should get out of the way immediately is that Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back is one of my favorite games of all time. It's not number one or even number two but it's absolutely...
