By Michael Mygind Windjammers (or Flying Power Disk in Japan), published by Data East in 1994 for the NEO GEO MVS arcade, is basically air hockey with a Frisbee.

By Marshall Garvey Welcome to the second installment of Levels of Hell, the article series where we delve into the most hated, excruciatingly difficult stages in video game history!

Alien: Isolation DLC Review #1 – Crew Expendable
By Marshall Garvey Welcome all to the first installment of my Alien: Isolation DLC reviews! As you may know, I’ve vouched heavily for Sega and Creative Assembly’s crack at interstellar survival horror here at LTG. Even as someone who notoriously doesn’t buy new games often (if ever), I chose to treat myself to it […]
A Lost Link to the Past
By Patrick Johnson As I was reading an article last night about why Link went to go find Navi in Majora’s Mask, I found myself diving into something really complex and just a wee bit confusing with the Ocarina of Time/Majora’s Mask timeline.
