Work it harder, do it better, makes us faster? Or: A guide to speedruns.

By Isaac Smith Gaming is a mainstream form of entertainment, like sports, or film, or even reading. It can build skills, tell stories, or just be fun, addictive, relaxing or exhilarating. It’s got its own history, its own culture, its own celebrities, its own EVERYTHING. I love telling people that, by the way. It’s the [...]

Retro Review: “FINAL FIGHT: STREETWISE” (2006, CAPCOM, PS2)

By Michael Mygind Released in 2006 by Capcom for the Xbox and PS2, Final Fight: Streetwise aimed to bank off the trend of 3D sandbox games such as Grand Theft Auto and its many copycats while trying to strike a nostalgic chord with fans of its definitive beat-em-up series, Final Fight.

Backlog Review: The Walking Dead: Season 2 Review

By Terry Randolph and Jake Rushing   TellTale has set the tone in interactive storytelling games; their games buckle players in tightly and promise to deliver a gripping, deep and personal story that not only serves as a game, but as an introspective reflection.

Retro Review: “Windjammers” (1994, Data East, Neo Geo MVS)

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. The game has six selectable characters, each with their own strengths and skill levels. Each character represents a certain country, with most characters looking like hulking [...]

Levels of Hell – Rusty Bucket Bay (“Banjo-Kazooie”)

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! The first installment had me spewing acid over the Raid on Sullust from Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, the thought of which still makes me boil [...]
