May 18, 2017 by Lucas Kelleher in game reviews

Nintendo’s latest Zelda breaks so many of the series' conventions, and yet feels more like the original Zelda than any of its sequels to date.

April 08, 2015 by Lucas Kelleher in game reviews, retrospective

In 1990, Dr. Mario was released simultaneously for the NES and Game Boy. But how does the classic puzzler stack up today?

Donkey Kong (Game Boy) review

December 21, 2014 by Lucas Kelleher in game reviews, retrospective

The Game Boy Donkey Kong is a deceptively large game disguised as a remake, 101 levels of ambitious puzzle/platforming action.

The Amazing Spider-Man review

October 14, 2014 by Lucas Kelleher in game reviews, retrospective

I was a Marvel Comics kid growing up, and Spider-Man was my first favorite superhero. I have fond memories of The Amazing Spider-Man, but is it worth going back to revisit this 1990 Game Boy “classic”?

September 11, 2014 by Lucas Kelleher in retrospective, game reviews

Donkey Kong Country is one of my favorite games of all time, so intensely nostalgic, it’s almost painful. Perfect for our first review.
