The Best Games I Played in 2023
I played a ton of great games this year. Some were better than others, and I wanted to revisit a few games. I also missed out on some fantastic games that I’ll have to look at next year. Much of the year consisted of wrestling games, shooters, and beat’em ups. I was working on a…
Tactics Ogre is One of the Best RPGs
The Ogre Battle Saga is divided into two sets of video games. The Ogre Battle games focus on grander stories about the big countries in the game’s world. Tactics Ogre focuses on the local conflicts and takes place on islands. The Tactics Ogre games tell more personal stories about the people who participate in war.…
A Review of the Wizardry Novel by James E. Reagen
Wizardry: The League of the Crimson Cresent is fine. It is a run-of-the-mill fantasy story where the hero is transported to another world and becomes the prophesized chosen one. The story is fun, but it left me with a handful of questions, some about the plot and one about the branding. I’ll get into this…
Sega Genesis Wrestling Games Ranked From Worst to Best
This was an interesting trip through the Sega Genesis library. I was expecting a few more wrestling games, but only five were released in North America. A few other arcade fighting games exist, but I wouldn’t count them as wrestling games. My original plan was to look at two additional games. I was going to…
WWF RAW on the Genesis Looks and Plays Great
WWF RAW on the Sega Genesis is a great-looking game. It still has that annoying tug-of-war control scheme that devolves into button mashing. Thankfully, this is the last time I have to discuss the controls. There is a lot to do in this game. You have plenty of game modes to keep you busy, and…
Saturday Night Slam Masters: The Best Arcade Wrestling Game
I like the SNES version of this game more than this one. They have the same basic arcade-style gameplay, but the SNES version is more fun. This is still a great version of the game. Saturday Night Slam Masters is an easy game to play. The game has little depth, but the over-the-top characters and…
WWF Royal Rumble: Hamstrung by a Bad Control Scheme
WWF Royal Rumble on the Sega Genesis looks good. The gameplay is still repetitive, and I don’t like the control scheme. The control scheme doesn’t ruin the game, but it is annoying. The bright spot in this game is the graphics. It is a good-looking game, even if it has flaws. This game looks close…
WWF Super WrestleMania Looks Worse on the Genesis
I’m going to play these games in order, unlike what I did with the SNES trilogy of games. WWF Super WrestleMania doesn’t look as good on the Genesis as it does on the SNES, and it uses the same button-mashing control scheme. I wouldn’t say that I like this game that much. I had a…
Diet LJN: The Brief Story of Flying Edge
Most collectors and video game historians know about LJN. They started as a toy manufacturer and had the rights to several licenses. Eventually, they got into video games and were purchased by Acclaim. Acclaim used LJN as a way to publish more games on the NES. This was when Nintendo had a very restrictive publishing…
The Command & Conquer Novel by Keith DeCandido is Better Then I Expected
When I started reading this, I wasn’t sure if I would like it. There were a lot of characters, and I wasn’t sure where this was going. I had played the game before but didn’t remember much about it besides aliens showing up. This book is based on the plot of Command & Conquer 3.…
