I liked the first book better than this one. Doom: Hell on Earth is the second book in this series. The book covers some of the events of Doom II but is its own story as it takes the loose story in a different direction. There are more characters in this book; it blends inContinue reading “Doom: Hell on Earth Expands the Game’s Story For Better or Worse”

Fight, Magic, Items by Aidan Moher is an Objective look at the History of JRPGs
Fight, Magic, Items by Aidan Moher is a wonderful history of Japanese Role-Playing Games (JRPG). The book mainly follows two series, Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy, as they shaped the genre as we know it. Other series are talked about, but these two are the main focus. Aidan divides the book into periods. While someContinue reading “Fight, Magic, Items by Aidan Moher is an Objective look at the History of JRPGs”

LJN Made a Good Game, The Punisher
The Punisher is a rail shooter. It is similar to some arcade games like the Terminator 2 game. I would have said Area 51, Virtua Cop, or House of the Dead, but in this game, the screen constantly scrolls to the right. I think this is one of the better games that uses the MarvelContinue reading “LJN Made a Good Game, The Punisher”
Best Games on the NES
The Nintendo Entertainment System has a decent size library. Between 700 and 800 games were released for the console, depending on what you want to include. There were several unlicensed games made for the NES and some region-specific games. I wouldn’t say I like all of the games, and I’m sure no one likes everyContinue reading “Best Games on the NES”
Bart Simpsons Escape from Camp Deadly isn’t Great | Yokoi Corner
The Simpsons games on the console aren’t very good. The Arcade game was the only one I remember being fun to play. The others were more frustrating, and I remember playing them for a bit before going back to something else. The Game Boy games are new to me. I wasn’t sure what to expectContinue reading “Bart Simpsons Escape from Camp Deadly isn’t Great | Yokoi Corner”
Lemon Cake is an Enjoyable game | Video Game Review
Lemon Cake is an enjoyable game that plays like a relaxed version of Overcooked. The characters aren’t anything special, but the gameplay and graphics are good for a game like this. In this game, you run a bakery that you randomly walked into. A ghost tells you about the place and walks you through theContinue reading “Lemon Cake is an Enjoyable game | Video Game Review”
The Pokemon Trading Card Game is disappointing | Yokoi Corner
This does a good job of merging the mainline Pokemon games with the trading card game. I think this was a good choice because it lent some familiarity to what you’re expected to do. I remember playing the trading card game when I was younger. It came near the end of my interest in themContinue reading “The Pokemon Trading Card Game is disappointing | Yokoi Corner”
Ms. Pac-Man is a Great Port of a Classic Arcade Game | Yokoi Corner
Ms. Pac-Man is a great game to port to the Game Boy. The graphics and gameplay are solid. It is an excellent port that emulates the arcade experience quite well. This is a well-made port of Ms. Pac-Man. Well, it isn’t as good as the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive port; it is a very good one.Continue reading “Ms. Pac-Man is a Great Port of a Classic Arcade Game | Yokoi Corner”
Doom: Knee Deep in the Dead is a wonderful novel | Book Review
How do you novelize Doom? A game where the developers famously didn’t care about the story. Well, you take the bare bones of a story from the game, add some more characters, and give the main character more motivation and backstory. It did take some time to get going, but this is a fun book!Continue reading “Doom: Knee Deep in the Dead is a wonderful novel | Book Review”
