Things

(Time to read: 9 minutes) Whenever I find myself in a conversation about street racing games, it’s always just a matter of time before someone brings up Midnight Club. Usually it’s either “what happened to that series?” or “Midnight Club LA/3 is my favorite game and I miss it.” I also played it back in… Read More »Midnight Club: Nostalgia Damaged Edition

(Time to read: 4 minutes) What if you took Ace Combat, my favorite game series, turned up the arcadeness and made it a roguelite? You get Sky Rogue. Naturally, this quickly became one of my favorite games ever.

I’ve also never played… Read More »Indivisible is Certainly a Game

I guess it’s a… Read More »Tokyo Xtreme Racer: The Worst Best Racing Game Ever

(Time to read: 8 minutes) Nostalgia is dangerous. Never meet your heroes, they say. This game, like Ace Combat also did, appeared by random chance in my childhood for just long enough to make a lasting impression on me and then disappeared into the ether. Unlike Ace Combat, however, I never returned to it when… Read More »Crimson Skies: Nostalgic Road to Nowhere

(Time to read: 14 minutes) I… don’t know where to start with this one. I’ve been sitting in front of a blank page trying to write anything about this game for so long now. You must understand, I take notes when I play games so I can form more complete thoughts later, and I took… Read More »Excessive complaining about Need for Speed Heat
