Street Fighter II Turbo Longplay

Longplay footage of Street Fighter II Turbo for the SNES. I want to do a run on max difficulty but I figured I'd do a warm up on 6/8 stars. I'm a little rusty, was sloppy with my technique and way to reliant on hadoukens, but it could have gone worse.

Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance

It's time to keep the GBA Metroidvania train rolling. We started with Castlevania, then moved on to Metroid, and now it's time to make our way back to Dracula's castle. I was pleasantly surprised last year when I, sort of on a whim, decided to take a shot at Castlevania: Circle of the Moon on the Game Boy Advance. I had heard good things about the handheld titles in the series, but never actually took the time to play any of them. And that's a shame, because Circle of the Moon was outstanding. It was truly an exceptional example of just what the tiny but mighty GBA was capable of. It got me excited to dig into the other games in the genre I had missed from that console, both Metroid and Castlevania alike. I moved right along to Metroid: Zero Mission and while I wasn't as high on it as I was COTM, it was still a solid experience that was incredibly well designed and polished. So naturally, the next step in the progression was back to 'Vania with the next in that...

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - Part 2

Last week, we started our look at Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, one of 2025's most hyped games. E33 has cleaned up at every major gaming awards show, and for good reason. It features a unique and amazing world, a gripping story and spectacular soundtrack that has captivated millions of gamers. All of those things make for a great movie...but this isn't a movie, now is it. Here, we have gameplay to discuss. Did it live up to the high standard set by its narrative? Well, let's see. It may be French in origin, but E33 plays like a classic, turn-based JRPG. I talked a little bit about this last week, but it was so nice to see a game that played like this, at least a core level, receive the amount of reverence it has. It has the combat, the dungeons, the exploration, the pacing, all the hallmarks of the genre that those of us that grew up in the 90's came to know and love. You have turn based combat, a world map, tons of sidequests, all of the things that made these games so ...

College Slam

It's time to start yet another year with a look at an old sports title. And it's one that I never thought I probably would have never touched if I didn't dig it up at random. But first, a little bit about my general sports fandom. While I am definitely more nerd than jock, I've always been a huge sports fan. Whether it's as a fan of my pro teams, as a reporter covering local high school teams or as a competitor myself, sports have always been a major part of my life. I watch as many sports as I can, though I wish I had time for more. I love learning about players, speculating about what teams will do with their offseasons, tracking statistics and immersing myself in various aspects of various types of athletic competition. To me, the new year is a great time for sports, the NFL playoffs are starting, MLB's winter meetings are underway, the NHL season is in full swing and NCAA wrestling is coming back from its holiday break. It also tends to be a pretty decent t...
