I know, I know. This isn't next on the alphabetical list, nor is it on the list at all. But it's Halloween! And what is Halloween without a scary as shit game?
A lot of you have probably heard of the Clock Tower series of games. Most of you probably played the first one for the original Playstation. But in all reality, that wasn't the first one at all. Clock Tower was originally released for the Super Famicon (Japanese Super Nintendo), and it wasn't ported to the states at the time because they believed Americans would shit themselves in fear. In fact, the original Clock Tower didn't come to the states...

Well, my vacation from platformers was short lived. And after playing this, I desperately need another one.
During the console wars of the 90's, every console had to have a mascot. Everyone knows the Sega systems had Sonic the Hedgehog and Nintendo had Mario, but what you may not have known is that even game producers had to have mascots. Sunsoft, known for mostly its shitty franchise licensed games, had to have one of their own. And that is why I am having to review the pile of guano known as Aero the Acro-bat.
We start the game off in a circus, with our furry rodent in spandex bouncing off trampolines and riding unicycles...

Real Games - Aero Fighters
Finally, I get to play something other than platformers! And it's a vertical shooter, which are one of my favorite genres. Unfortunately, Aero Fighters is a pretty lackluster addition.
Aero Fighters, also known as Sonic Wings in Japan, doesn't have much of a story. Actually...it doesn't really have a story at all. I don't have any sort of information on what is taking place in this game, other than dodging and shooting. I played through this game twice with different characters in hopes of a plot, but there is none to be found. But who needs a story?
So we start off by picking...

Real Games - Adventures of Yogi Bear
Finally! The last of the "Adventure of.." games, and the only one that doesn't have a "the" in the title.
I'm just going to come out and say it, I have never liked Yogi Bear. In fact, I don't like the majority of so called classic cartoons. When I was at the right age for these cartoons to leave their mark, I was watching Thundercats and Transformers. If I was born just one or two years earlier, I would probably have a completely different outlook on these type of cartoons. Why am I ranting about cartoons that I don't like? Because the Super Nintendo loved to destroy these franchises with really...

As you can see, a lot of changes have been made. Some of you may be wondering what the deal is with the Real Games tag in most of the posts. Personally, I found the organization of this site pretty crappy, so I added the Real Games tag to my reviews, and left everything else alone. I also put the tag in the labels as well.
Now you can find the games through the blog archive or label sections a lot easier without having to sift through non-game related rants...like this one. I'm still working on it though, and if I can find something better, I'll try it out.
Thanks for sticking with the site while I try to find the style that works be...

God damn this game has a long title. Did it really need the "adventures of" title as well? I just have this and Yogi bear left, and then I'm done with these damn adventures of games.
Going in to this game, I had never even heard of Tin Tin before. Apparently, this franchise is popular as hell in France. From comic strips to live action and animated movies, Tin Tin has been in everything. So, of course it has a Super Nintendo game. The game is actually based off of a movie, that is based off of a book, that was originally based on the comic strip. As confusing as that is, the game surpasses that with...

You know what? I'm getting tired of all these "The adventure of.." games, and I still have two more after this one. What's even worse is that this one is about Rocky and Bullwinkle. Ugh...
The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle and Friends was a cartoon series that lasted from 1959 to 1964, and was a hit for both children and adults. The humor mainly revolved around the use of puns, but just like the Addams Family, I was born 20+ years too late to give a shit. I watched the reruns when I was a kid, because I needed to kill 30 minutes between Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and X-Men. You know, good cartoons. ...

Okay, not really. I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to be making some changes to the layout over the next few days, so don't freak out if something isn't working right. It's mostly going to be small things that bother me, so don't expect a complete make over.
For example, if you look at the comments below, you will now see a Reply button. This is so we can respond to each other without getting confused. It's nothing huge, but the lack of a reply button has annoyed me ever since I started this blog.
I'll probably change the color scheme up and maybe do something with the slider, it's a tad bit big for my liking. If you guys have any suggestions, let me know here so I can try to implement them. Or if you would like to see more in my reviews, tell...

Is it a soccer game? Is it a platformer? Well, it's a little of both.
The Adventures of Kid Kleets, or Soccer Kid in Europe, is an interesting game that combines soccer tricks and your typical platform style game. The world cup has been stolen and destroyed by aliens, and it is your job to travel the world to find these pieces. In this game, everyone hates soccer players, including robots and small rodents. Their one mission in life is to flat out murder you and your ball.
We start the game off and OH GOD. What the fuck? Kid Kleets looks like the killer ventriloquist doll that is used in all of those shitty horror movies. Eh...okay...
