Writing a review for this has been difficult. It's not a bad game, but it also gives me very little material to work with. I beat the game two days ago, and I am just now getting around to writing something.
Battletoads & Double Dragon: The Ultimate Team is a beat 'em up that combines Rare's popular Battletoads franchise and the classic Technos Japan duo, Double Dragon. Unfortunately, most of this game was made by Rare, and it shows. It is still a decent game, but it could have been so much better.
When starting the game, we are introduced to the characters and story through a really good cut scene. The Dark...

Got my new monitor in today, and it is a lot bigger than I expected. We're talking original X-Box huge. I also went out with the wife, ate some delicious fajitas, and then we went to see True Grit. Excellent day all around. That is, of course, until I had to play this dumb ass game.
Okay...maybe not XBOX huge. But pretty damn close.
Battle Grand Prix is one of the most poorly designed racing games that I have ever seen. You know that horrible vertical split screen crap some racing games do when you are playing two player? For some stupid reason, the entire game is played through this view. So what...

300 Followers! You know what that means? It means that today's post is about having 300 followers, and how I don't have to do a review.
So yeah, I have 300 followers. I don't like the term followers, you are not sheep. Each and every one of you are true bros. Therefore, I have 300 friends. You are more than a number to me. I appreciate every comment, and I would like to thank you all for sticking around. Here's to another fast 100 friends so I can get another break from playing crappy games!
On to other business, I am still updating the list page, but there are a lot of damn games. I also changed my comments section as I'm sure you have all noticed by now. I'm also going to work on the faq and probably add another page for something. Still trying to decide if...

I really did not want to play this game today. I kept thinking about the name, and how generic it sounds. However, when I finally dug through all of my games to find it...I was delightfully surprised to see the Super Scope label on the cartridge. Fuck yeah, I finally get to use my big ass bazooka peripheral.
Before I begin, I have to bitch about the Super Scope. Being wireless is awesome, but 6 AA batteries is complete bullshit. Anyway, Battle Clash is one of the very few first person shooters made for the Super Nintendo. It is also one of the very few Super Scope games to ever be released. There are...

Hope you all had a good Christmas, because it's back to business as usual for me. And by business, I mean playing crappy games.
Not only is Battle Cars a generic name, it's also a generic game. It tries to disguise itself as some ultra violent game similar to that of the movie Death Race 2000...but in all reality, it's simply a racing game. Yeah, you have weapons, and yes, you can blow other vehicles up. However, if you want to beat this game, you need to focus on the racing and ignore everything else.
Why did I reference this movie over the 2008 remake? Cause it's all about that 70's bush.
Starting off, we are...

(I know it's not Christmas, but I'm not going to be posting for the next couple of days, and I doubt anyone would be reading them anyway. Also, don't forget to turn your Adblockers off for the new domain address. I couldn't figure out why half of my crap was missing.)
Merry Christmas! And to those of you who find that offensive, go fuck yourself AND your happy holidays. I don't care whose birthday it is, or what funky voodoo ritual was done thousands of years ago. Christmas is for getting presents, eating good food, and being with family. And for some of us, it's also a time to play some vidya games. And I have found a good...

Okay, so I haven't posted a damn thing in almost 2 weeks. Sorry about that.
I've been having a hard time deciding if I want to keep this site going or not. Is it worth my effort? Do people really enjoy what I am doing, or could they care less? Who knows? All I know is that these games are not going to beat themselves. Therefore, I will continue to beat these nostalgic nightmares, but some things have to change.
You may have noticed that I have added new pages; The FAQ and list. The list is a more organized way to keep track of what I've done and what is next on the list. It's also a lot easier for you guys to find specific games. The FAQ section should be self explanatory. But that is not all...I've also got myself a domain. ...

What a complete waste of time.
Battle Blaze is a fighting game. It sucks. It stars the lovechild of Danny Trejo and Arnold Schwarzenegger. This game didn't even give me enough material to write a decent review with. I wonder if I can write this review in less time than it took me to beat the game. Lets find out!
Please tell me I'm not the only one that sees it.
Start off the game with some random ass story about demons and a contest and blah blah blah. None of it matters or makes much sense.
Controls are fucking pathetic. One button to jump, one button to attack. Movement is also stiff as fuck...

Hmmm...I really should write this huge paper for my IT course. Meh, I'll do it later. I'm in the mood for some vidya games.
Batman Returns is an awesome beat 'em up from Konami. It is based on the very dark and gritty movie by the same name. In this game, you suit up in the cape and cowl to face against clowns with rocket launchers, knife throwing injuns, and obese enemies that can launch themselves through the air with their gas. It sounds pretty badass, right? It's a Batman game made by Konami. Of course it's badass.
Batman's deadliest foe is revealed!
The intro to this game is pretty damn good. ...

My courses are kicking my ass these last couple of weeks, along with family holiday stuff. So, I obviously won't be pumping out a game every day. I'll try to get some out over the weekend, and I'll have my Christmas themed review up when we get a little closer, so have patience.
tl;dr - My quest isn't over, I'm just on a really fucked up schedule until my break.
P.S. - Thanks for all of the support you guys have shown so far. Your comments make my job a lot easier. Knowing that others are gaining enjoyment out of my misery really keeps me goi...

Finally! I'm done with the fishing games! Now lets see what I have next. No. NO. DEAR GOD NO!
The year is 1995. It is Christmas, and an innocent 12 year old is unwrapping a small rectangular shaped box. He sees the all too common red letters that read Super Nintendo. He quickly finishes unwrapping the box to see what glorious game he had just received. Batman Forever. The child is giddy and full of glee as he absolutely loves Batman. However, that joy would not last. No...it definitely did not last.
As he started the game, he smiled with anticipation. The intro reminded...

Wow! A fishing game with Hank Parker!! That would probably be awesome if I had any idea who the hell Hank Parker was.
Bassin's Black Bass is a fishing game like no other. At least, none that I have played before. From start to finish, this game does not feel like your typical fishing sport type of game. In fact, it actually feels more like a RPG than anything else. An RPG based on fishing...who comes up with this crap?
The intro for this game is really weird. RPG music with a detailed story on how your one true goal is to become the best fisherman alive and how nothing will stop you. Then you get to...
