Games of the Last Decade Ranked – (Part 9)
Second verse, same as the first! It’s time to continue with our look back at the games that released in the last decade. As usual, if the game is on this list, it’s because it released sometime between January 1st, 2010 and December 31st, 2019, in addition to being a title that I have actually played. I apologize in advance […]
Read moreFirst Impressions: Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON’T KNOW!
First Impressions is a close look at the crucial first hour spent with a game and its’ ability to draw you in or turn you away. Somewhere between a review and a preview. Ugh, the dirge of licensed titles. History has, unfortunately, shown us that no studio, no creator and no IP is exempt from half-hearted attempts to cash in […]
Read moreReview: Mario and Luigi: Dream Team
Poor Luigi. Despite his lithe physique, vibrant green coveralls and a much better coifed mustache than his genetic counterpart, he was relegated to “little bro” status from the get-go. With Nintendo proclaiming 2013 the “Year of Luigi,” you’d think the guy would finally get a break (well, besides the phenomenal Luigi’s Mansion), but no matter how incredibly fun Mario & […]
Read moreBacklog Quest II: Day 30 – Asphalt 3D – Better than expected?
Dear Journal, Today I played a game that didn’t seem THAT bad but we’ve all heard horrible things about. Asphalt 3D is interesting in that it is actually a 3DS port of a iOS game originally designed for iPhones and the like and used as one of Ubisoft’s launch titles for the 3DS. I usually try to stay clear of […]
Read moreBacklog Quest II: Day 28 – Aliens: Infestation – Kills bugs dead
Dear Journal, Today I killed some Xenomorphs with some of the toughest hombre’s this side of Jupiter. Aliens: Infestation is another game that ties into a movie made in the 80’s, taking place shortly after the events of the Aliens film. A group of Marines are sent to the Sulaco to investigate what happened to the crew, as well as […]

Dear Journal, Today I got to essentially give a game a second chance, but also play a new game at the same time. Thor: God of Thunder’s Xbox 360 cousin left more than a bad taste in my mouth. It was one of the worst games I played last year and until Backlog Quest II it was the lowest rated […]
Read moreBacklog Quest II: Day 24 – The Trash Pack – Appropriately named
Dear Journal, Today I played the one of the biggest waste of money released for the 3DS (so far). Originally priced at $29.99, The Trash Pack video game is a tie-in to all those Trash Pack toys you’ve probably seen in stores or possibly the obsession of some mini-person in your life. A collection of mini-games really, The Trash Pack […]
Read moreBacklog Quest II: Day 23 – Captain America: Super Soldier (NDS) – Light on the super
Dear Journal, Today I fought for truth, justice and the American way. Captain America: Super Soldier is a pretty standard 2.5D side-scrolling beat em’ up that draws comparisons to classic 2D games of the same type. You fight a horde of mindless enemy soldiers and the occasional boss through a series of rooms in a very elaborate German castle. At […]
Read moreBacklog Quest II: Day 21 – Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion – 90’s kid at heart
Dear Journal, Today I rescued most of Disney’s famous characters from an evil witch. Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion is sort of a sequel to the classic Castle of Illusion game, as well as a sequel to Epic Mickey: Power of Two. Mickey has been called to a castle in order to save Minnie, a castle that is vaguely familiar […]
