Capcom Generations: Chronicles of Arthur: Ghouls ‘n Ghosts (PS1)
(Review archived from October 30, 2018) The real question of course is why one would wear only a pair of boxer shorts under a full suit of plate mail. I mean the chaffing alone must be horrid, not to mention the oxidation effects of all that sweat build-up in the armor itself. Ah well, maybe when you…

Resident Evil 2: DualShock Version (PS1)
(Review archived from October 29, 2018) Part of what I enjoyed the about the first Resident Evil game was how well it was able to fulfill its cinematic aspirations and the degree to which it was an homage to its influences in horror cinema. Particularly in the first half of the game, it really has…

Resident Evil: Director’s Cut – DualShock Ver. (PS1)
(Review archived from January 20, 2016) Can you believe that I had never played a Resident Evil game to completion!? I was always more of a Silent Hill guy, and the trappings of Resident Evil had always seemed a bit campy for my tastes. And you know what? Resident Evil is totally campy. But in a good way. This…

Mega Man (NES)
(Review archived from January 27, 2015) Mega Man was the first game that I ever heard about via word of mouth. Bear in mind that this was before the internet, before orchestrated video game advertising campaigns, and largely before journalistic media coverage of console gaming was officially a ‘thing’ (this would have been somewhere around…
