DOOM II
Overview: The continuation that follows our crazy space marine as he traverses through places on Earth trying to eradicate the demon menace. You won’t find any familiar places here because everything is just completely bonkers with the locales, but they get the point across. The enemies are more abundant. The levels are more mazelike in their design. The secrets and puzzles have a lot more head scratching moments. Everything is just more DOOM. Also, it’s still a…

Throughout the levels you’ll encounter all sorts of enemies who span the entire Mario history. You’ll also be introduced to new power-ups seemingly in every level. The main thing which makes this game are the Wonder seeds which are hidden through the level that cause all sorts of magical things to happen to the level. …

Super Mario RPG – Nintendo Switch
Overview: A remastering of the original Nintendo/SquareSoft RPG game featuring the world famous plumber. The game is a typical turn based role playing game with Mario traversing the world looking for the Seven Stars. There really isn’t anything unique about the combat systems other than timing your button presses so you can either do more damage or block attacks. You select from a rag tag group to assist you throughout the game and, in the end, come…

Panzer Dragoon Saga
Overview: What if you took an on-rails shooter and then combined it with a turn based role playing game? Well, that’s what Panzer Dragoon Saga is and it’s a pretty darn good one at that, too. The story starts out with your character, Edge, who is a minor for the empire. While excavating a site and discovering a buried secret, shenanigans happen and basically your traditional revenge story starts to unfold. Where it differs is that you’ll…

Halo: Campaign Evolved
Overview: A remaster/remake of the original Halo: Combat Evolved campaign. There really isn’t much to say that wasn’t in my original take on the first game but there are some quality of life fixes. The controls have been modified which allow you to run and aim with the left trigger. I dunno how to feel about this as I feel it’s taken the feel of Halo and made it a generic shooter. It does help aiming but…

Batman: Return of the Joker
Overview: A side-scrolling action game with you taking the role of Batman as you work your way through levels beating up, what I’m assuming based on the title, Joker’s thugs who want nothing more than to kill you. You’ll face enemies of all types as well as numerous traps blocking your path. It’s a pretty straight forward game. You traverse the levels and obstacles in which you get to a boss battle at the end which kind…

StarFox – Switch 2
Overview: A remade version of the Nintendo 64 game, StarFox 64, this version of StarFox follows that game beat for beat. If you’ve played that game to death, as I have, you know what to expect. If you haven’t, well here’s what it is. It’s an on rails spaceship shooter that has you going from planet to planet defeating the boss at the end of the level. The levels are different and each has a different task…

Spyro the Dragon
Overview: You take control of the titular Spyro the Dragon as he goes across worlds looking for the other dragons who have been made into statues. It seems like there are a few dozen of them and they all have little helpful hints to help you on your way. You’ll also be obtaining collectibles which help you progress from one level to the next. Each level is an open world, so to speak, with you going up…

Snatcher
Overview: Like most of Kojima’s games, he takes inspiration from movies and Snatcher ain’t no original story. Heavily influenced by Blade Runner, you take the role of Gillian Seed who, conveniently, has amnesia as he has to get to the bottom of why synthetic robots, called Snatchers, are committing crimes. You’ll go around to various locales and talk, look, investigate, and analyze clues you find throughout the world. Occasionally you’ll get to do shooting sequences when all…

Forza Horizon 6
Overview: The definitive open world racing game is back and this time it is set in “Japan.” That means you’ll get to drive all along the countryside and in major cities throughout that large country! Naw, I’m just fucking with you. You basically get a small condensed rendition of Tokyo and small villages. It’s still a fun game with you getting to go practically anywhere as you’re finding collectibles, landmarks, aftermarket cars, and more. You have your…

EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENTS
A mass extinction event is when species vanish much faster than they’re replaced. This is usually defined as about 75% of the world’s species being lost in a short period of geological time – less than 2.8 million years. I’d like to consider myself a pretty reasonable guy. Sure, I’ve made mistakes over the decades but I feel that I’ve learned lessons and how to overcome obstacles which make themselves known. This has been the most apparent…
