Monster Puzzle (Nintendo Switch) Review.

Hush little monster, don't you cry.  Emerald Rangers has a new Nintendo Switch game review from Retrokai.  Now will this game be a hit, or will it be a little shhh.  The only way to find that out, click on "Read More" to feed this trout...  Yeah, I couldn't find anything else better to rhyme with "out".  I guess that I could've said scout, but I like the idea of being a fish better.  (Click on "Read More" to read the full article.)

Wordlase (Steam) Review


If you are a fan of word based puzzle games then here is a game that you may want to be aware of.  This is Wordlase and it was released on Steam.  Yup, no deep intro here, although I can already tell you that this isn't a very deep game.  Will it be good though?  Find out by clicking on "Read More" to read the full review. Yee-Haw!

Pokemon Sky Legends Booster Box Opening (Japanese Set) OWC #2


Time for another article about Pokémon cards.  This is Obsessions With Cardboard issue #2.  You know when you are deep into the game, when you buy yourself a Japanese booster box just for certain cards that would've cost more than buying the booster box itself.  Thankfully, I'm not that deep into the game. No! I bought this booster because the series itself looked very nice and couldn't wait for the English edition to come out.  That's not to say that this whole set will be released in English.  Some of the cards are very "interesting" to say the least, to the point where I doubt that they'll get released outside of Japan.  I purchased this set from an independent Australian card shop called Collectable Madness.  (Check them out.)  Anyway, enough time wasting, let's see what I got in this Sky Legends booster box.

Depression and Gaming: Five Games That Help to Calm Me Down. Uncensored.



You know, depression sucks, it really fucking sucks.  Fucking abusive humans, life, internet rivals, nasty flashbacks of my childhood in Tasmania, nasty flashbacks of when I was nearly murdered a few years ago, annoying trends, shitty ex-co-workers (who are probably cumming in their pants just from reading that), ignorant people that just tell me to just "get over it" without having a slight understanding of what depression is, all this really stresses the fuck out of me.  It's no surprise that I suffer from anxiety, depression, and PTSD.  I really find it hard to relax but if there's one thing that does calm me down, it is video games.  Despite certain people (mainly doctors, therapists, and teachers) telling me that playing games won't do anything (those people are fucking wrong by the way) it gives me a calm sense of tranquility.  Something that makes me briefly forget about the stresses of the world and all of the fucking bullshit that I've been through in life.  Okay, obviously not all video games calm me down but there are a bunch of games that I go to for the feeling of heaven in this hell that's called Earth.  Hi, I'm James T... No, I'm my real self today.  Hi, I'm Samuel James Absolom and these are five games that calm me down when I feel depressed. (Click on "Read More" to read the full article.)

OWC #1 $200 Pokemon Card Mystery Box Unboxing.



Hello, ladies, gentlemen, and un-binary.  Welcome to the first edition of OWC with your pal, I, Kaiser Sensei.  What is OWC? It's not a backyard wrestling federation or the band that peformed How Bizarre.  (That was OMC.)  OWC stands for Obsessions With Cardboard.  This is the place where I talk about card games.  In this edition, I'll be typing about something that I had recently bought.  Yup, I've done the crazy and spent $200 on a mystery box full of Pokémon TCG products.  What's inside?  Click on "Read More" to read the full article and find out.

RICO (Nintendo Switch) Review.


No! This isn't a game based on the former WWE superstar, Rico.  This is the action packed FPS game released by Rising Star Games...  Huh? This game got released by a big publisher? That's a genuine surprise.  UGH! I gotta stop leaking out about how I feel about a game before the review even starts.  Anyway, this is RICO for the Nintendo Switch.  (Click on "Read More" to read the full review.)

Metagal (PS4, Vita) Review.


Yup, it's my third gaming review in a row about a game published by Ratalaika Games.  One of their games was okay and the other is a hidden gem.  (Don't sue me, Metal Jesus Rocks.)  Either way, this company is keeping the Vita alive.  While I thank them for that, they aren't free from having their releases criticized…  I mean, honestly reviewed.  (Criticized sounds like I'm about to unfairly bash the games head in.)  Today's game sounds like a really good one.  This is Metagal for the PS4 and Vita.  Yes, I can already spoil that this game has two easy to get platinum trophies.  (Click on "Read More" to read the full review.)

Super Weekend Mode (PS4, Vita) Review.


Super Weekend Mode.  That's the name of the game in this review.  The name doesn't give off any clue as to what this game could be.  Thank goodness that I am here with a full on review of the game.  Enjoy! (Click on "Read More" to read the full review of the game.)

Peasant Knight (PS4, Vita) Review.


It's knight time and I'm not just using that for a cheeky pun, it really is knight time.  For you see, today's game is about a heroic knight out to save the land.  This is Peasant Knight for the Sony PlayStation 4 and Vita.  This game did come out on other systems too, but I covered the Sony release which probably isn't all that much different from the other ports.  (Click on "Read More" to read the full review.)

North (PS4) Review


Time to pack up your backpacks because we are heading north.  Okay, that was a lame, so let's try that again.  Time to.. Nope, still got nothing.  F**k it! I'll just go straight with this intro... STRAIGHT NORTH! Yup, today I'll be taking a look at yet another game by Sometimes You.  The same company that published Blood Waves, Drowing, Planet RIX-13, and the terrabad Cyber City 2157.  This time I take a look at North for the PS4.  Will North be good or bad? Who cares! It's a Sometimes You game! It's going to be a game with something interesting to be said regardless.  (Excluding Blood Waves.) (Click on "Read More" to read the full article.)

Blood Waves (PS4) Review.


When I first saw the name Blood Waves, I thought that this was going to be a surfing game where you have to avoid sharks.  Instead we get another bloody zombie shooter.  Will it be good?  Find out in this review.  (Click on "Read More" to read the full article.)

Sonic Quest: The Death Egg Saga. Issues 1 - 3. (comic book mini-series) Review. (Sonic the Hedgehog)


Today I, Kaiser Sensei am reviewing something that I hope to cover more of in the future, comic books.  Yes, those sweet thin stack of papers with the cool little drawings inside.  A lot of great and s**t things happen in them and a good chunk of them are worth posting reviews about.  In my first and (hopefully) not last comic review, I'm taking a look at some Archie-era Sonic the Hedgehog comics.  This is the three issue mini-series, Sonic Quest which came out all the way back in 1996.  Will they be good, bad, or just plain meh?  Find out in this review.  (Click on "Read More" to read the full article.)

Planet RIX-13 (Playstation Vita) Review


Yup, it's another review of another game for that system that everyone (but Sony) loves.  This is Planet RIX-13 for the Sony PlayStation Vita.  A game that's also done by our favorite hit or miss publisher, Sometimes You.  I always look forward to cover their games because you have no idea what games that they'll release.  (Click on "Read More" to read the full review.)

Pop 'n Music Portable (PSP) Review.


I've been a fan of Pop 'n Music for a long time now.  It's one of my favorite rhythm series of all time.  The downside is that it's also quite an expensive series to collect, they typically don't get released outside of Japan.  Once you've managed to get a hold of the game and a console that can run it, you'll need to buy a special controller for it.  However, there are some cheaper games in the series and today I'll be reviewing one of them.  This is Pop 'n Music Portable for the Sony PlayStation Portable.  (Click on "Read More" to read the full review.)

The truth!  The truth of whether or not this game is any good.  (Click on "Read More" to read the full review.)

Retro gamers, dust off your PlayStation Vita because you've got something new to play.  Ironically, it's a collection of old games that came out before your parents were even born.  This is the Atari Flashback Classics.  How will these old games play on this modern handheld? (Yes, the Vita is still modern.) Find out in my review.  (Click on "Read More" to read the full review.)

Horizon Shift '81 (Nintendo Switch) Review



One studio that I'm always looking forward to be playing their games from is Flump Studios.  They made some of the most high quality neo-retro shmups such as Horizon Shift and Hyper Bounce Blast.  (I reviewed Hyper Bounce Blast ages ago in my early video review days.)  Now they are back with Horizon Shift '81 for the Nintendo Switch.  What are you waiting for?  Let's kick in with the review already shall we?

Coffee Crisis (Nintendo Switch) Review


You know what's awesome? Metal, coffee, aliens, and retro video games.  So, lull and behold, a game that takes all of these elements and rolls them into one neo-retro beat 'em up called Coffee Crisis.  The name itself already makes the game sound awesome.  Will Coffee Crisis step up and be a great game, or will it just be another phoned in failed attempt at reviving the genre? (*COUGH* Double Dragon IV *COUGH*) (Click on "Read More" to read the full review.)
