"I love being alive." These are lyrics from the theme song for the classic Japanese TV series, Kamen Rider Black. Yes! A Kamen Rider Black game! With all the crazy stuff that went down in the show, it sure needed a video game. Sadly, be careful what you wish for. Not all that glitters is gold and this game is one of those cases. They need to change one of the lyrics of the show to, "I don't like being alive!" it's that bad. Why is it bad? Read my review to find out. (Click on "Read More" to read the full review.)

The Masked Rider: Kamen Rider ZO. (Sega CD) Review.
In a time before Masked Rider aired on American TV back in 1995, there was another attempt of exposing Kamen Rider to an American audience. In the previous year of 1994, America got an unexpected release for the Sega Mega CD. (Yeah, I know it was just called the Sega CD in the US. I'm Australian. Get over it, mates.) Kamen Rider ZO the game hit US shores under the name, The Masked Rider: Kamen Rider ZO. A silly name for sure. It translates to The Masked Rider: Masked Rider ZO. But that's enough of the Wikipedia history lesson. Let's see if this sucka is any good or not. (Click on "Read More" to read the full review.)

Kamen Rider (Super Nintendo/Super Famicom) Review.
You know how some gamers swear that a game is good because they spent a ton of money on it? (*Cough* The people that bought the Double Dragon 4 Collector's Edition *Cough*) Well, today's game is a very expensive one to find and it's a tokusatsu game. So, going by that logic that means that this game should be a twenty out of ten game that only the game collecting gods should experience. This is Kamen Rider for the Super Famicom and I have huge doubts that this game will be worth spending a king's ransom on. Let's see shall we? (Click on "Read More" to read the full review.)

MOP: Operation Cleanup (Playstation 4) Review.
You'd be amazed at how many deep cut PS4 games are so widely overlooked. (They wouldn't be called deep cuts if they weren't overlooked.) There's more than you'd think and I am reviewing another one of those games today. This is MOP: Operation Cleanup for the PS4. (Click on "Read More" to read the full review.)

Miko Mole (Playstation 4) Review.
When you think about games that were released for the Playstation 4, you're normally thinking of stuff with incredibly good graphics. However there'll be a game that comes out every now and then that'll leave you thinking, "How the hell did this get released on this console?". Miko Mole is one of those games. Looks can be deceiving and maybe this game will end up being a diamond in the rough... Maybe. (Click on "Read More" to read the full review.)

Ultraman Club - Tatakae! Ultraman Kyoudai!! (Arcade) Review.
It's about bloody time that we've covered something Ultraman related on this site. Nope, it's not an episode from one of the television series. (That job is reserved for UltraSam AKA Candy Cane Diamond.) Instead I dive back into the amazing world of Tokusatsu arcade games. This is Ultraman Club - Tatakae! Ultraman Kyoudai!! It sounds exciting. (Click on "Read More" to read the full review.)

Kamen Rider 555 Episode 1: The Start of a Trip. Summary/Review
It's been a long, long time, but it's finally time for a new Kamen Rider TV episode review. Only this time I'm only doing the first episode of this series as part of the "Kamen Rider Firsts" series where I look at the first episode of each (if not, most) of the Kamen Rider shows. This time I take a trip back to 2003. I turned 13, got stuck (and still am) on Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex's load screens, and watched MTV for the first time only to be wowed that TRL was a thing. 2003 is also when Kamen Rider 555 made its debut. Now then, let's see what we are instore for. (Click on "Read More" to read the full article.)

Under Party (Steam) Review.
Today, I'm reviewing something a little different, something a little unique, something that's plenty violent, gruesome, and disturbing. This is something that I wouldn't typically cover for this website, but I just found this game so fascinating that it'd be wrong not to cover it. This is Under Party for the PC/Steam. Make sure to read the warning found below before jumping into this review. (Click on "Read More" to read the full review.)
Warning: Under Party is a pretty gruesome game, with violent imagery and situations that might make you feel a little uncomfortable. Granted, it's nothing more violent than an R18+ horror movie, but still. You have been warned! So, don't complain!

Kamen Rider Agito (Playstation 1) Review
It has been awhile, but it is time for another dive into the realm of Kamen Rider video games. So far we have had to cover nothing but cheap cash-ins here at the Emerald Rangers Ranch. Will Kamen Rider Agito (AKA Masked Rider Agito) be the Kamen Rider game that will rise up and be a good game? I severely doubt it, but we shall see in another exciting Kamen Rider video game review.

Super Blue Fighter (Steam) Review.
When I heard that Super Blue Fighter existed, I thought that was a game based on the wrestler, The Blue Meanie. Turns out that was not the case. Nope. Instead we have a neo-retro game that's trying to emulate the classic arcade games of the 1980's. There's nothing wrong with that whatsoever, but how does it do at trying to be a game from that era? Find out in my review of Super Blue Fighter for Steam. (Click on "Read More" to read the full review.)

Epanalepsis (Steam) Review.
The indie gaming scene is full of experimental gems. There's a lot of interesting and great ideas that have a lot of effort put into them. But for every Octodad and Hollow Knight, you get gunk such as That Bastard Is Trying To Steal Our Gold, and today's game, Epanalepsis. (Try saying that name three times real fast.) Why is this game such a disappointing mess of an indie title? Click on "Read More" and find out why.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (Super Nintendo) Review.
We're finally here! The fourth (and final) part of this month long journey covering the video game adaptations of the Power Rangers Movie games. If you haven't read those previous reviews yet, you must do so right now. I command you to! They are pretty great!
Now that you're done reading them (or giving me a free view because you pity me), we are at the most crazy, insane, and bat-sh*t game out of the bunch. This is the Super Nintendo version and oh, boy. (Click on "Read More" to read the full review.)

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (Nintendo Game Boy) Review.
Last week I reviewed the Game Gear version of this game. Now I go from a handheld device full of color to a handheld device that's not. Oh yeah, baby! It's week two of the Power Ranger Movie game series. I'm reviewing the Game Boy port. Sweet! (Click on "Read More" to read the full review.)

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (Sega Game Gear) Review.
Nineteen-ninety-five couldn't have gotten any better for a Power Rangers fan such as myself. The TV show was running on TV everyday after school, the toys were awesome, I was watching the video tapes that I bought from Woolies, and I was enjoying playing the Super Nintendo game that I rented from Video City. One day, I heard the good news that there was a Power Rangers movie playing at the cinema over at Bernie, Tasmania. (I lived near there in a town called Wynyard.)
I was so excited and then I got myself grounded and my family saw it without me, those bastards. (Joking about the bastards line.) Thankfully, it came out on video a little later on and we rented it right from the overnighter section. I loved watching it and still do. Years later I found out that there were video game adaptations based on the movie. Yup, not just an adaptation, but adaptations. For the next four weeks I'll be reviewing those games, starting with this one. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie for the Sega Game Gear. (Click on "Read More" to read the full review.)

Charinko Hero (Nintendo Gamecube) Review.
For many ages now, the schoolyard kids have argued about which kid's superheroes could beat up the other kid's superheroes. Goku Vs. Superman. Spiderman Vs. Batman. Angry Video Game Nerd Vs. Nostalgia Critic. (Although I don't know why kids would be watching them.) All these (and many more) have been the topic of many recess time debates. Today I tackle a verses topic that got turned into a video game. Ultraman Vs. Kamen Rider. I wonder how this will turn out? This is Charinko Hero for the Nintendo Gamecube.

Kamen Rider: The Bike Race (Playstation 1) Review. Simple Character 2000 Series Vol. 3
Finally! I am reviewing something from the greatest video game series of all time! Yes, this is the Simple Series where you can get quality games for dirt cheap. Okay, we are talking about a different kind of quality here. A quality that's best described as being so bad that it's good. There are a few exceptions though as some of the games in this series are really, really good. Will this game be one of them? This is Kamen Rider - The Bike Race and it is volume three of the Simple Character 2000 Series. (Click on "Read More" to read the full review.)
