Rayman – 30 Anniversary Edition Review (PS5)
When it comes to video game history, I’m a big softy, especially when the game is still fun to play. Now, that said, I cannot believe that Rayman is celebrating its 30th anniversary. It’s nuts how quickly time flies. Well, celebrate its aging-ness, developer Digital Eclipse and Ubisoft have released Rayman – 30th Anniversary Edition. It covers a hefty chunk of the good-spirited hero’s history thro...[Read More]
Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection Review (PS5)
It was a brisk winter of 1992, and my friend Jason took me to see a new game at Aladdin’s Castle that he promised would change my point of view on fighting games. Having been a Street Fighter II champ (in my head) for years, I was skeptical of his obnoxious claim. Sadly, and also delightfully, Jason was right. Mortal Kombat introduced the world to a new level of fighting that went well beyond the ...[Read More]
Golden Tee Arcade Classics Review (PS5)
It’s the late 90s. You’re off work. You call up your best buds and you collectively decide to go to TGIFriday’s for some half-off appetizers and a pitcher of beer. When you get there, the waiter tells you that all the trivia game devices have been lent to customers. Playing games was part of the fun on the journey to TGIFriday’s. What are you going to do now with said friends? Then you see it in t...[Read More]

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind (PS5) Review
Earlier this year, I came across an editorial arguing that it’s time that we left Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (MMPR) behind. The author, while well intentioned, argued that the original show’s cheesiness, target audience of 90s kids (err, 90s adults who are aging gracefully, thank you very much), and arguable degree of cringiness has been oft overlooked by longtime fans’ rose-tinted glasses and c...[Read More]
Atari 50 – The Wider World of Atari
If you want to respect the video game industry, then you should always be in tune with its history. Not only will it give you perspective on what the industry has gone through, but it will also reveal a blueprint that might seem familiar in the future. That whole destined to repeat things sort of deal. History is what drives Atari 50, a large and ever-expanding love letter to Atari’s journey. The ...[Read More]
Atari 50: Anniversary Celebration Review
A bar has been set. I’m not sure I can review another Bandai Namco Entertainment of America Museum game without it matching the art, the honesty, and the design that went into making Atari 50. As someone who teaches video game history for a living as a professor, I can without a doubt say that this treats Atari’s history right and truthful while offering up wonderful video game memories you can pl...[Read More]
Disney Classic Games Collection (featuring Aladdin, The Jungle Book, and The Lion King)
Disney is a strange company that usually keeps its licenses close to its heart and doesn’t like people fiddling around with them. If you need an example of this, go read the tedious start to Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios, who have had, at times, a rough relationship over how IP is treated. Most of the time, it’s with a fine-toothed comb. Sony Pictures struggles at times with keeping fan-accurat...[Read More]
