While it rarely makes much of a difference what console you play a game on, there is always a question in the back of many people’s minds concerning which version is technically superior.  Console parity is something that developers have sought after since multi-console releases first hit the mainstream.  Back in the day it was quite obvious which console had the most potential…

Happy New Year everyone! Here’s a little story for all you retro fans out there. A Youtube user has uploaded a video of Battlefield 3 re-imagined in 8-bit. Yes, 8-bit. The video is complete with an 8-bit rendition of the Battlefield 3 theme song playing throughout. Check it out inside.

After all of the mortals have been tucked into bed under the sweet embrace of the night sky above, demons and other mythic creatures of the darkness cross over into the world of the living.  No one knows who or why they have been summoned, but their own personal motives become clear…

Merry Christmas everyone and welcome back for another exciting Retro Head2Head! This is one retro we’ve just been “dying” to complete: Resident Evil 2 on the N64 and PS1. Really, what game screams Happy Holidays more then one about the walking dead, rotting flesh, and a virus? Exactly!

Capcom always knew how to make quality games, their imagination and artistry can lure you into their games like no other. Little Nemo: the Dream Master was a game I will admit, drew me to it from the box art because I didn’t know his character previously.

PlayStation cases have gone through many changes early in the system’s life. The transition to the common jewel case has a strange history. There were 3 different cases before the standard CD size jewel. For me as a gamer turned collector, the hunt for some of these variations has been sort of a pain.

In our next retro Review we put an odd entry to one of the greatest video game franchises in history under the Lens – Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. This sequel had a lot to live up to, after all, the original The Legend of Zelda set a new standard in the adventure genre. Does Zelda II deliver the same magical experience as the first? Hop in to find out.

Video Game Mascots were really big in the early life of gaming. Mario is the Poster Boy for Nintendo like Mickey Mouse is for Disney. It seemed like every company had to have a mascot in the 80′s and 90′s but today, they seem to be lost.

There’s a small genre of games out there that’s been forgotten. Maybe for good reason. I’m talking about, Games that are based on Movies, that are based on Games. One of the evils of the industry has been the making of movies based on video games. Most fail, though people have their favorites…

Now before you look at the title and get all bent out of shape, we know, Arcades are still around, and that’s true, but they certainly aren’t what they use to be, especially in America. Case in point; Street Fighter 4 & MvsC3 – Arcade Cabinets for both are not even available for purchase in the United States. That info speaks volumes about where the industry has gone these past 10 years.

We continue with our series of Ogre Battle Retro Reviews with the only entry on the N64 – Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber. Can Magnus overcome the odds and face his father and close friend in battle?  Lets put the sixth chapter of the Ogre Battle saga under the lens and find out.

Next on our trip down memory lane is Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest. The follow up to Konami’s smash hit Castlevania, is a mixture of side scrolling action and RPG style weapon and item acquiring. We all know that with recent gaming, Action/RPG has been a successful formula, but what about twenty three years ago. Step inside to see if Simon’s Quest was a groundbreaking title, or if Simon’s body parts should have been strewn across the land just like Dracula’s.

Last time we covered chapter seven of the Ogre Battle saga.  This time we are going to jump back to chapter five, which oddly enough was the game that started it all (seems like they skipped around like Star Wars when they made these games).  With only 25,000 copies of the game released to North America on the SNES, this is perhaps one of the rarest games to acquire an original copy of…

Is that the sweet smell of revenge in the air? No, its just our latest Retro Review! In this retro we take a look at one of the best Beat’em ups the NES has to offer – Double Dragon II: The Revenge! Does this sequel have what it takes to best its predecessor? Step inside our retro dojo to find out!

Welcome back for a very special retro Review. In this retro, we take a look at one of the most loved RPG’s of all time, a game that over the years has gained an almost cult like following - EarthBound for the Super Nintendo. EarthBound is the sequel to “Mother” (released only in Japan), and happens to be one of the rarest games on the used game market. We still have our copy. But is this adventure with Ness and friends worth the high price? Read on to find out!
