Considering my love of 3D platformers and collectathons, it was inevitable that I would check Donkey Kong 64 out at some point. While Donkey Kong Bananza is set for release next month for the Switch 2, I felt now would be a good time to finally check out Nintendo’s previous 3D outing for our favorite …

While I was playing through Dragon Fantasy: The Black Tome of Ice and thinking about what I would say for the review, I found myself thinking about a certain subject that has come up in a lot of previous reviews. That subject is whether to rate the game based on only the “objective” elements I …
For a while now, there has been a popular trend in gaming pertaining to the revival of old school games. This trend involves companies creating games in a retro style in an attempt to appeal to older gamers. In some cases, these games are made with the same limitations as older games in an attempt …
Well shit, Guardian Acorn’s 4th birthday just passed! I’m still quite in awe that this experiment of mine has lasted this long, and I’m hoping that it continues to last. And now comes the tradition where I take one last chance to talk about the best and the worst games I reviewed this year. Okay …

Oh what’s this? Annie has remembered that her Amazing VGM series exists after not posting one since May? Yeah, this series has been put on the back burner for quite some time. Really this blog, in general, was more of a side thing since I have been so heavily focused on political activism as of …

Teslagrad was an indie platformer title released in 2013 that seemed to have had some fairly decent reception. Unfortunately I really cannot why.
