Video by Matt S. I do love Zen Studios’ Pinball FX3. It’s been a bit of a busy couple of months, so I’ve had to put my pinballing on the backburner, but being the big fan of bad B-tier horror and science fiction that I am, I couldn’t resist checking…
Read MoreWe’ve got a bit of a themed episode going this week! It’s all about the retro! From watching let’s plays of difficult to find games, to the decline of arcades (even in Japan – sniff), and a new, gorgeous console that will play your Game Boy games, retro gaming is…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Just a few weeks ago I went to Warehouse Kawasaki in Kawasaki city – a city sandwiched between Tokyo itself, and Yokohama. It’s something that I’ve wanted to do for many years, based on what I had heard of it, but never previously had the opportunity…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. As the name would indicate, BurgerTime Party! is an updated take on the classic game that released all the way back in 1982. A lot of the same elements make their return, but with some jazzed up visuals, music and stage layouts. This is not the…

Read MoreReview by Nick H. The newly released Star Wars Pinball for the Nintendo Switch is an impressive collection of tables that serves to bring the entire package together in a different way than the usual offerings from Zen Studios. Some of those new ideas work better than others, but on…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Pix the Cat is a groovy little arcade game, featuring a groovy neon cat, groovy little ducklings, and a slick rhythm to play along to. First released back in 2014, it’s now on the Nintendo Switch, and continues to be one of the better examples of…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. SEGA recently announced Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz HD for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC. It’s an enhanced port of the Wii original (showing how long it has been since we last had a Monkey Ball to play), and while that game was…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Senran Kagura, at its best (i.e. in the earlier entries) did a brilliant job of taking ridiculous, heaving, over-the-top sexuality (i.e. gigantic boobs) and using it to satirical and comedic effect.
