In the mid-1990s, Nintendo was riding high on the success of its Game Boy and Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). Looking to continue its streak of innovation, the company introduced the Virtual Boy in 1995. Hyped as the next big leap in gaming technology, the Virtual Boy promised to bring virtual reality into living rooms worldwide. Despite the initial excitement, the Virtual Boy quickly became one of Nintendo’s biggest commercial failures. Here’s a closer look at what went wrong and the few bright spots that emerged from its brief lifespan.

Strange Hill is a story-driven adventure game with a lot of great ideas. You play as a young boy that rescues a talking robot that recently fell from the sky. Before long, he's fighting zombie rabbits, jumping through the sky, and uncovering incredibly weird secrets. It's a fun premise that feels straight out of a Saturday morning cartoon, but I felt like my experience was constantly being interrupted by ads.

I adore so many things about The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom—from its sprawling open world to its gorgeous soundtrack—but the best part of the game is its building mechanics. Whether I’m assembling a homemade hovercraft or gluing a sword to a sword, I’m always trying to come up with new ways to take on enemies or explore. I’m proud of my inventions, but some Zelda players have come up with creations far beyond anything I could imagine. These players haven’t just come up with cool builds; they’ve made mind-blowing contraptions that completely change the scope of the game. These are ten of the best creations I’ve seen in Tears of the Kingdom so far.

SHOULD I PLAY BOOK OF HOURS? Play it if you’re a fan of Cultist Simulator or like complex games with unique mechanics. Book of Hours is an odd and fascinating game with a Lovecraftian narrative. It’s technically a deck-building RPG, but there are no battles with monsters or trips through dungeons. Instead, you play as a librarian working to rebuild an occult library. The gameplay can be pretty confusing, especially if you haven’t played

SHOULD I PLAY VOLCANO GIRL? Skip it. Volcano Girl is apparently the mobile version of Volcano Princess, a management sim about raising a young daughter to adulthood. I’ve spent a lot of time with the PC version, and the concept behind it is a lot of fun, but unfortunately, Volcano Girl is barely playable on mobile devices. The touch controls are frequently unresponsive, and some in-game commands can’t actually be completed without a mouse and keyboard. Even worse, the game doesn’t seem to be able to load an event that takes place near the end of the childhood stage, which brings all progress to halt.

CLICKOLDING Developer: Strange Scaffold Publisher:  Strange Scaffold Released: July 16th, 2024 Price: $2.99 USD As I prepared to load up the recently released CLICKOLDING, I had a fundamental understanding of what it was all about and what I was getting myself into. This is a play on the concept of being or taking part in the act that is commonly referred to as "cuckolding," but the twist is that it is portrayed in this game as the act of clicking.

SHOULD I PLAY KILL THE CROWS? Play it if you’re a fan of top-down shooters or are looking for a simple, old-school game you can play in short bursts. Kill the Crows is a western about a lone gunslinger on a quest for revenge. There are no bullet sponges here; players, enemies, and even bosses can be felled by a single bullet, and just one mistake can bring a run to an end. At first, this felt frustrating, but once I got into the swing of things, racking up one-shot kills was incredibly satisfying.ﾠ

SHOULD I PLAY THE LEGEND OF NAYUTA: BOUNDLESS TRAILS? Play it if you’re a fan of Falcom games or old-school JRPGs. The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails was originally released for the PlayStation Portable, so it’s a little rough around the edges, but it’s still very fun. There’s a great mix of action combat, platforming, and slice-of-life gameplay here, along with a charming story. It never reaches the highs of other Falcom series, like the

The game play is amazing, it's a challenging survival game that has endless possibilities and could actually go on forever if you can. The art looks like a grim yet cheerful book and the bosses, secrets, and interactions add to the amazing game it is.

Are you prepared to dive into the world of Animash, where imagination knows no limits? Welcome to a captivating gaming experience that blends alchemy with the excitement of Pokémon-style battles. In Animash, players wield the power of fusion, combining two elements – whether objects, creatures, or electronics – to create something entirely new. With each fusion, a unique creature emerges, boasting its own set of attack, defense, and dodge stats, ranging from common three-star to divine ten-star ratings.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re a fan of dungeon crawlers. Monster Menu revolves around a group of adventurers that find themselves trapped in a mysterious dungeon. After a while, they start to get hungry, and they’re ravenous enough to put anything—even monster meat— on the menu. This isn’t the first culinary roguelike I’ve played, but its cooking mechanics are surprisingly deep, and the mix of survival gameplay and dungeon-crawling is satisfying. It’s heavy on grinding, and it’s unlikely to win over players that aren’t fans of the genre, but I still found it to be pretty fun.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re looking for a more lighthearted, casual-friendly way to pass some time killing the undead, but be prepared to encounter some jank. Undawn is the latest MMO from Level Infinite, the same publisher that brought us Tower of Fantasy, and it shares some similarities with that game...and some big differences. Most notably, Undawn trades in the more traditional mix of fantasy, sci-fi, and anime aesthetics for a modern world that has been wrecked by a zombie apocalypse. This game’s vision of the end of the world is anything but generic, though. Even though some elements are frustrating or underdeveloped, I can’t help but feel charmed by this weird little game.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it, especially if you like resource management and unconventional puzzle solving. Like its predecessor, Do Not Feed the Monkeys 2099 lets players watch unsuspecting strangers and snoop on their lives. While the original Do Not Feed The Monkeys was set in a world that resembled the present day, 2099 takes things into the future, making way for some truly bizarre scenarios. While I was free to sit back and watch events as they played out, I preferred to take a more active role in the lives of the people I was spying on, collecting clues from their videos and scouring the internet for more information. Sometimes I made things better, and sometimes I made things much, much worse, but I always had a great time.

Putting a bacon on top of a game review. What? Seriously? Why? Well, because it is fun... See? Effortlessly, satisfying and fun. People talk about burnout all the time. It's a state of feeling exhausted and drained, physically and emotionally, which is often related to stress at work. I used to turn to video games when I feel unmotivated or just to kill time, but now I find that even playing games can be stressful.

I really enjoyed this game and it worths 5$ as well. In this game we as user will interact with Not-a-Game, go through dimensions and solve different puzzles. In the game you can mention references for such games as: •PAC-MAN •Legends of Zelda •Day of the Tentacle Overall experience: •Puzzles: 10/10 •Story: 20/10 •Voice acting: 25/10 •Jokes: 10/10 •Music(especially in chapter 5): 1000/10    

Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom isn’t just an incredible sequel; it’s a masterpiece in its own right. The massive open world is filled with surprises, whether it’s a dragon flying off in the distance or a lizard sunbathing on a rock. It’s made for exploration, and thanks to its many viewpoints and endless traversal options, I feel like I’ll be able to uncover every last inch. There’s clearly a lot to love about

I See You - Be blind for a day. I See You is a 1-bit survival horror game that where you play as Sean, a blind person who wants to meet his girlfriend, soon to be fiance, Liz. At the start, Sean is on a train. By the time his stop comes, he tells us that he is about to visit his girlfriend who loves him a lot. I fell in love with the dialogue as soon as he said "I can't wait to 'see' her." It was the start of feeling how a blind person views life. There is more in store for us when Sean reaches Liz's home.

The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood (Reviewed) Developer: Deconstructeam Publisher: Devolver Digital Released: Aug 16th, 2023 Price: $16 USD The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood is a deck-building interactive novel in which you play in the shoes of Fortuna, a witch exiled because of her power to influence the destiny of everyone she reads their Tarot fortune to, due to the fear of her leader. The game looks great on the surface, but as you advance through and pay more attention to the dialog, it becomes less so. It becomes... excessively questionable.

SHOULD I PLAY HELSKATE? Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater fans should definitely give this a look. That said, you might want to wait until it’s had a few updates. Helskate is a hack-and-slash roguelike that also happens to be a skateboarding game, and it just hit early access. It’s a ton of fun to shift between monster slaying and skateboarding tricks, but I ran into several issues during my playtime. If you pick it up now, you’ll probably have a good time, but I suspect it’ll be much better once it’s had more time in the oven.

I was an awkward kid. I mean, heck, I’m still awkward now as I’m approaching middle age. But I have all sorts of foggy memories of growing up and encountering scenarios where I completely failed to comprehend what the “right” thing to do was. When everyone stood and clapped at the end of a performance, I was always the last one to figure it out and join in. When my family received bad news, my first instinct was always to crack a joke. Put another way, I was disastrously bad at reading the room.
