It’s spooky season, and I’ve got some treats for you!  No tricks!  It’s game reviews I’ve recently written at GamerDad.com!  About half of them are Pokémon related, so that explains the title of this blog.  Also there’s a new Pokémon game that just came out.  I’ll probably get it soon, as I did like the first Pokémon Legends game pretty well.  Anyway, please click on the links to the reviews and read as many as you can, and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two.  I’d appreciate it.  OK let’s begin!

My girlfriend and I am going on a short vacation to our old college in central New York this weekend. Among other things, I'll be looking to see if that arcade machine, Sky Shark, is still there in the pizza shop I used to go to. The odds aren't good after so much time. But anyway, I played a lot of games this mid-week-end that I have (I'm off wed/thurs regularly) trying to decide what to keep of my 90s game collection.

I bounced between Xbox Series S and Switch this week, sometimes within just a few minutes. I would've done so with PS4 as well, but I've misplaced my HDMI splitter to expande two slots to four. Here's the games I really liked followed by the ones I kind of didn't stick with for very long.

Wake up early and pour a bowl of your favorite sugary cereal as we look at more games I’ve recently reviewed at GamerDad.com.  A lot of the games on this batch were Saturday Morning cartoons at one point, or at least look like they could be.  But then, most games I review are probably like that.  Anyway, please click on the links and read as many reviews as you can, and maybe even post a ‘like’ or comment or two.  I’d appreciate it.  And now it’s back to the show!

2022 Year in Review

Published on December 31, 2022 2:27 PM - 16 minute read

Another year has come and gone. 2022 was a great year for games! I was able to beat 29 games this year. Keep in mind that some of these were old games that were fairly short (such as the original Castlevania and Castlevania III for NES). There were some standout games this year. I'm going to talk about my favorite games that I beat this year (some of which didn't come out this year, but some certainly did). Then I'm going to give 3 awards: Best Game Collection, Best Soundtrack, and of course, my Game of the Year. So let's get on with it.

A Robot Boy and his Dog

For years, there has been a heated debate among fans of the Mega Man series regarding which one is the best of the original hexalogy. After the facts have been laid out and philosophical life lessons thoroughly dissected, the debate usually boils down to Mega Man 2 vs. Mega Man 3. Which is the greater of the two? Well, no matter which side you’re on, we can all agree on the thing- the cover art for Mega Man 3 finally got it right! No more awkward stances or that pistol-for-an-arm-cannon nonsense. Of course, he didn’t look as good as on the Famicom cover, but that’s another argument.

It's been quite a year! I played a ton of games this year, and there were plenty of games that I wanted to play that I didn't get to (too many games!). Some of those games will roll over into next year. For 2021, I beat a total of 25 games! Instead of talking about all of those, I'll just highlight the ones I really enjoyed this year and after that, I'll tell you my personal Game of the Year. So here are the games I beat this year that I really loved.

2020 Year in Review

Blog Entry
Published on January 1, 2021 6:54 PM - 19 minute read

Hey, guys! 2020 has been a miserable year for the world, so thank God it's over! But it was a really good year for games. This year I was able to beat 25 games, which is almost the most I've ever done in a year. Most of you know that I'm a huge Nintendo fan, so most of these are Nintendo games or games on Nintendo consoles (although I would like to get a PS4, but not sure if that'll happen). As always, I beat some really great retro games this year too. So without further ado, here are the games I beat in 2020.

What's a rpg/action platformer/brawler mashup where you also harvest resources like? It's just like Rogue Blob Heroes and its Gears Farm expansion. Thing is, I got annoyed that while I was away jumping and slashing my way to fame and fortune, my farm was getting raided by vacuum goblins sucking up all my juicy fruit. It drove me so nuts, I rage quit and played the following five games instead.

A boy and his frog

My earliest years in gaming was a magical time. Every new game I discovered pioneered a fresh mechanic I hadn’t seen before. I'll never forget the moment when my brother's best friend came over with his NES games to show off Blaster Master. I marveled as the story elements unfolded while melancholic music played in the attract mode. Pressing the start button then transitioned me to the opening shot of an armored vehicle speeding off while the triumphant music swelled to a crescendo as I journeyed into the unknown. Never had I witnessed anything like that at the time. While everything I just described is nothing spectacular these days, Blaster Master still has a few gameplay elements that still hold up quite nicely.
