Review – Castlevania: Lament of Innocence

February 1, 2021 Adzuken 0

A few years ago, I took a deep dive into the Castlevania series. Not that I was any sort of stranger to it, but the breadth of the franchise is dizzying, so there was a […]

Review – Yume Penguin Monogatari

March 11, 2019 Adzuken 0

While we got some decent Konami games over here in North America, we didn’t get to see the sort of brand unity that they had in Famicom. We really got ripped off, not seeing a […]

Review – Silent Hill

February 25, 2019 Adzuken 0

I think this was, like, my third attempt to complete Silent Hill. I was, for a time, a giant wuss when it came to horror games, but a few years ago, something clicked and now […]

Review – Snatcher

December 17, 2018 Adzuken 0

I can’t say I have the best relationship with Hideo Kojima. On one hand, I respect him as a creative force. On the other hand, he’s an excruciatingly awful storyteller. The Metal Gear series can, […]

Review – Batman Returns (SNES)

December 13, 2018 Adzuken 0

Tim Burton’s take on the Batman franchise was so rad. I mean, the movies are as goofy as hell, but between the excellent performances from the cast, and the awesome set design and atmosphere, they’re […]

November 5, 2018 Adzuken 0

Konami has had a severe fall from grace in recent years. In actuality, they’ve been in steady decline for a long time, but only recently have they demonstrated an actual derision of the video game […]

Review – Super Castlevania IV

October 25, 2018 Adzuken 0

I don’t think I’ve really had the chance to hammer home the point that I absolutely love Castlevania, but don’t worry, those days will most likely arrive. Love bloomed late, however, as I never really […]

Review – Castlevania: Bloodlines

October 22, 2018 Adzuken 2

Don’t get me started on Castlevania. The original title stands as one of my favourite NES titles, perhaps even topping the list if I was forced to decide, and I don’t make that statement lightly […]

Review – Monster in My Pocket

January 26, 2018 Adzuken 0

For those of you who are not well versed in the pop culture of the early 90’s, Monster in My Pocket was a short lived attempt at a multi-media franchise. It never really caught on, […]
