April 11th, 2019This era of video games seems to be the era of remakes and remasters (especially from Nintendo).

Personally, I think the best example of this...

February 28th, 2019Banjo-Kazooie is one of those franchises that was a household name back over a decade ago, and with two huge hits on the Nintendo 64, that was rightfully earned.
I used to play the heck out of Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie back in my wee adolescence days. I was 100% petrified of Gruntilda the witch, but the fear was always overshadowed...
