Hotline Miami is weird, hard, irritating, entertaining, interesting, and fun as hell. Good game!

Blazing Chrome is a very well put together game. It very much has the Contra gameplay style, with some fun mechanics. It is very short, however. I beat it in about 90 minutes.

The game seems to take a lot of inspiration from classic side scrollers from the Genesis era, with even some NES callbacks. The main gameplay style feels a lot like Contra Hard Corps (but a lot more forgiving) with some sections inspired by other games like Battletoads and Space Harrier.

The game starts with a short tutorial that explains the controls and mechanics. One of my favorite mechanics was the roll. If you hold down and press the jump button, your character performs a roll that is very helpful in dodging attacks, especially vs bosses. Another mechanic was holding the right bumper allowed your character to stand still and aim. This also helped with bosses a lot.

I played as Mavra, the human soldier. You have the option between her and the robot, Doyle. Upon beating the game, I unlocked two new characters and a boss rush mode. I am very curious to how the other characters differ from Mavra, so I’ll probably give them a shot soon.

I played on Easy mode the first time because a couple friends made it sound really hard. I just played through on Normal and it was great!

All in all, I think this was a very fun game, and it really took me back. It hit all the right notes for a retro inspired game of that time. Even the voice clips sounded like something a Genesis would produce.

It's been a couple years since I played the first one, and this one really did a great job of reminding me why I enjoyed the first one so much. I'm a big fan of the combat, but what really impresses me is the thought and ingenuity that went into making some of those platforming sections. All around great experience, would recommend.

I really wanted to find a good, fun hockey game to play on the PC. While this isn't quite what I was looking for, I've loved every minute of playing it. It's Blades of Steel (NES), meets Ice Hockey (NES), meets Mutant League Hockey (Genesis). It's exceptionally violent and over-the-top, met with actually pretty good gameplay! I've had a ton of fun playing this over Parsec with my brother. The only downside is that it doesn't have on-line multiplayer, but luckily we can work around those things.

This might be one of my favorite April Fools' Day pranks ever. That was super cute, and a ton of fun. I loved seeing the gang in this format. Kinda craving a chili dog now.

Leaving the old part of the review to keep it honest, but yes, this is a very fun game, and I'm super happy the devs finally fixed the NVIDIA issues.

This game is actually super good and a lot of fun. But it's rendered unplayable due to graphics cards updates. I would love to play this game for more than 22 minutes at a time without it crashing and burning. Just make it work. I shouldn't have to use an old driver to play this.

Super fun, but super short. It's a good, easy platformer. Pretty much exactly what I expected from a Mickey Mouse game. Less than 2 hours to beat the game, but I had a good less than 2 hours.

Hosted many a game night with the buds with this one. We always end up laughing. Hell, sometimes the clips themselves are enough to just crack someone up.

Better than Mario 64, don't @ me.

Absolutely loved it. The characters were portrayed extremely well, and I was shocked how much I liked Sage by the end of the game.
Going fast feels great in this one. Team Sonic knocked it out of the park.
