Paper Mario The Thousand-Year Door gets a reprint 20 years after the whimsical storybook dazzled on GameCube. It expanded upon what made the Nintendo 64 original such a treat and perfected a turn-based combat formula we’ve missed ever since.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade Wrath of the Mutants is exactly as it’s described, a console and PC port of a 2017 arcade title of the same name (perhaps minus Arcade). Priced at $50 AUD, it’s decidedly for fans of the 2012 iteration of our heroes in a half shell.
The premise of Tales of Kenzera Zau is simple at its core, but wrapped in a more complicated story: Zuberi is a young man who has just lost his father to illness, reading the last story his father ever wrote.
While Princess Peach is a fixture of the Super Mario franchise as a whole, it’s been rare for her to step out on her own — the last Peach-centric title was almost two decades ago, with 2006’s Super Princess Peach on the Nintendo DS. In 2024, we finally have a...
I’m that specific type of old that had an original Game Boy and refused to move beyond it until the poor thing eventually gave up the ghost (or maybe we were just poor?) Regardless, I loved my Game Boy; I had a magnifying glass and light combo that I affixed...

You know me at this point, dear reader – I’m well-established as Stevivor’s resident Yakuza/Like A Dragon sicko. I was introduced to the franchise through these reviews, and it’s been an ongoing pleasant surprise to find the joy in each and every one of these weird little games – and...
The original Prince Of Persia game released in 1989 and it lives amongst the core memories of my first experiences with video games as a kid. It featured 2 biomes, intuitive block and attack sword fights and platforming so intricate the control system included the ability to move forward by...
Avatar exists through the sheer force of James Cameron’s will. I remember the original film as a vehicle for 3D cinema above anything else, including story. My husband and I streamed The Way of Water over two nights over some obligation to watch it, but fully aware that we weren’t going to...
It’s been a banner few years for the Like A Dragon series, the franchise formerly known as Yakuza. After Yakuza Like A Dragon set up its new face, Lost Judgment dove deeper into the detective side of RGG Studios’ version of Japan, and then Like a Dragon Ishin revived a...
