🟡 Full Void (2023, PC) 🟢 REVIEW: Part of the cinematic platformer revival, this beautiful title borrows ideas from Another World, and tasks players with using their environment to overcome an oppressive society led by machines. 👇 #gaming #windows #review 🔴 www.thepixelempire.net/full-void-pc...

🟡 NASCAR Arcade Rush (2023, PS5) 🟢 REVIEW: Taking a similar route to F1 Race Stars, NAR trades realism for fun, with cartoony reworkings of NASCAR circuits, and accessible racing. Is it good enough to win over a wider audience though? ☺️👇 #gaming #ps5 🔴 www.thepixelempire.net/nascar-arcad...

After some disappointing entries and the closure of Midway, it seemed like Mortal Kombat was out for the count. But a purchase by Warner Bros, a new studio and a reboot gave us the ninth entry in 2011 - did MK9 deliver? VIDEO REVIEW👉 youtu.be/2l9hcfo4o0Q #gaming #mortalkombat

This week, I decided to get negative! Six of the worst games I've played! Have you played any of these and what are your worst? #gaming

What if the Acorn Archimedes had its own Star Fox? Wing Star is a 90s 3D demo that pushed the system in impressive ways, blending ideas from Star Fox and Afterburner. You can try it yourself too at Games That Weren't.

'Ben There, Dan That!' and 'Time Gentlemen, Please!' are still 77% off (68p) for the Double Pack. Grab two games for very cheap, and help me out at the same time: BRILLO. store.steampowered.com/app/37400/Ti...

🟡 Amped: Freestyle Snowboarding (2002, Xbox) 🟢 REVIEW: Microsoft launched the Xbox in Europe with a challenger to the wildly popular SSX. Read or watch @steadyspheretpe.bsky.social's review to learn whether Amped would become a winter sports star ☺️👇 #gaming 🔴 www.thepixelempire.net/amped-freest...

🟡 Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 (2020, Switch) 🟢 REVIEW: The sequel to a lukewarm licensed kart racer is one of the most improved of its generation. An overhaul of the graphics & game engine, it also adds tons of courses and sports an impressive roster ☺️ 🔴 www.thepixelempire.net/nickelodeon-...

Whats your favourite Fire Pro Wrestling game? ##gaming

🟡 Hard Edge (1999, PlayStation) 🟢 REVIEW: What happens when you mix Resident Evil, Die Hard, and anime? @steadyspheretpe.bsky.social looks back at Sunsoft's lively action game, where you could switch between control of 4 characters 😊 #gaming #ps1 #review 🔴 www.thepixelempire.net/hard-edge-ps...

In 2018, Fire Pro Wrestling made a rare excursion to Western territories with World. Returning to the classic gameplay style while bringing in stars from New Japan Pro Wrestling, was it a return to form? VIDEO REVIEW👉 youtu.be/b4xUmt6FGOY #fireprowrestling #newjapan #ps4

🟡 Top Hunter: Roddy & Cathy (1994, Neo Geo CD) 🇯🇵 🟢 REVIEW: Our 950th review! I cover an unusual, largely forgotten beat 'em up. A progenitor of the Metal Slug games, with flashes of humour and mad-cap co-op gameplay 😊 #neogeo #gaming #retrogaming #review 🔴 www.thepixelempire.net/top-hunter-r...

Whats your favourite 2D wrestling game? And did you watch WrestleMania? #gaming

...Got there in the end @steadyspheretpe.bsky.social 😁 #gaming #retrogaming

🟡 1942: Joint Strike (2008, Xbox 360) 🟢 REVIEW: Our 99th Xbox 360 coverage looks back at 1942's return, the shmup's first new home release in 18 years. A bit long in the tooth, or capable of teaching the psychedelic new breed a thing or two? #gaming #review 🔴 www.thepixelempire.net/1942-joint-s...

Serving as a homage to the likes of WWF Wrestlefest, RetroMania Wrestling brought 2D grappling to the Switch in 2021. Could it match it's inspirations? VIDEO REVIEW👉 youtu.be/XuDoGeey9C4 #gaming #wrestling #wrestlefest #wrestlemania

🟡 Jett Tailfin (2014, Wii U) 🟢 REVIEW: @steadyspheretpe.bsky.social does a deep-dive into Hoplite's obscure fish racing game. Fair to say, after Clair Obscur, this must've been quite a come-down 😉😁 Read/watch his observations at the link 👇 #gaming #review 🔴 www.thepixelempire.net/jett-tailfin...

In 2007, two of Jared Hess' films would see handheld games in the form of Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre. With the Nintendo DS lacking wrestling games at the time, could this movie tie-in fill the void? VIDEO REVIEW👉 youtu.be/O4e2W_Hz1e0 #gaming #nintendods

🟡 Gear. Club Unlimited 2 (2018, Switch) 🟢 REVIEW: Eden Games' simcade returned for a better-optimised racing experience in 2018. Would a selection of new courses, cars, and options see it challenging the best of its kind? ☺️👇 #gaming #nintendo #review #switch 🔴 www.thepixelempire.net/gearclub-unl...

CLAIR OBSCUR: EXPEDITION 33 www.thepixelempire.net/clair-obscur... via @thepixelempire.net #gaming #GamersUnite

Six of my favourite games ever - what are some of yours? And have you played any of these?

March and beyond on thepixelempire.net sees the spotlight shifting to role-playing games. A classic of the 16-bit era. A modern masterpiece. A couple of the gems that never made it to European shores. Lots to discover! 😊 #gaming #retrogaming

..........and here's what's NEW in Catalog for Playdate! 💫 Fire up Catalog on your Playdate, or visit play.date/games 👋

Hard not to be a little disappointed by the Evercade Nexus announcement, nice as the model admittedly looks. The name implied a little more than analogue sticks, Tate mode, and a share play function. Seems a perfect time for a TV/dock Evercade setup, with USB ports on the dock for the VS pads ☺️

🟡 Escape Plan (2012, PS Vita) 🟢 REVIEW: Every system launch has a game to show off the new tech ☺️ For the Vita, that meant motion controls & a fiendish puzzle-platformer, as covered by @steadyspheretpe.bsky.social in his review ☺️ #gaming #playstation #review 🔴 www.thepixelempire.net/escape-plan-...

It's not just the mainstream platforms we love to cover on thepixelempire.net, leftfield systems matter just as much 💛💚❤️ Check out our review indexes: 🟡 PLAYDATE www.thepixelempire.net/mega-duck-re... 🟢 MEGA DUCK www.thepixelempire.net/mega-duck-re... 🔴 PC-FX www.thepixelempire.net/pc-fx-review...

🟡 Water Flow (2023, Playdate) 🟢 This pipe-puzzler doesn't seek to reinvent the wheel, but it's a convincing consolidation of 30+ years of the genre's ideas and addictive qualities. Ideal for quick blasts and long sessions 😊👇 #gaming #review #retrogaming 🔴 www.thepixelempire.net/water-flow-p...

We've finally made it to Review #400, so it's time to take a look at one of the most important games ever - Resident Evil 4. VIDEO REVIEW👉 youtu.be/T0R-FLxKJ1A #gaming #ps2 #residentevil4 #residentevil30th

What is your favourite game in the Thunder series? #gaming

Happy thirtieth birthday, Bio Hazard, aka Resident Evil. Unleashed from a Capcom laboratory on 1996/3/22! Thirty years of Raccoon City, Forest Zones, Jill Sandwiches, and creepy-ass mansions. And interesting might-have-beens with the first Bio Hazard/Resident Evil game. 🧵 of info tidbits

Despite being an original title initially, Kalisto's Xeleration would become part of Midway's Thunder series with 4 Wheel Thunder. Does it offer more arcade racing goodness? VIDEO REVIEW👉 youtu.be/WSXYVI9etgw #gaming #review #dreamcast

🟡 Earth Must Die (2026, PC) 🟢 REVIEW: An unashamedly funny, British point-and-click starring a raft of stars from the UK comedy scene. The terranoids have invaded, and it's your job to win back Vvlak's dictatorship! 😊👇 #gaming #pc #steam #review 🔴 www.thepixelempire.net/earth-must-d...

Woo, Random Acts of Dialogue is back! 😅😊 #gaming www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DxY...

Digital storefronts should have a filter that allows us to view current-gen games. The more time passes, the more I feel I'm having to wade through re-releases and remasters. They're fine, but it would be nice to see the "new" stuff systems have to offer, without quite so much scrolling ☺️🙂

A game that would benefit from the technological jump, and we haven't seen anything like it on PlayStation in ages? G-Police 🚨😊

British label Mastertronic's approach to software, selling as cheaply and widely as they could, proved influential. In 1986, they took a year-old-port of a 2-year-old Spectrum bike game to #1 for a month. New post on the story of Speed King and Mastertronic: www.superchartisland.com/speed-king

🟡 The Starship Damrey (2013, 3DS) 🟢 REVIEW: Awoken from cryosleep, the player must utilise maintenance robots to uncover the sinister secrets of a troubled space mission. @steadyspheretpe.bsky.social covers this unusual 3DS horror adventure 😊👇 #gaming 🔴 www.thepixelempire.net/the-starship...
