Ghostbusters are Back and Even Better in Their New Game

Posted on by Dave Pizza
Nobody asked for a Ghostbusters Video Game Remastered review in 2023, especially from a guy who reviews indie games. It’s sure to be overshadowed by the mega Afterlife release coverage, but maybe, just maybe, you weren’t sure who to call. So, that’s where I spawn my digital specter presence to declare, “These Ghostbusters are prepared.” Platforms: PC, Switch, Playstation, Xbox I AIn’t Afraid of No Ghostbuster Reboots I’m not sure if there’s anybody on the planet who has never seen Ghostbusters, so to those who want to know more, let me indulge you in this review of an updated version… Read the rest

Power Rangers Battle for the Grid is a Morphin’ Good Time

Posted on by Dave Pizza
The Power Rangers Battle for the Grid DLC packs showed up on Steam today. I remembered I have been eager and hopeful about the core game which is available on Xbox Game Pass, and I knew what I had to do, review the core game! Whatever your cultural disposition, I suspect it’s probably not hard to be aware of the Power Rangers–whatever your impression of them may be. For me, it was a show that catered to cool heroes fighting the ever-creative monsters on weekdays after school on TV! Alright… IT’S MORPHIN’ TIME! This game made me realize how special… Read the rest

City of Heroes is The Best MMORPG That’s Now Defunct

Posted on by Dave Pizza
Well, quick FYI, City of Heroes hasn’t had a live official server in years. There was never anything wrong with it. I’m not really sure why they even shut it down, many people today still would like to play it. But I guess they just felt it was dated or didn’t make money, or they just didn’t want to produce content for it anymore. I don’t know, but I would love to step foot in Paragon City once again. What was it? City of Heroes was an MMO that simulated player life as a superhero that you could play with… Read the rest

Art of Rally and My First and New Impressions

Posted on by Dave Pizza
Somewhere in my past, I played an awesome rally game that came fully loaded with mud-flapping corners and virtually no control over anything. I also know that these aren’t a grapevine of hits in the racing genre, but rather a genre unto itself. That said, I had no idea before Art of Rally that rally races have a rich aesthetic history that looks darn fine low-poly rendered on a computer screen. Okay, let’s get meta. Art of Rally: Go I don’t want to bog this down with too much research, because I know there’s some treatise on the themes of… Read the rest

NES Nostalgia: Games From My Youth

Posted on by Dave Pizza
I wanted to call this “NES Games That Influenced Me” or something like that. Honestly though, I can’t totally remember WHY I remember these games, only that they evoke some mood or emotion when I play them. I guess you could call it nostalgia. Yeah, that’s probably it. The main reason for this is I wanted to try writing about something I haven’t tried. So here we go, six games I played when I was younger and what I can tell you about their place for Mr. Dave Pizza in the elusive 80’s and early 90’s. Note, I did not… Read the rest

Yoshi’s Crafted World is A Beautiful Cardboard Dream

Posted on by Dave Pizza
I had to remember how to play this game, but once I did I remembered how carefree it is to play this game, a nice array of forgiving obstacles and high attention to detail in its very particular artistic style. I meant to write something about it a while ago, but I kept overthinking it. Today I have some videos, screenshots, and seasoned thoughts on Yoshi’s Crafted World. What is Yoshi’s Crafted World? This game is the topic of this review. It is a game for Nintendo Switch based on the loveable dinosaur Yoshi with origins in the SNES game… Read the rest

The Best Pinball Video Games For Your Budget

Posted on by Dave Pizza
Remember pinball? Not only remember it but are you a “pinball wizard” as it were? Well, here we go again. Today I’m going to share a game that is available on both Mobile and PC platforms. The game is Pinball Deluxe: Reloaded. There is also apparently some background with Blackberry devices long before that for this publisher, but I don’t know much about that. Before this post, I tried to load up an Android emulator to see if I could try the Google Play version on my Windows machine, but it didn’t really work and it was easier to just… Read the rest
