Talking Point: How Good Are You At Games?

Posted: 06 Jun 2021 10:00 AM PDT

Skills to pay the bills, bro?

Back in the olden days, when my world was decidedly smaller, I used to think I was pretty handy when it came to video games. When schoolmates came over to play GoldenEye or Mario Kart 64, I'd wipe the floor with the lot of them and I naively believed it was down to my unrivalled reaction speed and prowess with the pad. In my circle of friends, I was the Steve McQueen of the Mushroom Kingdom; a regular digital 007 who'd always triumph in the end.

Obviously, I was also an idiot. It didn't take long to realise that I wasn't some video gaming savant, I was just way more familiar with those particular games than my friends. As with any activity, the more you do it, the better you get, and compared to — oh, I don't know — my pal who only had a PlayStation or my little sister, I obviously had a significant edge.

Mini Review: Mighty Goose - Have A Gander At This Stylish Run 'N' Gunner

Posted: 06 Jun 2021 08:00 AM PDT

Come with us now, on a journey through time and space.

Geese are really going from strength to strength, aren't they? After conquering the indie scene in House House's Untitled Goose Game, the species is now taking to the sky with Mighty Goose, a side-scrolling shooter that offers a flavour of games like Metal Slug and Mercenary Kings. With minimal plot to back up the chaotic gameplay, you're tasked with simply going from level to level in a variety of locations to unleash destruction upon waves of enemies. That's really all there is to it.

Starting off with a standard hand cannon, Mighty Goose feels reasonably well equipped from the start, but it's not long until you begin to pick up new weapons like shotguns, machine guns, and rocket launchers. These weapons have a finite amount of ammo, so you go right back to the hand cannon once you run out, but thankfully weapon pickups are incredibly frequent throughout the game.

Posted: 06 Jun 2021 06:00 AM PDT

Let's not be Rash.

Welcome back to Box Art Brawl, our semi-regular retro box art poll to decide the best regional variants from two or more territories.

Before Balan.

Earlier this week, it was discovered Balan Wonderworld creator Yuji Naka had left Square Enix. In an update on social media, Naka confirmed he had resigned and is now considering calling time on his career.

He's credited on an incredibly long list of games, and one of the lesser-known ones is the Wii version of Rodea the Sky Soldier - labelled his "original vision" of the title.
