#Design - CustomCoverArt GB Gamera, Garfield Labyrinth, GBC The New Addams Family Series, Resident Evil 1 & GBA Love Hina Advance

Please! Do not ask for these! This was a personal job, not outsourcing the work to other people. If you want me to work out something for you, I will do so for money only.

Got some repros of unreleased or translated Game Boy games, including some long time favorites of mine, so I decided to make some cover art for these for new game cases. Enjoy!

#GamingNEWS Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution - Announcement Trailer - Nintendo Switch

Shantae is back! 

With a new old game! That's right, a scrapped GBA game, coming to GBA (first), then Switch, then the rest. With a classic pixelated Legacy design and more modern take with shiny art and an updated HUD (outside the GBA release).

This looks so fun! Can't wait!!

VGR WOLF3D

Happy Valentine!

Here's an inappropriately timed review of the classic shooter - Wolfenstein 3D!

VGR Aero the Acro-Bat

Time for another mascot-related review!
This time around it's a more obvious Sonic 1 inspired platformed, fresh off from the success of Sega's own hedgehog.

Ready or not, be prepared for the one and only...

VGR Rayman 1

I remember, back when I started making these reviews on deviantArt originally some people were asking me to review this one...

After the mascot-splosion of the 90s every company started making all these platformer games and proposing new mascots for every possible company.
Most being modeled after Sonic 1 both in design and form.

While there were many good (and bad) sidescrolling platformers on the 16-bit systems, it was really Rayman who brought them up to speed for the (then-)"next" generation with its higher resolution graphics, impressive animation and CD-quality soundtrack...

#Screenshot: Broken Sword

Here's a classic quote from the original Broken Sword - Broken Sword - The Shadow of the Templars!
Just to be a more obscure, I decided to take it on the (not very well known) GBA port of this classic adventure game:

Being both an English and French speaker - bilingual - I always found this scene quite hilarious.

Basically, the beginning takes place in Paris, France.
People in the street use little bits of French in their dialogue. And this guy above says something that sounds so silly and stupid in French, yet perfectly correct grammatical. (it is an UK based game studio, Revolution Software, and they usually don't butcher non-English language unlike their American counterparts)

"Quelle bitte!"

My Fighting Games Collection!

Hello folks!
Today, I wanted to post a pic of my fighting game collection, since I've been posting so much about the "fighting genre".
Collection as of today - pic taken July the 1st 2010~

VGR:Quickies My Street Fighter 2 collection

Something a bit different.
Just to try a different format that may come in handy in future comic reviews.

Introducing QUICKIES! - meaning quick review, when I won't take a huge look in depth at comic/movies/games/etc...
(useful for, say, tv show episodes, long running comic series, etc..)

This is a complementary review to my previous Street Fighter 2 VGR.

VGR The Street Fighter 2 series

It's finally time to have a look at the classic Street Fighter 2 games.
I wasn't really planning on doing them while starting this FIGHTING MARATHON. The original plan was to skip SF2 over the more underrated SF3, alpha and ex games... But then, it wouldn't look like a complete marathon review, right?

How to review Street Fighter 2? Should I be reviewing a single or many Street Fighter 2 games?
Here's a part-article, part-review look at SF2 and and some specific SF2 games ones.

Let's dig into this Street Fighter 2 sub-series and its multiple sequels inside the overall larger SF franchises.
