You are Korvald, an old scribe who lives in a Nordic village.  When crusaders come and invade, you are kidnapped and tortured to near death.  But then a demon comes and gives you strength to fight back in this 2D action hack and slash platformer.  It kind of reminds me of a mix between Odin […]

On this episode of the podcast, brother Jeff and I discuss our favorite museums, both in real life and virtual ones in video games!  So please give it a listen! The Pizza Pixel Podcast Episode 27: Favorite Museums In the comments section, let me know what your favorite museums are, both in real life and […]

In this game you play as Nia, a teenager who just moved temporarily to a remote island with her parents.  She’s not too thrilled about being away from civilization, but after accidentally touching a shrine and falling down a pit, she is tasked with collecting four gears that’ll activate the island, which is actually a […]

This game reminds me a bit of one of my favorite classic puzzlers: Pipe Dream.  Make the water (or lava) flow through all the destinations by rotating pieces of pipe in three biomes: Forest, Volcano, and Winter, with 50 levels in each biome.  Tiny Biomes is available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed […]

Hey folks, got some cool news for you.  You might know that I’m a pretty big fan of the Bluey cartoon show.  Well recently I got to guest star on a cartoon podcast about Bluey with some of my friends.  I’m really glad they invited me for this one.  Anyway, it turned out really good […]

The two Tomba games are some of my favorites on the PSOne.  They’re 2.5D platformers that are kind of like a cross between Klonoa and the Wonder Boy games.  You play as a caveboy wild kid with pink hair named Tomba, and you fight these evil pig guys.  I remember when I first saw this […]

Dole is no stranger to video game promotions when it comes to their bananas.  Anyone remember Super Monkey Ball?  The Dole logo was placed all over the game, from the bananas you collect to balloons and blimps in the background.  And now Dole is teaming up with Minecraft for an even weirder promotion!  So let’s […]

A few years ago, I bought a Pokémon Valentine kit that has those little valentines like you would give out in elementary school.  But I didn’t write about them because they were on clearance at Hallmark after Valentine’s Day.  However, I went to Hallmark again recently and they were still selling them, so I figured, […]

I saw these Pokémon themed Goldfish cheese crackers at the grocery store and had to get them. So let’s take a look at them! Here’s a bigger picture of the front of the bag. And here’s the back of the bag. And here’s what they look like inside. You’ve got a Poke Ball, Pikachu, and […]

There’s imitating a game, and then there’s downright ripping off a game.  Which do you think Heroes Battle Awakening is?  This is pretty much just the same game as Plants vs. Zombies, with a new coat of paint.  It now just has a cartoony medieval fantasy theme.  It’s available on all current consoles, but reviewed […]

After almost a decade, Metroid Prime 4 Beyond was finally recently released.  And of course they have amiibo figures and I got them so let’s take a look! Here they are in the boxes. And here they are out of the boxes. When you scan the Samus amiibo in the game, you can refill your […]

Help Bob the Brick Breaker (as opposed to Bob the Builder), break bricks by bouncing a wrecking ball with a girder.  Yup, it’s a BreakOut or Arkanoid clone.  But is it as good as those classics?  You’ll just have to read on to find out!  The game is available on Switch and PlayStation consoles, but […]

My two favorite video game consoles are the Super Nintendo and PlayStation.  I played so many great games on those systems, and there were so many more that never came out overseas!  That’s why I like when a company snags a Japan only classic and brings it over here.  Such is the case with Milano’s […]

Did you know that in Japan, they have café restaurants with a Kirby theme?  You can get Kirby themed food, get Kirby souvenirs at the gift shop, and even the music in the background is remixed music from the game!  I would totally go to one of those if I ever went to Japan, but […]

Seeing as though I’m old enough to have experienced Pac-Man when it first came out, I’m pretty familiar with most retro games.  However, sometimes one comes along that just flew under the radar for me.  Montezuma’s Revenge was one such game.  I remember seeing it back then, but never playing it.  Many years later, at […]

Paws of Fury was a movie released in theaters a couple of years ago.  I never bothered with it then, as it looked like a Kung-Fu Panda rip-off.  But before writing this review, I did manage to watch the movie on Netflix.  I found it interesting that Mel Brooks did one of the voices and […]

Back in November, Burger King was doing Sonic the Hedgehog toys in their kids meals.  They’re not doing it now, as of this writing it’s now SpongeBob.  But I managed to snag a few of the Sonic toys in November so I thought I’d show them to you. Supposedly, they also had Sonic paper crowns […]

When I was a kid, I loved reading newspaper comic strips.  And I still have a strong interest in them today!  Some of my favorites include Garfield, Calvin and Hobbes, Dilbert, and of course, Peanuts.  When I was little and a Peanuts TV special was on, you can bet I was planted in front of […]

When I was young, I loved watching stuff on the kids’ cable channel Nickelodeon like Danger Mouse, Double Dare, and You Can’t Do That on Television (yeah I’m THAT old school).  But even years later as a teen and young adult I liked watching Nicktoons like Rocko’s Modern Life and Invader ZIM.  And once my […]

Kirby Air Riders was recently released, and of course I got it.  I’m a big fan of the first game on the GameCube (and Kirby in general) and this was really the game that sold me on the Switch 2.  And of course they have amiibo figures to go along with it.  The first batch […]
