Tokyo Xtreme Racer Franchise - Fixing a 20 year old game, and the future of the series

I’m Kinglink and it’s been around a year since I did something. Maybe I should finally talk about it. But before we go into that, I want to take you back. Not a year, not 5 years, not even 15 years, but over 20 years and a touch before the most important part of this story.  In 2001 I picked up a game, simply put it was really good. That game was known as Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero. This was…

Humble Choice August 2024 - A roller coaster of emotions.

I’m Kinglink and it’s my birthday month which can only mean it’s time for the Humble Choice August 2024 Review.

After checking out the games, I can now tell you what the games are like, who’s going to like them, and if you…

I’m Kinglink and it’s after April 1st, and that means it’s time for the Humble Choice April 2024 Review.  While a lot of people fell for the fake Humble Choice list, this list is not a fool whatever that means.  This is the actual list of games in the Humble Choice, and while it won’t match the fake list.  This one has a lot of hidden power behind it, for the right player.  But before we get…

Sega Saturn Games Retro Review - Elevator Action, Virtua Cop, and More

I’m Kinglink and last month I joined Retroachievements as an official developer, which means I can make achievement sets for pretty much whatever I want and there’s minimal oversight.  It’s a great freedom for the developer and makes me feel like I’m part of a larger team or group, and that means I can try to develop interesting achievement sets.  But that’s not the end, it opens up a lot of…

Dynasty Warriors 3 Retro Review - Rediscovering the classic

I’m Kinglink and… ugh… Dynasty Warriors 9 is so … meh.  There’s something I’ve been struggling with for the last half of 2023, and while it’s older than that time period, I think Dynasty Warriors 9 is an example of it.  It feels like games have been made to be more disposable.  More designed to give you dopamine hits for enjoying it but also able to shake you off and make you go play the next…
