Review: Shantae: Risky's Revenge - Director's Cut
~2 min read 
Shantae: Risky’s Revenge is a bit of an aberration. Oh no, it’s not a bad game, not at all. It’s a great game. It improves upon the original in many ways. And yet, I rate it slightly below the original. It’s the rare case of an excellent sequal to an excellent game being somehow better and yet worse than the original.
Review: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
~3 min read 
I first played through Ocarina of Time about a year and a half after it’s release. It was the spring of 2000, and I had purchased an N64 on eBay during my first year of college. I was enthralled. So was my girlfriend at the time. My grades surely suffered, but it was worth it. This was the greatest game of all time, an experience unrivaled. I held it on that pedestal for over a decade. A year later when Majora’s Mask was released, I couldn’t bring myself to play it. It just couldn’t hold up to Ocarina.
Review: Shantae (GBC)
~2 min read 
It’s been nigh almost 13 years now since Shantae snuck out onto the Game Boy Color. All this time, I had assumed from the box art and gameplay screens it was a simple 2d side-scroller. It appeared to be critically lauded for the tight gameplay mechanics and bright colorful graphics.

If you’re reading this on your laptop or desktop computer, it’s likely you’re on a web browser. If you’re using Firefox (like I am), or Chrome, or Safari, or damn near any web browser available today you’ll have the option to open a folder of bookmarks in separate tabs at once.
Remixing Continues: Boss Fight!, Casual Katamari, Guitar-ish Thing?
~1 min read 
So the remixing of Creative Commons content into my games continues. I’ve derived the basic formula for the game’s components into base functions, and sub-classed these into sets of mini-games. I do love those mini-games. At any rate, you can see below there’s quite a few twists that have come out of my remixing efforts thus far, with many more to come.
Remixing Open Source Games With Creative Commons Content
~4 min read 
One of the great things about open source is that you’re free to modify and redistribute it in whichever way you like. This is real creative freedom that I support. All of my apps and games are open source. A while back, I helped fund the opening of some game music and art assets to the public. Being in the public domain (or having a Creative Commons license as these art assets now do) allows for public remixing and free use of the content. Gotta love that.
Review: Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse

I’ll admit it, I’m a sucker for game remakes. I went all in on Ducktales. I hope that Rescue Rangers is next. So when I saw Castle of Illusion was on sale on Steam, I knew I had to give it a shot.
Review: Super Mario Galaxy 2

Three and a half years. That’s how long it took me to review Super Mario Galaxy 2. A new console generation is a full two years in, graphics have improved everywhere, cell phones are more powerful than the original Wii console.
