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 October 2024 Review - So Long and Thanks for All the Games.

I’m Kinglink and it’s October 2024. And this will be my final Humble Choice Review. I mentioned at the end of the last video that I have been making Humble Choice Reviews for five years, as of September and so I’m making one last video for all of you. After that, I am not planning to continue the Humble Choice coverage on this channel. If you still want excellent reviews of the Humble Choice,…

I’m Kinglink. It’s the first week of September, so let’s do the Humble Choice September 2024 Review.  We have a lot of major titles I’m excited to talk about, a pretty solid lineup at first glance. I’ve played these games on a Twitch stream, and I have played a few of these previously on Game Pass and owning them myself. Now we can talk about what the games are like, who is going to enjoy them,…

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. Oh boy, this is quite a month, we’ll be all over the place and you know, we finally have a month where all the headliners aren’t at the top of the list.  That’s a clue on how this will go.  Let’s go through the rules.  I’ve played every game on stream, for at least an hour, mostly.  I…

And now I’m here to tell you…

I’m Kinglink, it’s June so it’s time for the Humble Choice June 2024 review.  Almost half the year has passed and we’ve had some amazing bundles… And then there’s this month.  Like always, I played these games on stream for an hour, 90 minutes for one of them, and I’m a bit surprised. After checking out the games, I can now tell you what the games are like, who’s going to like them, and if you…

Humble Choice April 2024 Review - Quite a month

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…

Humble Choice January 2024 - Starting the year with a big Choice

I’m Kinglink and I want to wish you all a Happy New Year, which means it’s time for the Humble Choice January 2024 Review.  With it being a new year, it means Humble has a chance to start this year off with a bang, and I think this is an interesting bundle.  There’s going to be a lot of strong opinions on this one and that’s going to revolve around the titles.     As usual I’ve played all of…

I’m Kinglink it’s November 2023 so it’s time for the Humble Choice November 2023 Review I’ve had a chance to do an eight-hour straight stream of the titles this month as well as having a lot of previous experience with three of them, so I’m here ready to tell you what I think of each title, what they’re like and who should check them out.  There’s a ton to talk about so let’s start with a title…
