Castelian

For the longest time growing up I had an unconscious bias against European games.  Long before I would learn where certain developers were based I learned to associate janky games with certain companies.  These were the titles that may have...

TaleSpin

They can’t all be winners.  I absolutely love the TaleSpin cartoon.  It had a different flavor from the rest of the Disney afternoon lineup and was truly unique with its art deco design.  Coming off the back of a string...

Disney’s the Little Mermaid

I loved Capcom’s Disney games growing up.  From DuckTales to Darkwing Duck, they knocked it out of the park every single time.  We’ll conveniently ignore Mickey Mousecapade as they did not develop that piece of tosh.  But even with that...

James Bond 007: the Duel

Goldeneye 007 was a landmark title for the N64 and console first person shooters as well.  Not only did it prove that the genre could work on console but it also made the James Bond license incredibly hot for nearly...
