[Review] Battle Group 2 - Nintendo Switch

Every so often you run across a game unlike anything that you've ever played before. As a result, you aren't always quite sure what to think of that, and I'm still trying to scratch my noggin through this one for Battle Group 2.

While it bills itself as an arcade, action, strategy title, I'm not really picking up on the action or strategy portion of this game. Don't get me wrong, it's a fun game...but I think that it is best described as an arcade on-rails shmup. Where most shoot 'em ups have you flying through space, usually back forth, left and right, up and down, and occasionally some dodging and rolling to weave in and out of enemy flight and attack patterns while ground units hurl projectiles at you, Battle Group 2 puts you in the position of turret gunner on a naval ship while the computer propels you forward. As enemies fly on screen and into your sights, you swing a cursor around screen and fire at them to destroy them before they plink away at your…

Ms. Splosion Man (Switch) Ramblin' Review

The Nintendo Switch has gotten it's fair share of games originally published on the Xbox Live Arcade, and Ms. Splosion Man brought all of it's absurdity to the party. As some of my more astute readers may have noticed, I went back to the ol' Ramblin' Review subtitle for this one, and with good reason. As with many of my other reviews, this will begin with a bit of a story. 
When I finally bought a secondhand XBox360 in October of 2009, auspiciously to play Mass Effect and its (then) upcoming sequel, I realized shortly thereafter that many of the AAA games available at the time were generally just too much time investment for games that weren't wholly unique or didn't contain a gripping story with a lot of deep character interaction. There seemed to have been much more emphasis on making games that looked good and created an easy transition to the online multiplayer that the developers were really trying to sell because of the greater potential to make money on…

[Review] The Walking Vegetables: Radical Edition - Nintendo Switch

The Walking Vegetables: Radical Edition brings a light hearted zombie-horde style twin-stick shooter to the Nintendo Switch with absurd flair and lots of mutant veggies animated by crazy aliens. Yes, if you immediately thought of the Powerpuff Girls episode with the angry broccoli aliens, know that I did, too...and it's influence on this game shines very brightly, even if indirectly. If only there were a stupendous power up that allowed you to eat them to death, it could have been complete. While there are not overt Powerpuff Girl references, there are a lot of other nostalgiac game and media references to be found, which even includes a worn-VHS style warp line that loops through the screen as you play. This, along with screen shake and screen flash can be modified or turned off from the options, but it adds a nice little visual touch to the art style.

The Walking Vegetables seems to have been intended as a couch co-op shooter game in the same vein as Zombies Ate my Neighbors, a…
