Robo Revenge Squad would be a great jazz fusion band name.

BOO! I’ve got some goodies for all you trick or treaters out there! Game reviews I’ve recently written at GamerDad.com for you all to read! Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe even post a ‘like’ or comment or two. I’d appreciate it.
Now this one is really good! One of the reasons why the Nintendo GameCube was one of my top favorite consoles was all the 3-D adventures I could sink my teeth into. I really miss those days. Fast forward to today where I mostly review indie titles that are average at best. Sure every once in a while I might play one that’s mildly amusing, but it’s getting rarer and rarer. Which is why Tinykin is such a surprise! It reminds me of a cross between two quirky GameCube 3-D adventures: Pikmin and Chibi-Robo. And I enjoyed it so much that I didn’t want to stop playing it!
Minecraft has got to be one of the most popular video games of all time. But believe it or not, I’ve never played it! Oh sure, I’ve watched my brothers play it, and I’ve reviewed Minecraft Story Mode and even ate the cereal! But I’ve stayed away from the main game. Mainly because it looks too addictive! I’m bad enough as it is with Animal Crossing! But Minecraft is so popular that the characters are in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, so of course they made amiibo figures out of them. And I just got them so let’s take a look!
Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? (Switch)
Are you Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? is a TV quiz game show where adults try and answer questions that an elementary school kid might learn. But since it’s been a long time since we were in grade school, and may not remember all those facts, that may be harder than it seems! Luckily contestants on this show can get limited help from a panel of real life elementary school kids! And now you can play a video game based on this show for current game consoles (reviewed on Switch here). But wow, is this TV show even still on? I reviewed a 3DS version of this game show WAY back in 2015!
Next are a couple of shooters. I love how the title of this game is just some average guy’s name. When I did an image search to get pictures for this review, at first all I got was a bunch of dudes’ faces! That cracked me up. I can’t wait until they come out with a game called “Cary Woodham.” What kind of game would you think that would be? Well this game is a standard 2-D side scrolling shooter.
Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid: Burst Forth!! Choro-gon Breath (PS4)
Wow, now that’s a mouthful of a title! But what does all that mean? Well, “Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid” is a popular Japanese comic book manga series and anime cartoon. It’s about an ordinary office lady who one day stumbles on a dragon from another world. This dragon magically transforms into a maid lady and offers to clean her house in return for room and board. But when you’ve got a dragon in your house, nothing is ever ordinary and Miss Kobayashi and her dragon girl friends have lots of adventures and escapades together. And now they’re in their own video game! Here they are trapped inside a computer and the only way to get out is to play a 2-D vertically scrolling bullet hell shooter!
You are a little bouncing ball with a backwards cap enjoying a day with your pink ball girlfriend. But suddenly a mean green ball riding a dragon takes her to his castle, so you must bounce your away around 2-D obstacles to save her. At first glance this may look like one of those super challenging and frustrating Super Meat Boy style games, but it’s actually not that bad.
Play as two heroic jetpack riding kids as you chuck bombs at enemy robots and collect diamonds to buy upgrades in Dyna Bomb 2. It’s a colorful 2-D platformer available for all current consoles, but reviewed on Switch here. I never played the first Dyna Bomb game, so I don’t know what’s changed or improved in the sequel.
Play a handful of sports in colorful 2-D areas with Narona Sports on Switch. Unlike most sports games, where you view the action in 3-D or in top down fashion, here it’s a side scrolling affair and kind of reminds me of a game I reviewed earlier this year called Kung-Fu Kickball. You’ll play games like Soccer, Basketball, Volleyball, and even some I’ve never heard of like Ulama and Basque Ball.
Build and customize robots out of everyday parts like boxing gloves and disco balls, and then pit them against each other in top down action stages in Robot Revenge Squad.
And that’s all for now! Thanks for reading my reviews and posting ‘likes’ and comments here and there. I really do appreciate it! Happy Halloween! --Cary
