What They Call Games: May 2015
http://www.whattheycallgames.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 11, 2015. Kaze no Klonoa: Moonlight Museum (WonderSwan). Series is a bit of a overlooked cult classic kind of thing, but after playing the fantastic PlayStation original, I was ready for more. If you haven't played it, I highly recommend it. This sequel for WonderSwan (the Japan-exclusive handheld console by Bandai) on the other hand, while not bad, isn't exactly a must-play. You grab enemies and use them as a double jump. This enemy is also a bomb. Wahoo! If you aren't familiar with Klonoa.

What They Call Games: August 2016

Saturday, August 13, 2016. Who likes grinding in RPGs? And so, to settle the debate, I asked the people internet about their play styles, specifically in regards to optional level grinding in offline, single-player RPGs. To make sure everyone was on the same page, I (and Wikipedia) defined "level grinding" as "engaging in repetitive tasks (e.g. fighting enemies repeatedly) in order to increase the strength of the player's character or party members". Here are the results:. Well, I asked that too:. Ask me...

Friday, May 27, 2016. Teachtv - A hypothetical education-based live-streaming sister site to Twitch.tv. This logo sucks. Dammit Jim, I'm a writer, not a graphic designer! Since this post was written, I actually attempted to stream a Japanese lesson to Twitch. Check it out! Keep in mind that this concept is largely based on Twitch.tv's model and was originally conceptualized as an Education category for Twitch, which I shared to Reddit on May 22nd, 2016. Advantages Over Pre-Recorded Content. Image sources...

What They Call Games: Paper Mario: Color Splash [Review]
http://www.whattheycallgames.com/2016/10/paper-mario-color-splash-review.html
Wednesday, October 5, 2016. Paper Mario: Color Splash [Review]. This product was provided to me by Nintendo. Opinions are my own. It's the game hated by the masses as early as its first reveal trailer, and now it's here to make those conclusion jumpers eat their words. Well, partially at least. Is indeed reminiscent of Sticker Star. In many ways, but it improves on the Sticker Star. This is where I'd put my plot. IF I HAD ONE! The Overworld and Gameplay. Compared to the first two Paper Mario. Before movi...

What They Call Games: March 2016
http://www.whattheycallgames.com/2016_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 11, 2016. Flamebreak - MOBA-inspired, Roguelike, Twin-stick, Action RPG. Genre: Action/RPG - Platform: PC - Release: March 15, 2016. Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this game to review from the developer; opinions expressed in this review are my own. A typical enemy encounter. Deciding where to go on the map screen is a game in itself. Check out my completed run. Beware of minor spoilers though. Note: the graphical glitch near the end of the video was on my end, not the game's.].

What They Call Games: April 2015
http://www.whattheycallgames.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 20, 2015. ESPN InterMASHional Track and Field (PS2). Release: Q4, 2000 - Genre: Sports, duh - Console: PS1, PS2, DC, N64, GBC. In general though, the gameplay is simple, boring, and sometimes unclear. Worse, unlike real sports or other sports games, each minigame offers little room for improvement after you've mastered it, which will only take a couple of attempts. Honestly, I could probably just end the review here, but I'm sure you'd all like to see how these minigames are, so. Once again...
