A Review Of Big Buck Hunter Arcade For Some Reason

~ Andrew Lokken ~ 1 Comment

The other day, popular Twitter and Bluesky account, Wario64, posted that Big Buck Hunter Arcade was being delisted from Steam on Tuesday and it was currently $10. With the exception of an old Windows Phone version, I have never played any of the home releases of the Big Buck Hunter series, mostly because I just don’t think the game would work without the actual arcade setup. That being said, I love the arcade game, so I decided to download Big Buck Hunter Arcade to my Steam Deck.

Crow Country Review

The original PlayStation gave us some of the most genre defining survival horror games. Games like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Dino Crisis, and many more introduced us to the idea of puzzle solving and inventory management while overwhelming monstrosities tried to kill us. This approach would later shift to being more about action after the success of Resident Evil 4, but many people missed the slower, scarier style of the older games.

Top Ten Games of 2023

It’s the start of the new year and that means it’s time to reflect on my favorite games of last year. As I do every year, I will be listing my ten favorite games of the year, with a couple rules.

The other rule is that the game had to release for the first time in the US in 2023. I don’t think there’s any weird examples of that with what I played, but it does come up in some previous years.

Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw Demo Impressions

It wasn’t any sort of surprise that following the success of the Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes, a remake of 4 would soon follow. It is a little disappointing for some people, like me, that Capcom chose to skip over Code Veronica, an important chapter in the overall story and a game that’s more in need a remake in favor of 4, but it is a logical idea. The original Resident Evil 4 shook up the formula of the series, going in a more action heavy direction that brought in a much larger audience than the previous games, and would go on to influence the survival horror genre in general. The remake comes out at the end of this month, and like they did with the last few Resident Evil games, Capcom has put out a demo. So let’s take a look at it.
