Resident Evil 5 is back in the media again thanks to IGN. Gamergate 2.0 is here....although we didn't want it.

Grab your sword, shield and staffs, it is time to go back to the world of Dragon Quest.....Warrior....again. Dragon Quest 2 which was released for the NES is often considered unbalanced by many for one particular area of the game. I wanted to see what all the hub hub was about.

Alex Kidd....for years, I thought it was Alex the Kidd. I played this a lot as a kid and it horrified me. It came free with the Sega Master System and was Sega's attempt to make a mascot.  Making their debut to the show is Dave McG who has been dubbed my Master System guy.

There are some games I love, there are some I hate. This is definitely one I hate, Breath of Fire for the Super Nintendo. A lot of people have told me it is a great game full of charm and an RPG for the ages. My guest, Captain N thinks so, where he goes to bat and tries to survive on that hill of us. Despite my feelings towards Breath of Fire, we had a lot of fun recording this episode and I hope...

Tekken 8 has just been released to postive reviews, so I thought what better time to discuss me some more Tekken. This week, myself and Jake Macauley, are talking about Tekken Tag Tournament, a release title for the PlayStation 2. Some call it just an upscaled Tekken 3....and....that game was awesome. Namco had a classic in this one for sure.  Join me on the following socials  Twitter: @retrowarsu...

Get your tanks ready, we are going into war....an Advance War...s. Yes, Advance Wars on the GBA. It was another new one for me but I wish I had played this earlier.

He was extremely keen to play this and I was for than happy to oblige.  You can follow me on the following socials: Twitte...

I know this is not Mega Man legends, it is not my fault, I blame my guest David and the wheel of destiny. This week, we are covering, Mega Man 64 for the N64.

I was in love with the Power Rangers when I was growing up, I could not get enough of them. The games however, had a lot to be desired. I was asked my by guest, Lyndsey Norris, to play the game boy version which made up part of her childhood.

It is back to the movies and with episode 100 coming up, I think it will be a good idea to bring Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children to the front of the que.

To help me go through this, I am joined by Chris from the Retro Hangover Podcast and newcomer, Sam, from the Retrotopia podcast. You can follow m...

I remember when I first saw this game, I instantly thought...GUNDAM....IT'S A GUNDAM. I have begged for Gundam games to be like this. But for now, let me just enjoy what we have here, Zone of the Enders. I have regularly been told, play the second, the second is better. This may be true but I want to make sure we cover the first before we dive into that one.  This week, I am joined by debutant, Bl...

After a week off due to illness, the show is back, and back with a banger in Castlevania - Aria of Sorrow. I got to play this whilst I was ill last year in hospital. I was asked by this weeks guest, Chris Coplien from the Retro Hangover podcast. The dream of this show is that I get to play games I have never played before, and Aria of Sorrow is one of them. I had a ball playing this, and call me a...

A few weeks ago, I attended PAXAUS for the first time and had an amazing experience. It was unlike anything I had been to before. It was a gaming home if you will. I went down with the family and met a load of new people, and it is time to tell you all about it. I talk about what I saw, what I did, who I met and some of the amazing games I played. My guest this week is Aaron from Press play on the...
