Celebrating the joy that all different kinds of videogames can bring, our Save State column is written by longtime gamer and GiN reviewer Vincent Mahoney. He plays way too many games to be able to officially review them all, but we can tap into his amazing gaming world and learn about some hidden gems right here in Save State!
This week our Save State columnist has some guests in for Christmas, so he entertains them with repeated bouts of the oddly fun Mario Party Superstars. And then to unwind from all that fun, he dives into the even weirder Eastward adventure game. It’s holiday hijinks all week!
This week our Save State columnist takes a look at two action-heavy games from the past, the Record of Lodoss War Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth RPG and the Darius Gaiden shump.
This week our intrepid Save State game slayer tries to save Tokyo from a demon invasion in the extremely unique RPG Shin Megami Tensei V from Atlus.
Vincent spends some time with an old favorite, Castlevania. With classic games from that series wrapped up in new collections like the Castlevania Advance Collection, he’s almost getting carpal tunnel from swinging that whip.
Vincent had a great time with Blaster Master Zero II last year, so it makes sense that he would dive into the new Blaster Master Zero 3 game from Inti Creates. Three takes everything up a notch for some master blasting fun.
With Metroid Dread finally hitting the ground, Vincent goes deep into the back catalog of games to see how the series has evolved over the years, and makes some predictions about what we will find when we dive into the amazing world of Dread.
With Metroid Dread right on the horizon, our jittery Save State columnist dives into another revered title in that series, Metroid II: Return of Samus. Lets see how he does with this really old-school shooter.
Our Save State supreme columnist admits that he is pretty much rubbish at fighting games, but that has not curtailed his love for pugilistic pummeling. This week he takes a swing at Guilty Gear Strive. Will it be a knockout?
One of the most unique adventure games to come out in a long time, Road 96 puts players on a sometimes bizarre journey where you try to escape a totalitarian regime by hitchhiking to the border with a rotating cast of strange characters.
This week our Save State Columnist gets pulled into quite a trial, or actually a series of them with The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. He gets so into it that he needs to take a break by heading into space with the classic Nintendo DS Game Meteos. It’s been a strange time, but the games are great!
