Resident Evil: Director's Cut | Video Review

Developer: Capcom

Publisher: Capcom

Available on: PlayStation, PC

Released: September 25th, 1997

What better way of celebrating Halloween than to take a look at one of the first true horror games and the game that coined the term 'survival horror'; Resident Evil. But rather than taking a look at the original version (released in 1996) I want to explore the director's cut edition which was released a year later. This version offers some new modes, new camera angles, new weapons and a few more features too, thus making it the most complete version of the original game on the PS1 (at least in Europe anyway).

So, let's delve in and take a look at Resident Evil: Director's Cut and see if it still holds up today, or whether it's a dated relic and you should stick to playing the excellent remake (originally released on the GameCube but now available on PS4, PC and Xbox One).

SNES Classic Edition | Video Review

Developer: Nintendo

Distributor: Nintendo

Released: September 29^th 2017

After all of my anticipation and hypothesising, the SNES Classic Edition is finally here! It features twenty-one games (including the never before released Star Fox 2) and a new rewind function that wasn't present on the NES Classic Edition. Now I've had a chance to get past the hype and use the device for myself though, is the SNES Classic Edition worth your attention and money? Or does it fail in the same places the NES Classic Edition did? Well, in this video I give a throughout breakdown on all of the device's features and answer all of these questions and more!

Balloon Fight | Video Review

Developer: Nintendo

Publisher: Nintendo

Reviewed on: NES

Available on: NES, Arcade

Released: June 1986

Balloon Fight is a single screen platformer in which you control a boy with two balloons attached to his helmet which enables him to fly. The game can be played 2-player and is one of the finest co-op games available on the NES (along with classics such as Contra, Bubble Bobble, Ice Climber and more).

Despite it being an early release in the NES library I think the game has stood the test of time quite well, although it is lacking in certain areas which stop it being as fondly remembered as some games released later in the NES' lifespan. However, if you're looking for a way to kill an hour or so, look no further than Balloon Fight.
