A charming toy, reminiscent of newgrounds-era flash game experimentation, but ultimately forgettable as an experience.

This is, to date, Cosmo D's best title in terms of gameplay experience and mechanical design.
However - I found it the least narratively compelling. I still highly recommend you give Club Low a try, but I'm hopeful that Cosmo D's next game can marry this sort of gameplay with the strong writing of his previous work.

Your Only Move is HUSTLE dares to ask:
"what if toribash were guilty gear?"
i wish there were some sort of tutorial - the game expects you to already know what a "whiff cancel" or a "burst" is, to understand high/low blocking, and to already get what "Frame Advantage +18" means.
on the other hand, I feel like learning those things in a turn-based context is a lot easier than on-the-fly in a "real" fighting game.
that said, this goes hard, and it's only $5, so it's worth a try.

Prime is better now than it was in 2001, and stands as possibly the best entry in the franchise.
A few irritatingly repetetive slogs through previous areas damage the pacing, but the game holds together overall.
In a lot of ways, I feel like a post-Souls zeitgeist makes this game feel modern, as if Retro studios grasped an idea 20 years out of time.
I really wish we had more games like this one.

Sunset Riders' run-n-gun gameplay is servicable, but unremarkable.
What is remarkable is the uncomfortable racism and occasional spikes of unfairness to steal a few quarters.
Not a bad game overall, but certainly no Metal Slug.

there are much better tactical shooters
and there are much better character-driven competetive games
but this one is free

It's like the Sims, but with horrible UI design and lots of nipples.
Whenever you hit the A button in an empty room, the game asks if you want to start a party.
There is a stat counter for how many "hook ups" you've had, but I couldnt figure out how to have sex after an hour of trying.

This is a surprisingly in-depth dating sim / sports game combo. Tried it out for a laugh, but ended up losing track of time because I was having genuine fun. Worth giving this one a go, at least as a curiousity.

Missing a lot of the original's charm, but a great game regardless. Among the very best titles ever developed for the Wii.
1993
i love Treasure but I wish this game had better checkpoints
2005
Very good game! Very fun times! I can see reverberations of this game's design across the medium, and I respect it for that, but I don't feel like I totally understand the "this is one of my favorite games of all time" folks. Playing it for the first time 18 years later, I'm left feeling as if I'm missing some key context that takes it up that extra notch.

I would gladly blast every copy of Smash Bros into the Oort cloud if it meant we got a Power Stone 3

Wanted: Dead is a total mess, but it's lovably idiosyncratic.
It's clearly trying to emulate the trappings of PS2 action games and PS3 cover shooters - and it manages to capture both the design ethos and the charm of those old titles.
I'm not trying to convince you this is secretly a really good game - it's not - but I loved my time with it all the same.

A charming visual novel with slightly stilted writing. Worth sitting down and running through it.
