Video game maker Capcom is recognized for a lot of their titles. But one thing they are known best for is their one-on-one fighting games. Sure there’s Street Fighter, but there’s a lot more they’ve made, too. So here’s a collection of some of Capcom’s other one-on-one fighters they’ve created over the years. And yeah, there’s some Street Fighter stuff in here, too. Capcom Fighting Collection is available on most current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here. So let’s take a look at what’s on here!
Parasite Pack (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S)
Posted on July 27th, 2022 by
Parasite Pack is actually two retro styled games in one! In Flea, you move around a constantly bouncing flea past obstacles and try to collect as many bottles of blood as you can. And Tapeworm Disco Puzzle focuses more on puzzles than action, as you must move a tapeworm around mazes collecting items and such. The pack is available to download on all current game consoles, but reviewed on PS4 here. Let’s take a look at the games!

If you like high speed futuristic racers like F-Zero or Wipeout, then you may want to check out Redout 2. Essentially more of the same from the first game, it’s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Crazy Chicken Xtreme (Switch, PS4, PS5)
Posted on July 18th, 2022 by
The Chicken Shoot, or “Moorhuhn” games as they’re called in their country of origin, has a surprising amount of history behind them. They were first created to advertise a brand of whiskey, but since this was the late 90s and early 2000s when causal PC games really hit their stride (thanks to titles like Deer Hunter), this chicken shooting game was widely distributed and gained popularity. Since then it’s become its own thing and has spawned more than 50 games on consoles, PC, and mobile devices. Plus an animated series, comic books, merchandise, and even a song. And now you can shoot those silly chickens on the Switch and PlayStation consoles with Crazy Chicken Extreme (Switch version reviewed here).
Cary’s Best Games of 2022 SO FAR Awards Show!
Posted on July 15th, 2022 by
Around this time of year, I like to make a list of my best games SO FAR, because usually the AAA titles are released later in the year during the holiday season, and the titles that came out earlier tend to be forgotten. So here’s when those games get their due. Keep in mind that this is my list only and no other outside opinions contributed. And if a game isn’t on this list, it either just didn’t appeal to me as much or I haven’t had a chance to play it yet. Ok with that out of the way, let’s begin!
Color Surge (Mobile)
Posted on July 13th, 2022 by
In this falling block match three puzzle game for iOS and Android (reviewed on iPad here), you must guide colored circles in columns and switch their colors so they match three when they hit the bottom. If you can match colors, they’ll disappear. If this sounds exactly like Columns, you’re right! I’m surprised SEGA hasn’t released that one on mobile. Or maybe they have and I don’t know it. It’s hard to keep up with all those mobile releases. Anyway, Color Surge is free to play, but you can buy more modes once you download it.
Thunder Kid 2: Null Mission (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
Posted on July 11th, 2022 by
I think this has got to be a world record! I had only reviewed the first Thunder Kid game about four months ago. And we’re already getting a sequel. Granted, I know these may have been PC games first and the releases spread out a little more. But still, I’m reviewing these games on console, so it still feels a little quick! Anyway, Thunder Kid 2 is a 3-D low poly run and gun action game that kind of reminds me of PSOne games like Mega Man Legends. The defeated robots from the first game have banned together again to rebel, and it’s up to Thunder Kid to stop them once again. The game is available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge (PS4, Switch, Xbox One, PC)
Posted on July 8th, 2022 by
When the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles came out in the late 80s, I was a little too old by then to get into it fully. I didn’t get any of the toys, and I only watched the cartoon casually, and in secret, or else I wouldn’t look cool in front of the other guys. Of course I still probably wasn’t cool so it wouldn’t have mattered. Glad those days are over. But there was one aspect of TMNT that I could really get into and not have to hide it. And that was the video games, especially the four player arcade ones. EVERYONE was playing them, and aside from Pac-Man, I probably put more quarters into the TMNT arcade game than anything else. Years later when my little brothers were born, they got into the TMNT games, too. In fact, my brother Ben owns one of those TMNT Arcade1up cabinets. And my brother Jeff and I still joke about how when he was little and would whine to our mom every time I accidentally got the pizza in Turtles in Time. That story is also how we named our podcast. So with all those great memories of the TMNT games with me, I was super excited to have the opportunity to review TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge. Over the years, many have tried to emulate the feel of the classic arcade games and failed. But does Shredder’s Revenge do it right? SPOILER ALERT: HECK YEAH IT DOES!!! It’s available on most current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
