Welcome to "Kefkavarium" - Pokérus Project album review

Pokérus Project, the five piece band out of Chile, returns with Kefkavarium. The band invites plenty of special guests to help tackle rearrangements of classic themes from Pokemon, Final Fantasy, Phoenix Wright, Animal Crossing, Donkey Kong Country, Legend of Zelda, and Smash Bros. I normally think of Pokérus Project as a metal group, but this album includes a healthy amount of funk as well. The combination of danceable grooves riding underneath some extra heavy guitars makes for a stand out album…

Clayfighter 63 1/3 for Nintendo 64 box art review

Nintendo forcing developers to go 3D really killed momentum for the fighting genre on Nintendo consoles. Even on playstation and in the arcades, by 1997 fighting games in general had lost some of their luster. Though a decent idea for a cash grab initially. This idea is well past the expiration date for seeing decent returns. The only chance a middling game like this has is to launch on the N64, where owners were desperate to buy anything for a reasonable price. I'm actually surprised this didn't get the "Only for" N64 tag up in the top right. I guess they were still planning that PSX release when this ugly box landed on store shelves…
