Pray For Death

 

Pray For Death

 

Pray for Death is a game that I never even heard of back in the day because it was only on PC. Which is too bad because it feels pretty similar to Killer Instinct Gold, and it would have made for a great N64 game to play at sleepovers. 

The game is really cheesy which I like, and the gameplay is okay, yeah it’s similar to Killer Instinct Gold, but a very rough around the edges KI Gold. I’d like to see a remaster of this game just with smoothed out gameplay, updated graphics, and online play. Just as long as they kept all of the cheesiness intact.

The Dollary Doo Factor. My biggest complaint about this game is the price, 10 dollary doos is way too much, and in the rare instances it goes on sale, it never drops below 7 dollary doos. A 1 dollary doo sale price a couple of times a year would do wonders, it’s hard to get mad at something you only spent 1 dollary doo on.

The Community Hub for this game is pretty bare at the moment, so I slapped together a PRAY FOR DEATH MOVE LIST GUIDE.

Also, Pantera is bae.

Carmageddon Max Pack

 

Carmageddon Max Pack

 

PROS

-Running over people and cows is obviously fun.

-90’s graphics.

-90’s metal music. I swear one of the guitar rifts is taken straight out of the Johnny Cage vs Scorpion fight from the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie, big if true.

-FMV videos of the drivers’ faces while driving is charming as fuck.

-Die Anna is an absolute QT, and I love most of her FMV face reactions while driving. Unfortunate side note: whenever you flip your car over the FMV of Die Anna does that weird Jenna Ortega Wednesday Addams sperg lord face (you know the gif), and it takes me out of the 90’s.

CONS

-The controls are very very very sloppy. You can’t just hold down RT and wiggle the left analog stick, you will die, so you need to sort of just tap the gas here and there. And OF COURSE you will need to JoyToKey yourself a proper controller scheme. 

-The game can crash on you.

OVERALL THOUGHTS

90’s Charm vs Sloppy Controls…

…I am going to recommend this game, but be warned, it will be extremely painful…..FOR YOU!! DEEP DISCOUNT ONLY.

 

Wrestlign Revolution 2D

 

Wrestling Revolution 2D

 

PROS

-Fun gameplay.

-Made me LOL IRL a few times.

-Career mode is entertaining.

-It has a Create-A-Wrestler mode, and I’m a big CAW mark.

-Features such legends as:

Hank Slogan (Hulk Hogan), Sucka G (Booker T), Nightshift (Undertaker), Emma Roused (Ronda Rousey), John Darnit (Jim Cornette), & Ronald Weiner (Norman Smiley….I think).

-Ronald Weiner

CONS

-Selecting your character’s moves in the Create-A-Wrestler mode is kind of broken.

-No way to remap the controls, I even tried switching it to keyboard and using JoyToKey, but that only made matters worse, I just wanted to move Grapple from Y to A.

OVERALL THOUGHTS

Chaos at its finest. Don’t let the meme graphics & gameplay fool you, this is a great wrestling game. If you’ve ever been a fan of WCW/nWo Revenge or WWF No Mercy on the Nintendo 64, then this is a must buy. 

I almost went with Wrestling Empire made by the same guy, but went with Wrestling Revolution 2D instead because it was cheaper, and I’m glad I did. I feel like the 2D gameplay helps control the chaos a bit more. I’ll probably still end up getting Wrestling Empire down the road when it’s on a deep discount though. 

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. 

 

Vampire Survivors

 

  Vampire Survivors 

 

Vampire Survivors is a game where you play as Alucard from Castlevania Symphony of the Night. Alucard has been down on his luck and turned to using Walter White’s blue crystal as a quick pick me up. However the only way to get blue crystal is by slaughtering tens of thousands of Vampire Barts, Zoombies, Big Wolf, Plant With Mouth, and Skelly Mans.

PROS

-Addicting leveling up system.

-Only requires a left thumb to enjoy, Left Thumb Havers we eatin’ good tonight!

-Enjoyable looking sprites.

CONS

-Difficult. I can only last a few minutes before my body explodes, amirite fellas? Well, not me personally, but a guy I know. Well, but you could imagine what it would be like.

OVERALL THOUGHTS

Simple gameplay that really starts to heat up as each minute passes. The power ups you receive on the battlefield mean everything to your survival, but they will be random, so some games play out better than others. It’s a good game to play while listening to a podcast.
