A couple of months ago I reviewed the PlayDate, a new handheld gaming device that has a crank on the side that you can wind to control some of the games.  The other unique thing about this device is how you get the games.  They come two at a time and are downloaded automatically on the handheld each week on a Monday.  I talked about a few of them when I wrote my initial review, and then another batch of ten more about a month later.  And now I’ve got my final batch of ten from season one, so we’ll go over those as well as my final thoughts on the PlayDate.

Thanksgiving is coming up, so I’ve prepared for you all a feast of game reviews I’ve recently written over at GamerDad.com.  Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe post a like or comment or two.  I’d appreciate it.  After this feast of game reviews, you should all have nice fat little full bellies when you’re done reading them all!

Konami recently came out with a collection of their licensed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games they released back in the late 80s and early 90s, during the first round of the Turtles’ heyday.  Since a lot of people grew up with and enjoyed these titles, this collection is a pretty big deal.  Especially since for a long time, it would’ve been hard to get the rights to all these games again!  But I guess since Nickelodeon has all the rights to TMNT stuff now, maybe that part was easier to do?  Anyway, of course I got this collection so grab a slice of pizza and let’s take a look at the games on here as well as my personal history with each title.

My brother Ben returns and we talk about our favorite turn-based RPGs in this episode of The Pizza Pixel Podcast!  I think out of all my brothers, Ben likes RPGs the most, and since I’ve helped introduce many of them to the genre, I guess I know a bit about them, too!  I’ve definitely fell off the RPG loop now, but I was really into them way back in the 16-bit days!  So please click on the link and give it listen if you can.  I think this one’s a lot of fun!

A while back I reviewed the PlayDate, a new handheld gaming device that has a crank on the side that you can wind to control some of the games.  The other unique thing about this device is how you get the games.  They come two at a time and are downloaded automatically on the handheld each week on a Monday.  I talked about a few of them when I wrote my initial review, but since I didn’t have all the games yet in ‘season one,’ I said I would talk about more of the games later when I get a good amount of them.  So now that I’ve got a few more, let’s go over what they are here!

Pac-Man World: Re-Pac was recently released, and it’s a remake of Pac-Man World, a 3-D platformer originally on the PSOne to celebrate Pac-Man’s 20^th anniversary.  Pac-Man World may not be one of my favorite Pac-Man games, but I have a lot of special memories about it that I thought I’d share with you in this blog.  Plus my opinion on the remake, what has changed and stayed the same, etc.  So grab a bowl of Pac-Dots and let’s get chomping!

Start your engines!  For this episode we have a listener suggestion.  So my brother Jeff and I talk about our top five favorite racing games!  There’s some on here you can probably expect and guess, but I bet you’ll find a few surprises as well!  So let’s put the pedal to the metal and dash to the finish line!  Ready, set, GO!

Guess what week this is?  It’s my birthday! (Sept. 15).  But I’ve got presents for YOU!  New reviews I’ve written over at GamerDad.com!  Just what you’ve always wanted!  Please click on the links and read as many as you can and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two.  I’d appreciate it.  And in the comments section here, just for fun why don’t you give me a pretend birthday present!  It’s the thought that counts…literally!  It won’t cost you a thing and I love seeing what you all come up with.

Way back in 2019 when I went to PAX West in Seattle, I saw a new handheld console called the PlayDate.  It was simple, yellow, and had a black and white screen.  And a crank you turned on the side!  And it was just as charming as heck and I wanted one for some reason!  Well I finally got one, so let’s take a look at it!
