Tokyo Xtreme Racer Franchise – Fixing a 20 year old game, and the future of the series

KinglinkLeave a comment

I’m Kinglink and it’s been around a year since I did something. Maybe I should finally talk about it. But before we go into that, I want to take you back. Not a year, not 5 years, not even 15 years, but over 20 years and a touch before the most important part of this story. 

In 2001 I picked up a game, simply put it was really good. That game was known as Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero. This was already a large franchise before this point, which was relatively popular. It had two major releases on the Dreamcast. Technically, this was the thirteenth title in the series, so I was a bit late, and yet it was the first that I and many other people found because it was the first on the PlayStation 2

Now, I love driving, but since I’ve been living in Southern California for the last decade, driving is a lot less like the game, and a lot more like this. It doesn’t matter, middle of the night, and of course there’s traffic. The good news is that this is the type of escapism that Tokyo Xtreme Racer is designed for.

Humble Choice October 2024 Review – So Long and Thanks for All the Games.

Kinglink1 Comment

I’m Kinglink and it’s October 2024. And this will be my final Humble Choice Review.

I mentioned at the end of the last video that I have been making Humble Choice Reviews for five years, as of September and so I’m making one last video for all of you. After that, I am not planning to continue the Humble Choice coverage on this channel. If you still want excellent reviews of the Humble Choice, please check out Stealthy Shiroen’s videos. I’ll try to add a card here, and a link in the description. 

That being said, I still have to cover the Humble Choice October 2024 review, and you know what, this is ending with a major set of games. 

One other piece of bad news, unfortunately there was an audio issue with at least with our first two games, the video won’t sound correct, however the audio did sound correct on my TV, so… There’s something going on but I don’t see any complaints about it so I’m assuming it’s a personal issue. There is enjoyable music still, but it’s lacking the central channel with the voice audio. I spent over two hours working on this. I’d work more on it, but with this being the last video. Ehh. we’ll live. These reviews have never been intended to be a Let’s Play, so check one of those if you want a better auditory experience.

Let’s get started with what’s on the screen.

Humble Choice June 2024 Review – That’s the Humble I Remember

Kinglink2 Comments

I’m Kinglink, it’s June so it’s time for the Humble Choice June 2024 review.  Almost half the year has passed and we’ve had some amazing bundles… And then there’s this month. 

Like always, I played these games on stream for an hour, 90 minutes for one of them, and I’m a bit surprised. After checking out the games, I can now tell you what the games are like, who’s going to like them, and if you should check them out. 

And if you’re wondering which game I played for 90 minutes… let’s talk about the game on the screen.

Kinglink2 Comments

I’m Kinglink and it’s past the first week of May, so it’s time for a Humble Choice May 2024 Review. 

This month we have two headliners, and the first game is from my favorite series, so I’m ready to go. I’ve played all the games for an hour on stream, and one of them with the viewers as well. Now I can tell you what the games are like, how they play, and if you might enjoy them. 

There’s a lot to get through but I can’t wait to talk about the game already on the screen. Let’s get started!

Humble Choice April 2024 Review – Quite a month

Kinglink1 Comment

I’m Kinglink and it’s after April 1st, and that means it’s time for the Humble Choice April 2024 Review. 

While a lot of people fell for the fake Humble Choice list, this list is not a fool whatever that means.  This is the actual list of games in the Humble Choice, and while it won’t match the fake list.  This one has a lot of hidden power behind it, for the right player. 

But before we get into looking at the entire bundle, Let’s talk about what each game is about, who will like them, what’s good, and what’s bad about each offering.  I’m also going to start adding a link to the stream, for people who think the clips here are not long enough, I agree, but if you want 8 hours of me looking like a goober while playing games, there you go. 

Let’s start with what’s on the screen.

Humble Choice March 2024 Review – 3 Major AAA titles

KinglinkLeave a comment

I’m Kinglink, it’s March, so it’s time for the Humble Choice March 2024 Review. 

Once again I’ve streamed each game for an hour on Twitch and if you watch you probably know what I’m thinking but if not, I’m ready to let you know what’s hot and what’s not about each title, as well as if you should check them out, and who should play them. 

We have 8 games, as well as a mega-hit that hasn’t gone for that cheap before.  I also have a bit of history with two games, but it’s a pretty high-power month.  Let’s get started with what’s already on screen…

Sega Saturn Games Retro Review – Elevator Action, Virtua Cop, and More

KinglinkLeave a comment

I’m Kinglink and last month I joined Retroachievements as an official developer, which means I can make achievement sets for pretty much whatever I want and there’s minimal oversight.  It’s a great freedom for the developer and makes me feel like I’m part of a larger team or group, and that means I can try to develop interesting achievement sets. 

But that’s not the end, it opens up a lot of doors, and one of those doors is the ability to participate in what’s known as DevJams. DevJams are a way to focus on a single system, especially systems that never had an official launch on the site, and try to work together to develop as many achievement sets for those games. 

As this video comes out it’s the Sega Saturn’s turn, and honestly… I don’t have much to say about the Saturn, well I can say one thing, I think I’ve only ever seen one or two Sega Saturns if that and I’m definitely sure I’ve never seen one actually set up or running.   That’s not super surprising, the console never sold well, like two million units in America.  And the fifth generation was dominated by the PlayStation and even after that the N64 was everywhere, so I’m not surprised. 

But I don’t want this to be a discussion of the Sega Saturn, a console I’ve really never seen, this is more a discussion of the games, and I have two amazing titles to talk about, there are technically three games in this video though.

Humble Choice January 2024 – Starting the year with a big Choice

KinglinkLeave a comment

I’m Kinglink and I want to wish you all a Happy New Year, which means it’s time for the Humble Choice January 2024 Review. 

With it being a new year, it means Humble has a chance to start this year off with a bang, and I think this is an interesting bundle.  There’s going to be a lot of strong opinions on this one and that’s going to revolve around the titles.    

As usual I’ve played all of these titles for an hour, and once again I was able to do an eight-hour stream.  No, I didn’t spend an hour staring at the Dr. Strange Model… I probably should have compared it to a couple of these titles.

But let’s get started with the game already on screen.

Humble Choice December 2023 – This is what I’m looking for.

KinglinkLeave a comment

I’m Kinglink and I just finished off the turkey from Thanksgiving, so that means it’s time for the Humble Choice December 2023 Review.

This month we have 8 games and more.  So last month I forgot to mention there was a 1 month DC Comics subscription, apparently I wasn’t alone because it’s back this month and now it’s in the list of games.   Just want to mention it because I probably will forget it later. 

I’ve done an eight-hour straight stream, checking out these games, though honestly, I didn’t need all that time.  I’ve played over half of these previously, many on Xbox Game Pass, and now have a chance to take a second look and cover them in this series.  So let’s get on with that right away.

There’s a ton to talk about so let’s start with a title I already owned.
