  • Who Am I?

     

    Yo! My name is Robbie. Join me as I fumble through this blog thing and rattle on about games and stuff that I like!

    I don’t feel like there are many gamers out there with my kind of tastes – at least it feels that way most of the time – so I’m starting this page in hopes of finding others out there, who like me, have strange kinda tastes.

    This is going to be interesting.

    So, if you’ve somehow found yourself here, then I hope you manage to dig A Certain Kind of Gamer.

TUTORIAL: Make Game-Specific Executables For MAME/PCSX2 ROMS & Games In Windows 10 // Gorgeous POOTERMAN Icons

May 9, 2018 · by akumajobelmont

I’ll get to the Tutorial in a second, but I’ve really got to go into what inspired this post in the first place.

So, I finally sat down and went through DeviantArt ICON (ha!) POOTERMAN’s gallery. I’ve been meaning to download all of the icons he’s made to replace my own for a while now, and being laid up with a bad back today was the perfect excuse to get cracking and just do it.

SURPRISINGLY GREAT – Hot Wheels Velocity X: Maximum Justice (PS2/GC/PC) // The NOT-Review

May 1, 2018 · by akumajobelmont

I really didn’t think I’d be sitting at my desk – in 2018, no less – writing about how fantastic a game Hot Wheels Velocity X: Maximum Justice is, yet here we are.

Licensed games of the 90s/00s could be hit or miss. OK, they were mostly misses, as with startling regularity, hot properties of the day were shoehorned into genres they had no place being in. Home Improvement SNES, anybody?

Playstation 2 Trash – SHOVELWARE to AVOID. Or Not… OOOH MYSTERY!

January 30, 2018 · by akumajobelmont

Shovelware!

If your platform is selling gang-busters, then expect the shovelware to start flooding the system in no time at all! The Playstation 2 definitely did well – and there is a veritable RUBBISH TIP worth of the stuff on the system.

So, I found a box of PS2 games in my wardrobe the other day, and I was immediately drawn to the cheap cover art that some of the games exhibited. When did I buy all this trash? I cannot for the life of me remember.

So I dug out the old PS2 Slim, set-up my XRGB-Mini, and proceeded to make my way through them, game by game, taking video and snapping screenshots along the way.

And lucky you, yes you right there! You get to suffer through them with me!

Bring a sick bag!

As you lot know, I am very much looking forward to Bitmap Bureau’s new Mega Drive/Dreamcast game Xeno Crisis.

And judging by the success of the Kickstarter campaign, it’s abundantly clear that I’m not the only one.
