    Happy 30th Birthday Chris!!! #30thbirthday #family
    Possibly my favourite mobile game of all-time. For me. This is my LP of the PinOut OST. #DouglasHolmquist and #SusannaLundgren did an absolutely MINT job on the soundtrack. One of my absolute faves, for sure. I listen to this soundtrack at *least* every other day. #PinOut #MediocreGames #Mediocre #Android #IOS #gaming #VGM #VideoGameMusic #madeinsweden
    On the road at the moment, think I'll drive into #AssaultGunnersHD on the #NintendoSwitch. Great little game I'm really digging at the moment! It's got that PS2/Xbox-era gameplay you can't go far wrong with. Love it! #switch #gamingonthego #roadtrip #gaming #nintendo

  • 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.

AMID EVIL Preview – Yet ANOTHER Must-Have Retro Throwback FPS!

March 12, 2018 · by akumajobelmont

Developed by Indefatigable — Published by New Blood Interactive

FIND AMID EVIL ON STEAM HERE! Releases 12th/13th March!

Hoooooo boy! This Retro FPS renaissance is something I just don’t want to ever stop!

Until recently, I honestly just thought the FPS genre just wasn’t for me anymore.

Gone were the days of level designs that kept you coming back for more. No more searching every nook and cranny in hopes of finding secret health and ammo caches. Single-player is dead… it’s multi-player or die now. And damned if I don’t miss having access to a bunch of cool weapons at once.

That’s how I used to feel, anyhow. Then 2017 happened. And with the likes of DUSK, Ion Maiden and now AMID EVIL, suddenly there are FPS games for gamers like me – like us – again.

Some people will tell you that you can’t look back to move forward.

Introduce them to AMID EVIL – it begs to differ.

PREVIEW: Taking Arcade Racer SLIPSTREAM for a test drive on PC.

January 18, 2018 · by akumajobelmont

Base Profile Screenshot 2018.01.18 - 14.32.17.72

Two years ago today, 2D arcade racer Slipstream was successfully funded on Kickstarter. It hit the ground running early in the campaign, courting potential backers with a playable demo and boasting a neat Synthwave soundtrack. Slipstream made a hell of a first impression. The combination of 2D Out Run raster scrolling and the smooth Out Run 2 drift mechanics got me straight where it hurts – my weaknesses all rolled into one.
