SNES Classics: Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers

For me personally, the SNES is my favorite retro console. I have so many fond memories of playing various different games on my Aunt's Super Nintendo when I would spend time with her at her house when I was a kid.

If I were to get a retro console of my own, the SNES would be at the top of the list. And the first game I would try to find and buy would be Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.

This game is considered by many hardcore gamers and critics to be average or mediocre. But for me personally it hits the perfect sweet spot. It's got plenty of replayability because you can play as multiple different rangers, and it is so easy to pick up and play. The controls are fluid and easy to master, the graphics and level design is top notch and the sound and score is fantastic. There is also plenty of variety throughout the game with different enemies, and bosses that the Rangers have to fight.

I like so many other 90's kids, grew up watching the show on Fox, and this game was a dream come true for me when I first popped it in at my Aunt's house. And ever since then I have been playing it anytime I get a chance to when I come over and visit and if it was available officially on Steam, I would buy it right now.

It is one of the first games I ever remember beating and it never ceases to put a smile on my face every time I play it. If you are a fan of SNES era beat em ups or Power Rangers, definitely play this one sometime.

The Fun Factor | What Makes Video Games Fun (Part One)

Video Games are usually synonymous with fun , much like any other form of play, video games can be a thrill to the senses and be some of the most rewarding activities out there. But what is it exactly that makes games fun? And are there particular elements in any game that determine how fun a game is and is there a way to take those elements and use them to make the experience of playing a game that is not considered fun enjoyable?  Now in order to really find out the answers to those questions, it is necessary to dig deep and discover what fun is and means, what its correlation is to video games , and how all of this creates the foundation for fun to be tied to video games. The Miriam Webster dictionary describes fun as “what provides amusement or enjoyment”. And also according to Miriam Webster, fun first appeared in the English language in the 1600s in France and the term made its way to the United States when petty criminals from London were carried over to the shores of the...

The Art Of Cheating | Power Ups and Cheats In Mobile Gaming

I have recently started to play more mobile games. And what I have noticed as of late is that so many of these games provide multiple cheats for reaching certain point goals, or winning mini games within the game. These cheats are provided deliberately by the game developers and the coders to make the player continue playing as long as possible. Even basic trivia or riddle games have the same formula. Oh and if it is a game that requires lives, even if you run out, you can watch a video or another ad and get more lives or just wait till the next day and your lives are replenished. This takes a lot out of the challenge of gaming in my eyes and makes things a lot easier for the player and easier for the developers and the companies that made the game to make more money, but it cheapens the overall gaming experience. It essentially gives the player a free pass for their mistakes. But I cannot argue against the fact that it can be effective. Thanks to these cheats I was able to continue pl...

Gaming Musings: The Next Big Breakthrough

I just like most people who are gamers or keep track of the latest gaming tech, wonder often what the next big breakthrough will be when it comes to gaming technology. Will it be bigger, stronger and faster consoles with beyond HD or 4K graphic capabilities? Or will it be another perephrial, motion control advancement or further enhancements of VR? I remember when the Nintendo Wii's motion controls were the next big evolution in gaming and being wowed by the simple act of bowling with the controllers. But that seems so quaint now and outdated. That's how fast gaming tech has advanced over the years. And I do ponder whether or not the advancement is happening too fast for us to appreciate the next great frontier in gaming and gaming technology. Take the Power Glove for example. It was a collassal failure, but it was one of the first motion controllers to ever be released to the public. And for its time, it was state of the art. Now its a joke and a meme thanks to its inclusi...
