TWK Reviews Episode 65: A Quick Look at Pokémon Stadium 2

T Dub

Hello, Hero Club, TDub here and welcome to my review of Pokemon Stadium 2 which was released for the Nintendo 64 back in the year 2000 (insert Conan O’Brien reference here). During this time, Pokemania was running about as rampant as anything could possibly could. If you were alive during this time then you knew the term, “Pokemon” or as many called it, “Pokie-mon”. With the franchise at a fever pitch, there was not only the main handheld games, a super popular anime, and movies, but of course there had…

TWK Reviews Episode 64: The Ups and Downs of Super Mario 64

T Dub

Hello, Hero Club, TDub here and welcome to my review of the game that changed everything as we knew it, Super Mario 64 which was released in 1996 as the debut game for the Nintendo 64. Prior to this entry, Mario games were seen as relatively simple affairs. You’d go from left to right, reach the end of the stage, and repeat until you finished the game. Sure, there would be a secondary path or two that would lead you to an alternate exit but that was about it. Here…

TWK Reviews Episode 57: Final Fantasy 7 Remake is Almost Perfect

T Dub

Hello, Hero Club, TDub here and welcome to my review of Final Fantasy 7 Remake for the Playstation 5. The original FF7 is among my absolute favorites so you can bet when the much anticipated remake was announced that I was beyond hyped for its release.   In my opinion, Square-Enix did a stellar job remaking it or at least remaking the first few hours and turning them into their own full blown RPG. Is there padding? Yes, but in the end I feel like it all works out. However,…

TWK Reviews Episode 49: Portal 2 Still Holds Up

T Dub

Hello, Hero-Club, TDub here once again with a video game review! For this time around, I am taking a look at the 2011 classic from Valve, Portal 2! For those unaware or too young to know, before creating the Steam store, Valve used to regularly develop and publish video games. Not only that, but almost every release would become an instant classic. For example, Half-Life, Half-Life 2, Left 4 Dead, Counter-Strike, Team Fortress 2, and Portal were those games.   To say that Portal took the gaming world by storm…

T Dub

Hello there Hero-Club, TDub here once again with another video game review. This time I am looking at a fighting game adaptation of the iconic Dragon Ball Z series known as Budokai 2. Now, for anyone uninitiated, Dragon Ball Z is the second part of Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball franchise. Originally starting as Dragon Ball, then transitioning into Z the series would go onto become an international sensation. Then GT immediately followed Z, but it was entirely produced by Toei Animation, which most fans did not enjoy.   Thankfully, none…

T Dub

Hello there everyone, TDub here once again with another video game review. This time I am looking at Mario Kart’s debut into the world of three dimensions, Mario Kart 64! Now, believe it or not, Mario Kart is 25 years old which means it might be older than Hero-Club’s audience. So, please excuse me whilst I start yelling at some clouds like a typical old man.   Anyway, I will not be looking at the original Mario Kart 64, but the version available through Nintendo Switch Online. As a result,…
