TWK Reviews Episode 99: The Simpsons Hit and Run (Patreon Request)

T Dub

Hello Hero-Club, welcome everyone to a review for the acclaimed licensed game, The Simpsons: Hit and Run. Now, the game was originally a Playstation 2 exclusive title in 2003, but was later ported to other systems. Whereas, it is another adaptation for one of the longest running media properties created within the past fifty years. So, for those who do not know about the Simpsons, I suggest checking out its re-runs on FXX or binging the show on Disney+.   However, the game was developed by Radical Entertainment who previously…

TWK Reviews Episode 76: Is WWE 2K24 Universally Great?

T Dub

Hello, Hero Club, TDub here and today we’re talking about the latest entry from both WWE and 2K, the aptly titled WWE 2K24 and for the sake of full transparency, the version I’m playing is the Playstation 5 version. One of the more interesting things regarding the WWE 2K series is how it all traces itself back to the SmackDown games on the Playstation 1 (shout out to Sony for keeping a consistent naming scheme going whilst Microsoft continues to make things confusing AF) and those first few titles were…

TWK Reviews Episode 75: Was WWE 2K15 Really That Bad?

T Dub

Hello, Hero Club, TDub here and welcome to my review of WWE 2K15 which is the WWE 2K debut on the Playstation 4/XBox One systems. From the game’s debut to now it is among one of the more maligned titles in the franchise and within this video you will see why but before we get to that let’s talk about CM Punk. You see, this game is the final time we get to play as Mr. Punk until his return to the virtual squared circle in 2023’s AEW Fight Forever…

TWK Reviews Episode 73: Arkham Asylum is Still My Favorite Batman Game

T Dub

Hello, Hero Club, TDub here once again with another new video game review with this video focusing on the remaster of Batman: Arkham Asylum known simply as Return to Arkham Asylum. Believe it or not, this was not my introduction to the Arkham franchise as that honor goes to Batman: Arkham City but I’ll go into more detail about that once we reach that proverbial bridge. What I will say is that my experience with City was more than enough to put my money down and purchase a copy of…

TWK Reviews Episode 72: Ratchet and Clank 3 is a Very 2000s Game

T Dub

Hello, Hero Club, TDub here and welcome to my latest video, Rachet and Clank 3 aka Up Your Arsenal which was developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Computer Entertainment and released in November of 2004 for the Playstation 2. Believe it or not, this game served as my introduction to the R & C franchise and what an intro it is. if you have never played a Ratchet and Clank game then get ready for a galaxy wide journey filled with wacky weapons and crazy characters with a…

TWK Reviews Episode 71: WWE ’13 is THE Attitude Era Game

T Dub

Hello, Hero Club, TDub here and after taking a couple of weeks for a nice winter holiday, as well as one to deal with a mild cold, I have now returned to take a look at the 2012 offering from THQ and Yuke’s known as WWE ’13! The main draw of WWE ’13 is its inclusion of the Attitude Era which lasted from 1997 until 2001 when the World Wrestling Federation purchased its rival company, World Championship Wrestling, and essentially monopolized mainstream wrestling for nearly two entire decades. That last…

TWK Reviews Episode 69: Celebrating 25 Years of Ocarina of Time

T Dub

Hello, Hero Club, TDub here and welcome to my video celebrating twenty five years of The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time which was released on the Nintendo 64 back in 1998. To say Ocarina of Time changed how games were made is an understatement. You can, more or less, see how 3D games were programmed pre and post-Ocarina of Time.   I know that with all of the praise this games receives that also means there is the inevitable backlash as well and while it isn’t perfect, OoT is…

TWK Reviews Episode 68: Otaku Time With NJPW Tōhkon Road 2

T Dub

Hello, Hero Club, TDub here and welcome to my latest video, NJPW Tōhkon Road 2: The Next Generation which was developed by Yuke’s (WWE SmackDown/AEW Fight Forever) and published by Hudson (Bomberman/Mario Party) and yes, this is indeed quite the combination to release a game for the Nintendo 64. One of my favorite parts of playing these wrestling games from Japan is that it allows me to see the world of pro wrestling outside of the WWE bubble and I can not help but feel like that’s something every fan…

TWK Reviews Episode 67: EA Enters the Ring with WCW Mayhem

T Dub

Hello, Hero Club, TDub here, and welcome to my review of Electronic Arts’ debut in the world of professional wrestling video games aka WCW Mayhem. Yes, we’re talking about THAT EA. The one that forced microtransactions into games. The one who many believe to be the most evil video game company in the world although I personally think that Activision-Blizzard have been doing one heck of a job catching up in that department. However, I digress, as not only is this EA’s initial WCW game but also the first without…

TWK Reviews Episode 66: WCW/nWo Revenge is THE Sequel

T Dub

Hello, Hero Club, TDub here and welcome to my review of WCW/nWo Revenge which was released for the Nintendo 64 back in the year 1998. To say that WCW was en fuego during this time would be an understatement. In fact, both WWF and WCW were firing on all cylinders as far as fan support was concerned. WCW had nWo Hollywood, nWo Wolfpac, Diamond Dallas Page, Sting, Goldberg and a whole load of cruiserweights putting on classics whilst WWF were running wild with the Corporation, Steve Austin, the Ministry of…
