LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars

January 31, 2023February 1, 2023 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

If there’s two things that is probably abundantly clear by now that I adore (if not, they ought to be, after 6 years of this waffling), it’s LEGO and Star Wars. Like many kids I played extensively with Denmark’s greatest gift to the world, endlessly building humongous mish-mashed creations from whatever sets I had lying … Continue reading LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap

January 24, 2023 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

While the home console releases saw fit to push The Legend of Zelda further and further into expansive 3D territory, the franchise has also maintained a strong handheld presence. The handheld Zelda games though are, for want of a better phrase, more old-fashioned. It’s here where the original top-down Zelda style is kept alive, presented … Continue reading The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap

Portal 2

January 17, 2023January 20, 2023 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

How on earth are you supposed to follow up a game like Portal? I can only imagine that question had to be at the forefront of the minds of the developers over at Valve as they worked away at this game; it certainly was on the mind of everyone who watched with bemusement and curiosity … Continue reading Portal 2

X-Men: Mutant Academy 2

January 10, 2023 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

The whole reason of my playing X-Men: Mutant Academy was to get to this game. This game was absolutely my childhood; countless hours were spent with this game as a youngster, mastering each and every character and combo. While I’ve never claimed to be a great fighting game enthusiast, there’s a few games that I … Continue reading X-Men: Mutant Academy 2

Final Fantasy VI

January 3, 2023 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

When I began this big project to play through as much of the mainline Final Fantasy series as possible, there were certain games I had in mind as what I suppose were my “targets” - the games I’d played before but never beaten. Chief among them were the SNES trio of IV, V, and VI; … Continue reading Final Fantasy VI

Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Reverie

December 28, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

Part of the point of working through a series like this is so I can, very self-indulgently, get to games I have already played before; I basically just made this blog to waffle about games that I love and needed some other stuff to fill it out! Dragon Quest VI, then, is the last one … Continue reading Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Reverie

X-Men: Mutant Academy

December 20, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

I’ve played some exceptional fighting games over the years. This is especially true of those formative years growing up, where it feels like my taste was at its broadest. As a child of the PS1, franchises that would go on to be titans of the genre were still in their own stumbling infancies; games like … Continue reading X-Men: Mutant Academy

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes

December 13, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

So there’s this little film series that exists right? You might have heard of it once or twice at some point: the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Did you know that once upon a time it was even a franchise of comic books as well? And for some reason the fine folk over at Traveller’s Tales decided … Continue reading LEGO Marvel Super Heroes

Metroid 2: Return of Samus

December 6, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

Here’s a fun fact about Metroid II: this is one of the earliest games I can ever remember playing! I think I first played this before ever owning a game, although given it was a very long time ago now I can’t be certain of that. What I am certain of is the memory of … Continue reading Metroid 2: Return of Samus

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link

November 29, 2022December 11, 2022 ~ thealmightybacklog ~ Leave a comment

I was in two minds as to whether I would even try Zelda II. I’ve been playing back through the Zelda franchise because it’s one I know I like, with plenty of games I think are wonderful and a set of games I had (and still have) yet to play. The thought of getting to … Continue reading Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
