Imagine knowing someone who has a reputation for being really, really good at one specific thing. Juggling. Limericks. Kayaking. Anything at all, but whatever it is, and whatever their faults in other fields, this is the one thing that they are an absolute master of. Someone who may not be especially talented – or even … Continue reading Telltale-Roading

I know I do this every time I start a review, but let me explain why this game is a completely unique little snowflake I chose to discuss. See, games I’ve written about previously – Resident Evil 5, Sly 2, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, they all had something in common. I played them … Continue reading Dopefish Reviews Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire

Given that I still have a plethora of impressive DS titles to play, even I’m not sure why I recently started going through a bunch of puzzle games. Instead of treating myself to ‘Last Window’, the sequel to the incredibly impressive ‘Hotel Dusk’, I’ve been tapping blocks on ‘Picross DS’ in the hope that what’s … Continue reading Dopefish Reviews DS Puzzle Games

Metroid is a game (and a series) that I’ve always had a rocky relationship with. I respect it in the same way I’d respect a well-written book in a genre I didn’t enjoy reading, or a great TV show that I didn’t personally like enough to watch. Maybe I just haven’t gotten into Metroid games … Continue reading Dopefish Reviews Metroid

Like a lot of gamers, I have seen many controversies in the world of video games in years gone by. I’ve seen ‘Manhunt’ linked to murders, ‘Call of Duty’ discussed in the Houses of Parliament due to the ‘No Russian’ mission in ‘Modern Warfare 2’, I’ve seen ‘Mass Effect’ accused of containing sex scenes that … Continue reading Hatred Begets Hatred

There’s a short and simplistic platforming game I’ve been aware of on the internet ever since an online friend brought it to my attention a few years ago. It’s named ‘Don’t Look Back’, and despite a soundtrack that’s barely 4 minutes long, graphics that would look at home on the Atari 2600, gameplay that only … Continue reading Dopefish Reviews Don’t Look Back

Ah, I know what you’re thinking. Actually, that’s not true, but I know what you would be thinking if you were a semi-regular reader of my stuff and if you were thinking exactly what I hoped you’d be thinking going into this blog. You’d be thinking the following. “Dopefish, you foolishly lying codswallop! Every chance … Continue reading Dopefish Reviews Resident Evil 5

I don’t really do blogs with ‘dedications’ very much, but this is my first detailed record of a Wii game I completed, so I might as well thank the person responsible for letting me play Wii games. I moved out recently – family moved away and I wanted to stay near my job – and … Continue reading Dopefish Reviews Super Mario Galaxy
