Retro Game Of The Day: The Getaway I've been away a hot second cause my wife has been on vacation (still is for a little while) but here is a nice little call back to a GTA-Like that takes place in London and was actually good unlike a lot of other clones. #Retro

Retro Game Of The Day Turok: Evolution In spirit of a new Turok being announced, this wasn't the first Turok by far but it was my first foray into the series and what a time it was, bow hunting a T-Rex and mini-gunning raptors, there's nothing quite like dino horror/action. #Retro

Retro Game Of The Day: Cel Damage Whether you played it on the original Xbox, or the Gamecube/PS2 or even the HD re-release on a more modern platform, one thing was for certain if you wanted a whacky vehicular combat game that wasn't Twisted Metal or Mario related, this was it. #Retro

Retro Game Of The Day: Blood Will Tell (Dororo) Sorry for delay in posting, wife is on vacation so spending most of it with her, this is Dororo a hidden gem where a man hunts down fiends to get back his missing limbs he lost before birth thanks to a pact his father made. #Retro

That game awards... Oh my days... Almost every game announced blew my mind!! A new ONIMUSHA?!? A new OKAMI!?! Not even to mention a new Witcher, Elden Ring Co-op Spin Off, a game by the guys who made ICO and Shadow of the Colossus! That's not even the half of it, holy crap 2025 is stacked!

Retro Game Of The Day: Okami What an absolutely beautiful game, even the original is still fantastic, the HD remasters really make it shine, emulation upscaling can also really do wonders. This game isn't challenging per say but is an absolute experience. #Retro

Who knew dress up could be this much fun?

Retro Game Of The Day: Final Fantasy Tactics Fun thing to note, the last time I played this game was waiting for my sister in-law in a mall parking garage, our car was swarmed with police and drug dogs cause a lady called in on us cause she wanted our spot and we wouldn't move. #Retro #FFTactics

Retro Game Of The Day: Splinter Cell Series It's always been a toss up to me who was the stealth king between Sam Fisher and Snake, this series is so deeply ingrained in me that even today I still whistle in the exact rotation Sam Fisher does in game. I miss this series dearly (not Blacklist.)

Retro Game Of The Day: Rugrats - Search For Reptar This game is an absolute fever dream and a hodgepodge of mini-games and concept ideas, but what's more than that is it felt at times like the first true survival horror game for kids. Definitely worth a peek if you can find a copy or rom.

PS1: Tekken 3 PS2: Metal Gear Solid 3 PSP: Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker PS3: Uncharted 3 PS Vita: Soul Sacrifice Delta PS4: Bloodborne PS5: Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth #PlayStation30thAnniversary

Retro Game Of The Day: T'ai Fu: Wrath of the Tiger Before there was Kung-Fu Panda, there was T'ai Fu, a precursor to Tigress; Dreamworks and Activision worked on a kung-fu anthropomorphic brawler that saw you taking on animal kung-fu masters Crane/Monkey/Leopard. #Retro #Dreamworks #KungFuPanda

Retro Game Of The Day: Shinobi & Nightshade A series often forgotten when amidst competitors like Ninja Gaiden and Tenchu, this however isn't a series to sleep on! Tough as nails and it'll remind you of that every chance it gets, the game has aged considerably well for a hack n' slasher. #Retro

Retro Game Of The Day: Phantasy Star Online A game still loved and played today on both emulated and genuine hardware, with actual cross-play! Players created their own characters and ran endless dungeons with a loose story and heavy emphasis on satisfying loot grind! #Retro #Dreamcast #PSO

I saw these floating around, figured i'd give it a try. 😂 "A PS2 in a Nintendo Switch World" Also i'm married so I have no use for the dating app section, but if you see someone dressing up to a convention as a ninja turtle as a red flag, I don't want your green flags!

Retro Game Of The Day: Indiana Jones And The Staff Of Kings With Indy's latest journey just around the corner, what better time to remind everyone some of his classics. I prefer the PS2 and PSP versions for the exclusive story missions, but the Wii did have an exclusive co-op story! #Retro

POV: You're about to experience one of the finest Rpgs ever made. Take care out there wanderer.

Retro Game Of The Day: Castlevania & Dead Cells Happy Turkey Day to everyone and good luck for those of us that have to brave family we don't want to deal with. I couldn't be arsed to get photos of Turkey in Dead Cells, but rest assured it is there, have a safe day everyone! #Retro #Turkey

Retro Game Of The Day Scooby-Doo! Classic Creep Crusaders There are many Scooby games (a lot better ones too) but this one stood out to me because of the Resident Evil tank controls and camera angles. It's a cute charming title and deserves at least a once over. #Retro #Scooby-Doo

Retro Game Of The Day: Mercenaries Series Cool guys don't look at explosions, except when we do... Talk about a missed series that would be amazing to see a third part on newer hardware, this put the power in power fantasy when you drop an air strike on your enemies heads. #Retro #PS2

From the same pack!? I'll take that for a solid pull today!

Post a gaming picture that gives you video game anxiety.

Retro Game Of The Day: Orphen Scion Of Sorcery Love it or hate it! (And many do, despite the cult following!) Orphen SOS had a lot of ideas, they just weren't particularly well executed, but if you enjoy the characters it does have a manga and an anime series! #Retro #JRPG
