If you grew up in the 80's and 90's, there's a good chance you've either played or heard of GoldenEye 007 for the Nintendo 64. Personally, I missed out. I never had an N64 and I never really played GoldenEye growing up. Now that it's available on Xbox Gamepass and Nintendo Online, it was finally time to sit down and figure out why so many people love this game so much. And I have to say... I think I get it.
So is GoldenEye still a fun game to play today? Does it hold up? And why does everyone hate OddJob so much? I figure out and answer these questions and more as we take our wildlands expedition deep into the world of James Bond.

In honor of the release of GoldenEye 007 on Xbox Gamepass and Nintendo Online, I wanted to rank my favorite weapons and gadgets! Join me by the campfire as I talk about my Top 10 must have pieces of spy equipment and weaponry. While James Bond can get himself out of most situations using his charisma alone, nothing beats having the right tool for the job. Especially when it comes with a silencer.

There's no shortage of Simpsons games out there and there's a good deal of them that aren't all that great. But there's a couple of them that stand tall amongst the rest. A few that stood the test of time. Is Road Rage one of those games? Join me this week as I ponder that question by the campfire, friends. And I won't be pondering alone!
My step-daughter makes her return to the Retro Wildlands. After I peel back all the layers when it comes to what Road Rage has to offer, her and I are going to sit down together and talk about our experiences playing this game. There will be a few laughs, a couple of Simpsons quotes and... a song?

When I played the original Castlevania for the NES, I was blown away. How could this game possibly be any better? Enter Castlevania 3. It improved on its predecessor in just about every way. Branching pathways? Check. Companion system? Check. Multiple endings? Checkmate.
Join me by the campfire today my friends as I share with you my thoughts and experiences with this gem of a retro game and tell you why this is the best Castlevania on the NES. Just watch your step on those stairs...

Batman for the NES is probably one of the best platforming games on the whole console and one of the best Batman games, period. The music slaps, the gameplay is solid and the challenge is tough (in a good way!)
Come join me by the campfire this week as I share my story and experience with this game. It's another example of how a simple, yet solid premise and gameplay experience can still hold up today and give some modern games a run for their money! Suit up!

Isn't it always the pretty ones that hurt us so? When you think of the Lion King video game, you might be thinking of a kids game. Something happy go-lucky, something relaxing. Well if this is you, you're dead wrong. The Lion King is a tough, but beautiful platformer that has a horrifically dark secret...
Join me by the campfire as I share with you my thoughts and experiences with this game. And I have a lot to say about this one!

It's bad enough to be trapped in Raccoon City when it's been overrun by horrific creatures and the undead. It's another thing to have one of those creatures relentlessly hunting YOU...
Join us by the campfire today as I regale you with my story and experiences with Resident Evil 3, the last RE game on the original Playstation and the title that started to nudge the series towards a bit more action over survival horror. Can we escape the city before being swallowed whole by it?

The dusty badlands of the Wild West are crawling with more then just snakes, scorpions and prairie dogs. There's lowdown cheatin' vermin like the bandito Poco Loco, the bankrupt banker Simon Greedwell and the dapper English Diablo Sir Richard Rose.
Each of these low lives have a hefty price on their heads. It'll take a brave bounty hunter to ride out and bring peace to the valley. Are you that bounty hunter? Join me by the campfire today as I share with you my thoughts and experiences with Sunset Riders, the rootin' tootin' side scrolling shooter from the arcades, Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis!
