Awesome Videogamedunkey

Donkey Kong Begins

Donkey Kong Begins

(PG-13: Language) Nintendo didn’t start making arcade games. The Japanese video game juggernaut made playing cards, toys, and board games for years before getting into arcade and console gaming. Videogamedunkey offers up a brief history of Nintendo’s early days and the origins of the game that would change everything.

Dunkey on Sonic Frontiers

Dunkey on Sonic Frontiers

(PG-13: Language) Sonic Frontiers was one of the most hotly-anticipated video games of 2022. But does the high-speed, open-world 3D platformer live up to the hype? Videogamedunkey offers his honest take on the game, its level design and control quirks, visual glitches, and occasional moments of actual fun.

Dunkey Reviews Stray

Dunkey Reviews Stray

There’s been a lot of hype and interest in the game Stray, mostly because you get to play the entire game as a cat. The game looks and sounds great too, but it’s far from perfect. Videogamedunkey provides his typical blend of humor and honesty about the game’s presentation, controls, story, and depth.

Dunkey on Video Game Acting

Dunkey on Video Game Acting

Big budget game titles hire A-list actors to voice characters these days, but Videogamedunkey reminds us that it takes much more than acting talent to pull off a convincing performance in video games. Scriptwriters, animators, game directors, translators, and actors must all do their best work or it all falls apart.

Dunkey: Video Game Pricing

Dunkey: Video Game Pricing

(PG-13: Language) Game consoles and video games have always been expensive – especially when you adjust for inflation. VideoGameDunkey looks back at the history of game pricing, how we got to the $60 price tag for AAA titles, how “free to play” games are anything but, and the wonders of Xbox Game Pass.

Dunkey: PlayTime

Dunkey: PlayTime

“If you show this movie to 1,000 different people, everyone is going to be zoned into a different corner of the action.” videogamedunkey is filmessayistdunkey in this great review of Jacque Tati’s 1967 experimental comedy PlayTime, a nearly wordless film that deserves multiple viewings by every movie buff.

More Dunkey More Problems

More Dunkey More Problems

Videogamedunkey presents the debut single off of his fictitious album “Yo Peter, pass me the meatballs.” The prolific video game reviewer offers up a rap about his mad YouTube and gaming skillz set to the tune of The Notorious B.I.G.’s Mo Money Mo Problems, which itself is set to the tune of Diana Ross’ I’m Coming Out.

Dunkey on Half-Life : Alyx

Dunkey on Half-Life : Alyx

(PG-13: Language) If you happen to have a fancy VR rig for your PC, you can tune out the rest of the world with Valve’s latest stress-inducing Half-Life game. But if you’re videogamedunkey, you don’t just play the game, you live the game. And yes, you can wear a headcrab as a hat now.

Dunkey on Dreams

Dunkey on Dreams

(PG-13: Language) The Sony PS4 game Dreams lets players create their own games from scratch. But the latest from the creator of LittleBigPlanet might not have enough guard rails to keep people from designing complete garbage. At least that’s what Dunkey shows us in his demo of some user-submitted content.

The Evolution of Videogame Structure

The Evolution of Videogame Structure

(PG-13: Language) From primitive games like Pong to today’s biggest shooters and RPGs, there’s a point at which game designers decide how their worlds will be structured. Videogamedunkey explores how gameplay dynamics and rules are born, and are ultimately refined.

Dunkey’s Best of 2019

Dunkey’s Best of 2019

(PG-13: Language) With so many A-list titles delayed into 2020, this past year wasn’t the most memorable for video games. Videogamedunkey looks back at the year that was, and a handful of game titles that actually stood out from the relatively mediocre crowd.

Dunkey: E3 2019

Dunkey: E3 2019

(PG-13: Language) Video game enthusiast and critic Dunkey offers up his take on the announcements that came out of E3 2019.

Dunkey Reviews Super Mario 64

Dunkey Reviews Super Mario 64

(PG-13: Language) If you’ve never played Super Mario 64, you need to go get your hands on an N64 (or a good emulator) and play it. Videogamedunkey reminisces in this review of Nintendo’s truly groundbreaking 3D platformer, its analog control scheme, and amazing level design.

Dunkey Plays Sekiro

Dunkey Plays Sekiro

(SPOILERS, PG-13: Language) Videogamedunkey takes on the latest game from the creators of the Souls series. Even the roosters in Sekiro Shadows Die Twice can kill you, but at the same time its stealth mechanic has a hilarious loophole. It still kicks ass though.

Dunkey: Best Games of 2018

Dunkey: Best Games of 2018

(PG-13: Language) It’s time for videogamedunkey’s annual list of his favorite games. From AAA blockbusters to overlooked indie titles, you’ll find something you’ll like on the list. Unless you’re a PC gamer, because Return of the Obra Dinn is not there.

Difficulty in Video Games Pt. 2

Difficulty in Video Games Pt. 2

(PG-13: Language) Back in 2016 game critic videogamedunkey talked about the pros and cons of fixed versus adjustable difficulty in video games. He revisits difficulty in this video, musing about how it should be paced or adjusted.

Dunkey Plays Soul Calibur VI

Dunkey Plays Soul Calibur VI

Soul Calibur VI has a robust character creation system. Videogamedunkey put that to good use, showcasing silly-looking characters from other series that turned the game into a poor man’s Smash Brothers. The Kirby and Magikarp got us.

Dunkey Halloween Special

Dunkey Halloween Special

(PG-13: Language) Videogamedunkey’s game for Halloween isn’t some bug-ridden nonsense or some crap filled with microtransactions. Nope. It’s an actual horror game called Visage. It’s clearly an homage to Magna Carta for the PS2.

Dunkey: Black Ops 4

Dunkey: Black Ops 4

(PG-13: Language) Videogamedunkey seems to be having a lot of fun with Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. What with the taser Roombas, the dogs, the sniping, the dual machine gunning, and the shielding. But not the assault rifling. Black Ops!

This Is a Chicken Wing

This Is a Chicken Wing

Videogamedunkey takes a moment away from his usual snarky video game reviews to give us a little rap tune about a bunch of random stuff that proves you can rap about just anything, and with a good beat and smooth flow, it’ll work. Also we are now really hungry for wings.

Stick Fight: The Game

Stick Fight: The Game

(PG-13: Language) Videogamedunkey points us to Stick Fight: The Game, a physics-based multiplayer brawler for Windows and Mac. Barely control stick figures as you and up to 3 other friends fight through 80 silly levels.

Dunkey: Bubsy 3D

Dunkey: Bubsy 3D

Videogamedunkey dusts off a not-so-classic from the early 32-bit gaming era. Bubsy 3D… or is it “Bubby?” was a horrible attempt to create a PlayStation 3D platformer, with none of the charm, gameplay, or entertainment value of the games it attempted to live up to.

Dunk Souls Remastered

Dunk Souls Remastered

(PG-13: Language) Videogamedunkey tests his memory skills on Dark Souls Remastered. Watch him remember all the fun he didn’t have while challenging the game’s monsters and navigating its perfectly balanced stages.
