Retro News February 1992

Welcome to something new, for 2022. Being just one person (with a full-time job and family!), I am never going to be able to post up to date news here at PugHoofGaming. So, with that in mind, I’m going to be posting old news. Every month you can expect a look at the gaming news

The Best Metroid Game of All Time – The Road To Metroid Dread, Ep. 17

Well, now that I’ve finally played, finished and reviewed the entire Metroid saga from start to finish, I’m pretty exhausted. I mean after spending six months playing these games and capturing a grand total of 2 days, 1 hour, 27 minutes and 53 seconds of footage for this series; I’m pretty sure you would be

Metroid: Samus Returns 3DS Review – The Road To Metroid Dread, Ep. 15

2021203 - Metroid Samus Returns Review Nintendo 3DS

Is it me, or does it really feel like the last few episodes have been a bit of a downer? Don’t blame me of course, for the Metroid series took quite a bit of a downturn for a while. Once the Prime series had completed and Retro Studios moved on to other things, it felt

Metroid Federation Force Review Nintendo 3DS

Before you enjoy this latest instalment of The Road To Metroid Dread, please allow me to apologise for the less than stellar capture quality of Metroid Prime: Federation Force. I do not have access to an expensive and hard to source 3DS capture card, and emulators do not run Federation Force particularly well. Capture for

Metroid Prime Hunters Nintendo DS Review – The Road To Dread, Ep. 10

Metroid Prime Hunters Review Nintendo DS

Following the initial console launch bundle of the Nintendo DS and the demo of Metroid Prime Hunters in 2004, players would not see the full game until 2006. Much like First Hunt, this first-person shooter takes inspiration from the two Gamecube Metroid titles, with a few changes to better suit the small, dual-screened handheld system.

Metroid Prime Pinball Review Nintendo DS

There comes a time in every popular gaming franchise’s life, where it must spread its wings and fly. To make bold new endeavours in an attempt to give fans more, keep its name out there, and hopefully attract new fans – Yes, even games sell out. For every Super Mario World, there’s a Mario is

So, cards on the table – I did a fair amount of thought on whether I should have done this video. You see Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt is not exactly a game in the fully-formed sense. However, after thinking it over, I do believe it should be covered in this series, even if this

Metroid Zero Mission Review – The Road To Metroid Dread, Ep. 06

Metroid Zero Mission Review Featured Image

We’re around the halfway point on my Road To Metroid Dread, but we’re already turning around and already going way back to the very beginning of our journey, to revisit the very first Metroid game, recreated from the ground up in the form of Zero Mission. If you recall my review of Metroid, you’ll know

Metroid Fusion GBA Review – The Road To Metroid Dread, Ep. 04

After the release of Super Metroid in 1994, fans of the series couldn’t really be any happier. If only they knew the years of pain they’d be suffering soon after, as while Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda made their own critically-acclaimed jumps to the 3D space via the brand new Nintendo 64 console;
