Ghost Recon Wildlands: Part 02 - There's No News Like Nothing New | Attack the Backlog

April 21, 2024 23:00

My journey taking on drug cartels as part of an elite special forces group in the beautiful country of Bolivia continues with part two of Attack the Backlog, Ghost Recon Wildlands edition. While I wasn't able to play as much as I would have liked since the last episode, I still got in some additional time with the game and, so far, it's all been business as usual, for better or worse. The real question now is, will next week be the last week, or will I see the light and be in for the long h...

Ghost Recon Wildlands: Part 01 - YOLO, So Best Not Play SOLO | Attack the Backlog

April 14, 2024 22:00

This episode sees the return of Attack the Backlog, now in its new (and improved?) form. What was once more of a review(ish) show is now more of a Game Club(ish) show, moving from biweekly to weekly, where you can choose to play along with me, or just go along for the ride next to me, figuratively speaking, of course. But don't get too down because the old Attack the Backlog format will still exist once my time with a game is done--whether I finish it or decide I'm finished with it--as a ca...

Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion - A Decent Diversion and Nothing More | Attack the Backlog

February 12, 2024 00:00

This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, a Zelda-like ala A Link to the Past, where you play as little Turnip Boy, not to be confused with Little Lion Man, who’s not as brave as he was at the start. After getting evicted by Mayor Onion for not paying your taxes, you must complete a handful of trash tasks for the layered mayor in order to get back your home, wouldn’t you know. These tasks include acquiring a fork, a laser pointer, and some green goop th...

Virginia - No. No, no, no, no, no. No. | Attack the Backlog

January 29, 2024 00:00

This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Virginia, a game that really wants to be a movie instead of a game and suffers for it, becoming one of the worst "games" I've ever "played," featuring a lot of walking and a whole lot of, "pressing 'A' to pay respects." The score may be great and it doesn't look too bad either, but when the act of "playing" it is so underwhelming, nothing can save it from becoming the latest game I hate, surprising no one, least of all my mates.

Armed and Dangerous - Only a Few Laughs and Little More Than That | Attack the Backlog

January 15, 2024 00:00

This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Armed and Dangerous, a game that’s been sitting on my hard drive for years now, mocking me every time I look at my Xbox library with its top placement upon my alphabetically-ordered collection of download games, saying nothing short of, “Looks like someone’s still too scared to get a little dangerous.” Well, Armed and Dangerous…I’ll show you who’s dangerous. Anyway, this: is Armed and Dangerous.

My Gaming New Year's Resolution(s) for 2024 | Attack the Backlog

December 31, 2023 18:00

This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about...nothing in particular. That's right, this is not your traditional episode. Instead of talking about a single game like Marc usually does, they decide to get a little personal and apologize for a 2023 of so-so content--which they're sure you'll say they don't need to apologize for--before talking about what they hope for and plan to do in the year that is 2024, including a short list of games they'd love to play, as well as potential new show...

Goat Simulator - It's Kinda Baaaaaaaaaad | Attack the Backlog

December 17, 2023 18:00

This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Goat Simulator,  a game where you simulate being a goat by licking everything you can see, headbutting everyone until they pee, and wrecking general chaos with a face full of glee, even though you’d much rather be playing General Chaos for Genesis...or maybe that’s just me.

Heaven Dust - All It Is Is Dust in the Wind | Attack the Backlog

December 03, 2023 18:00

This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Heaven Dust, a game that takes inspiration to a whole new level, copying Resident Evil to a T…virus, from the key art to the gameplay to the structure to the story to the window…to the wall, ‘til blood drip down them walls, all these zombies crawl, y’all shoot shoot shoot shoot them in the head, y’all shoot shoot shoot shoot they dead. Or something like that...

The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan - More Like The Man of Mundanity... | Attack the Backlog

November 19, 2023 18:00

This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan, a game where you play as a bunch of rich kids trying to find buried treasure because, despite being rich, they’re not rich enough to pay for all the plastic surgery it would take to make Julie go from hideous monster to the madame of meDAMN girl, you fine. But then some dumb pirates, a boring ghost ship, and a thirsty grandma ghost show up to ruin all the fun. Not comedy, nor horror, ensues, or pursues.

Paratopic - I Don't Know What I Played, But My God, I Think I Liked It | Attack the Backlog

November 05, 2023 18:00

This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Paratopic, a game I can't quite explain, where jump cuts are plentiful as you play; a game you could finish in just one day, in just one sitting, in fact, I say; a game I recommend despite my haze, for fans of David Lynch, Twin Peaks, and his crazy ways; a game I played, that you can play, so I say, not tomorrow, but today; if I were to give it a grade, I'd quote the Fonz, and give it an aaaaay.

Terminator: Resistance - A Good Terminator Game...Who'd Have Thunk It? | Attack the Backlog

October 22, 2023 17:00

This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Terminator: Resistance--aka, Terminator: Resources--the game where you pick up everything you can see because, "Oooo, look, so shiny," and are marked for termination because you never learned that sharing is caring. You also shoot the occasional robot and have awkward sex, but the majority of the game is collecting all the shit you can find so you can craft goods and earn currency for buying goods–goods like ammo, health packs, and explosives–...

The Walking Zombie 2 - Sometimes Good Enough Is... Good Enough | Attack the Backlog

October 08, 2023 17:00

This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about The Walking Zombie 2, a first-person shooter where you go on short missions to kill all the zombies, or missions to collect goods and kill all the zombies, or missions to find buried treasure and kill all the zombies, or missions to defend your home base and kill all zombies, or even missions to rescue kidnapped survivors and kill all the zombies (or sometimes all the bandits), and so on and so forth. It may sound repetitive (because it is), b...

Hyper Gunsport - When Xbox Surprises Go Wrong | Attack the Backlog

September 24, 2023 17:00

This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Hyper Gunsport, a cyberpunk volleyball game where hands are replaced with guns (not literally) and enjoyment is replaced with the opposite of fun (yes literally). Despite some nice visuals and an alright idea, Hyper Gunsport doesn't live up to its potential thanks to poor controls and a general lack of excitement that left me feeling zero desire to keep playing after completing one run on the circuit. I'm not saying it's a terrible game, but i...

Bowser's Fury - I'm Not Furyous, I'm Just Disappointed | Attack the Backlog

September 10, 2023 17:00

This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Bowser's Fury, the additional content included with the Switch port of Super Mario 3D World, where Mario gets his very own harem of pussy(cats) while also getting his Powers Rangers in super-sized battles against kaiju Bowser in extra large Cat Mario form, all of it set in a moderately-sized open world as opposed to being level-based like your more traditional Mario game. I should have realized this sooner, but with Bowser's Fury, I finally re...

Bowser's Fury - The One With a Harem of Pussy(cats) | Attack the Backlog

September 10, 2023 17:00

This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Bowser's Fury, the additional content included with the Switch port of Super Mario 3D World, where Mario gets his very own harem of pussy(cats) while also getting his Powers Rangers in super-sized battles against kaiju Bowser in extra large Cat Mario form, all of it set in a moderately-sized open world as opposed to being level-based like your more traditional Mario game. I should have realized this sooner, but with Bowser's Fury, I finally re...

Police Chase - It's...It's...It's Not Good. (Imagine That!) | Attack the Backlog

August 27, 2023 17:00

This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Police Chase, a game where you play as the police and chase NO ONE until the last few missions, where you’re stuck chasing super cars in your stupid and slow police van because no one told you you could walk out of your car and into a different, shiny, fast one, except maybe they did and you just weren’t paying attention due to being distracted by all the terrible voice acting, including a waitress who loves singing country music and saying, “...

The Crew 2 - If I'm Playing It Wrong, I Don't Wanna Play Right | Attack the Backlog

August 13, 2023 17:00

This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about The Crew 2, a game where you can drive, fly, or boat yourself through an incredibly truncated and disproportionate version of the United States, all in the pursuit of completing numerous events that fill the map with more icons than anyone could ever hope to complete because when you say icon, I say, “Icon’t.” And to that point, I love The Crew 2, but not for the reason you might and probably expect, so if you want to know what makes The Crew ...

Vampire Survivors - More of a Game of the Day or Two Than a Game of the Year | Attack the Backlog

July 30, 2023 17:00

This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Vampire Survivors, a game that sucks away most of the controls so you can watch numbers explode…eventually…because, oh my, does Survivors start slow. Vampire Survivors is a game that asks very little of you input-wise, but demands all of your attention–a bit of a weird dichotomy–but if you take the time to learn its intricacies and, for the love of god, only play on Hyper Mode (once you unlock it), I think you’ll have a good enough time and, s...

The Simpsons: Hit & Run - Too Much D'oh! in the Donuts | Attack the Backlog

July 16, 2023 17:00

This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about The Simpsons: Hit & Run--the game many called, "Grand Theft Simpsons," but is really just, "The Simpsons: Road Rage 2: Now You Can Get Out of the Car, Too," not to rhyme 2 with too, but I did, like I do, so poo of me, and sorry to you. Does that sound like a good time? Do you think I had a good time? All those answers and more can be found with a quick watch or a quick listen, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride that is...Attack the Backlog.

G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout - No Joe! No | Attack the Backlog

July 02, 2023 17:00

This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout, "a team-based third-person shooter where you play as your favorite characters from Team G.I. Joe and Team Cobra. Experience the action from both sides as you help G.I. Joe restore order and lead Cobra to world domination." Does that sound like a good time? Do you think I had a good time? All those answers and more can be found with a quick watch or a quick listen, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride that is...A...

Transformers: War for Cybertron - Can I Get Some Fricken' Ammo Over Here?! | Attack the Backlog

June 18, 2023 17:00

This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Transformers: War for Cybertron, a third-person shooter set in the Transformers universe before they made their way to earth, meaning there's sadly no Shias or Marky Marks in sight. Also not in sight is ammo thanks to a baffling ammo system that's guaranteed to annoy everyone who dares play this game. If that's not enough, also missing is color, something that would have gone a long way in making War for Cybertron at least pleasant to look at-...

Big Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions - Junk Food at Gourmet Prices | Attack the Backlog

June 04, 2023 17:00

Most of you will be shocked to hear that Big Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions isn't that bad. I sure was when I played the game; however, that initial positive shock was followed by a much greater negative shock: the price tag. As surprisingly not terrible as Big Rumble Boxing is, it's got a significant lack of content problem. Based on what's there (and what's not there), one would assume Big Rumble Boxing was a $10-15 game and not the $40 game it actually is, so unless it's on sale, there's...

CrossfireX - I Am Dead and So Is This Game, Signed, Sealed, Delivered, The End | Attack the Backlog

May 21, 2023 17:00

I could try and find something to say here--something, anything of value--but I've got nothing, which is quite suiting since CrossfireX also has nothing--no fun, no content, and, oh yeah, no more existence either. This is not a traditional episode of Attack the Backlog and CrossfireX is not your traditional Attack the Backlog game/experience; however, it is what it is and that's about as much as I can say about CrossfireX, or, more accurately, this is what it was (because, again, it no long...

I Am Dead and So Is This Game: A CrossfireX (Who Gives a Ship) Review | Attack the Backlog

May 21, 2023 17:00

I could try and find something to say here--something, anything of value--but I've got nothing, which is quite suiting since CrossfireX also has nothing--no fun, no content, and, oh yeah, no more existence either. This is not a traditional episode of Attack the Backlog and CrossfireX is not your traditional Attack the Backlog game/experience; however, it is what it is and that's about as much as I can say about CrossfireX, or, more accurately, this is what it was (because, again, it no long...

Picross S - Nonogram? More Like Yesyesgram! | Attack the Backlog

May 07, 2023 18:00

This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Picross S, a picture crossword puzzle game that's strength is in its simplicity, providing enough challenge to engage the brain while never becoming too challenging to frustrate. It is thanks to this that it is one of the most relaxing and enjoyable puzzle games I've played in years; I only wish I didn't wait so long to finally get to the series, but you know what they say, better late than never, eh.

Nonogram? More Like Yesyesgram: A Picross S Review | Attack the Backlog

It is thanks to this that it is one of the most relaxing and enjoyable puzzle games I've played in years; I only wish I didn't wait so long to finally get to the series, but you know what they say, better late than never, eh.

The Smurfs - Mission Vileaf - A Smurfingly Smurf Urf of Smurfy Smurfsmortions! | Attack the Smurflog

April 23, 2023 17:00

This smurf of Attack the Smurflog is all about The Smurfs - Mission Vileaf, a 3D platformer with vibrant, colorful smurf, pacing that keeps things feeling smurfy throughout, and a smurf that feels good, which, let’s be honest, is the most important smurf of all. But don't just take my smurf for it, give this smurf a smurf or smurf and I'm sure you'll smurf exactly what I'm smurfing about...

A Surprisingly Smurfy Smurf: A Smurfs - Mission Vileaf Smurfview | Attack the Smurflog

I Don't Know What to Say: A NERF Legends (Kind of) Review | Attack the Backlog

April 09, 2023 18:00

I wish I suffered from memory loss so I could forget ever playing NERF Legends; however, I'm at a loss for words instead. I honestly don't know what to say. NERF Legends is bad. It's not kind of bad, or, "so bad it's good," bad, it's just bad-bad. Without a single redeeming quality, NERF Legends is indeed a thing of legends as it will forever be one of the worst games I've ever played for Attack the Backlog. Don't believe me? Well, I won't stop you from playing the game yourself, just don't...

Short, but Sweet, When Not Racing on the Street: A Wave Race 64 Review | Attack the Backlog

March 26, 2023 18:00

I honestly can't think of anything to say and it's driving me a bit insane, so I'm just going shut up and let this here episode do all the talking as I turn around to escape my brain with a bit of fast walking; however, let me say one thing before I go: Wave Race 64 is a good time and a Nintendo 64 game that holds up as not just okay, but surprisingly great. And with that, I’ve nothing left to say, so bid you adieu I shall do with the opposite of “Hey” and the movement of my hand that some ...

Looks Like I'm the One Being Punished Here: A Punisher (2005) Review | Attack the Backlog

March 12, 2023 18:00

I was beyond excited to return to The Punisher well over a decade since I played it last, but sometimes excitement is met with crushing disappointment and crushed I was this time. What I remembered being a fun and over-the-top action game fitting of the Punisher's name turned out to be a simple and boring exercise of repetition and poorly balanced difficulty spikes. Not even Thomas Jane himself could muster a hint of excitement to return as the title character, delivering one of the most un...

When New Is Old and Old Is New: An Animal Crossing: New Horizons Review | Attack the Backlog

February 26, 2023 19:00

It's a sad day when you return to a series you once loved only to find out that love is no more. That was the case for me and Animal Crossing: New Horizons. You may be wondering, "Is it my fault or the game's fault?" The answer isn't that simple; the answer is both and neither. Ultimately, some things change and some things don't and this just happened to be a case where those that changed no longer aligned with those that didn't. But don't just take my word for it, take my video (and audio...

When Gettin' Slimed Is a Good Time: A Slime Rancher Review | Attack the Backlog

February 12, 2023 19:00

You know a game is special when you can take a break for years and return as if no time had passed at all. That was my experience with Slime Rancher, a game about sucking up slimes and spitting them into little prisons so you can force feed them until they shit their figurative pants, all so you can take that shit and sell it on the poo, I mean, plort market. There is, of course, more to it than just that--a bit of farming, a bit of exploring, a bit of breeding, and a bit of "choring"--but ...

One of the Best Games of the Decade?!: A Clone Drone in the Danger Zone Review | Attack the Backlog

January 29, 2023 20:00

It's times like this that make Attack the Backlog worth it. For all the games that disappoint, there are games that surprise, and no game in recent memory surprised me quite as much as Clone Drone in the Danger Zone. Not only did I have a blast playing the game, but Clone Drone took me on a weird and wild journey I won't soon forget, delivering a story that kept me wanting to play more and more until credits rolled (which is exactly what I did). I can't promise you'll come away feeling as h...

Best in Multiple Pieces, Not One: A One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 Review | Attack the Backlog

January 15, 2023 20:00

Another every other weekend and another episode of Attack the Backlog is here for your listening and/or watching (dis)pleasure. This week's episode is for none other than One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4, the latest game in the One Piece musou series--aka, another one of those Dynasty Warriors games. That may already be enough to turn you off, but don't turn that dial just yet, you may be surprised by this one (piece) even if you're not traditionally a fan of One Piece (in general) or musou gam...

Breath of the Mild: A Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles Review | Attack the Backlog

January 01, 2023 18:00

Hello everyone. This here episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles, a game at least somewhat inspired by Breath of the Wild, where you’re thrown into an unknown world after shipwrecking on an island filled with copy and paste humans and seven different colors of foxes. You get your own farm, collect a plethora of resources, and wonder why you’re doing any of the things you’re doing the whole time you’re playing. But don't just take my word for it, take...

There Has Never Been a More Accurate Title: A Need for Speed Payback Review | Attack the Backlog

December 18, 2022 18:00

Hello everyone. This here episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Need for Speed Payback, a racing game released in 2017 that feels like it was made in 1917, not directed by Sam Mendes, who surely sendes his regards to moi for the payback endured while playing Payback, also known as, “Yet Another Need for Speed game,” no one remembers because they all started blending together post-Most Wanted and, even among the blended, Payback is far from the one most want to play. But don't just take...

A Far Cry From a Good Time: A Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Review | Attack the Backlog

December 04, 2022 18:00

Hey there everyone! This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, a standalone bite-sized Far Cry that offered a cyberific experience full of 80s vibes and supposedly good times; however, good times were not had and that's not because Blood Dragon is bad, but worse than bad: it's disappointing. What made Blood Dragon disappointing? I guess you'll just have to check out the show to get in the know.

A Short Hike Is Nothing Short of a Shore Delight | Attack the Backlog

November 20, 2022 20:00

I needed this one. After the year I’ve had, more so than anything else, I just needed a nice, chill, relaxing little game; a game I could get lost in for an hour or two; a game I could play and, if only for a moment, forget about all the real world woes and other various things that had me (and have me) feeling so low; a game that didn’t ask a lot from me, but instead gave a lot to me. A Short Hike was that game. A Short Hike is that game. A Short Hike is, after all, exactly what it says it...

Sometimes Your First Time Is Best Left as Your Only Time: A Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance Second Run

November 06, 2022 21:00

Hello everyone. This is Second Runs, the series where I, Marc Kusnierz, revisits games I played and loved in the past to see if I still love them today. Will I learn something new, confirm something old, or quickly realize this was all a mistake as I slowly destroy what little bit of nostalgia I have left in this world. No matter the outcome, I’ve accepted the risks and will continue my journey through the opposite of a backlog until I’ve destroyed my soul all in the pursuit of content crea...

A Great Game, but Just an Okay Resident Evil Game: A Resident Evil 7 Review | Attack the Backlog

October 23, 2022 20:00

Hey there everyone! This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Resident Evil 7, the survival horror series’ jump to first-person and return to scares after going down a more action-centric route that started way back with Resident Evil 3. Did I love it? Did I hate it? Did I poop my pants multiple times while I played it? All these questions and more will be answered with a quick watch or listen, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

Sometimes Third Time's Not the Charm: A Dead Space 3 Review | Attack the Backlog

October 09, 2022 20:00

Hey there everyone! This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Dead Space 3, the followup to Dead Space 2 and...that’s all I got. A lot has been said about Dead Space 3 since its original release, most of it negative; however, when you go back and look at the reviews, you’ll see a wide range of opinions, from those who thought it was amazing--a handful of reviews were very close to giving it a 10/10--to those who thought it was disappointing on all fronts. I can’t say I was disappointe...

Very Pretty and Occasionally Shitty: A Destroy All Humans! Remake Review | Attack the Backlog

September 26, 2022 01:00

Hey there everyone! This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Destroy All Humans!, the 2020 remake of the game of the same name that originally came out back in 2005. Despite doing a lot right and, in many ways, being what I want from most PS2-era remakes, Destroy All Humans! makes a few things worse and, not just a little worse, but a lot worse, leading to incredibly frustrating moments that made me start hating a game I was overall enjoying, but I'll let the episode do the talking f...

Max Payne Still Fills Me With Max Yays, Even to This Day | Second Runs

September 12, 2022 01:00

Hello everyone. This is Second Runs, the series where I, Marc Kusnierz, revisits games I played and loved in the past to see if I still love them today. Will I learn something new, confirm something old, or quickly realize this was all a mistake as I slowly destroy what little bit of nostalgia I have left in this world. No matter the outcome, I’ve accepted the risks and will continue my journey through the opposite of a backlog until I’ve destroyed my soul all in the pursuit of content crea...

It's Good, Man, But Not Great, Babe: A Rage Review | Attack the Backlog

August 28, 2022 23:00

Hey there everyone! This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Rage, a first-person shooter where you wake up after spending over a century sleeping in a freezer just so you can do everyone’s dirty work for them, Norm MacDonald not included. P.S. Props to anyone who gets the entirety of this episode's title.

I Made a Terrible, Terrible Mistake: A Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot (Kind Of) Review | Attack the Backlog

August 14, 2022 23:00

Hey there everyone! This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, an open-world action-adventure game set in the world of Dragon Ball that retells the story of Dragon Ball Z in its entirety. If you want to experience Dragon Ball Z a second (or third/etc) time and don’t want to slog through the original series (or even the truncated Kai version), Kakarot is perfect for that. That said, if you did what I did in preparation, you may find yourself disappointed and wish...

While Not Quite a Zero, It’s Far From a Hero: A Resident Evil 0 Review | Attack the Backlog

July 31, 2022 23:00

Hey there everyone! This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Resident Evil 0, the prequel to Resident Evil starring Rebecca Chambers--aka, not Claire Redfield or Jill Valentine--and cool dude Billy Coen, with his super sweet tribal tattoo that apparently spells out “Motherlove” making me hate it (and him) even more than I already do. Billy hatred aside, 0 is a disappointing experiment that adds nothing of value to the series and, in some ways, takes a little away. At least it still l...

The Mean Greens Is What You Get When You Don't Eat Your Vegetables | Attack the Backlog

July 17, 2022 23:00

Hey there everyone! This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about The Mean Greens - Plastic Warfare--random, I know--a third-person competitive shooter where you play as toy army men and battle across familiar environments like backyards, kitchen tables, and fish tanks. If that sounds interesting to you, check out the episode to find out just how mean these greens be.

The Mafia Remake Is a Fresh Coat of Paint on a Car in Need of Heavy Tuning | Attack the Backlog

July 03, 2022 23:00

This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Mafia, specifically the Definitive Edition, which is a remake of the original game from 2002. Technically, this is a bit of a cheat episode since I did play the original when it came out, but since this is a full-blown remake, I said, "Fuck it, this is my show, and I can do whatever the heck I want," and whatever the heck I did. Regardless of hecks given or taken, the real question is, is Mafia as good today as it was back in the day and, to a...

The Last of Us Remains One of the Greatest Stories Ever Told in Gaming | Second Runs

June 19, 2022 23:00

"What the hell? This isn't Attack the Backlog! I demand a refund!" I'm sure at least none of you are saying that, but maybe one of you is thinking that and, well, this is a long time coming. Second Runs is a series I've been wanting to start for years--as made apparent in this episode--and I figured Father's Day was the perfect day to make it happen, especially since the first episode is all about The Last of Us. To keep things short, Second Runs is a series all about replaying games I loved...
