Recently (if you call since March recent), I decided to take another crack at doing a video game blog/journal thing. I've got a few entrees up and thought I'd share them. Since I've pretty much hit reset on this, I figured I'd do the same here and make a new thread (and not have one with so many now broken links). Since I know many of you love blogs and reading stuff, what a better place to share what I've been working on. Might in the future expand to more different forms of media but for now I'll stick with video games. Here's a link to the blog itself: medium.com/@thegoldencartridgeHere's a list of stuff I've done so far. GAME RETROSPECTIVES/REVIEWS: #1 Sonic The Hedgehog: CD#2 Cyber Tiger#3 Bomberman 64#4 Tekken 4#5 Metal Gear Sold: The Twin SnakesSIDE QUESTS (other stuff that are not game reviews): Super Mario 64's Dire, Dire, Docks

Good Stuff.
I've wanted to do something similar, at least for like Sega Genesis stuff when I collect again, but I'm already more invested in the book blog.

Good Stuff. I've wanted to do something similar, at least for like Sega Genesis stuff when I collect again, but I'm already more invested in the book blog. If you do a genesis blog I'd be down to read it, your blogs was one of the things that made me go "you know this seems fun, I'll give it a shot". I'd like to update weekly or biweekly but other commitments along with me losing focus on things has made that a challenge, but I'm working on that. Hell, maybe we can collab on a game or something down the road. Also if anyone out there has any recommendations for games or game topics for me to review, I'd love to hear them. Can't promise I can do them all but if one gives me an idea I would be down to review it.

In 1989, the Game Boy was released with the legendary puzzle game Tetris. In 2005, the PlayStation Portable launched hoping it could repeat the same magic with a puzzle game called Lumines. Review #8 - Lumines: Puzzle Fusion

New update. Not a review but an update on things and what's to come. State of the Golden Cartridge 11/21/23The highlights are pretty much. -Dropping the "Video Game blog" in the title as I want to expand into other types of media (movies, TV shows etc.). Video games will still be the main focus -Naming formula will change and the numbering review thing will be a thing of the past. Older reviews will get name changes. -Want to do a themed month at some point, no idea what or when. -Next review will be The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I wanted it out today for the game's 25th anniversary today but it needs more time.

New review! Decided to take a small break on my OOT review to write something a little smaller to break the mold. Don't worry, OOT review is still happening. Also it will be a two-parter Today I do something a little out side the box and review a video game controller this time. I talk about the XBOX's infamous (for better or worse) first controller in "The Duke". “The Duke” XBOX Controller Sure Was Something.
