I meant to post this at some point last week...whoops. If you haven't already seen it, my Tomba! 2 review is up! At the end of the video there's also a link to a fun video I did with with minimme looking at 5 visually impressive PS1 games, so if you missed that give it a watch! Also, in the next day or so, I'll be announcing a giveaway to celebrate hitting 2,000 subscribers and also to celebrate my second YouTube birthday. I figured the least I could do is give back a bit, so you can enter to win one of TWO $20 gift cards of your choice for either Steam, the PlayStation Network, Xbox's Store, or the Nintendo eShop! There'll be a video discussing more of that, and the winners will be announced on March 20th when I release my long-awaited 1,000...er, 2,000...er...2,000+ subscriber Q&A special! It goes without saying, but as always thank you for supporting the channel and this wonderful community we're building together! For a quick transparency update: I've allocated the patron funds gathered thus far and thrown in some of my own money to purchase a new microphone that'll be here later this week! This should clean up the last real remnant of the first two years of learning and growing, my significantly lower-quality audio when I'm on camera. With that fixed, you'll probably see me appearing more on camera during reviews and whatnot, since it'll be far easier to match up the audio seamlessly now! Later this or early next week, I'll have my review of Spyro 1 coming out, featuring one of YOU. I wonder who it could be 👀

Tomba! 2: The Evil Swine Return Review - The Golden Bolt

On today's episode of The Golden Bolt, I take a look at a cult classic PS1 game, 1999's Tomba! 2: The Evil Swine Return. Often lauded as an incredibly underrated hybrid of the platformer and RPG genres, does Tomba's second adventure live up to the hype, or has father time chipped the game away bit by bit? Find out HERE! NB: For anybody wondering why I've reviewed Tomba! 2 before the first game, this review was chosen by my good friend Brax. He successfully predicted the exact date that I'd hit 1,000 subscribers in my Discord #RoadTo1K contest, meaning he had free reign on picking a game for me to review! When I offered to review both games for the price of one, he said no, I HAD to review just 2. So...yeah. Like what you see? Be sure to subscribe! Got an idea for a game you want to see me do?
