Little Nightmares 2 (2021)

I’m a wuss when it comes to horror games. I can’t stand being scared, I don’t find it enjoyable in the least bit. However, when there is something more than just trying to make me scared, I can occasionally push through the fear and continue on. Events

Hitman 3 (2021)

You’d think that a third entry in a gaming series would start to wear thin on the original premise of a game, but Hitman 3 shows that you can continually step up the progress of ideas and morph the series over time into something so far beyond what your

Goldeneye 007 HD Remake (2021)

One of the best things about Microsoft purchasing Rare back in 2002 was the fact that we were hoping to see some if not most of the developers infamous games on a much more powerful console. When the Xbox 360 came out and Xbox Live was starting to really gain

Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity (2020)

The Dynasty Warriors series has been around for quite a while, debuting in 1997 on the original Playstation, it was never a series that I paid attention to. With it focusing primarily on semi-historical versions of infamous Chinese battles from hundreds of years ago, it was barely a blip on

Scott Pilgrim Vs The World: The Game (2010)

Note: Reviewing the 2021 Re-Release Scott Pilgrim Vs The World: The Game, is based off the Graphic Novels of the same name, and with that, it follows the basics of the books plots, more so than the movie does. Sometimes a game feels like it was perfectly tailored for a

Burnout Paradise: Remastered (2018)

Burnout Paradise Remastered is the same exact game it was back when it launched on Xbox 360 and PS3 back in 2008, with all the included DLC, and some higher resolution visuals. While playing the same game with higher quality graphics might sound nice, it still has the major issues

ManEater (2020)

There isn’t a lot to choose from when it comes to video games about controlling sharks. Jaws from NES, Jaws Unleashed on the original Xbox, and that’s about it. ManEater from TripWire studios takes what should be a simple gimmick game, and deepens the plot and makes it

Bugsnax (2020)

Bugsnax is an adventure game where you play as an unnamed character who does a bunch of fetch quests for other island inhabitants.Even though you have been brought to the island under the guise of interviewing a famous explorer, you soon get relegated to a personal assistant for each

Spider-Man: Miles Morales (2020) (PS4 Version)

I’ve said before that Spider-Man has always been one of my two favorite Super Heroes, tied with Batman. Batman was definitely my first with seeing the 1989 Keaton movie with my mom on opening day in the theater when I was 4. Spidey though, was more prominent in my

Pikuniku (2019)

A game with this hard of a name to pronounce at first sight, Is usually a good indication that it’s probably not going to be something that I like. It’s got Japanese katakana underneath the title in its “box art”/Store page. That in and of itself isn’

Mafia - Definitive Edition (2020)

When the original Mafia game came out in 2002 I was just getting out of high school and looking forward to GTA: Vice City much more as the superior “mafia” game, with its neon twinge of 80’s cocaine fueled nostalgia. I don’t think I even remember seeing the

Control: The Foundation & AWE DLC (2020)

The Foundation DLC: When Control originally came out, I was excited to play it, but I was still wary of Epic’s exclusivity on the game. I wanted all my Remedy games on Steam, and Epic’s stranglehold of PC Platform exclusives really was making everyone mad at the time.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 (2020)

Before this Remake of Tony 1 & 2 got announced a couple months ago, I actually played through the original three games…. In fact I played through the first game multiple times on different consoles. The original Playstation version, then the Dreamcast, and also the Xbox version. I kinda burnt myself

Reviews

Miles & Kilo (2017)

A young boy and his dog, is there nothing more pure in gaming than a story of a kid and his faithful companion? Runner games are usually not my favorite genre, and mostly because the majority of them are fairly shallow and seem to be destined for the mobile free

Reviews

Carrion (2020)

Carrion, which is defined as “Dead or putrefying flesh” is a game about exactly that… well, kinda. The character you actually play as, is a massive monster with tendrils and many mouths. It’s immediately interesting in the way it looks and moves. It is a dripping bloody mass of

Reviews

Sludge Life (2020)

Gaming is so vast now, that there is basically a genre or type of game for pretty much anything and everything now. Sludge Life is a game that can be described as “Grimmy” and that fits the actual style extremely well. Taking pieces of those hazy smoggy summer days in

SuperHot: Mind, Control, Delete (2020)

Let’s get this out of the way first, Mind, Control, Delete is basically SuperHot 2, it is more SuperHot with a bit of a twist on it. Team SuperHot announced and threw Mind Control Delete into Early Access back in 2017 and I did what I normally do with

Reviews

Devolverland Expo (2020)

E3 never came this year, which is a bummer, I’ve gone through my thoughts on this in a separate article and also multiple times on the podcast, so I won’t be going into that here. Publisher Devolver Digital, has a reputation for doing something weird and strange the

SkaterXL (2020)

SkaterXL is barely a game. As someone who purchased it long ago in early access at $10 on sale, and seeing the price jump to $40 on release date, it came with the hope that it would have flourished into the next Skate or Tony Hawk franchise, I was sorely

Reviews

Assemble With Care (2020)

Games that can be completed in a single sitting are usually fairly pretty personal stories, and you can get the sense that Assemble With Care is one of those types. While it is a very sweet story of a repair woman who is alone in a new small village, you

Old Gods Rising (2020)

Over the last few years, there has been a genre defined by the main type of mechanic in the game, which is movement, or exploring… more commonly referred to as walking. This type of game arose in popularity due to games like Gone Home, or Dear Esther. These games are

Gato Roboto (2019)

Metroid was never really appealing to me, I tried to get into the series so many times, and I usually give up an hour or two in. One of the reasons is because of the backtracking, and also the unenjoyable atmosphere of it. So when I loaded up Gato Roboto

Minecraft Dungeons (2020)

I never have played more than about an hour or two of a dungeon crawler… I know, I know… but they never interested me, and the control scheme of just clicking on the area you want to go to was always off putting to me. Minecraft Dungeons serves as a

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 (2001)

The first time I saw Tony Hawk 3, it was the original playstation version, which didn’t look all that impressive, but a few months later I owned a Playstation 2 and got my hands on what a lot of people consider the best in the series… and I don’

Deliver Us The Moon (2018)

What should have been a small game that was to pass some time became so much more to me in the course of playing it. Deliver Us the Moon is a story about how the Earth receives energy from harvested resources on the moon. Suddenly and without warning, that power
