Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 (2019)

After almost 10 years to the date, the Ultimate Alliance series receives another addition to the franchise. This time published by Nintendo and only available on the Switch, it leaves the dungeon crawler with performance and graphics still sitting on the table in order to focus more on portability. UA

X-Men Legends (2004)

I remember when X-Men Legends came out, I heard it was a “dungeon crawler” and that was enough to put me off of it initially. I was never a fan of that type of gameplay, but it being a X-Men game, I was always a bit intrigued. I started playing

Super Mario Maker 2 (2019)

Difficult doesn’t equal good level design

Reviews

Cadence Of Hyrule: Legend of the NecroDancer (2019)

I’m not very good at rhythm games that are extremely focused on precise timing. I love Rock Band and other rhythm games, but I just can’t keep a beat very well. I can fudge the timing a bit and with calibration tools it does help a lot, but

Reviews

Marvel vs Capcom Infinite (2017)

Living up to Marvel Vs Capcom 2’s reputation was seemingly impossible. It was and still is held as the standard for fighting games for most people. So when MvC 3 came out it already was going to be a downer, and it was. The weird 3D cheap plastic look

Reviews

Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow (2010)

After playing all the original releases, I finally came back to Lords of Shadow with a much better understanding of what the Castlevania series is. Lords of Shadow is something both completely different yet has hints of familiar feelings. Gone are the side scrolling linear paths, gone are the backtracking

Reviews

Super Castlevania IV (1991)

Super Castlevania IV was an early release for the Super Nintendo, so I can understand that the game isn’t the pinnacle of graphics or gameplay, but it does show off some impressive technical things like Mode 7 which really does make the game stand out, even now, from the

Reviews

Castlevania: Bloodlines (1997)

Bloodlines is an awful Castlevania game. It doesn’t have anything to do with the Belmonts, and just everything about the game itself is just boring and ugly. The music was ok, but nothing that was memorable or really stuck in my mind. What was cool was the ability to

Reviews

Castlevania: Rondo Of Blood (1993)

Rondo of Blood is where Castlevania really started feeling like a full solid series of games. Even though it wasn’t available in the USA back when it came out in 1993, it gained some legendary status just because it was that one game everyone kinda knew about, even though

Reviews

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (1997)

The Castlevania series has been such a prominent staple of gaming, and especially Symphony in particular. SInce it’s been reviewed time after time for so long, I’m going to just explain my personal experiences and thoughts about the game. Castlevania has always eluded me, even as a kid.

Reviews

Dangerous Driving (2019)

Dangerous Driving is Three Fields Entertainments culmination of several years of build up. TFE is composed of ex-Criterion developers who wanted to bring back their original Burnout series. They started out with Dangerous Golf, to learn the Unreal Engine, then ramped it up with Danger Zone, then Danger Zone 2

Reviews

Burnout Revenge (2006)

Burnout Revenge has done something I never thought possible. Coming back to it years later, It has been able to de-throne Burnout 3 Takedown and take its rightful place as my favorite Burnout game. I was convinced for so long that 3 featured the best of what the Burnout series

Reviews

Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 (2019)

As I immediately went into Division 2 from the first game, I noticed things that had changed much more than probably would have if I had taken a break. At the outset, I noticed the game felt snappier, it felt like my character had more weight underneath him. He didn’

Reviews

Tom Clancy’s The Division (2016)

When Tom Clancy’s The Division came out in the 2016, it looked like a drab boring shooter with not much else to draw you in. Touted as a mainly multiplayer game, it quickly fell off my radar, as I don’t really have anyone else to play these games

Reviews

ToeJam & Earl: Back In The Groove (2019)

After the original ToeJam And Earl game on the Sega Genesis, the sequels have been pretty terrible. With the second game straying so far from the original that it was a side scrolling platformer with some of the worst controls I’ve ever played, and the third trying to bring

Reviews

Far Cry: New Dawn (2019)

Far Cry New Dawn is a “stand alone” game, which is strange because it directly follows up and ties into Far Cry 5. It's also more of a sequel than any other Far Cry, and it feels as it should have either been DLC or just labeled an Expansion Pack,

Reviews

Crackdown 3 (2019)

The only thing that sums up Crackdown 3 is the word disappointed. A game announced in 2014 and came out 5 years later has no real reason for it to be so mediocre. If the developers set out to make a new Crackdown game, they did just that… a game

Reviews

Kingdom Hearts 3 (2019)

The wait is finally over...was it worth it? Eh...Not really. In between the 13 years since Kingdom Hearts 2 there has been literally over 17 other games and re releases of the series before they finally got to the actual numerical sequel. In that time, Kingdom Hearts quadrupled

Reviews

Beautiful Katamari (2007)

Man, where to start with Beautiful Katamari…. I remember when this game came out, I was excited because it was on a modern console, so it was going to be in “HD”. I remember playing the demo, but never buying it, I think the controls just confused me just enough

Reviews

Asura’s Wrath (2012)

Raging against the universe, one QTE at a time

Reviews

Catherine Classic (2019)

When I first played Catherine years ago, I thought it was a decent game, the Anime cutscenes were not really my thing, but it was nicely animated, and the puzzle gameplay was cool, but I really liked the story, the whole thing about this guy trying to balance two girls

Reviews

Me and My Katamari (2005)

The third Katamari game I have played through, and the third game in basically 1 month. Katamari is pure simple joy, from the basic mechanics and premise, to its overly joyus soundtrack. Everything is a very simple and very fun pocket sided adventure in bite sized enjoyment. The PSP game

Reviews

Hitman 2 (2018)

Hitman 2 came out 3 years after the 2016 game and also came out like a normal game, all at once instead of episodically like the 2016 game. Honestly this was a huge hindrance, I think the game would have received much more attention, throughout the year instead of shoving

Reviews

Batman: The Enemy Within/Season 2 (2017)

Episode 1 * Better Graphics * More artistic style and presentation (like a movie with different setup shops) * Basic Riddles and clues Season 2 of Batman’s Telltale adventure brings some interesting ideas to the table, even if the opening wasn’t as bombastic as Season 1’s first episode, it did

Reviews

Batman: Telltale Series (2015)

Episode 1 Ever since Telltale didn’t follow through with Wolf Among Us 2, and instead kept churning out so many series on unwanted IP, I lost track of what they did and also just stopped caring. I remember hearing about their Batman game back when it was announced at
