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

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

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

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Silver Linings DLC (2018)

The final of the three DLCs drop right before christmas, and with that, I really thought there would be some Christmas themed adventures in this last bit of DLC. Even if there wasn’t, the continuing story of the overarching villain Screwball takes center stage once again… actually not really,

Reviews

Donut County (2018)

When Donut County came out, it’s all that anyone could talk about, in fact, a few months before it even came out, everyone in the games industry was talking about it. Apparently everyone was following it for years and I never knew about it. Once it came out, everyone

Reviews

Just Cause 4 (2018)

Man, what a joy/bummer this game really was. I was never a huge Just Cause fan, but the games do just offer the same sort of chaos that seems inline with the memories of first playing GTA 3. Where you can just run around and blow stuff up all

Reviews

Katamary Damacy (2004)

After seeing thing game when it came out for the PS2 and being intrigued by it, but not enough to ever buy it, and playing the first area several times over the years, and even playing the 360 demo back when that came out, I’m extremely surprised how a

Reviews

Forza Horizon 4 (2018)

Forza games always eluded me, until Horizon 3, the games reached a point where they had to split into two separate versions, Forza Motorsport version, where it is all pristine, racing cars on real world tracks, and the presentation is key over everything else, the “Gran Turismo” approach, where you

Reviews

Celeste (2018)

After hearing about this game being “So good” from many people, I took a look at it and was really unsure if I was going to like it. Normally I stay away from this type of game. Cute indie pixel art platformer that prides itself on how many deaths you

Reviews

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Turf Wars DLC (2018)

I’m going to keep this fairly short (just like the actual DLC) and say this middle DLC was a real letdown. Continuing the developing story of Black Cat and the mob, Hammerhead is the “main” villain and has the found that the mob isn’t respected anymore, so he

Reviews

Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018)

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a Western game through and through. What I mean by that is that it is a game about the old west, good and bad, that is what it is at its core. It has taken the tropes and subtleties of the genre and made them

Reviews

Batman: Arkham City (2011)

Starting 18 months after the events of Arkham Asylum, Gotham sees the rise of Arkham City, a sectioned off piece of Gotham, where all criminals are let loose to do whatever they want away from normal society. Bruce Wayne allows himself to be taken captive to see what is really

Reviews

Batman: Arkham Asylum (2009)

People say there weren't any good Batman games until Arkham Asylum. I wholeheartedly disagree, games like the Sunsoft Batman ‘89 NES game, Adventures of Batman and Robin for the Genesis, and even Batman Vengeance for Xbox/PS2 was a really well done version of the Dark Knight. So I didn’

Reviews

Shadow of the Tomb Raider (2018)

The Tomb Raider series is always one that holds a special place in my heart, from playing parts of the first one whenever renting it, or buying the second one on PC all the way up to the modern area reboots. This last one in the trilogy was passed of

Red Dead Redemption (2010)

Marvel’s Spider-Man (PS4) (2018)

The best version of Spider-Man 2

Streets Of Rage 3 (1994)

Deluxe is the only way to play

Reviews

Streets Of Rage (1991)

When looking for a good brawler, you can’t go without mentioning what in my mind is the king of brawlers, the Streets Of Rage series. There is something special about this series, and the first game in the series sets up a good rhythm of where is goes. The

Reviews

Assassin’s Creed: Origins (2017)

What a difference a year off makes. Even with the unseemingly bland setting of Egypt, this game takes everything you thought you knew about the Assassin’s Creed formula and turns it on its head. Almost nothing about this game is what is conventional about the Assassin’s Creed games.

Reviews

Far Cry 5 (2018)

Boy, what a bummer of a numbered follow up to the pretty decent Far Cry 4. Let’s just get to complaining about this game, since there are only really negatives and I gotta get through it fast before I actually just get angry. 1. Nothing your character does makes

Reviews

Road Rash II (1992)

Pros: Slightly better Graphics New chain weapon More Aggressive opponents Cons: Music is scratchy and trying too hard New rider names and personalities are lame and stupid (Jamaican “Hey Mon!”) Bad sound effects (hitting bikes sounds like a snare drum Cops have no names or personalities, just “Officer 41” now

Reviews

Road Rash (1991)

Road Rash holds a special time and place in my memories. It was the only game my grandmother played with me, and she never got more than last place because she “didn’t want to break the speed limit”. The original Road Rash for the Sega Genesis was the total

Reviews

Sayonara Wild Hearts (2019)

Wow. I honestly wasn’t expecting much out of this “mobile game” as it released as one of the big titles for Apple’s Arcade subscription service, but I heard almost universal praise as soon as it was released. It was really the only title that was talked about positively
