Prime Gaming – November 2022

Is this month’s Prime Gaming just punishment for everything I said in the “Kerblam!” review? Don’t worry, all the boring stuff like the Flames of the Nether DLC for Minecraft Dungeons, the bundles for Two Point Hospital, and all the other tripe I don’t quite understand the point…

Fallen Legion: Revenants (XBO) Review

Fallen Legion: Revenants is the sequel to the two-part collection Fallen Legion: Rise to Glory published by NIS America. I enjoyed the original game’s unique, fast-paced combat system and was excited to see how the gameplay would expand in the sequel. Unfortunately,…

Airoheart (Switch) Review

I often find myself looking for Indie games inspired by classics. This isn’t always to relive those nostalgic days, sometimes I want to see how a new developer (with time and distance) can iterate on a classic idea. Airoheart has the inspirational…

Warhammer 40K: Mechanicus Is Free On Epic

Monday, Final Fantasy (the not ultra-gay one) got a story trailer, and everyone’s favorite Pokémon knock-off Digimon is getting multiple games at some point. Tuesday, Teardown‘s latest update highlights mods, and Cult of the Lamb has a timed event I know I’ll never get to. Wednesday, the news became drier than a nun…

Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher (Switch) Review

I’m not the world’s biggest Ultraman fan, but I love kaiju media. The old Godzilla films hold a special place in my heart after plenty of holidays spent growing up and watching them with my uncle and cousins. The Ultraman tokusatsu is widely beloved…

Doctor Who “The Power Of The Doctor” – Review

Pac-Man World Re-Pac (Switch) Review

When Pac-Man World came out on the Sony PlayStation in 1999, one of my parents rented it from Blockbuster for me to play. I must have rented that game a dozen times after that over the span of probably several years. I…

Overwatch 2 Halloween Terror 2022 Event Is Live

It’s only been three weeks since Overwatch 2 launched, and it’s already time for the first seasonal event. Given the time of the year, fans of its predecessor should know all too well some of the things to expect from Halloween Terror…

Signalis (PC) Review

When a work is meant to evoke a strong sense of nostalgia from its inspirations, there is an interesting balance made between meeting the rose-colored glasses view of what came before it and highlighting the original pieces. The survival horror genre also…

NHL 23 (Xbox Series X) Review

As a longtime fan of EA’s NHL franchise of games, I’m astonished at how many positive, impactful changes come with this year’s iteration, NHL 23. There are a lot of things that make hockey video games fun, including fast-paced action and tight…
