FIFA 21 Hit With Ultimate Team “EAGate” Scandal

In what is oddly the world’s weirdest story to throw my way mid-March, an EA employee has been accused of some form of insider trading. Not on the stock market, that would be too normal for the internet and EA. Instead, it…

Call Me Under (PC) First Impressions

Call Me Under, the forthcoming visual novel from Lunaris Games currently slated for release in 2021, offers an alternately dreamy and unsettling trip through an alternate 1950s. It is centered on the underwater, glass-encased city perhaps aptly named Styx. As a community…

Halo: Reach (PC) Campaign Review

As I continue to complete every game in the Halo: Master Chief Collection, I find myself particularly-excited for Halo: Reach, the last title that Bungie worked on before moving to Destiny. At the time there was a lot of hype to further explore the…

The Pokemon 25 celebration continues all year long. So far, we’ve had Nintendo Direct-style events, a virtual concert, and plenty of games in the pipeline. Two games that already released are actually on sale right now to celebrate the occasion. Are they worth…

Monster Energy Supercross 4 (PC) Review

Today, I’m reviewing Monster Energy Supercross 4 or, as the logo on Steam shows, “Monster Energy AMA Supercross 4 FIM World Championship The Official Videogame”. An alarming number of brands and subtitles aside, I was eager to see what the series would play…
