SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs (PS2) – Review

For the life of me, I couldn’t remember the first mission of Zipper Interactive’s 2002 title SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs. I always remember the Alaska mission, as when I was a stupid little child (apparently we were all one at some point)…

Total War: Pharaoh Dynasties (PC) Review

Of all the games that I thought that I would review again, Total War: Pharaoh was not one of them. When I reviewed it, I gave the game a 7.5/10, which was almost on par with other critics’ scores and a bit…

Though you can track the origins of reality TV back to the 1940s with radio and short films for TV, the 70s and 80s spawned something closer to what we know now. However, it wasn’t until John de Mol Jr created the…

Vampire Therapist (PC) Review

Editor’s Note: Vampire Therapist contains mature themes related to mental health and is not suited for all audiences. I am very picky when it comes to visual novels or narrative-focused games. However, now and then a game will come across my inbox…

Console Sale Decreases Don’t Mean Console Gaming is Dead

There’s growing concern and conversation about the future of gaming as it pertains to where players play their favorite titles. Xbox and Microsoft are betting that the Cloud is the future; meanwhile, Sony is still, alongside Nintendo, firmly in the console space,…

The Star Named EOS (Nintendo Switch) Review

A video game’s ability to use a real-world medium for creativity and artistry as a key gameplay mechanic can be tricky to pull off. That said, photography has proved to be one such medium that translates well to a video game. In The…
