Shantae and the Seven Sirens (PS5) Review

I’m a big fan of the Shantae franchise. Wayforward’s Metroidvania series has consistently provided some of my favorite side-scrolling Metroidvania experiences. They always wind up having interesting mechanics, cool ideas, and a fun story too. Now that Shantae and the Seven Sirens…

Burnout 3: Takedown (PS2) – Review

The ultimate “blink and you’ll miss it” racer, Burnout 3: Takedown is the reason I don’t think I am allowed to drive. It has been 18-years of swearing at those damn pillars, busses, and every time I’ve missed the multipliers for the crash…

A Memoir Blue (Switch) Review

In recent years, I have followed Annapurna Interactive’s work pretty closely. I enjoy a good narrative experience as much as the next person, and Annapurna Interactive has worked with some great developers. They tend to focus on stories that may hit a…

Happy’s Humble Burger Farm (PS4) – Review

This will be the most surprising thing you hear today: this is not a Five Night at Freddy’s clone. I know, I know, but you just gotta believe it. Don’t let the packaging, loading screen, the mascot-based villains, or logo and intro…

Doctor Who “Sleep No More” – Review

Sleep no more? I can hardly keep my eyes open at another base-under-siege story Mark. I’ll thank you for offering up the most boring horror-bent on my birthday, or at least it was at the weekend when I typically watch these. Regardless…

Trek to Yomi (PC) Review

It was a little over a month ago that I had the chance to play a preview copy of Trek to Yomi. With visuals inspired by the likes of Akira Kurosawa and a story that combines timeless samurai cinema with Japanese mythology,…

Hitman III (XBO) – Review

Hitman III is the third Hitman in the third Hitman reboot series. If you find that a needlessly confusing sentence, tell that to IO Interactive, they won’t listen for love nor Blood Money. Once again it released the way I like it, complete enough to the point…

Back 4 Blood – Tunnels of Terror DLC (PC) Review

Back 4 Blood was released last October, to the delight of fans of the Left 4 Dead franchise getting a close-as-can-be spiritual successor from the original devs. While the lasting power of this game is certainly in question (with about 3k concurrent players),…

GTA: San Andreas (PS2) – Review

The PS2 version is the real “Definitive Edition.” To say I like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas would be like saying some people like a PS1 JRPG that came on two discs. It is one of the reasons for my adoration of…

Kirby and the Forgotten Land (Switch) Review

I haven’t played a lot of the Kirby games in my time, mostly some older ones like Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards or the game that started it all, Kirby’s Dreamland. However, when Kirby and the Forgotten Land was announced in September…
