Formula Legends (PC) – Review

“Okay. Here we go. Focus. Speed. I am speed. One winner, 42 losers. I eat losers for breakfast:” One of the inherent parts of any racing game is the feeling of speed, the feeling of control, a sense of precision, and the…

NHL 26 (Xbox Series X) Review

NHL 26 arrives just one month before the start of the upcoming season. A mainstay in sports video games for years now, the series is always a hit with diehard hockey fans, but will this year’s entry keep casual or moderate players…

NBA 2K26 (Xbox Series X) Review

Reviewing an NBA 2K game is, surprisingly, something I’ve been doing formally for nearly a decade. As a keen consumer of any sports game on the market, NBA 2K has always been the best overall offering, even if I have my own personal preferences.…

Eureka “All That Glitters… A Night at Global Dynamics” – Review

She’s back! This will be an odd one because it is a two-parter that isn’t written or directed by the same people, which is strange. “All That Glitters,” which is part 1, is directed by “invincible” director Michael Grossman, with writing coming…

Void War (PC) Review

Something has been annoying me for a few months now, and I want to discuss it. Void War is a recent release that almost every gaming news outlet and their dog has described as “FTL: Faster Than Light set in the Warhammer…

David’s Backlog Busting: Shadows of Forbidden Gods

I often say my goal is to get through as much of my game backlog as I can before the heat death of the universe. Today, under the Backlog Busting microscope, is a game that requires you to bring about a different,…

Shantae Advance: Risky’s Revolution (PC) Review

I’m very fond of the Shantae series. Wayforward’s Genie-themed Metroidvania franchise is a hidden gem that often gets mocked because of its scantily clad heroine or the occasional large-breasted boss enemy. Shantae Advance: Risky’s Revolution is the latest entry, yet Wayforward has…

David’s Backlog Busting: The Roottrees are Dead

Breaking news at the top of the hour this morning: The Roottrees are Dead, and someone made a video game about that. As part of my endeavors to make a dent in my game backlog, I’ve had a look at said video…

Eureka “Maneater” – Review

It’s my favorite Frankie Ward joke! Directed by Michael Robinson, this is Robinson’s only episode of the season and second of the show after “Before I forget.” His one episode next season is one that’s much easier to remember, though, directing Nick…

Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar (PC) Review

Story of Seasons, formerly known as Harvest Moon, is one of the most consistent simulation franchises in gaming. As we see more and more farming and community-centric games flood the shelves, it’s hard to say that Story of Seasons isn’t still one of the…
