Paradise Killer (Switch) Review

I love a good mystery, a whodunit if you will. Because of that, investigation games like the Sherlock Holmes franchise, are high on my list of enjoyable experiences. I also love things that could be described as weird or strange, like Katamari…

Onee Chanbara Origin (PC) Review

When I play a game, I want to get straight to the action. Maybe I’ll pop into the graphics settings for 30 seconds to see if everything’s optimized and to turn off bloom/motion blur, but not much more. When I powered on Onee…

Lovecraft Country Episode 9 Review: “Rewind 1921”

Warning: This article contains discussion of racism, violence, homophobia, murder, child abuse, and death. Engaging with (and relating to) fantasy, science fiction, horror, and any combination of the above will often, if not always, require accepting some otherworldly or even outlandish logic.…

9 Monkeys of Shaolin (PS4) Review

Almost 30 years removed from the height of popularity for the beat-em-up genre, it’s tough to really stand out in a type of game that’s been done in every way imaginable. So, I tempered my expectations going into 9 Monkeys of Shaolin, especially…

Alwa’s Legacy (Switch) Review

I had heard about Alwa’s Awakening a while back, and retro platformers are always something I look into. So when I heard about Alwa’s Legacy, the 16-bit sequel coming to Nintendo Switch, I had to give it a look. Granted, it probably…

Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time (PS4) Review

I think it is pretty safe to say that any child of the ’90s (or any adult of that time period) that owned a Sony PlayStation has probably at least heard of Crash Bandicoot. After the release of the Crash Bandicoot N’Sane…

Ring of Pain (PC) Review

October has arrived and with it, the macabre, the spooky, and the dark themes come out in spades. I’m the first to tell you that I’m a chicken when it comes to horror, but I do like creepy, dark games. Specifically, I…

Dr Who “The Sound of Drums” & “Last of the Time Lords” – Review

I’ll be the first one to admit it. I don’t think the B and C plots of this final story of Series 3, starting with last week’s “Utopia,” stand up too well. Don’t get me wrong: I like them, and I think…

Monster Truck Championship (PC) Review

When I saw I had the chance to review a game developed by Teyon, I was a bit nervous. You may not recognize them by name, but you’ve no doubt heard of the atrocity that is Rambo: The Video Game. Thankfully, I…

Max Payne 3 (PC) Review

After playing through the series, I’ve finally come to the end of Max Payne. Not to be confused with The Fall of Max Payne, the moniker of Max Payne 2, Max Payne‘s 3rd outing truly feels like the climax and falling action of the…
