Madden NFL 27 (Xbox Series X) Review

Madden NFL 27 and EA College Football 27 both release within weeks of one another now that EA is publishing two titles ahead of football season. It’s not necessarily like they’re competing against one another; each league has its own fandoms. Football fanatics will probably…

K-pop Idol Stories: Road to Debut (Xbox Series X) Review

For many, the world of K-Pop is just as much about the industry as it is the music. Not to say people are fans of the grueling work that goes into stardom, but there’s something about the spectacle of debuts, solo efforts,…

EA Sports College Football 27 (Xbox Series X) Review

It’s the middle of summer, and as I write this, it’s nearly 100 degrees in Chicago. Naturally, I’m daydreaming about football season. That’s partially a mental reprieve from the harsh heat, but also because I’ve spent quite a bit of time lately…

Rightfully, Beary Arms (Xbox Series X) Review

It’s starting to feel like people are willing to admit that games can be funny. Of course, plenty of examples point to the inverse, especially those that attempt to highlight humor as a main draw but fail to stick the landing. However,…

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 (Campaign) Review

In a lot of ways, following up Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 with another entry in the sub-series is risky. Following Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard, all eyes were on BO6, and it delivered on many fronts. Mainly, a stellar campaign…

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…
