Knockout City (PC) Review

Dragon Quest 3 Remake Coming in HD 2D

The game Octopath Traveler is an exceptional JRPG. I loved the characters, the story, and the combat. The best part of the entire game, however, was the HD 2D art style they utilized. The 2D platform hopped into unique dimensions with its creative…

Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K. Season One Review

I’ve been on a big Marvel binge as of late after thoroughly enjoying Falcon and the Winter Soldier and WandaVision. I was a bit shocked to see advertisements for Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K to be released on Hulu as opposed to the flagship Disney+. I was hooked upon learning…

Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World (Switch) Review

I’ve been covering the development and release of Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World pretty extensively. I had never played any of the Wonder Boy remakes (Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap and Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom for example) but my…

Valve May Be Working on a Handheld Steam Console

Do you remember when Valve made a valiant attempt to take over the living room gaming space with their Steam Machines? Well, if not, you’re far from alone. Steam Machines were essentially a hybrid of sorts in that they could run pretty…
