Many people talk ill of the Madden franchise. They say that since there is no competition for a licensed NFL game, it’s just an updated roster for $60. Madden 21 is not this. It offers plenty of new and/or features that would entice new players and call back older fans of the franchise. I can say that with some authority as I am an old fan of Madden. When I was a kid, I remember playing Madden’s a...[Read More]
Going into Superliminal, I was expecting a routine puzzle game. When the puzzles started to warp and play with my perspective, those expectations were subverted. Superliminal plays with perception in some of the most creative ways. Its world is constructed around your point of view. Sprinkle in the story element of dreaming and you have a good thing going. The whole game makes me think of Portal m...[Read More]
Not only the title of the game but Stranded Deep is the feeling I get while playing. A different take on the survival genre hits on creativity while it misses on polish. There were ideas I enjoyed that the game introduced that I really wished worked way better. Survival games are supposed to be hard and challenging, but this game does not help you at all and it can feel like you aren’t progressing...[Read More]
I cannot begin to say how impressed I am with Concrete Genie. Going into the game, I had a mindset that this would be a fun, artsy game. Yet, I had no idea how emotional and breathtaking the game would be. From the opening sequence, all the way through I was hooked into the characters and story. And as time went on, I appreciated my art, in the game, way more. This was a really emotional game and ...[Read More]
When Crash Team Racing was originally released in 1999 I was four years old. During this time, my mom was working nights so my dad could come home from work and watch me. These nights mostly consisted of him kicking my ass in Crash Team Racing. He would always play as Polar and no matter what character I chose, I would still lose. Getting to play Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled hits me like a wonde...[Read More]
I am not sure if we as a website, have done a review for E3 Conferences, but just like Thanos, I’ll do it myself. In this review, I am going to breakdown what we saw and why it was good or not. Also, I will go over why it was good or bad to show this. First thoughts about the conference as a whole, it was eh. Microsoft had an opportunity to really blow us out of the water, without Sony there...[Read More]
In honor of E3 coming up in the next couple of days, I wanted to get together a list of some predictions that our team has for the gaming Super Bowl. E3 is the best time of the year for gamers. The biggest companies in the industry come together and tell us the future. It gets us fired up to be a part of this community. This year is a little different from Sony’s absence, but nonetheless, yo...[Read More]
Into the shoes and onto the motorcycle of Deacon St. John, the zombie apocalypse bounty hunter of the Northwest, Days Gone takes players through a long and drawn out story that never gets it hooks in. Gameplay, on the other hand, is fun and exciting, but it feels as if more was promised than what is actually delivered. Past Sony exclusives like God of War, Uncharted, and The Last of Us have been h...[Read More]
The latest installment of Lego games is here and it’s as ridiculous as ever. Lego DC Supervillains is another great creation from the people at Traveller’s Tales Games. The story is great from beginning to end, not to mention it’s fun all the way through. The added aspect of your created character being important made it more interesting and made me more invested since it was my character. In olde...[Read More]
