Sega Ages: Columns II – The Voyage Through Time
The Sega Ages releases by M2 are something special. Release after release, they re-present old Sega classics anew. The level of passion and detail afforded to these releases is noticeable, and absolutely commendable. I might not like every game they are re-presenting, but I sure appreciate their efforts. Lately, I have been playing their latest release on the Switch: Columns II: The Voyage Through...[Read More]
Code Vein
As far as the “Soulslike” genre goes, Lords of the Fallen remains my favorite. Having played Code Vein, that remains the case, but Code Vein is still pretty cool, despite some snags. Much of these issues can be patched and worked out post-launch, too, so, if you’re looking for a Soulslike that is also heavy on anime and vampires, Code Vein could very well be for you. I’ll a...[Read More]
Star Wars Pinball (Switch)
For well over a decade, Zen Studios has been developing stellar pinball videogames. One franchise or license that that they have done for several years is Stars Wars, with releases on mobile, Wii U, 3DS, etc. Now, Star Wars Pinball makes its way to the Nintendo Switch. It’s available now on the eShop and also in physical format (for the first time). I’ve played more videogame pinball t...[Read More]
Devil May Cry 2 (Switch)
Devil May Cry would be amongst my favorite game IPs, such that I have a retail copy of every release on the shelf. Earlier this year we saw and enjoyed Devil May Cry 5, but some sixteen years ago was the release of the misaligned Devil May Cry 2 (DMC2). The weakest link in an otherwise superb franchise, Devil May Cry 2 has been re-released a time or two over the years, but it just recently made it...[Read More]
Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered
Most any ‘top PS3 games’ list would probably include a JRPG gem from Level-5 and Bandai Namco, with animation by the heralded Studio Ghilbi. That gem would have the name Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch (NNK), which told a heartfelt tale of a young boy trying to save his mother and a fantasy world at the same time. A sequel came out on PS4 about a year ago that was well received, b...[Read More]

Rambo
With Rambo: Last Blood due out in theaters in about ten days, Lionsgate has recently released the 2008 Rambo, aka Rambo 4, on 4K UHD. A few months ago, they had also released the original Rambo Trilogy on 4K UHD. I received a copy of Rambo on 4K UHD for review and it’s every bit as intense and impressive of an action film as I remember it being when I first saw it in theaters eleven years ag...[Read More]
Control
Remedy Entertainment are one of those premiere studios that, when they announce a new game is in the works, it’s a big deal. With a portfolio that includes Max Payne 1 & 2, Alan Wake, and Quantum Break, anyone looking for a compelling third person action adventure with a strong story and character development ought to give them serious consideration. While Quantum Break was arguably a st...[Read More]
Sega Ages: Space Harrier (Switch)
Space Harrier was one of those games I cut my teeth on in my youth. I never played it at the arcade, I was too young when it was released in 1985, but I sure came to enjoy the Sega Master version that was released three years later. This week, Sega and M2 have continued their impressive release of Sega Ages games, and one of those was Space Harrier. Having been many years since I played it, yet st...[Read More]
Master Z: Ip Man Legacy
Donnie Yen’s Ip Man movies are awesome, and I’m glad that Ip Man 4 is in the works. You may recall a great fight scene between Ip Man and Tin Chi in Ip Man 3. A spin-off movie that I recently received for review from Well Go USA, Master Z: Ip Man Legacy, tells a side story of the loser of that battle. Directed by Yuen Woo Ping (The Matrix, Kill Bill), and featuring an outstanding cast ...[Read More]
Ion Fury
Re-releases, long overdue sequels, old school genres and even consoles being revived — it’s a routine theme anymore in the industry, giving new generations of players opportunities to play old genres and games while giving older players a chance to dive head first into nostalgia. 3D Realms was one of those premiere developers in the late 90s when Duke Nukem 3D came out some twenty-thre...[Read More]
Wolfenstein: Youngblood
Wolfenstein’s reboot by MachineGames several years ago has been a rousing success, reminding anyone that needed it that single player only FPS experiences are both desirable and profitable. Two full games have been released as well as the excellent standalone expansion The Old Blood. In the last couple of weeks, two new Wolfenstein experiences have been released, one is a VR-only title I hav...[Read More]
