Womier Keyboard – SK75 TMR Review
As you are aware, or maybe you’re not, I’m a huge keyboard fanatic and someone tough to please when it comes to the perfect keyboard experience. Raised on an IBM globe typewriter, properly computer keyboard assimilated through a Commodore 128, my keyboard preferences are precise as they are particular. My fav? Creamy keyboards that are adjustable every which way and seamlessly programmed through a...[Read More]
Bubsy In: The Purrfect Collection Review (PS5)
I love video game history and revisiting the past as much as I can. Hell, on my shelf in my office sits a 1970s home PONG machine that I break out and stream on Twitch when I have time (and the VCR passthrough). That said, sometimes games struggle to recapture their magic and the era they were born within. I’ve run into a few games like that in the past, where I can appreciate them on a history bu...[Read More]
Dragon Ball Genkishin Squadra Review (PS5)
It’s fair to say that I have dabbled in Dragon Ball Z during my lifetime. From watching the anime when it first hit these shores to withstanding a terrible movie translation that was questionable in so many ways, I know the material somewhat. What I can now add to that knowledge is that using DB to make a MOBA was a smart idea. Dragon Ball Genkishin Squadra, from developer Ganbarion and publisher ...[Read More]
Cronos: The New Dawn Review (PS5)
There’s nothing quite like a good survival horror game, especially this time of year when spooky season is on the uptick. There’s something fun about getting the crap scared out of you while struggling to stay alive in a light-limited environment. God, it’s good to be back with fall gaming horror romps. Anyway, the launching point of this good feeling is this review for Cronos: The New Dawn from d...[Read More]
Adventure of Samsara Review (PS5)
I have always been under the belief that games should be fun and not work. That is the main reason why I don’t play Dark Souls games. If I wanted to struggle or get a taste of real life, I would just not play games. Not making yourself miserable should always be your gaming goal. I’m going down this road with you because recently I played Adventure of Samsara from developer llex Games and publishe...[Read More]
Lost Soul Aside Review (PS5)
Do you ever look at a game and say to yourself, “I can see what they were going for, but they didn’t quite get there”? Well, this is one of those times. Lost Soul, Aside from developer UltiZeroGames and PlayStation Studios, had all the markings of something great, as it felt like a page taken from Final Fantasy, but it just couldn’t get there. While the characters in the game are compelling, the s...[Read More]
Helldivers II Review (Xbox Series X)
Over a year ago, I reviewed this game for the PlayStation 5. During that time, I felt like it was a bit repetitive, yet showed some moxie to become a competent and fun third-person shooter for friends with nothing to do on a Friday night. I wasn’t wrong. Now that Helldivers II has made its way to the Xbox Series X/S from the good folks at Arrowhead Game Studios, it’s still kicking on all cylinders...[Read More]
Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots Review (PS5)
I did a head-first dive into Everybody’s Golf when it emerged on the PlayStation 4. The amount of time and effort I put into that game was ridiculous. It rivaled my hours with The Binding of Isaac, hitting the 300-hour mark purely out of stupid fun. And, no, that didn’t count the review hours, which would have put it in the 400 range. Now that I have no time to spare, developer Hyde has released a...[Read More]
March of Giants Preview (PC)
My MOBA experience started with the Guardians of Middle-earth on the PlayStation 3 and ended with League of Legends. Between the two, there were fewer sweaty players on Guardians of Middle-earth, which meant a bit more balance between competitors. I certainly never felt like I was behind in the game; rather, I always felt like I was getting better. It was one of the best MOBA experiences I had rev...[Read More]
Elgato 4K S Review
Back in the day, when streaming was a wee lad and Twitch was just breaking in its teeth, ready to dig into the industry, I had the pleasure of owning an Elgato HD. It was a magnificent capture device, as it allowed me to stream a 1974 PONG home machine on Twitch, while seamlessly allowing footage capture that I could edit later. It was a marvel, a piece of tech ahead of its time, and all while bei...[Read More]
Chip ‘n Clawz vs. The Brainioids Review (PS5)
Give me some action. Give me some strategy. And give me a cat brandishing weapons. That is all I ask of life at this moment. And unlike the time when I asked for a million dollars from life, this time, life has delivered. Chip ‘n Clawz vs. The Brainioids, from developer Snapshot Games and publisher Arc Games, was released this week, and it’s a bunch of fun. It’s an action-driven game with a real-t...[Read More]
Space Adventure Cobra – The Awakening Review (PS5)
You know you’re old when you recognize a 1982 anime that was featured in a 1991 Matthew Sweet music video. Yes, I’ve seen that anime prior to that music video. I’ve lived them both. I lived through the late 1900s. I’m so old. Anyway, while Matthew Sweet didn’t make it into Space Adventure Cobra – The Awakening from developer Magic Pockets and publisher Microids, it still brought some good beats, f...[Read More]
