When I first had Zet Zillions drop on my desk I didn’t know what to think about it. The only roguelike deckbuilder I had really dug into prior to this experience was Balatro. I still can’t play that game because of how addictive it is and because I don’t have the time right now. Anyway, that was the last game of this type I played and it set the bar for how good a deckbuilder could truly be. Where...[Read More]
Everything that you have heard and read about this game is absolutely true. It’s another hit from publisher Annapurna Interactive, and a refreshing direction from Simogo, the company that brought you Sayonara Wild Hearts. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is a Twin Peaks-esque journey that is narratively and visually surrounded by oddity and mystery. It features some truly mind-bending puzzles that encou...[Read More]
I have some history with Pac-Man. More so than most gamers. I was five years old when the first Pac-Man arcade machine hit the U.S. shores and it certainly had me hooked as soon as I put my hands on its arcade joystick. Much like my attention, Pac-Man took the world by storm and hasn’t looked back since. Over the last 40 years and some change, publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment has made an absol...[Read More]
Let it be noted that my tennis gaming experience has been very limited to mainly Nintendo tennis games. Also, games that were on the Dreamcast.

Now, having said that I might be the perfect reviewer for TopSpin 2K25, as I’m coming into this review blind and inexperienced. Sometimes it’s good to see a game wi...[Read More]

The following are real quotes from our social media comments and our annual customer feedback survey: “A pack of &...[Read More]
Full disclosure, before this game arrived, I had no idea that Sand Land had been around so long. I didn’t know it was a manga, or it had a movie – I knew nothing. This had all been a mystery to me prior to this review. Now, having done extensive research on the story, I know that this is Akira Toriyama’s story and video game legacy. The Sand Land series was born from the mind of Toriyama and illus...[Read More]
For the past few weeks, Digitalchumps has been privy to a preview of Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, a new game coming from Simogo, the developers behind the wonderful Sayonara Wild Hearts, and ace publisher Annapurna Interactive, who can’t seem to do anything wrong.

Reviewing games is like playing a game of basketball against multiple teams. Every team isn’t going to be the same and you’re always going to shift your strategy and approach depending on the team. It’s what keeps reviewing fun and the video game industry continually interesting. When you’re reviewing a game like Call of Duty: It’s a New Year, you’re not going to take that same review structure an...[Read More]
