Nothing makes you feel older in life than looking at an ‘anniversary edition’ of a film you watched in the theater. It’s like listening to the radio and jamming out to 90s music, only to find out that you’re on the classic radio station. A little defeating in a sense, but still very enjoyable. Anyway, Paramount Pictures recently released Titanic – 25th Anniversary on 4KUHD, and I am very impressed...[Read More]
Real-time strategy games are delivered in a variety of flavors. They can range from uncomplicated masterpieces like the Command & Conquer series, though not all gems, that are easy to pick up and go, or they can be as in-depth as an Age of Empires that requires a bit more panache and patience. Regardless of complication or difficulty, there is something for everyone when it comes to playing an...[Read More]
I had no idea what I was getting into when I volunteered for a tribute for this one. Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince is a familiar slow burn that takes the structure of hunting Pokémon and applies it to the DQ world. While you might scoff at that notion and ask why it’s necessary for the series to go this Nintendo route, I present a counterargument – why not? Yeah, that was it. Dragon Quest...[Read More]

When I think of puzzle-strategy games, I think of a very dry experience that is void of narrative value. That might seem like a knock against those types of games, but they are what they are, and that isn’t a bad thing because most games make for an intellectually fun time. I like feeling smart and feeling accomplished, and those games help me from time to time. Now, HOWL from developer Mi’p...[Read More]
When you think of Square Enix, you often think of Final Fantasy XVI, Dragon Quest, and a bevy of classic role-playing games. They have a huge history of hits…and then they have little oddities that are satisfying and yet, kind of weird in concept. The latter of the bunch is where Little Goody Two Shoes falls. It’s a game that consists of RPG elements, a dating sim (to an extent), a horror-driven n...[Read More]
Publisher Atari and developer SneakyBox are bringing back a classic 80s Atari arcade gaming experience that quite frankly scared the ever-loving shit out of me as a kid, if not caused outright anxiety at the time. The game? Berserk. The point of the game is to infiltrate a dangerous robotic military compound and eliminate a bunch of enemies while avoiding the vicious Evil Otto, an indestructible k...[Read More]
Years ago, I was privy to experiencing the game The 7th Guest on my very early DOS computer with a new and shiny CD-ROM add-on. The game featured live video mixed with CGI environments and puzzles that told a creepy-ass story of a man who trapped kids and guests within his mansion. While the game was mostly just a puzzle-driven experience, the introduction to CD-ROM-based gaming created a new path...[Read More]
