Fallout TV Series Review (Streaming)
Video game to screen is a big deal now. With the success of films like Sonic the Hedgehog (1 and 2) and television shows like HBO’s The Last of Us, the production world is starting to realize that the biggest entertainment industry might have some stories to tell. It’s a sentiment that I have been crowing about for years. I mean, the good stories are laid out in video game format with character de...[Read More]

Lisa Frankenstein Review (Digital)
I like a good movie that doesn’t take itself too seriously. In the 80s, I lived off the likes of Volunteers and Better Off Dead, mainly for the goofy nature of the films. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with good old-fashioned dumb fun. It’s what the 80s thrived on until it approached the 90s. Now, I mention this because that is what Lisa Frankenstein aspired to be. It borrowed a heavy amount of ...[Read More]
Verne: The Shape of Fantasy Review (PC)
Something is interesting about a point-and-click adventure that has a strong LucasArts 90s vibe to it. There’s nothing quite like that era of gaming, where good stories and puzzles led over graphical prowess. That gameplay formula generally meant a good time. See games like The Dig and The Secret of Monkey Island for details. I mention all the above because developer Gametopia has thrown its old-s...[Read More]
MLB The Show 24 Review (PS5)
Is anyone really surprised by MLB The Show and how it paves the way for bringing meaningful content every year and trying out new modes that are actually worthwhile? I’ve stopped waiting for the other shoe to drop with this series, as every year they have managed to meet expectations and make each game in the series more than just a roster upgrade. Seriously, Electronic Arts, you need to take a lo...[Read More]
Predecessor Preview (PC)
Digitalchumps had the opportunity to sit down with Omeda Studios CEO Robbie Singh this past week and play through a few sessions of their upcoming MOBA Predecessor, and Omeda’s CEO is no stranger to the genre. Singh’s past lies with being a content creator for Epic Games’s long-since-gone Paragon. If you’re not familiar with the game, it was a long-lost MOBA with the promise of third-person gamepl...[Read More]
Open Roads Review (PC)
When I saw Open Roads a month and some change ago, I honestly wasn’t too sure about it. The devs were banking on a good story and great acting but didn’t show much interactivity during the presentation. The hands-off preview was just a taste of what was to come, but it was obvious from the get-go that narrative and acting were leading the way with interactivity taking a firm backseat. Now, the lac...[Read More]
Highwater Review (PS5)
Annapurna Interactive has set a standard where a good story sometimes trumps intricate and detailed gameplay. And I will always say that a prioritized story is what makes a game memorable. Sometimes a great story can make up for gameplay shortcomings. We’ll definitely revisit this in future reviews. Now, developer Demagog Studio and publisher Rogue Games, Inc. have taken that structure that makes ...[Read More]
