Shin Chan: Shiro and the Coal Town Review (PC)
One of the toughest parts of parenting in a video game-driven family is figuring out what exactly is age-appropriate content for your kids. Giving them content that has themes of violence and mayhem, like Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim might prompt some questions and cause undue stress for a young gamer. Giving them something like Tetris might bore the tears out of them (no, seriously), as kids these day...[Read More]
Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered Review (PS5)
There are a few games that I enjoy going back to regularly and playing through. Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is one, as I love spending a December being a whack-a-doodle around that landscape. There is something very wintry about its snowy, dangerous environments. Reminds me of Christmas. With magic. The other big one is Horizon Zero Dawn, a game that connected with me the first time around during the ...[Read More]
Fear the Spotlight Review (PS5)
When the spooky season arrives each year, I forget how much fun it is playing creepy, suspense-filled horror games that add to the ambiance of the season. The safe bets are usually Resident Evil titles or maybe even Phasmophobia. This year, there has been a large influx of creepy games hitting the digital shelves, which makes the choice of scary-time gaming a bit harder to choose from. One such g...[Read More]
RetroRealms – Halloween and Ash vs. Evil Dead Review (Xbox Series X)
There was some charm that existed within 16-bit side scrollers. These types of games were very identifiable to the 90s gaming era and usually drove both the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo systems. Both systems were built on a high-quality 2D experience that drove gamers and profits, and which caused the great video game war of the ’90s to reach its zenith. Having been a huge gamer from the ...[Read More]
Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven Review (PS5)
Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven has gone through several iterations over the years. It started its journey on the Super Famicom in 1993, where it had some success before moving to mobile in 2010. It also made pitstops on Android and iOS devices in 2016, the PlayStation Vita in the same year, and finally settling into the last generation on almost everything—lots of pitstops. And there is go...[Read More]
Unknown 9: Awakening Review (PS5)
In a world with Call of Duty and Spider-Men, where sequels reign supreme, an injection of creativity and newness is sometimes necessary. I love it when developers and publishers invest in new ideas, and even more so when those ideas pan out to something no one knew they needed. Those are good times. I believe that Unknown 9: Awakening from developer Reflector Entertainment Ltd. and publisher Banda...[Read More]
New World: Aeternum Review (PS5)
New World: Aeternum has arrived on the PlayStation 5 and the conversion from Windows to console wasn’t jarring. I thought there would be controls lost in translation somewhere along the way, but they weren’t. I thought there would be a steep drop-off of graphics from the PC version, but there wasn’t. This game actually might have improved a little from PC to console, more about controls than anyth...[Read More]
Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero Review (PS5)
What in the bloody hell do you think you’re doing, Spike Chunsoft and Bandai Namco? You can’t just go into a fighting genre, change up how they work, and then go about your normal business. You can’t. Yet, you did. Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero changed two things upon its release. First, it changes expectations of how anime games look, feel, and work. As my oldest (age 22) put it, “This might be the...[Read More]
