So…this remastered business. Can we talk about it? When a game is remastered, it simply means that the game’s quality of life has been improved. A game being remade is certainly more profound (see Resident Evil 1-4 for details). Knowing the difference is essential to meeting one’s expectations of a game. And the expectations of the latest remastered game that was dropped on our Digitalchumps’ desk...[Read More]
I was never much of a simulator fan. Well, that’s not exactly true. I did love Jurassic Park, Genesis. That love revolved around building dinosaur enclosures, gathering huge crowds via helicopter, then nixing the helipads and dropping the fences. Sooo…I loved simulating the actual Jurassic Park film and book. The virtual dinosaurs and their bellies especially loved it. Anyway! Back to the point, s...[Read More]
The rebirth of Acclaim has brought back a resurgence of classic material and gameplay concepts. One such resurgence revolves around 8-bit experiences and basketball. It’s a perfect time for both. Basketball Classics from developer Namo Gamo is a tip of the hat to an 8-bit basketball time that gave birth to such classics as Double Dribble and Lakers vs. Celtics. The gameplay for both titles wasn’t ...[Read More]
Raw Fury is finding developers who are bringing unique experiences using old concepts. I can dig it. Old concepts that are updated to modern gameplay are always a huge plus. And today’s review features a game that has a lot of Dead Rising built into it and follows that old concept of point and shoot without much thought. Welcome to Last Man Sitting from developer DoubleMoose Games, where sitting o...[Read More]
It has been about a month since we previewed DAMON and Baby, and we are back with a review of the fully finished game. While not much has changed with DAMON and Baby, our attitude toward the gameplay has certainly shifted. The isometric Diablo-wannabe brings some imaginative characters, large-scale levels, and a solid story that pushes it all along. The controls, which we brought up in the preview...[Read More]
It’s that time of year again when college basketball begins to lose its madness, and the sounds of bats cracking and crowds cheering are moving in on its territory. Yep, it’s baseball season again, and let me just say, I am ready to be disappointed by my Cincinnati Reds for another 100+ games. Of course, in true Draft Day-like fashion, I am also ready to fantasize about the Reds going all 1990 aga...[Read More]
While most of the keyboards reviewed on Digitalchumps have been technical marvels and purposeful in their designed intentions, sometimes keyboard art hits our desk and overtakes functionality. This is the case with Epomaker’s Glyph keyboard. The Glyph keyboard is an artistic choice rather than a necessity. It is driven by being a talking point when people arrive in your office or home, rather than...[Read More]
There are so many feelings to unpack here. This game has triggered me into hating Dave & Buster’s all over again. I miss actual arcade games. I miss the 80s and 90s D&B. I’m old. That’s about all the unpacking I need to do. Anyway! The Coin Game from developer devotid and publisher Kwalee has brought back all these bitter feelings about Ye Olden Days. Back in my day, we had actual arcade g...[Read More]
When I am at the store looking at cheaper selections for bread, I can adjust to whatever is on sale. Ultimately, whatever bread I pick still tastes like bread, which is my goal. When looking at in-ear monitor solutions, I am a bit pickier, even when the price reaches triple digits. But sometimes this also means taking a hard look at something cheaper when it comes up. And it has come up. I have ha...[Read More]
Sometimes, having headphones that deliver some solid sound substance is an audio blessing. The HE400se Planar open-back headphones from HIFIMAN are a comfortable marvel to behold. Flat and stylish, the headphones are some of the best-looking, sounding, and feeling that I have had the pleasure of reviewing. There truly isn’t anything to complain about. Let’s get this review going. Design The design...[Read More]
