Basketball Classics Review (PS5)
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]
Last Man Sitting Review (PC)
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]
DAMON and Baby Review (PC)
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]
MLB The Show 26 Review (PS5)
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]
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Review (PC)
It has been nearly a year since I wrote what I consider to be one super-informative and well-respected review for Death Stranding 2. Okay, only one of those is true. You can guess. Anyway! I am back again, thanks to Death Stranding finding its way to the PC this past Friday. While my opinion of the game hasn’t waivered one bit, the experience has improved thanks to powerful PC capabilities. And th...[Read More]
Epomaker Glyph Keyboard Review (PC)
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]
The Coin Game
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]
KIWI Ears – Cadenza IEMs Review
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]
HIFIMAN HE400se Review
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]
HIFIMAN HE-R9 Headphones Review
And the sounds keep on coming. The HE-R9 Headphones from HIFIMAN are the latest headphones that have crossed the Digitalchumps desk. These closed-in, dynamic headphones featuring 35khz frequency-response are artsy, comfortable, and hit the right spot when needing a clear catch system for audio. While the artsy side of the HE-R9 Headphones might be a bit much for some, the overall performance is qu...[Read More]
Resident Evil Requiem Review (PS5)
Picture this. You’re 20 years old, going to college, and working at Waldensoftware in Fayette Mall (Lexington, Kentucky). A shipment of PlayStation games comes in with something called Resident Evil. You and your co-workers can’t stop laughing at the goofy opening, where a very mousse-haired man is running and shooting at dogs that aren’t real. And you think to yourself, “Who would ever buy this g...[Read More]
ChromaGun 2 Dye Hard Review (PC)
It has been a while since a game challenged me. I think the last game that drove me nuts with puzzles was probably Portal. And let me just say, how very appropriate to start the review this way. ChromaGun 2 Dye Hard, from the developer Pixel Maniacs and publisher PM Studios, is a puzzle game that mimics the likeness of Valve’s sci-fi puzzle first-shooter, while also throwing in some clever antics ...[Read More]
