If you’re a baseball fan like me, and in all honesty, I’m an on-and-off fan (thanks, Reds), you may want a bit more than the typical baseball video game can deliver. If you’re looking for excitement and play, then maybe MLB The Show 26 fits the bill. If you’re looking for something more? Well, you must be that type of person who plays fantasy baseball because the only ‘more’ available is through a...[Read More]
It has been a long time since I’ve partaken in a fighting game with a quest-based system beneath it. It has been a concept that needed to be dug back up and executed brilliantly for it to stick permanently. It’s a concept needed to expand the fighting genre and make it more than just a punch/kick experience. Fatal Fury: City of Wolves may have just moved the needle with this concept and how it wor...[Read More]
Have you ever wondered what a point and click game would look like if it was put in first-person? It would look exactly like Myst, which I had no idea was essentially a point and click puzzler until this very review. It was right there! I can’t believe I never noticed. God, I hope they do this with Monkey Island someday. Anyway, we’re not here for Myst or monkeys; rather, we are here to discuss Am...[Read More]
The more Blumhouse horror films I ingest, the more I believe they’re slowly becoming the Annapurna Interactive of horror films. Much like Annapurna, not all of what they make is gold, but the chances they take with new ways to tell horror are commendable at worst. Their latest digital release and chance taken is The Woman in the Yard, a story that digs up mystery, intensity, and a heavy amount of ...[Read More]
Sometimes I can be so late to the party that it’s embarrassing, especially when the party is damn good. And this is so damn good. Kemono Heroes, from developer Mad Gear Games and publisher JanduSoft, is an action beat ‘em up that, with its style, execution, and pazazz, harkens back to the grand old days of late 80s/early 90s arcade gaming. It was a simple and fun world before 3D came and ruined it...[Read More]
Lord, it has been a hot minute since I played a hero shooter. I’m pretty sure that Destiny 2 knocked that enjoyment out of me, which is sad because I always loved playing team-based PvP games that were fun and always felt fresh and accessible. There’s just something exciting about jumping into a scrum with teammates and taking down a team of other gamers. When done right and balanced, it’s a night...[Read More]
I cannot remember if I have played a game led by a rabbit before. Hmmm…I don’t think I ever played a Looney Tunes game. Nah. This is my first one. If you didn’t have enough rabbits, eggs, and attitudes from this past weekend, then you’re in for a treat with Nitro Plus’ Rusty Rabbit. This 2D platformer does its best to make a mean and machine-obsessed rabbit into an unlikely hero full of grit and m...[Read More]
Years ago, I was privy to an early copy of Limbo. It was a silent and mysterious game that based its entire gameplay concept off of not seeing the main character’s features and developing a creepy-ass story for their controllable silhouette. The game featured some unsettling moments, including a large spider-like creature trying to stab the main character along their journey, and also some melanch...[Read More]
Have you ever played a game and asked yourself at the end of the experience, “What in the hell did I just play?” while asking yourself, “Why was it fun?” That’s about where I am with developer Llamasoft’s I, Robot. Based on the 1984 classic arcade game from mastermind David Theurer, this new release encapsulates what made that early 3D polygon experience so mesmerizing, while simultaneously delive...[Read More]
