Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes – Definitive Edition Review

It has been a long time since I have been so definitively frustrated with a game and its mechanics. I honestly cannot remember the last game where I walked away yelling, “FINE! Be that way” and never returned to it again. It takes a lot to get me there, but here we are right now. While I certainly appreciate the thought and dedication that went into creating Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes – De...[Read More]

Hawked – Hands-on Preview

Competitive gaming is becoming more and more popular as the years go by. As games like Fortnite have proven time and time again, there is a firm place for that genre and, if the games are good, could mean lucrative longevity for those game companies that do it right. And, as we all know, Epic Games has certainly done it right with its flagship title and has made millions over the years as a result...[Read More]

Mr. Run and Jump Review

There’s something special about the good old Atari 2600 days, where simplicity was a needed element for new video game players to get into the groove of a budding industry. Having lived through the 80s, simple games made room for big imaginations and good times.  That’s the best way to describe how almost every game on the Atari 2600 was built. It relied less on tech and more on gamers to fil...[Read More]

Amazing

LISA: Definitive Edition Review

Good gravy. I am not sure I have ever played a game like LISA: Definitive Edition. It’s sadistic, warped, contains disturbing content that is certainly not suitable for children, and it gets you in the feels in every direction. Picture playing Binding of Isaac and then make it about ten times darker than it is currently. Yep. You’re there. I’m going to stop the usual introduction and just get righ...[Read More]

The Crew Motorfest – Hands-on Preview

While I’m not the biggest hardcore fan of car titles, like our wonderful car guru Ben Branscum, I tend to enjoy arcade-type driving experiences. That little passion began years ago with Atari’s Hard Drivin’ and has continued for nearly 30+ years. I like short stints of wild car rides, short-term fun racing goals, and the occasional intense PvE race to fulfill my emotional car driving needs. I’ve n...[Read More]

Let’s! Revolution! Review

Sometimes having a simple structure to your game does wonders for the experience. Case in point, Ring of Pain is a simple card game where you only worry about 5-6 controllable player stats and how to improve those to better take on enemies. It’s a game of choices but nothing skillfully driven beyond making those choices. Why can’t it be skillful? Well, it’s a game where the dungeon of cards change...[Read More]

Enshrouded Preview

I have been steadily and thankfully avoiding the addiction that is Minecraft for pretty much my entire adulthood. Since its birth back in 2011, the ugly interface and bland creative building aspect have always been a huge turn-off for me when it comes to gaming experiences. I’m not sure why, but it reminds me of LEGOs without personality. Now, having ranted that out of my system, I fully realize m...[Read More]

King Arthur: Legends Rise Preview

Mobile gaming is hit or miss with me, with the latter being the most likely outcome when it comes to my gaming entertainment experience. Being that I’m pushing towards the age of 50, gaming experiences must be meaningful, deep, and offer a good payoff by the end, as I don’t want to waste my time with them otherwise. I know that sounds trite and superficial, but it’s my opinion of mobile gaming. Th...[Read More]

GYLT Review

There are some games out there that are easy-breezy to get through. One such game is Sayonara Wild Hearts, where you start low in a deep depression, and end up pulling yourself up and together. The quick gameplay and gorgeous music make it an easily replayable game that might start as a tough pill to swallow but eventually will go down like a spoon of sugar. And then are games like GYLT. GYLT is a...[Read More]
