Antstream Arcade Review (PC)
In a world filled with emulator-driven handhelds on Amazon.com, and endless amounts of Namco Museums since the 90s, it’s fascinating seeing those ideals collide on the PC with Antstream Arcade. The service is a cloud-based streaming service that allows you to play, save, and dive into a bevy of retro games. The service offers over 1300 games and does enough to make the experience worthwhile. Or at...[Read More]
The First Descendant Preview
A week or so ago, we were privy to an early preview of Nexon’s third-person action shooter called The First Descendant. While checking all the right boxes to ensure it’s a grab-a-gun-and-go experience, it goes far deeper than a game featuring a slew of guns and targets to go with them. Initial impressions of it put it somewhere between Anthem if it turned out to be good, and Destiny, where there i...[Read More]
Crossfire: Sierra Squad Review (PSVR2)
The virtual reality platform has seen its share of good games and bad. Some of those good games provided a profound experience that reminded people how wonderful VR can be. Iron Man VR showed us that we could take off with Tony Stark’s suit and fly high in the sky and become that superhero that we always wanted to be. Then there are games like Detached that showed us how to properly fall over in V...[Read More]

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Review
Now, that was a film to behold. I honestly didn’t expect to feel so much of this film and walk away wondering what the hell was going to happen next. I haven’t walked away from a film feeling this way since watching the ending of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. That ending created the feeling of unknown dread about how Luke was going to resolve his problems, save his buddy Han, and address hi...[Read More]
Jusant Preview (Xbox Series X)
I have very weak arms, but legit legs. It has been that way forever, and we’re talking about 40-plus years. While I will occasionally get baby-bulging triceps thanks to moving lights in class, for the most part, I’m noodle arms and unable to truly put them to good use. I know what you’re thinking, “Thanks for the update, Nathan. Did we really need that?” Nah, but it was a great introduction to my ...[Read More]
UFO: Unidentified Falling Objects Review
Puzzle games are like comedy, where planning requires meticulous care and know-how, while also remembering to make it fun and not torturous. If you haven’t guessed from that sentence, comedy is brutal to come up with. So are good puzzle games. Of course, some developers make it look very easy when they hide their complicated backbone of gameplay within a Baku-Baku-like chaotic wrapper that deliver...[Read More]
Star Trek Adventures: Captain’s Logo – Solo Roleplaying Game (Tabletop)
Occasionally, I break from playing video games and go back to some traditional forms of entertainment, mainly tabletop role-playing experiences. The tabletop review revolved around the Blade Runner universe. That DnD game provided more context and depth to the Blade Runner lore than any of the movies with the same name. It certainly helped me to visualize the full scope of what that universe had t...[Read More]
