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]

Amazing

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.

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]

Oxenfree II: Lost Signals Review

Back in 2016, Night School Studio released Oxenfree which ended up being one of the most surprisingly entertaining games of that year. The game featured a creepy, unsettling island world populated by irresponsible teenagers who didn’t know what they were meddling with until it was too late. Every ounce of the game oozed mystery, horror, and branching narrative choices with consequential impact. Al...[Read More]
