Two Point Museum Review (Nintendo Switch 2)

I know I have brought this up in intros for several reviews, but I must do it once again…I think I’m getting old. Why? Well, I’m enjoying more cozy games and simulators, two genres I actively avoided in my younger years. I’m sure we could spend all day digging up research and trying to figure out why this change occurred, but I’m just going to go with ‘getting old. ’ Anyway, another simulator cros...[Read More]

Bounty Star Review (PlayStation 5)

I had no idea that I would be digging up some Mechwarrior vibes from the 90s with a game, but here we are with Bounty Star. Developer DINOGOD and publisher Annapurna Interactive released Bounty Star a couple of weeks back and brought with it some good and bad gameplay elements, with the former outweighing the latter. The good elements start with the story and creating a deep and rewarding world le...[Read More]

Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake Review (PS5)

It’s good to see a company treat an old IP like a new one, and with so much care. This past week, ARTDINK and Square Enix released Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake for consoles, and I tell you, folks, this is one gorgeous and fun set of games. Improved in this remake are the graphics, which set a new standard for how 2D isometric games should look, as well as quality-of-life features that shou...[Read More]

Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection Review (PS5)

It was a brisk winter of 1992, and my friend Jason took me to see a new game at Aladdin’s Castle that he promised would change my point of view on fighting games. Having been a Street Fighter II champ (in my head) for years, I was skeptical of his obnoxious claim. Sadly, and also delightfully, Jason was right. Mortal Kombat introduced the world to a new level of fighting that went well beyond the ...[Read More]

Space Chef Review (PS5)

As I grow older, I’m warming up to cozy games and their slow-moving, methodical gameplay. Coming and going from games is starting to feel very comfortable. And I’m comfortable with this game right now. Space Chef from developer Blue Goo Games and publisher Kwalee Ltd is an interesting cozy game that puts the player in space and makes meals for everyone in their galaxy. The game offers a deep strat...[Read More]

Plants vs. Zombies Replanted Review (PS5)

I am torn on this review, and not for the reasons you might think. Plants vs Zombies Replanted, from developer PopCap and publisher Electronic Arts, hit virtual stores on consoles last week and brought with it a complete package of fun. Local co-op, dozens of mini-games and puzzles, and the same insane fun that the original went wild with on PC, Mac, and mobile so long ago. While touted as a remas...[Read More]

A Nightmare on Elm Street: 7-Film Collection Review (4K UHD)

It’s spooky time, and that means it’s time for spooky movies. Sure, you could go with ‘Weapons,’ a fine modern film that is a slow build but has a good payoff. You could consider exploring The Thing, a John Carpenter classic that features a satisfying ending.  But wouldn’t you rather go old school and watch seven movies that prove that quantity and quality are two very separate things?...[Read More]
