Thy Creature Review
Good gravy! This is one bullet hell of a game. While I have certainly seen worse in some side-scrolling shooters from Japan, Thy Creature is nonetheless a pain in the ass in a different way (and purposely so). It’s got a good mixture of a creepy story, some minor puzzle solving, and a heavy amount of pick the right strategy as enemies rain bullets down on you in a patterned fashion. It’s a lot, bu...[Read More]
Spider-Man: Miles Morales (PC) Review
Sony is on a roll with putting some of its hottest PlayStation titles onto PC, though I’m still waiting for a glimmer of hope for Ghost of Tsushima to materialize soon. Anyway, this time around they have brought their strongest PlayStation 5 launch title with Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Packed with presentation settings that will make the PS5 version pale in comparison, the PC game still brings the...[Read More]
Sonic Frontiers Review
Before we get started, you all should know that I have been an avid SEGA and Sonic fan since the late 80s (SEGA) and early 90s (Sonic). I have shared many cool moments with Sonic, he unknowingly got the 16-year-old version of me through a parental divorce with Sonic 2, and I was there when Sonic went 3D on the Dreamcast. In other words, SEGA and Sonic have a history with me, and mostly a pleasant ...[Read More]
Atari 50: Anniversary Celebration Review
A bar has been set. I’m not sure I can review another Bandai Namco Entertainment of America Museum game without it matching the art, the honesty, and the design that went into making Atari 50. As someone who teaches video game history for a living as a professor, I can without a doubt say that this treats Atari’s history right and truthful while offering up wonderful video game memories you can pl...[Read More]
Return to Monkey Island Review
The Secret of Monkey Island is the second game from LucasFilm Games (formerly LucasArts that was formerly LucasFilm Games) that I experienced back in 1990. The first was Maniac Mansion, an experiment of branching narratives and the birth of point-and-click adventures. By the time the developers at LucasFilm Games arrived with The Secret of Monkey Island, they had not only perfected the SCUMM Engin...[Read More]
Ghost Song Review
Developer Old Moon understood what it wanted to do when it put together its 2D adventure Ghost Song. It is a focused effort in creating a game that puts players to the test with clever puzzles and a heavy-hearted storyline, while at the same time giving an honorable nod to Nintendo’s Super Metroid in structure, difficulty, entertainment, and creativity. While it lives in the shadow of Nintendo’s p...[Read More]
Catan: Dawn of Humankind Review
Catan is one of the greatest tabletop games of all time. I’m not going to beat around the bush on that statement, as it is true as climate change (don’t argue – we don’t have a comment section – lol). Anyway, the original game has gone through various iterations. There have been sea expansions, two-player versions, and gigantic-expensive-still-cool editions. It has grown and survived the test of t...[Read More]
