Atari 50 – The NAMCO Legendary Pack DLC Review (PS5)

The video game history-loving side of me is thrilled that Atari is continuing its expansion of the Atari 50 series. To date, it has hit all the right notes when it comes to providing background information about the games I grew up with in the ’80s and, sadly, the ‘90s. It has delivered on its promises, even when the games and systems were rubbish. What’s not rubbish is the latest DLC releas...[Read More]

The Jackbox Party Pack 11 Review (PlayStation 5)

For the last few releases, it seems like Jackbox has had an uphill battle to find a fresh set of games that stick. For me, I thought Jackbox Party Pack 7 was the last great pack released. It felt like it had everything I wanted and a bit more,  as I still play that party pack occasionally with the fam and at work.  You gotta have fun during work, right? Totally right. Anyway, my point with this ra...[Read More]

Spindle Review (Nintendo Switch 2)

You can call me old if you want, but this is my jam for action-RPG-style games. Spindle from developer Let’s GameDev and publisher Deck 13 was released a few weeks ago on the Nintendo Switch, and I was assured that this was a Zelda-esque type of experience. That is a tall order to meet, considering the epic-ness of that classic franchise. What came out of that experience was exactly what was assur...[Read More]

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]

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]
