Epomaker Galaxy100 Mechanical Keyboard Review
Far too much of the prebuilt mechanical keyboard market is comprised of 75% or smaller layouts. I get it, though – larger (read: 98% or more) layout keyboards are more expensive to manufacture. They’re bulky. They take up too much space on one’s desk. Number pads and function rows can be niche use cases, sure. Sometimes you need a full-sized keyboard to mirror the standard full-size membrane keybo...[Read More]
Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S (Nintendo Switch 2) Review
Tetris is a simple game. So is Puyo Puyo. These strategy games are simply engaging in that they hit that sweet spot of arcade strategy without overly complex mechanics, rulesets, and/or silliness. It’s part of why these games have stood the test of time and have a core fanbase of players worldwide. Imagine if these games collided to feature gameplay from both while also iterating on the simple str...[Read More]
Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut (Nintendo Switch 2) Review
Back when I reviewed Yakuza Kiwami on the Nintendo Switch, I was enamored by Ryu Ga Gotoku’s (RGG’s) successful attempt in porting many Yakuza players’ first favorite game of the series. It ran great, barring a few hiccups and graphical differences between the port and other versions. The one thing on my mind as I was playing and writing (of course) was…what does the future of Yakuza look like for...[Read More]

Street Fighter 6 (Nintendo Switch 2) Review
It’s been two years since Street Fighter 6 launched on the PS5, XBOX, and PC, knocking out players’ expectations by solidly delivering an accessible fighting game experience for anyone. As some competitors like Mortal Kombat 1 and Guilty Gear -Strive- have released for the Nintendo Switch with varying degrees of success, Street Fighter 6 has been noticeably absent from Nintendo’s hardware lineup… ...[Read More]
Sonic X Shadow Generations (Nintendo Switch 2) Review
Yes, Sonic X Shadow Generations came out in October 2024. Yes, Sonic X Shadow is great to play on my PS5. But, now that the Switch 2 is out, the game is now available on our new consoles. How does it hold up as a launch title? Should you opt to get it on your existing next-gen (think PS5/XB) console instead? Returning to Sonic X Generations on the Nintendo Switch 2 has been a trip. I say this not ...[Read More]
Riftbound First Impressions, Part II (Chumps Preview)
The cat’s out of the bag; I can talk a little more freely about my experience visiting Riot Games’ campus a few weeks ago and learning about their upcoming trading card game (TCG), Riftbound. The Riftbound Summit was a whirlwind of a day to the point where when I reflect back, I still can’t believe Riot showed so much to us while giving us some time to play all in a single day! I know I’m supposed...[Read More]

Dragon is Dead (PC) Review
I’ve now spent 13 hours playing Dragon is Dead. Most of that time was spent dying over, over, and over again to gorgeously hideous bosses, some of that time theorycrafting optimal skill trees to get me one room farther. The roguelike gameplay loop of “one more run” fueled me to play well into the night, at my own expense, even though I wasn’t “winning” in the traditional sense. I know full well th...[Read More]
Linsoul ZiiGaat Arcanis IEM Review
Back when I reviewed the Linsoul ZiiGaat Lush IEMs, I found myself wanting something…just a bit more. The pair of IEMs made most, if not all, music sound great, but I wanted my music to feel more lively, more punchy…more real. This is not a knock against the pair of IEMs – this is a reminder that a pair of IEMs that have been tuned to a neutral profile will be middle of the road. Then, I put on th...[Read More]
