Carmen Sandiego Review (PS5)
When I was in 10th grade, my life was full of misery thanks to a nasty divorce, and I desperately needed something every morning to take my mind off my life. My high school had just the remedy with computer games. While Bryan Station High School in Lexington, Kentucky couldn’t afford more than a room full of 286 machines, which ran dual-disk drives, one for the operating system and one for the sof...[Read More]
Knights in Tight Spaces Review (PC)
A few turn-based card games have captured my attention and kept it. Inscryption was one of these games, as the terror and strategy made for a good time. Another game was Hearthstone for ‘don’t need to tell you’ reasons. You can now put Knights in Tight Spaces on that list. I just kicked my Balatro addiction, I certainly didn’t need a new one. BUT HERE WE ARE. Knights in Tight Spaces from developer...[Read More]
Metal Suits: Counter Attack Review (PC)
I love ridiculous plots and good gameplay. When you can create that type of duo for a game, then you’re in for a treat. And this game, dear readers, is a treat. Metal Suits: Counter Attack from developer Eggtart is a side-scrolling, 2D platformer that is packed with action and all of it is driven by a variety of suits. The game is fast, furious, and a low-grade difficulty Mega Man. Packed with int...[Read More]

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Review (PC)
WAYYYYYY back in 2023, Insomniac Games and Sony Interactive Entertainment released Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, a sequel to the 2018 hit, and it was a resounding success. Ben Sheene had the pleasure of reviewing it and declared it a perfect 10, a declaration I can stand behind. Following on the coattails of the Miles Morales game (which I thought was better than the first Spidey – fight me for it), Spi...[Read More]
Synduality: Echo of Ada Review (PS5)
I’m a sucker for games that involve exploring, shooting, collecting, and repeating. It’s the reason I stayed with Destiny so long, even though it has become very unplayable as of late. So unplayable. Anyway, I bumped into another game of the Destiny type called Synduality: Echo of Ada from developer Game Studio Inc. and publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment. The game has all the above attributes th...[Read More]

Laika: Aged Through Blood Review (Nintendo Switch)
There is something beautiful about a tragic story that hits home accompanied by easy gameplay to make it all work. This was the scenario with The Binding of Isaac, a game that brought some of the darkest dungeons of thought regarding abuse and abandonment while pairing the narrative with an endless Legend of Zelda dungeon fight. That was and is still one of my favorite dark experiences in gaming. ...[Read More]
Taito Milestones 3 Review (Nintendo Switch)
Want me to review a game? Simply say it is filled full of arcade classics and my internal child will activate. I’ll be back in the Gold Mine arcade in Atlanta, Georgia, where some of the best video game memories were made. I’ll feel right at home. That activated feeling is back! Thanks to ININ Games Taito Milestones 3, which takes a bunch of Taito arcade titles, some good, some bad, and brings the...[Read More]
Doom: The Dark Ages – Preview
I’m old. How old? I remember when Wolfenstein and Doom launched. The first ran very well on my 486 computer, while the other couldn’t reach its potential until the Intel Pentium II arrived. Regardless of hardware, they were a sight to behold. Controlling a first-person shooter in a 3D environment was such an exciting bit of gameplay. With Wolfenstein, taking out nazis with insanely built weaponry,...[Read More]
Transformers One Review (4KUHD)
When Transformers: The Movie arrived in the late 80s, it was something to behold. It was Orson Welles’ last performance, as he voiced over the vicious and uncaring planet devourer Unicron. It featured the death of a beloved character, which broke the hearts of thousands of fans. It also featured the first time the word ‘sh*t’ had been uttered by a main character in the series, a word that was late...[Read More]
Snow Bros. Wonderland Review (PS5)
The best thing about reviewing games is seeing something that you didn’t expect. My last great unexpected funfest was Simogo’s Sayonara Wild Hearts, a game that was on rails, beautifully written, executed, and accompanied by one of the best video game soundtracks I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying. I still play that once a year. It has been out since 2019. Having an unexpected game surprise me is a...[Read More]
