Lost in Random: The Eternal Die Review (Nintendo Switch 2)
The last week has been dedicated to revisiting older titles on new or existing platforms. This past weekend, I had fun revisiting the world of Final Fantasy XVI on the Xbox Series X, while throwing water on a weak argument aimed at the game’s resolution and performance. It was fun chastising those reading the review, and I will do it again if I must. Graphical arguments haven’t been relevant since...[Read More]

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Review (PS5)
It has been nearly six years since Sam Bridges crossed America to connect with people and make the nation whole again.

Well, Hideo Kojima is delivering the next chapter of Sam’s story with Kojima Productions’ Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. The game st...[Read More]
Dune: Awakening Review (PC)
My only long-term exposure to Dune and its lore was through a failed David Lynch film, an RTS from the 90s (so good), and the more recent films (long-winded, but worth it). I did try to read Frank Herbert’s novels, so that I could understand more context with each house and its underlying tone, but my lack of concentration and focus always led my brain astray. In short, everything I know about Dun...[Read More]

Disney Illusion Island starring Mickey & Friends Review (PS5)
I think the last time I enjoyed a Disney title was Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse on the Sega Genesis. That game was a visually entertaining and challenging adventure. It was one of the best titles on that system in 1990. I remember when EGM gave it huge marks. Deserved. Well, 35 years have passed since that platformer was released, and now, we have a new one called Disney Illusion Islan...[Read More]
