Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy Review (PS5)
My goodness, how long has it been since I played my last Ace Attorney game? I think the last one was The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures, which I know wasn’t a huge hit with fans of the series, but I thought it was interesting enough to fit just fine within the Ace Attorney family. Its departure from the present timeline and journey into the Ace Attorney past helped to keep the game a bit more inte...[Read More]
Resident Evil 4 – VR – Review (PSVR2)
It’s no great mystery that I enjoyed the absolute hell out of Resident Evil 4 when it came out earlier this year. It was remastered beautifully and was top-tier bourbon for survival horror fans who needed a fix. Everything about it was in line with the series’ later titles, while still maintaining the sacredness and scares that existed in the original GameCube game. Capcom promised to deliver a po...[Read More]
Exoprimal
What if I told you that Exoprimal took multiple hours and matches before growing into a more diverse game? Would you be less prone to play it? What if I told you that Exoprimal cost $60 dollars–unless you download it on Games Pass–and is a multiplayer only game currently featuring one mode? Would you not want to spend the money or hard drive space on it? What if I told you that I have ...[Read More]
Ghost Trick: The Phantom Detective Review
After having previewed the first few levels of Ghost Trick: The Phantom Detective a month or so ago, I walked away impressed thinking that the full version had plenty of potential. I’m happy to report that the full version is beyond what I expected. It’s far more challenging, logically unforgiving with its puzzle execution, and entertaining as hell with its serious, yet whack-a-doodle storyline. I...[Read More]
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective Preview
When you know, you know. That’s a phrase I used when I first took flight with Capcom’s Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective preview demo weeks ago. Why that phrase is important in this puzzle-driven adventure game about a deceased man playing detective to his own death is that every scrap and ounce of essence on this game smelled of Shu Takumi’s Ace Attorney. From the structure of the puzzles, all the w...[Read More]
Street Fighter 6
Crouching in the corner of the Amazon River Basin, Blanka furiously swiped at the oncoming threat. Whatever humanoid this was–be it Guile, Ken, or Ryu–would not break his resolve, regardless of the elegant combos inputted his way. This basic attack was crude, sloppy, and showed none of the finesse a proper Street Fighter should have. If he was lucky, Blanka would occasionally erupt in ...[Read More]

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection (Nintendo Switch)
The Mega Man Battle Network (MMBN) series is an interesting example of a spinoff series done right, albeit underestimated and woefully underrated for its time. Those of you familiar with the Mega Man series may be familiar with tight platforming as Mega Man, defeating difficult enemies with buster shots and dodging bullet hell patterns, and absorbing bosses’ signature abilities to take down ...[Read More]
Resident Evil 4 Remake Review
The word ‘remake’ is thrown around nowadays when video game companies want to assure you that they’ve taken a fan favorite of yesteryear and updated it enough to make it worth buying again. Occasionally, these remakes turn out to be wonderful. Typically, textures are added, some lighting is spruced up, and the publishers call it a day. I have seen the latter many times and it only stands to cheape...[Read More]
Resident Evil 4 – Sneak Peek
As remakes go, Capcom knows how to make them. They go above and beyond when it comes to actually remaking their early Resident Evil titles. When RE1-3 were remade, they truly remade them. They not only featured updated graphics, but they also included revised scenes, music, and dialogue. I think the overall consensus with their RE remakes is that they set the bar for other companies to follow suit...[Read More]
Monster Hunter Rise Review
While we’re all waiting for the Destiny 2: Lightfall drop in February, we must find something to do, right? We could platinum God of War: Ragnarök, but that might take forever. We could wait for an update for Witcher 3 on the PS5 to make the Ray Tracing Mode work, but who knows when that is dropping? There are a lot of different ways we could spend our time waiting for Destiny 2: Lightfall, but wh...[Read More]
