Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics Review (PS5)
Oh, boy. This is a blast from the past. It was the summer of 1998 (maybe 1999, tough to say – I’m old), and I remember working at Waldensoftware in Fayette Mall in Lexington, Kentucky. Someone had decided that they were going to turn in their Sega Saturn and trade in the import Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter. I had a cartridge for my Saturn that would allow me to play imports, because that...[Read More]
SNK vs. Capcom – SvC Chaos Review (PS5)
My fighting game experience stretches back to the first Street Fighter game with punching pads for buttons. Outside of a badly designed cabinet that made you work, it was also a spark of an idea of what the franchise would eventually turn into in the next iteration. And in case you don’t know, Street Fighter II was an absolute hit in the arcades. Thankfully, Capcom lost the punching pads. Street ...[Read More]

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of The Goddess Review
Were you ever good at Desktop Tower Defense? I certainly wasn’t. But that didn’t stop me from soaking up hours of it on Kongregate or whatever Flash game website at the time. The tower defense zeitgeist at the time seemed to revolve around that dumb, simple game and rather than be on my PlayStation 3 I was probably idling away on it between Tumblr refreshes and browsing mp3 download si...[Read More]

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]
