ROBOBEAT (PC) Review
Several weeks ago, I had the pleasure of previewing ROBOBEAT, which was in Early Access at the time. Despite being in Early Access, ROBOBEAT felt nearly complete barring some information-presentation issues that I hoped would be corrected for the final release. The few hours I spent in-game were full of high-octane shooting to the beat of the song that was currently playing. Of course, there were ...[Read More]
Roboquest Review (PC)
Some days you just need a bit of run and gun in your video game world. Well, RyseUp Studios certainly delivers with Roboquest, a smoothly built game that puts your patience and strategic movements to the test against aggressive robots. Whether you’re playing single-player or co-op, this Borderlands-look-a-like puts you in the mood to target, fire, and destroy. Not a bad way to spend Thanksgiving i...[Read More]
Twisted Tower Preview (PC)
When I saw BioShock in action way back in the day, the first time one of the creatures tried to break into the elevator and set the tone of terror for what I was going to experience in an underwater broken world of warped creatures, I knew it was going to be something special. The same with Resident Evil 4, where I saw a sneak peek at CES before the GameCube launch and saw how Capcom brought a new...[Read More]
The First Descendant Preview
A week or so ago, we were privy to an early preview of Nexon’s third-person action shooter called The First Descendant. While checking all the right boxes to ensure it’s a grab-a-gun-and-go experience, it goes far deeper than a game featuring a slew of guns and targets to go with them. Initial impressions of it put it somewhere between Anthem if it turned out to be good, and Destiny, where there i...[Read More]
Crossfire: Sierra Squad Review (PSVR2)
The virtual reality platform has seen its share of good games and bad. Some of those good games provided a profound experience that reminded people how wonderful VR can be. Iron Man VR showed us that we could take off with Tony Stark’s suit and fly high in the sky and become that superhero that we always wanted to be. Then there are games like Detached that showed us how to properly fall over in V...[Read More]
Quantum: Recharged Review
The days of taking dollars from my dad, putting them in a quarter machine, and then living the dream of spending hours upon hours playing short arcade experiences might be long gone, but games like Quantum: Recharged from developer SneakyBox are keeping the memories alive. Quantum: Recharged is a reimagined 1982 arcade classic called Quantum that borrows the concept of creating connections by form...[Read More]

Moo Lander Review
Outside of a chicken sandwich chain, if you put cows in your product, I’m game. Moo Lander from developers The Sixth Hammer is an addictive shooter with RPG elements (go figure), where you play as an alien on the hunt for…cows. The concept is out there, as is the mixture between puzzle, shooter, and RPG, but much like putting ice in milk, it’s a great combination. Let’s milk this review. Story and...[Read More]
Blast Brigade vs. the Evil Legion of Dr. Cread Preview
We were privy to a demo of Blast Brigade, a game developed by Allods Team Arcade, that is a platform arcade shooter experience with a pinch of LucasArts personality to make it fun and not too serious. You’ll appreciate the latter, as the game can be difficult at times (LucasArts). Let’s get right into this preview! Typical The story for Blast Brigade is nothing too special. It’s a mixture of Expen...[Read More]
Aliens: Fireteam Elite Review
We enter through a decrepit blast door, taking in the scene around us. It’s quiet, not a soul in sight. We push forward through the grime-laden hallways that once housed the hopeful and hopeless alike—colonists. We know the foe that awaits us around the corner, the evil that will almost assuredly end our lives, but that’s why we’re there. We’re there to kick their ass. Further down the hallway, an...[Read More]
