Returnal Review
I am not the type of person that enjoys torturous games like Dark Souls. I do respect them, so do not get me wrong there, but they are just fingernails on a chalkboard to me. I find that playing these games for hours only to progress an inch is not a good use of my time. If I want to be tortured, I’ll just go on a family vacation from Kentucky to Maryland with my five kids (see June for details). ...[Read More]
Fernando Tatis Jr. named cover athlete for MLB The Show 21
I can’t wait to see this game on the PS5. Until then, enjoy the news of Fernando. He is an impressive player. Nicknamed “El Niño” and known for his electric play, epic bat flips, swagger, and home runs; Fernando Tatis Jr. can now add MLB The Show cover star to his impressive resume. Even though 2020 had many bleak moments, Fernando’s on the field play was a bright spot and we couldn’t be mor...[Read More]
Demon’s Souls Review
FromSoftware tortured and entertained our souls on the PlayStation 3 with Demon’s Souls, a game presumed to be in the same universe as Dark Souls. The point of the game is to challenge players with impossibly difficult odds, strip away a large number of checkpoints, and get them to memorize and understand the scenarios they keep replaying over and over again. This game is a ghastly, yet beautiful ...[Read More]
PlayStation 5 Review
Mark Cerny’s presentation earlier in the year disappointed a lot of PlayStation fans. Not because it was bad or he wasn’t entertaining, rather he was just discussing the inner working of the PlayStation 5 architecture while not showing off games. I mean, why would he just show off hardware when he could be giving gamers a preview of the next generation first-party titles? Lots of skeptics wrote th...[Read More]

Horizon Zero Dawn (PC) Review
In 2017, with the support of Sony Interactive Entertainment, Guerrilla Games shed its Killzone labels and took a big chance on an open-world game that was led by a female hero. The latter of the bunch is a tough sell in the industry, which is sad. Maybe everyone will come around one day. Hopefully. Anyway, much like Aloy’s breaking barriers in the actual game, Guerrilla Games broke barriers and ma...[Read More]

MLB The Show 20
Year in and year out, the folks at San Diego Studios put out the best sports game to start a fresh year. I know that might seem like a ‘hot take’ (looking at you Alex Tudor) about sports, but it’s honest to God truth. They have a knack for refining a series, adding features that make sense, adjusting how the game works from the previous year, and then bumping up the visuals to put you there. There...[Read More]
Nioh 2
Just when you thought it might be safe to hack ’n slash your way through a game, we get the evil cousin of Dark Souls with Nioh 2. Nioh 2 is a fascinating action/RPG/torture device from Team Ninja, a developer known for epic series such as Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive. The game follows Japan in 1555 and throws into the mix a slew of mythical Japanese demons that are ravaging Japan as a whole. Th...[Read More]
Dreams
Well, welcome back, Media Molecule. We have missed you tremendously. It has been a few years since Media Molecule has brought out a creatively flavored game. My son and I have played Little Big Planet to death over the last few years and were hoping to see something from the developers again that would spark the creativity of its players and provide a sharable experience for years to come. As life...[Read More]
Patapon 2 – Remastered
I missed this when it came out on Sony’s doomed PSP, which, in its defense, was an amazing piece of technology that just couldn’t get itself going for whatever reason — probably Nintendo reasons. Anyway, Patapon 2 was developed by Pyramid back in the UMD days and has finally made its way to modern console with its PlayStation 4 debut. Patapon, as told by the almighty Wikipedia, consists of two wor...[Read More]
