Erica

I won’t lie to you, dear readers. When I received the email from our senior editor Steven McGehee saying we received an Erica code, I was giddy as a kid in a candy store. Why? Well, because I have toted the idea that full-motion video games could be incredibly entertaining, complicated, and meaningful for the better part of 30 years. Ever since I first laid eyes on Dragon’s Lair in 1983 at my loca...[Read More]

MLB The Show 19

When basketball season is winding down, there’s only one place to turn for a gaming fix — baseball. Growing up a Cincinnati Reds fan, and not tasting a championship since 1990, I have come to realize that my best chance to see the Reds actually have success is through MLB The Show, and 19 doesn’t disappoint in keeping my Cincinnati dreams alive. Quite frankly, this has been the best baseball serie...[Read More]

Knowledge is Power – Decades

Wish Studios has brought out another edition of their Knowledge is Power game that they introduced to the PlayLink family less than a year ago. If you’re not familiar with the series, it’s an obnoxious game show format, where players answer trivia via their phones from the comfort of their living room. It can have up to four people at a time playing, and it’s a different take on what is esse...[Read More]

Chimparty

NapNok’s Chimparty has made it to the PlayLink family and with it the first installment of a Mario Party-esque gaming experience. Is it as good as Mario Party? It’s tough to live in that shadow of greatness, but Chimparty does enough to create a quick party gaming experience that is fun for anyone with a phone. Without anymore monkeying around, let’s dig right into it. Tell me if you heard this on...[Read More]

God of War gets a price drop, funny a** video as well

God of War

Thirteen years since the original, and five years since the most recent in the series, God of War finally returns to PlayStation next week. Santa Monica Studios has been hard at work during this time making not just a sequel, but taking the acclaimed franchise in a robust new direction that, in a word, stuns. God of War combines the best of what the series has been known for and seamlessly mixes i...[Read More]

MLB The Show 18

With the end of basketball season in sight, the natural progression of sports focus drops on baseball to save our sports senses (because golf ain’t gonna do it). As it does year-to-year, Sony Interact Entertainment and San Diego Studio have released their MLB baseball game. Right on cue, MLB The Show 18 has gotten progressively better from its predecessor in terms of playability, visuals and modes...[Read More]

Frantics

I’m so happy that Sony isn’t letting go of the PlayLink idea. I’m dead serious about that, so don’t take that as sarcasm. I’ve had the most stupid fun on some of these PlayLink games and they’ve been great for group fun. I have five kids at home, so those with phones enjoy participating in these titles with the maximum amount of fun and the least amount of ‘I’m next!’. Anyway, Sony Interactive Ent...[Read More]
