The Rogue Prince of Persia (Nintendo Switch 2) Review
Evil Empire and Ubisoft’s 2D side-scrolling roguelike, The Rogue Prince of Persia, has gone physical nearly one year after its digital release. By now, it’s on every platform you can think of, except maybe the Amazon Alexa. Jokes aside, its physical release is timed with a reminder that Evil Empire isn’t done with The Rogue Prince of Persia, yet. There are two major content updates coming in the f...[Read More]
Rayman – 30 Anniversary Edition Review (PS5)
When it comes to video game history, I’m a big softy, especially when the game is still fun to play. Now, that said, I cannot believe that Rayman is celebrating its 30th anniversary. It’s nuts how quickly time flies. Well, celebrate its aging-ness, developer Digital Eclipse and Ubisoft have released Rayman – 30th Anniversary Edition. It covers a hefty chunk of the good-spirited hero’s history thro...[Read More]
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Review
Assassin’s Creed‘s Animus has been one of the series’ hallmarks since its inception. Once a core component of the narrative, the Animus has somewhat dwindled in relevance from game to game. The Animus, created by Abstergo, the corporate mask worn by modern-day Templars, was used to allow humans the ability to relive the genetic memories of their ancestors. Abstergo used the Animu...[Read More]
Star Wars Outlaws Review
Being sandwiched between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi could have been Star Wars Outlaws‘ greatest failing. Instead, it is the game’s greatest strength. Shadows of the Empire was similarly set between those two films and, I would argue, became a relatively beloved slice of Star Wars canon before much of the Extended Universe was annihilated. I played Shadows of the Emp...[Read More]

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Review (Nintendo Switch)
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown shit was a banger, and I know, bangers. Need to put out that this is my first review ever, and I’m so lowered and energetic about this open door. Couldn’t be any more grateful to have the option to offer my viewpoint and gifts through explicitly gaming, and different types of media. I would harm if I didn’t get this review going by expressing that...[Read More]
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Review
There is a perpetual sense of wonder throughout Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. Admittedly, I was worried for a minute. In its opening hours, the game delivered some slick 2D action and an interesting premise. But none of it felt wholly special. A few “wow” moments trickled in, showcasing some unexpected visual spectacles to fuel intrigue. And then I got my first time power and was a...[Read More]
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Review
“Oh yeah,” I thought as I had to crouch to go under a door, “I’m ten feet tall.” Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora asks players one simple thing: lose yourself in this world, let it absorb you. There is a kind of poetry in a game that allows its players to inhabit a central character. Not just a character that stands on two legs and shoots guns or slays demons or triumphs ...[Read More]
Assassin’s Creed Mirage Review (PS5)
Years ago, Ubisoft changed the formula of their hit Assassin’s Creed series which was losing steam when a very broken Assassin’s Creed Unity arrived. Riddled with bugs, boring gameplay, and some mysterious and unjustified lack of a female protagonist, the game was a tough sell to gamers. Ubisoft responded by publishing Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, which brought more intriguing characters, a game th...[Read More]
The Crew Motorfest Review
The Crew Motorfest opens with a dazzling introduction. Players are shot out into the Hawaiian island of O’ahu in their car racing across its gorgeous streets. Careening past other vehicles, the narrator begins describing what’s to come of this year’s Motorfest, the setting for The Crew‘s newest playground. Suddenly the topography shifts along with the vehicle. The city beco...[Read More]
The Crew Motorfest – Hands-on Preview
While I’m not the biggest hardcore fan of car titles, like our wonderful car guru Ben Branscum, I tend to enjoy arcade-type driving experiences. That little passion began years ago with Atari’s Hard Drivin’ and has continued for nearly 30+ years. I like short stints of wild car rides, short-term fun racing goals, and the occasional intense PvE race to fulfill my emotional car driving needs. I’ve n...[Read More]
