Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a gift that keeps on giving. We may have to wait to see if Cal Kestis and his adorable droid BD-1 return in a video game sequel, but until then, Hasbro continues to keep the game’s spirit alive and well through its awesome Black Series of action figures. Today, […]
A Mandalorian Game Is Inevitable; What Should It Look Like?
At this point, a Mandalorian video game feels inevitable. The Disney+ show is the most popular Star Wars thing in years (decades, maybe), several Star Wars games are said to be in development, and it feels like it could adapt so easily into the video game space. The various arcs of the first two seasons […]
The Colonists Review: A Colony Of Adorable Robots? Sign Me Up!
Nothing makes a game easier to sell than a swarm of adorable robots. It worked wonders for Astro’s Playroom and I’m sure the developer of The Colonists is hoping it’ll work for them as well. This is yet another 4x strategy game that aims to be a bit more accessible than titles like the Civilization […]
Backing Marvel United: X-Men’s Kickstarter Is A No-Brainer For Mini-Collectors And Marvel Fans
When I had the awesome opportunity to check out Marvel: United, I was blown away. Not only did the collector in me rejoice at the quality of the mini-figurines for my favorite Marvel superheroes (and villains), the tabletop game itself was easy to learn and play almost immediately out of the box. I reviewed the […]
Marvel’s Jessica Jones Is The Most Underrated Superhero
I’ll be the first to admit it—I’m not really a superhero fan. I couldn’t really get into any of the Marvel movies or shows, with the exception of the Avengers and Iron Man movies (which, let’s face it, is only because I’m crushing on Robert Downey Jr.). I’ve seen probably about 75 percent of the […]
New Pokemon Snap’s Rival Is The Worst One In The Series
Pokemon has been hit and miss with rivals throughout the series. Gary and Silver? Hits. Hau? Miss. I’m not sure the villainous teams would officially be rivals, but if they are, Jessie and James are the hits, and most other teams are decent but most individual characters are misses. Sword and Shield is overflowing with […]
Knockout City’s all-new sport needs an all-new ref, too
Consider instant-replay review in a real-life sport, examining a thrilling play that just happened and either verifying or overturning the result: That agonizing pause in the action, as the umps go to the booth to double-check their work on the field, makes fans feel like the exciting thing they just saw hasn’t actually happened yet. […]
New Pokemon Snap Hits Differently Than The Original After 20+ Years Of Pokemon Games Being The Same
I will say right off the bat that I’ve got a weird relationship with Pokemon. When the first Pokemon games and anime were released in the US when I was around six years old, I was instantly obsessed. I saw every episode of the show and played through both Red and Blue, multiple times. From […]
After Two Years For Everyone To Calm Down: The Game Of Thrones Ending Wasn’t As Bad As You Thought
If ever an article was going to get me obliterated by angry hooligans on the internet, it’s going to be this one. If you’re one of the few that didn’t black out with rage upon reading the title and are actually going to check out why I’m making this claim—thank you! Please don’t mistake this […]
Returnal’s Adrenaline System Is Too Clever For Its Own Good
I’m not entirely sure if I would describe Returnal as a complicated game that simplifies things well, or a simple game that needlessly overcomplicates things. It has a twisting and unsettling story, one that is fed to you in meagre breadcrumbs and at a slow enough pace that you feel like you’re always learning… at […]
