Just about 20 years ago, Okage: Shadow King—developed by Zener Works—was released for the PlayStation 2. A few years after that, I played through the game several times, lost it, and have never played it again since. Have you ever experienced something magical in your life that you find yourself wishing you could go back […]
I’d Love To Try Outriders, But That’d Mean Giving Up My Hundreds Of Destiny 2 Guns
Working as a games reporter means that I get to see a lot of games, the vast majority of which I will never play. There are just too many games and way too few hours in a day. And there are a lot of great games out there that look appealing. Eric, Sergio, and Cian […]
Please Stop Making Musou Games As Sequels To Strategy-Based Main Games
I’ve never been able to get into Musou style games, despite many attempts at it. I can see how they could be cathartic for people, since you can slash or beat your way through giant mobs of enemies. I’ve even written about some games that are great for blowing off steam, and most Musou games […]
Clea 2 Review: Don’t Let The “No Jump Scares” Description Fool You
Clea 2 is a survival horror game developed by InvertMouse and published by Sekai games. It is a sequel to the original Clea, which was released back in 2019. The gameplay between Clea and Clea 2 is almost exactly the same, but Clea 2 corrects several of the problems with the original Clea— though not all […]
Hopscotch And Dropkicks – Valheim’s Movement Animations Are Hilarious
If you had to describe a Viking climbing up a ladder, what would you say? I reckon they’d probably look like they’re moving a bit slow, right, but they’re actually just doing three rungs at a time, lurching back to gain extra leverage every time they propel their hand up to a seemingly unreachable height. […]
EA, It’s Time To Bring Back The Burnout Series
Need For Speed is an exhausted series. Over the past decade, it’s had blunder after blunder after blunder. Meanwhile, the Forza Horizon and The Crew series have taken EA’s concept and run with it, leaving NFS to the curb. It feels old and shriveled. However, EA has another series left in the garage. It’s been […]
Pokemon TCG Expansion Battle Style Is A Love Letter To The Real Players And Collectors
Battle Styles has no business being this good. Coming off the heels of Shining Fates, I was fully prepared for another Unified Minds – an average, but forgettable set, lost in the hype that surrounded Hidden Fates. It’s only been a few weeks since the release of the special Shining Fates set, but Battle Styles […]
Is The Snyder Cut Good? | Justice League Spoilercast
These days, it feels like you can’t wake up without seeing something new about a superhero property. Whether you’re a fan of Marvel movies that will finally get their release in 2021 or are anxiously awaiting the return of the Batfamily to your PlayStation or Xbox, fans of powerful do-gooders and tight spandex have a lot to keep up […]
Plants Vs. Zombies: Battle For Neighborville Switch Review
Ever since Popcap was acquired by EA their focus has shifted away from simple yet well-crafted puzzle games and towards titles more befitting of their new owner’s largely detested business practices. Hence why Plants Vs. Zombies has transformed from a lovable tower defense game into a multiplayer third-person hero shooter. At this point, I’m surprised […]
Square Enix’s Showcase Should Be A Lesson For The Rest Of Gaming
Yesterday, Square Enix held a digital event to talk about its upcoming games, and it featured a long segment on the new Life is Strange game, as well as info on Outriders, Marvel’s Avengers, Tomb Raider, Balan Wonderland, and Just Cause Mobile.
