Eight to Consider: Games of E3 2019
It’s June and that can mean only one thing in the world of video games – E3 is upon us. It pains me to say it, but I can’t lie, E3 isn’t nearly as exciting as it was a decade ago when I got back into video games. That said, I’m not a completely jaded […]
ROWYCO 11 – Ikaruga
Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez are covering another shooter. This time, it’s not rail-type. No, we’re going with one of the most-respected and well-know vertical shooters ever made – Ikaruga. Hiroshi Iuchi was the composer for this one and, much like Star Fox’s composer Hajime Hirasawa, this would be his last credit for composing. In […]
Blaster Master Zero 2 Review
Platform: Switch Inti Creates, developer of Mega Man and Mega Man-like games, are not-so-good when it comes to first goes around. To me, a lot of the developer’s initial games in a franchise seem more like a proof of concept for an eventual, better sequel. This is fitting for a company that’s made so much […]
Stray Cat Doors Review
Platforms: Switch (reviewed), Android, iOS The Nintendo Switch eShop is packed with games and dozens of new ones release on a weekly basis. This makes it rather hard to not only keep up with all the new content, but also weed out the good from the bad. Every once in a while though, a game […]

It seems like a new one is released almost weekly, so it takes a lot to separate from the pack. Survive! Mr. Cube falls into this category and while it has its […]
Eight to Consider: Games of E3 2018
This year’s E3 is in the books and, as I’ve done in years past, I thought I’d discuss some of the best games I saw during the show. There were a number of really interesting games shown off and announced this year, but unfortunately a good deal of those seemed to focus heavily on multiplayer. […]
Happy Birthdays Review
Platform: Switch Do you have some nostalgia for those educational games of yesteryear? I grew up playing a lot of them and that likely led up to my fondness for games that might be a bit more slow paced but require a fair amount of planning like Tactics Ogre and SimCity. Getting into those types of games felt […]
Attack on Titan 2 Review
Platforms: Playstation 4 (reviewed), Nintendo Switch, Vita, Windows, and Xbox One Attack on Titan as a property and I have a strange relationship. I enjoy the show because of the action sequences and overall world it sets up while caring only minimally about the characters and the narrative surrounding them. For me, Attack on Titan […]
94 – It’s-a Me, Judge Mario. I Find You Guilty
This week, Jason Arriola, John Lucero, and Franky Ordaz decide Mario might be an asshole, Far Cry 5 is a far cry from great, and Attack on Titan might not have the strongest story, characters, or writing, but it’s still fun. SPOILER ALERT! John spoils the hell out of the end of Far Cry 5, […]
