River City Girls Review
Platforms: Playstation 4, Switch, Windows, Xbox One (reviewed) The River City (otherwise known as Kunio-kun) franchise is one that’s been around for over 30 years and has never really had that breakout hit that gets it to stick in the heads of the masses. Its lineage has been a bit confusing. My entry point was […]
A Plague Tale: Innocence Review
Platforms: Playstation 4, Windows, and Xbox One (reviewed) Point-and-click adventure games have faded out of popularity for a good while. As technology improved, the reliance on telling a story through something more akin to “Choose Your Adventure” books fell out of favor and instead moved to attempting to ape movies. As games got closer to […]
Ape Out Review
Platforms: Switch (reviewed) and Windows When I was five years old, I was bitten by a monkey. I was at a zoo in Portugal on a family holiday. At that time I could not read Portuguese, I still can’t read Portuguese, but if I could I would have read in big block letters: NÃO ALIMENTE […]
Resident Evil 2 Review
Platforms: PlayStation 4 (reviewed), Xbox One, Microsoft Windows It’s been 21 years since Resident Evil 2 released on the original PlayStation and to some, it’s regarded as the pinnacle of the series.

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. […]
Destiny 2 Review
Platforms: Playstation 4 (reviewed), Windows, and Xbox One Destiny 2 is Destiny with confidence. The first game, while mechanically sound, was plagued by poor design decisions and an oppressive level of grinding in the endgame. It was a full year with the release of The Taken King expansion that the game started to realize its […]
Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles Review
Platforms: PlayStation 4 (reviewed), Microsoft Windows Certain games come along at the right time in life and click with you when they may otherwise not have. While it may be a rare occurrence for some, I think this fact is true for everyone, as a game you love now is something you may have been […]
Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice Review
Platforms: Playstation 4 (reviewed) and Windows Video games have generally not been the most nuanced vehicles for expressing the effects of mental illness and that’s what makes Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice so much more impressive. Developer Ninja Theory combined it’s knack for cinematic presentaion with a very taboo topic to create an unforgettable, if flawed, game. […]
We Are Doomed Review
Platforms: Mac, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita (reviewed), Windows, and Xbox One We Are Doomed is a chaotic twin-stick arena style shooter. It’s a game all about using a giant laser beam to take out a variety of polygon enemies. It’s all about the gameplay and chasing high scores as there’s no story, no cutscenes, and […]
The Evil Within Review
Platforms: Playstation 3, PlayStation 4 (reviewed), Windows, Xbox 360, and Xbox One The human psyche is all too fragile. The fact that most of us are just one traumatizing event away from completely breaking down and losing control is a terrifying thing to think about. The Evil Within uses this fear to craft one the […]
