• WWE 2K25 – Xbox Series X Review

    To be frank: this is what you hope to see in an annually released game. More features and improvements across the board combine to make it better than ever. WWE 2K25 is exactly that – bigger and better than ever.

  • Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered - PC Review

    The year was 1996 when I first heard about Tomb Raider. I didn't have a Playstation, nor was I any sort of adept at using those controllers. However I did enjoy watching my friend play them on his PS...

  • Microtopia - PC Review

    Microtopia is a neat game where players grow a new kind of colony, the kind that is run by robotic ants. Now if an automation game where you get to control robotic ants isn't an interesting one, you've been living under a rock.

  • Maliki: Poison of the Past - PC Preview

    Hey there, and welcome to a preview of a new title that’s now wormed it’s way into my wishlist. Maliki: Poison of the Past is a really neat looking title that draws from the graphic novel series Maliki.

  • Space Engineers 2 - PC Preview

    Keen Software House (Keen) has recently launched Space Engineers 2 (SE2) into early access with a polished communication campaign featuring YouTube influencer previews, snappy teasers and a road map using the ‘vertical slice’ concept to show the intended path between initial early access availability and final release.

  • Ever 17: The Out of Infinity - Nintendo Switch Review

    I've got a good one for ya! An awkward teen, an amnesiac kid, a grumpy Lolita, a bratty child (not really), a hacker, an oblivious employee and an AI walk into an underwater bio-dome---

  • ZPF - PC Preview

    ZPF is a new shoot-'em-up game that looks, sounds and plays like a Sega Genesis game. The demo I played was short with three levels and three different heroes (ships) each with their own play style.

  • Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land - PS5 Review

    If there's one series that keeps me excited for every new release, it's Gust's Atelier series. As much as things change over the years, the core staple of the series remains the same. It's about alchemy...

  • Rise of the Ronin - PC Review

    Set in the Bakumatsu-era in Japan, Rise of the Ronin follows the path of a Veiled Edge, a unique paired swordsmen's technique where you play one half of a pair of sword-slinging ronin called Blade Twins.

2014 Games of the Year

With 2014 about to hit the rear view mirror at the end of today, we thought it was time to take a look back at the year in gaming and examine our favorite titles over the last twelve months. We have had a range of games on every console and of course with a team as diverse as...

Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer - Xbox One Preview

You would be hard-pressed to find a gamer that is not at least familiar with the Halo franchise. A juggernaut in console FPS gaming, the Halo franchise started back in November of 2001 and changed the genre forever. Folks will argue that Goldeneye, for the Nintendo 64, was what...

Elite Dangerous - PC Review

In recent years we have seen an uptick in space-based games, from 4X titles like Endless Space and Civilizations: Beyond Earth, to space simulators like Star Citizen and Elite: Dangerous, to titles like Kerbal Space Program and Space Engineers. Starting in the early 80's and...

Game of Thrones: Episode One - Iron From Ice - Xbox 360 Review

Game of Thrones (or, as the series is called, A Song of Ice and Fire) by George R.R. Martin has become something of a media juggernaut in recent years, going from a massively popular book series to an ever more popular HBO series. In this day an age, as popularity increases,...

Hell - PC Review

The concept that Hell overflows and demons rush forth to the realm of humanity, feasting upon the defenseless population is as old as time itself. Stories conjured up as warnings for bad behavior or early versions of entertainment have depicted the demons of Hell rising forth...

Rollers of the Realm - PC Review

This game is more about taking chances than anything else. Not necessarily you the player, but the development team that decided to blend two very different gaming genres together into one title. Billed as an RPG/pinball hybrid, there are plenty of puzzle elements to be had...

Grand Theft Auto V - PS4 Review

Grand Theft Auto V can only be described as an overwhelming violent tour de force. Things blow up. People get killed. Accidents happen - and quite often the bad things that happen are more sinister than accidents. However, to simply describe the latest Grand Theft Auto as nothing...

NIS America has some great stuff coming in 2015

2014 was probably the best year for NIS America to date in my experience. They had a number of outstanding releases, from the usual suspects like Disgaea to surprises like Danganronpa. Already some of the release plans for 2015 and getting announced, and it looks promising for...

Flyhunter Origins - PS Vita Review

Welcome to Zak's life. He is a lovable enough, but incredibly clumsy one-eyed alien who dreams of being a Flyunter. Unfortunately as he acts out a scene, he accidentally jettisons the cargo he is escorting to a nearby planet where everything is larger than life - or at least...

Final Fantasy XIII-2 - PC Review

Final Fantasy XIII-2 released some time ago, but the series is getting some new life now on the PC format. Promising enhanced resolution and framerate and the inclusion of most (not all) of the DLC from the console versions, Final Fantasy XIII-2 receives a second chance to be...

Dragon Age: Inquisition - PS4 Review

Interestingly my game of the year landed just before the end of the year. Talk about going out on a high note. There have been a number of really good RPG games over the last couple of years, but Dragon Age: Inquisition with its massive world, interesting story that grows better...

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare - Xbox 360 Review

I first picked up Chivalry a couple of years ago when it released on the PC. I enjoyed it well enough despite some flaws and always felt like this was a title that would perform well on a console. Certainly using a controller felt more natural than a mouse and keyboard and the...

Blackguards 2 - PC Preview

I enjoyed the first Blackguards game, which proved to be fairly deep RPG/strategy hybrid that used the rule set from The Dark Eye tabletop RPG series. In the first game, there was a ton to learn - the curve was a steep one due to the (at least to me) fairly unfamiliar gaming...

Bayonetta 2 - Wii U Review

For those who say Nintendo is only interested in being a family-friendly console, I present Bayonetta 2. The first game took a lot of people by surprise (myself included) with its mix of over-the-top action, religious references and a lead character who is quite sexualized....

Bloodbowl 2 coming to PS4, Xbox One and PC next year

I really wanted to like the original Bloodbowl game, initially picturing it as something of a modern day Mutant League Football. It just never really clicked with me, but that does not mean I cannot be excited for Bloodbowl 2, which I find myself hoping can fix some of the earlier...

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare - Xbox One Review

Sledgehammer Games had the unenviable task of trying to 'do something different' with a series that is often derided for its lack of originality. FPS is my genre. I have spent more times playing shooters than probably all others combined. I got hooked back during Modern Warfare...

Tales from the Borderlands: Episode One - Zero Sum - Xbox 360 Review

Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions - Xbox One Review

Twin stick shooters have been around forever, so coming up with new ways to iterate on the genre can be a challenge. Often they wrap around some sort of leaderboard where you fight through endless waves of enemies and try to score better than your buddies. Others have a sort...

Diablo II - Retro Reflections

When it first came out Diablo 2 was a slight disappointment. The graphics were mediocre, lacking in detail, variety and colors. Moreover, the save system was not practical: if you saved you had to exit the game and when you returned all enemies has respawned, even bosses. Despite...

Joe Dever's Lone Wolf HD Remastered - PC Review

While the Lone Wolf series might not be familiar to everyone, these were among my first roleplaying experiences as a kid more than twenty years ago. Given that I am a fan of RPGs and visual novels, the blending of the two genres into a video game made perfect sense to me. This...

Project Nimbus - PC Preview

Project Nimbus is a game after my own heart; take giant mechas called "BattleFrames", giant floating cities, the ability to target multiple bad guys at once, and then let slip the dogs of war. First, I am a massive mecha fan and I grew up on Robotech / Macross, Mobile Suit Gundam,...

Far Cry 4 - PS4 Review

Far Cry 4 qualifies as a sequel, despite the fact it draws so much inspiration directly from the last game in the series. An open world with a ton of quests? Over-the-top psychotic villain? A leveling system to compliment first-person action and stealth? A trio of 'checks' there....

Sony PlayStation TV - Hardware Review
