Fall has certainly arrived here in Michigan. Cool breezes, leaves are turning color and the NFL season is well underway now. While we did not get a Madden 17 review up this year like usual (no review copy = later acquisition), that does not mean I am skipping my yearly dose...

Toy Odyssey: The Lost and Found - Xbox One Review
September 28, 2016CGRreview, console, Hikergames, microsoft, MS, review, Toy Odyssey: The Lost and Found, XB1, xbox, Xbox One

To its credit, Toy Odyssey: The Lost and Found gives the player a ton of different things to do and the sends of progression, steadily scaling difficulty and procedurally generated levels give the game incredible amounts of replay value. Toy Odyssey is not a perfect game,...

I love games that tug at my imagination and challenge me to think about who my character is and why he or she does what they do. When Dear Esther first released on PC about four years ago, it was on the forefront of what would become known as 'Walking Simulators', and while...

The Witness - Xbox One Review
September 26, 2016CGRreview, console, microsoft, MS, review, The Witness, Thekla Inc., XB1, xbox, Xbox One

What The Witness does best is create a structured world full of freedom, which seems like a conflicting way to describe a video game. Truth of the matter is, The Witness is a difficult game to simply describe, but it is undoubtedly a powerful one that fans of puzzle games...
