• 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.

Valkyrie Drive: Bhikkhuni - PS Vita Review

Valkyrie Drive Boob, er, BHIKKHUNI, is something akin to the fanservice equivalent of a 3D fighter combined with a hack and slash with platform elements. Bhikkhuni definitely won’t appeal to everyone, especially given the, er, “well-endowed” cast, but contrary to my expectations,...

New Retro Arcade: Neon - PC / VR Review

New Retro Arcade: Neon mashes together a lot of genres and ideas into a very cool overall experience. This is not the deepest of games - in fact it is more of a collection of games, but as someone who grew up an arcade rat, this title is pretty solid as a non-VR experience...

Tyranny - PC Review

Tyranny has been on my radar for quite some time now. See, I rabidly follow Paradox as they publish some of my favorite games (Sengoku, Pillars of Eternity, Crusader Kings, Cities: Skylines, to name a few) so when they started sending out news about Obsidian's Tyranny I was...

Death by Degrees - Retro Reflections

I would expect a game with Nina Williams from the Tekken fighting series to be a beat’em up. However, “Death by degrees” is an action adventure where you explore a big ship, find items, open locks and avoid laser beams. There is also a lot of fighting but the control system...

Two Operation games to be excited for in 2017

Xanadu Next - PC Review

Xanadu Next is an RPG from over a decade ago that released on PCs and the N-Gage over in Japan while only now seeing a worldwide localized release. While it shows its age a bit in regards to graphics and character designs (which gives it an awesome retro feel by today’s standards),...

After a long line of Mega Man games on handheld systems, Inti Creates proves themselves to be the masters of the genre once more, this time with a new IP, Azure Striker Gunvolt.  ASG is about as Mega Man Zero/ZX as Mighty No. 9 is Mega Man, and while it does invite...

Super Dungeon Bros - PS4 Review

When first firing up Super Dungeon Bros, I was immediately reminded of Gauntlet, one of my favorite old arcade games of all time. This looks like a more cartoonish, playful and possibly even more entertaining version of that formula. The problem is, once you strip away the...
