The Mortal Kombat games have a creepy, gruesome aesthetic that lends itself to the horror of Halloween season. I hop on to play this title still just about daily, and the newly released Terminator character has given me good reason to spend even more time with this title than usual of late. Combine...

Estimated reading time: 11 minutes Beeps and Beers has been something on a break, but I thought that a one year celebration at a local arcade and bar called The Grid would be a good reason to revisit this article series. It is always an entertaining place to visit, but with unique beers,...

Estimated reading time: 6 minutes I have had a surprising number of games to review recently, despite the late season (mostly due to the Oculus Touch and a bunch of the titles that released with it). While slipping on a headset while having a few beers probably isn't recommended, I have to...

Estimated reading time: 4 minutes A King's Tale: Final Fantasy XV is not a terribly long game, and in fact it was simply a pre-order bonus for those who went ahead and ordered Final Fantasy XV at Gamestop. I actually enjoyed the game a fair amount - it was not a spectacular title, but it...

Estimated reading time: 6 minutes Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is one of those games you can sink a lot of time into. There is of course the primary storyline, but you have a variety of online match options, the parallel quests, the different trainers, timed bonus events and more that can...

Awhile back I had a chance to try out an Oculus Rift before they were readily available, and I came away impressed with both the result and fascinated with the possibilities. Somewhat recently we got one in our hands full-time, leading to a bevy of reviews and previews lately. Admittedly a...

Fall is undoubtedly here. From fall sports (hello NFL, NHL and NBA) to different foods and of course, seasonal beers. NHL 17 is doing a nice job of getting me to play the game differently than in years past. Traditionally I stick to the hometown teams in Madden, NHL and MLB: The Show, working...

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 of video game...

As someone who has been gaming for a very long time and still has a pretty extensive game collection, I find it interesting to see so many remake/remaster games these days. Especially since most of the time, they do very little to really improve on the original outside of perhaps making the...
