Greyhill Incident was instantly on my radar from the first time I saw it. It’s pretty public knowledge at this point that I am a sucker for a good horror game, and honestly, the whole alien aspect hasn’t been done that often, and definitely not like this.   It’s the early 90s in the US, the media talks about weather balloons and conspiracy theories. But residents of the small neighborhood soon realize! THE GOVERNMENT IS LYING. The recent increase ...

Long before we were treated in the gaming world to the masterpiece series known as MLB the Show, little Kevin used to sit in front of his CRT TV playing games like Bases Loaded. There was just something about how much FUN those games were. Fully embracing the arcadiness style of gameplay, no need for real teams or players, just had fun with it. The mechanics also were so simple that virtually anyone could pick it up and play. Flash…

When Lord of the Rings: Gollum was first announced… I had thoughts. Number one was, who asked for this? But Number two was, this actually looks kinda neat, maybe it will surprise me. Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War were decent games, perhaps this isn’t completely crazy. Well as the game officially came close to release and folks got there hands on the game (without the marketing spin), they were in fact surprised. The Lord of the Rings: Gollum…

So I was given an opportunity to get my hands on Everdream Valley a little early ahead of it’s May 30th release date. Now I have been a fan of games like Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons and such, so it’s hard to find something new and exciting on the farming adventure kind of games with all of the competition. We do get quite alot of them honestly, but very few to the quality of the titles I…

So, we all know I have a bit of a reputation here at GamesReviews. I’ve mowed lawns, I’ve built PCs, I’ve flipped homes, I’ve power washed stuff, I’ve run gas stations….so what on earth could possibly be next for me? How about fish tanks?!? Aquarist is an aquarium building simulator much like PC building Simulator. The game starts with you on your birthday, and you are given your first tank and some $$ to design your own. ...

Smash opponents off the arena and score goals in lightning-fast 3v3 matches—totally free-to-play. Squad up with friends and choose from a growing cast of colorful Strikers to sling slimes, toss tofu, and rocket boost to victory! Omega Strikers follows a simple ...

I’m a sucker for the old school FMV games. Playing them on my PC in the mid-late 90s and occasionally we get some on consoles now. The latest of which being Mia and the Dragon Princess, which don’t let the name fool you, the game is full of greatly coordinated fights, explosions, and action. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Mia dreams of adventure, but her feeling of responsibility to her workmates – who have become her surrogate family –…

During yesterdays Playstation Showcase Ubisoft announced that the next installment in the Assassin’s Creed franchise will launch on Oct. 12 while releasing a trailer for it as well. The new trailer follows Basim, guided by his fellow Hidden Ones, leveraging his tools and skills to track down and eliminate his targets. One of the most agile and resourceful Assassins in franchise history, Basim’s singular playstyle emphasizes stealth and deadly ...

With E3 dead and gone at this point, we have been waiting for the big three to pull back the curtain and let us know what they have up their sleeves for the rest of 2023 and beyond. Last night Sony showcased over 30 titles and announcements giving players a roadmap of what is to come both exclusive to Sony and not. On the hardware side of things, they showcased the new Project Q, which while isn’t a Vita comeback…

Very few games reach the popularity and the longevity of Minecraft, love it or hate it, you cannot deny the immense success of the game. Branching out from not only video games, but to books, clothing, bedroom accessories, and of course toys. One of the biggest toy makers in the world Lego, of course embraced Minecraft in all of it’s blocky-ness. It’s really a no brainer. As Minecraft gears up to celebrate it’s 14th anniversary on May 17th, ...
