The same complaint that a lot of annual sports video game franchises receive is (mostly) true with NASCAR Heat 5. This year’s game feels basically like a roster and car paint update compared to previous versions. The driving model feels a lot better — my cars don’t just spin with the slightest contact, and I’m finding it easier to get involved in drafts and pushes. The game also just looks better, though that could be because I’m playing this year’s…

This morning The Pokemon Company unveiled what they teased last week as as a “Big announcement”. Given that last week announced the much demanded sequel to the cult classic Pokemon Snap, most people were expecting a new Let’s Go style game. Well, they couldn’t be further from the truth. This morning The Pokemon Company announced Pokemon Unite, a team-based mobile battle arena game created in cooperation with China’s Tencent. It’s ...

In this modern age of gaming where remakes and remasters are a standard, ONE SPONGE stands alone (not really Patrick and Sandy are there too) to try and breath life again into the platformers of yesteryear? But does this one get the job done or does SpongeBob just leave us all wet? The original game was developed for PS2, Xbox, and Nintendo GameCube back in 2003 believe it or not. While a major commercial success, overall reviews were middling at…

The problem that basically every kart racer runs into is that it’s just hard to beat Mario Kart. I’d argue that it’s impossible to beat Mario Kart — really, the only contenders strive to do some things just enough differently from the stalwart Nintendo franchise. The latest contender is a free-to-play entry, KartRider Drift, which allows for crossplay action across Xbox One and PC. The game stars a colorful — if generic — cast of characters that players can ...

Back on June 14th 2013, The original The Last of Us game came out and changed what video games could be forever. With groundbreaking graphics, writing better than many blockbuster movies released today, outstanding acting, outstanding sound design...it goes on and on. From my very first time playing it I was hooked, and it quickly landed in my top 3 games of all time despite it's gut wrenching opening that literally made me shed tears. It was the last hoorah ...

It’s the bottom of the 9th inning. The Sirloins trail by 2. Men (well, 1 man and 1 woman) on 1st and 3rd. 2 outs. Hammer Longballo steps up to the plate.   Yes, you read that right: Hammer. Longballo.   The slugger is well known in the minds of Super Mega Baseball fans. A hitter of epic proportions, both in his head size and on the stat sheet.   He’s older now. Has been in the Super Mega Baseball…
