Every once in a while a game comes along that just feels completely out of place in its environment. As soon as I heard that Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes was to be released on the Nintendo Switch, I knew instantly that this would be one of those games. Travis Strikes Again: NMH, in all of its raunchiness and straight-up adults-only dialogue, on the family-oriented Nintendo Switch? It just didn’t make sense. It still doesn’t. But you know what, that ...

Released last December by developer The Bearded Ladies Consulting and publisher Funcom, Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is a turn-based tactical RPG that utilizes elements of real-time stealth and an intriguing storyline to bring an experience that can only be described as a next-level XCOM. The devs draw this parallel themselves, and with the two so closely linked, one has to wonder if Mutant Year Zero can do enough to set itself apart from its own inspiration. ...

Can social gaming actually improve your life? This is an age-old dilemma. As long as we have had video games, there have been concerns and often-unsubstantiated claims regarding the mental health impact that they have on players. Proponents of these statements often point to outdated and early-stage studies that suggest people who sit alone in a dark room playing video games alone for several hours each day are more prone to isolation, depression and even ...

While not slated to be released until January 25th, 2019, the latest from developer Limbic Entertainment and publisher Kalypso, Tropico 6 is already available via Beta Access for pre-purchases. As someone who has a rather complicated relationship with the Tropico franchise, I approached the Tropico 6 Beta Access with cautious optimism. It is always a hard job to review a game before its official release. There are bound to be bugs and issues, but it would be ...

Recent studies show that up to 79% of consumers do most of their shopping and spending online. This is up a huge margin from 22% just 10 short years ago. With this clear and tectonic shift towards an online market, it has never been more important for business owners to ensure that they are projecting a strong internet presence. For many traditional businesses who have, until now, operated entirely in brick-and-mortar storefronts, this means delving into a new ...

With online casinos and gaming sites growing rapidly, it can be very easy to lose yourself in a wide variety of bad deals or hooks that mislead you and bring you somewhere completely different from where you intended to go. With the increasing number of these false offers and mis-deals, it is more important than ever to find the right deals for you and your style of gaming with online casinos. It is important to note that gambling for real currency online is ...

In the world of gaming, long before the console or the PC, ages before professional sports, board games or even electricity, casinos (known then as gambling houses) reigned supreme. As far back as 1638, gambling houses have offered an exhilarating and challenging experience for those with a little extra money to burn. It did not take long for these early casinos to grow in popularity, and become a cultural staple. Over the ages they have morphed and adapted ...

Today, the dev team behind Beyond Good and Evil 2 revealed brand-new gameplay and a full project update via their Space Monkey Report #4 Live Stream. Included in this update were Augments, Vehicles, Co-Op and more! Now, as is always the case when fans are made to wait over a decade for the second game of a series, there will surely be some mixed feelings and criticisms that might feel overly harsh. With that being said I am still very excited for the ...

Developed and published by indie-developer OhNoo Studio, TSIOQUE is a 2D point-and-click adventure game that has been on my wishlist for a while now. So, when I was offered the chance to play and review the game, I jumped at the opportunity. While point-and-click games certainly have their place in the world of gaming, they have never been particularly effective at opening themselves up to wider audiences. Can TSIOQUE shake this stereotype? Let’s find out!

Today, Ubisoft announced that the first episode, Hunted, in the new post-launch story arc for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Legacy of the First Blade, is now available. 

MOTHERGUNSHIP is a bullet-hell roguelike FPS by developer Grip Digital that focuses entirely around gun creation. The fast-paced action and wide variety of enemies forces you to stay constantly alert or risk an untimely demise. While electrifyingly quick gameplay can keep the attention of some, most one-dimension games tend to lose their shine and promptly end up pushed to the side and forgotten. Can MOTHERGUNSHIP deliver what many bullet-hell shooters do not? ...

Enter the TerraSect RC car, the latest RC car with a slight twist that makes it unique in a saturated RC car marketplace. Want something that does more than moves forward and back, left and right? Then the TerraSect is for you. Let's take a look!

Toy reviews are something we've been doing on GamesReviews.com for the last year or so, thanks to some great partnerships with some fantastic companies. We are at it again with a newer product that might not be a household name...yet. You've heard of the Snuggie - and perhaps you own one - so enter a similar product but exclusively for kids: Cozy Wings; and their tag line could not be more fitting. "Wrap Around! Flap Around! Nap Around!" Let's take a look!

Seen by many as simply a luxury, racer gaming chairs serve a much greater purpose than their style. Nobody can deny that these chairs were designed to be stylish, but that certainly comes secondary to the comfort and support that they offer. From someone who has spent a lot of time gaming in standard office chairs and even old wooden desk chairs, I can definitively say that gaming chairs are worth every ounce of hype they receive. Most of these chairs come in ...

Released last week, Hitman 2 continues the legacy of the infamous Agent 47. Developed by IO Interactive and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, Hitman 2 is the sixth game in the franchise, not counting the games made for iOS and Android, and the second game in the latest reboot of the series. The Hitman franchise has been riddled with criticism at times for being too stagnant and repetitive while at others for losing sight of the original ...
