Dungeon Defenders: Awakened Review

Dungeon Defenders: Awakened is co-op Tower Defence combined with epic Action RPG combat. Which to me definitely sounded like an odd blend for sure. Back in the day when I would do a lot more PC gaming, I would often really enjoy tower defence games, something about them was relaxing and almost therapeutic. This is not quite the same. While at it’s core foundation it’s definitely a tower defence, you select the types of traps, shields, whatever you want to…

GRID Legends review

The latest rendition of the long-running GRID racing game series is the first across the finish line during what promises to be a blockbuster year for fans of console racing games. GRID Legends is a solid entry that has more personality than its 2019 predecessor and boasts an interesting story mode to ease players into the game. Some floaty handling and an uncertain online environment are the only things holding GRID Legends back from arcade racing royalty.

Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach Review

If you’ve been gaming at all in the last decade, you should have at least heard of Five Nights At Freddy’s. I certainly did, I had never really played them because the idea of a game set in a single room looking at cameras and locking doors didn’t really interest me. However the game series (now on it’s 10th game) has taken the world by storm, from toys to games to clothing it’s all out there. All because of a…

Beyond a Steel Sky Review

27 years later we get a sequel to Beneath a Steel Sky…The original came out in the hay day of point and click adventure games like Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, and Broken Sword. As an “old” man, these types of games have always had a soft spot in my heart. I do recall playing the original but it’s been a LONG time since I’ve thought about this game. Luckily you aren’t missing much in picking up the Beyond…
