Add this to the list of reviews I didn’t think I’d be writing in 2023. Goldeneye 007 was a killer app on the N64, and is legendary in the console FPS world. But how does the new remaster hold up? 007 played by Pierce Brosnan makes an unexpected (and difficult) return to our screens in the guise of a slightly improved emulation of the original game. That’s not to say that it isn’t improved. The control scheme makes it immensely…

Most kids start at a young age with a fascination with construction vehicles and demolition, right? Well, this game is basically that in a nutshell, break stuff buy new tools to break more stuff, buy more stuff to break bigger stuff. Simple formula really, should be easy enough to execute. Well…. Demolish and Build has you take charge of your own Demo company, you start off with minimal tools and equipment picking up odds jobs to earn more cash to…

Don’t let the name fool you, this is a brand-new game out now for the Nintendo Switch. Sure, it’s a port of the 2021 version for PC, but don’t let that stop you from having a good time and getting your grease monkey on. The game’s overall premise is pretty simple, you are a budding mechanic with big dreams to create your own custom bikes. But in order to gain money and a solid customer base you start off doing…

Survival horror has returned. Resident Evil isn’t a punchline anymore, and there are any number of big and small games for genre fans to sink their teeth into – some of them might even be pretty good. Nightmare of Decay expertly uses this to take us back to a simpler time. It’s first-person, but don’t read too much into that. This is a love letter to the old Resident Evil games, where you would explore sprawling buildings, fight the undead…

It's difficult to say whether or not Fire Emblem Engage will appeal to all audiences, as it depends on what type of gameplay and features players are looking for in a game. I know that the Fire Emblem series has a dedicated fanbase that enjoys the turn-based, tactical gameplay and character development. The use of familiar characters from previous entries in the series may appeal to fans of the series, but it could also potentially alienate new players who may feel like they are missing out on previous storylines and character relationships.

Sonic Frontiers is the best Sonic game in a generation. If you’re running faster than the blue blur to tell me that isn’t saying much, congratulations. You win Internet Original of the Day. But believe me when I say this is a new direction for the former console mascot. Do you remember the Saturday morning cartoon Sonic? He could seemingly run on any surface, leaping from one area to another in a blue line, impossible to see. That was the…

It’s funny that 2007 classic Portal is now one of the hardest games to get running at max settings on PC. But by adding raytracing, that’s exactly what it has become. Does it make the immortal GOAT a better game? No. But it sure as hell proves a concept that feels a long, long way away. As a visual overhaul Portal with RTX is impressive. It takes a still decent-looking 15-year-old game and it makes it modern – and that’s…

Over the past year I have played ALOT of Far Cry 6 and considering it’s one of my favorite franchises I don’t see that as a bad thing. Having beaten the core game, and all three DLCs packages from the season pass that focused on previous villains in a rouge like game definitely was a twist that was interesting and fun, but ultimately kind of wore out its welcome by the time I finished the last one. With Lost Between…

In a world where football is banned, it’s up to one youngster to… play football. So that football can return to the world? That’s Soccer Story, and if that explanation grabs you, congratulations – the game is exactly what you think it’ll be. Soccer Story is part sports game, yes. But mostly it’s about exploration and MMO-style quests that have you mostly using your magic ball for busywork. It is a story where it seems the only reason everybody gave…

CD Projekt Red might have had a few rocky years as of late with the roller-coaster of a game with Cyberpunk 2077, but they are doing something really special for fans of what is undoubtedly their greatest hit in the Witcher 3.  Dropping on December 14th at midnight, the new update is coming out for free, to anyone who owns The Witcher 3 currently. Now there is allot in this update, this isn’t an example of just some texture smoothing…
