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…

What happens if you take Red Dead Redemption, with a dash of Van Helsing, and a sprinkle of Evil Dead? Well, you get Evil West, a fun and almost retro inspired action-adventure game from the early 90’s. There is a lot of devilish fun to be had here, if you can get past the “old” feel of some of the elements of the game. Evil West is a third-person shooter. In the game, the player assumes control of Jesse Rentier,…

I have a seven year old daughter, and much like most kids around that age, they like to watch youtubers play games, open toys, etc. Now most of the time they revolve around Roblox or Minecraft but occasionally something else will pop up and get their attention. Well I was first introduced to Animal Shelter Simulator on PC because of that. I am a sucker for a good simulation game but at the time it was only on PC, which…

In a video game world that is dominated by Forza and Gran Toursimo, is there still room in the market for a successful Need for Speed installment. While Forza and Gran Tourismo typically stay in their lanes (pun intended) Need for Speed typically adds a particular gimmick to each game to make it stand out from the competition. This time around does it pay off for them, or are they left in the dust? Welcome to Lakeshore City! The time…

When Logitech announced it was releasing a cloud gaming handheld device, I was instantly intrigued. Yes, you can play cloud games and games straight from your device on the SteamDeck, but that comes with a huge cost. Currently, the only handheld I loved using was the Nintendo Switch, so this device from Logitech was intriguing. Then I saw the price and began to question whether it was worth it or not.   I think we should get this out of…

Return to Monkey Island is the follow up to 1991’s Monkey Island 2, that’s right 31 years later we got the follow up to the cliffhanger ending of Monkey Island 2. For those of us old enough to remember and appreciate it. Legendary point and click game creator Ron Gilbert (Maniac Mansion, Monkey Island, Thimbleweed Park) had always wanted to continue to work on the series he created however when Disney bought Lucas Arts he no longer had access to…
