Opening day has come and gone, and we still don’t have any baseball. With major sports brought to a standstill by the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the only outlets for sports is video games. RBI Baseball ’20 would very much like to be one of those outlets. Believe it or not, this year’s release is the seventh in a row of the more modern iteration of the franchise. RBI Baseball generally flies under the radar because it’s impossible to talk…

More Thoughts From Me #215: Be Prepared For Delays
I’ve been hesitant to write this column. I don’t really like to write negatively in this column. But I see a lot of people hoping for this game or that game. We see rumors all the time. And with the current state of the world, I can’t help but think that will we see a lot of delayed games this year. We’ve already seen it with the movie industry. Why should the video game industry be any different? Here are…
Read MoreTT Isle of Man 2 Review
So just what is TT Isle of Man exactly? You might think oh, this is a bike racing game. You're not wrong, although I found the history behind it to be very interesting. The Isle of Man TT is run in a time-trial format on public roads closed to the public. The event consists of one week of practice sessions followed by one week of racing. It has been a tradition, dating back as far as the 1920s. More importantly...it's now a video game.
Read MoreOne Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows Review
As a fan of the show by the same name, as well as a long time Mortal Kombat enthusiast, I could not wait to get started playing One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows. At first, it seemed like a match made in heaven. While some aspects of the game were more in-depth and impressive than I would have suspected, others were equally less impressive than I had hoped. Let’s dive right in and see what awaits us in One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows!
Read MoreMore Coming to Two Point County – Our Top 3 New Franchises
Back in 2019, GamesRadar did an interview the team behind Two Point Hospital to discuss the game itself, and if we would see any other games coming to Two Point County. You can read that full interview here! We won't hash out that entire discussion here again, except to say that the development team definietly envisions more adventures coming to Two Point County, and might have even dotted a few hints along the way! Did anyone else the 'amusement park' - actually just a small collection of fair rides - on the map?! Let's dive into three new franchises we ...
Read MoreOri and the Will of the Wisps Review
Ori and the Will of the Wisps, available as a part of Game Pass or $30 to own, is a fantastic game that’s worth whichever price of entry you choose. During the review period, it was clear that there were some issues with performance, and while Microsoft assured us these would be addressed with a day one patch, they still recommended that the game be played on an Xbox One X or Windows 10. Not one to do what I’m…
Read MoreBayonetta Remaster Review
Bayonetta, one of the most iconic action-adventure games from the previous generation era, has been remastered and released on the Xbox One and PS4. As mentioned previously, you don’t see too many successful action-adventure games being released these days, with even some of the biggest franchises experiencing a slump in sales. With this in mind, it would be fair to say that a Bayonetta re-release would have a difficult time finding too much traction in a world already saturated with action adventure games. Will the success and nostalgia of the original game ...

There will be no E3 2020 convention this year. We have more details below. E3 2020 has officially been cancelled due to Coronavirus concerns. It sounds like there may be an online streaming E3 event of some kind but details are sketchy at the moment. Xbox has said that they will have a digital event. We are waiting to hear what Sony and Nintendo will do. Nintendo does do a lot of Nintendo Directs so it should be easy for…
Read MoreMonster Energy Supercross 3 – Review
I’m going to take a step back from reviewing Monster Energy Supercross 3 on the PS4, and let my 3-year-old give her thoughts on the latest game in the series from Milestone. “The obstacle course looks beautiful!” Insert “track” for “obstacle course” and you can see where she’s coming from. The game is a looker, as each of its predecessors has been. The tracks look great from the beginning, whether you’re indoors or outdoors, under the lights or in the…
Read MoreThe Amazing Value of Xbox Game Pass
Finding value from video games can be a challenge. This is especially true if you are seeking enjoyment and value at the same time. With game prices typically ranging from $20 to $60 for Standard editions, sure, you can find some occasional value. Especially when there is a rare Special or Deluxe edition in that price range. These are usually more in the $80 to $120 range on a regular basis. That’s where value tends to be more subjective and falls into the hands of what each individual wants.
