I’m a sucker for the old school FMV games. Playing them on my PC in the mid-late 90s and occasionally we get some on consoles now. The latest of which being Mia and the Dragon Princess, which don’t let the name fool you, the game is full of greatly coordinated fights, explosions, and action. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Mia dreams of adventure, but her feeling of responsibility to her ...

At the beginning of the story, the first person Minecraft hero is pulled out of that world into ...
Ghostwire: Tokyo became almost more noteworthy for where it was than what it was. The last PlayStation exclusive from Xbox following the Bethesda deal, it seems to have came and went. That is a real shame. Now, a year on, Xbox can finally release Ghostwire: Tokyo on their own platforms, including Game Pass. Is it worth the leap in? A mix of Ubisoft’s blend of exploration with a heavy dose of Japanese ...
With a franchise series like Digimon, there has always been a feverish fan base that loved the series and scoffed in the face of Pokémon. Well all these years later we know which series ended up on top. But despite all that Digimon games do still occasionally come out. Digimon World: Next Order is a port of a game that originated on Vita, then made its way to PS4 stateside and now reaches a new audience with a ...
Like a Dragon (formerly known as Yakuza) can be a tough series to get into, with many installments in the series it can be confusing on where the best place is to jump in. It also can be a little too off the wall for some people, with the random karaoke breaks and off the wall narratives. Like a Dragon Ishin! However, is a very different kind of game, while yes it has the same characters known throughout the ...
Scars Above honestly wasn’t even on my radar until the opportunity to review the game became available to me. After watching a trailer for it I was certainly intrigued. While we have gotten a few games that are similar such as Dead Space Remake and The Callisto Protocol as far as the space disaster exploration games are concerned. What does Scars Above do differently to try to stand out from the competition? To ...
When this game was first announced on the last Xbox showcase it took the gaming world by storm and surprise, in an out now and on game pass announcement gamers had little to lose in trying this one out. Well, it certainly got everyone’s attention. But behind it all, is it REALLY a great game or was it a benefactor of a see it for the first time and its out now HYPE TRAIN? Let’s peel it back and ...
When the PR firm reached out and asked if I wanted to review Pharaoh: A New Era I brushed it off and kept scrolling. PC games aren’t for me, and I thought I’d come back to it later and get it sent to our PC Editor to review. I actually forgot about it for a few days, but when I circled back and FINALLY opened it up, I then realized this was a remake of my favourite city builder of…

Last year one of my most enjoyable gaming experiences was getting to review Two Point Campus, as a big fan of Two Point Hospital and Theme Hospital before it way back in the day this was a no brainer. The gameplay is fun, relaxing tone, humorous writing, what’s not to love? In fact, you can read my whole review HERE. So obviously when they announced the Space Academy DLC, I was already with my astronaut ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
I’ve been playing Kukoos: Lost Pets for a good while now, and I’m shockingly surprised with how much I have been enjoying the experience. Kukoos is a platforming adventure game in the vein of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, which is widely considered one of the best side scrolling platformers in history. Kukoos is packed with levels and interesting concepts and ideas, and it all works together ...

The Great Lighthouse that once protected the Archipelago is broken and a storm of malice and corruption is coming. Together, you and your ship mate will jump aboard ...
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 ...
As I stated in my review of the campaign for Modern Warfare II, I typically don’t show up for COD to play multiplayer, I’m typically focused on the narrative and campaign. But obviously since I was reviewing this game, I of course had to give it a fair chance and put in through the ringer…or put myself through the ringer, in the process I had ALOT of fun. This year’s iteration of ...
Every year I typically look forward to the new Call of Duty campaign, I’m typically not into these games for the multiplayer although I know most people are. I always look forward to some great shooter action, supreme gun play and shooting mechanics. With all the hype/build up for MWII could it possibly live up to the expectation? Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare II is the sequel to 2019’s blockbuster Modern ...
When Re:Verse was first unveiled, I had hope. Seemed like a good concept, with characters we love on the boom of a battle royale game fest, where everyone was doing something like this. However as this continued to get pushed back and back further, I started to be concerned….and honestly after getting my hands on it and playing it…it might have been better served later after they could improve on the ...

The Quarry is developed by Supermassive Games and was designed to be a spiritual successor to Until Dawn. Both games are basically interactive movies that you control multiple characters and narratives and the choices you make (or don’t make) can drastically change the outcome of the story. Supermassive has also in recent years been the driving force behind the Dark Pictures Anthology games however I ...
How do you review Overwatch 2? Honestly, I’ve been wondering ever since I downloaded it. Is it fair to give a high score to a sequel that isn’t in any way a sequel, but just the same game in disguise? Is it fair to mark up excellent gameplay when the free-to-play system beneath it feels so dirty? More than that – this isn’t my first visit to Overwatch. I have a few hundred hours into it, ...
