When I was told that Sonic Generations was the weakest part of this package, I let out an audible sigh. SEGA remasters are always met with these kinds of comments. I still feel the reactions to the Shenmue set. And yet the truth is Sonic X Shadow Generations really does prove that the best of the Blue Blue is ahead of him… and it took a game starring Shadow to prove it. Sonic Frontiers was brilliant, especially after all the…

Read MoreHarry Potter Quidditch Champions: Not as Fun as I would Have Thought
I have loved Harry Potter for as long as I can remember. I love books. I love movies. I love games. As a sports guy, I always enjoyed the idea of Quidditch, even if the sport itself seemed completely absurd. The thing is, to read about Quidditch and to play a game of Quidditch feels like two different things. I was willing to give this game a try, and thanks to Warner Bros. we got that opportunity over the past…

Capcom has another Fighting Collection on the way. A Tetris set is in the works too. This is awesome news. And I’m especially aware of it, because I’m working through the incredible Sonic Origins collection right now. First, Fighting Collection 2. Any set that includes the Power…

Read MoreStar Wars Outlaws Review
Star Wars Outlaws excels in its presentation. The game’s environments are beautifully rendered, capturing the iconic aesthetics of the Star Wars galaxy. From the bustling cityscapes of Mirogana to the desolate landscapes of Tosche Station, each location feels distinct and immersive. The vibrant color palette and attention to detail create a truly atmospheric experience. While the open-world exploration is enjoyable, the gameplay mechanics feel somewhat generic. Combat encounters, while visually impressive, lack the depth and variety that would ...
