The sweet smell of grass in the spring. Flowers starting to bud and bloom. The crisp evening air. The crack of a baseball bat, and the roar of the crowd. It’s Springtime — well, in any other year than 2020. And in MLB The Show 20, it’s still baseball season. In many ways, this year’s Show builds upon the games that have come before it. It features roughly the same gameplay and roughly the same modes, just fine-tuned for another…

TT 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 MorePlaying MLB The Show 20 during a pandemic (First Impressions)
I am a believer that the circumstances in which you play a game can greatly influence your impressions of a game. The day I was given access to MLB The Show 20 — thanks, Sony! — I found out that the school district I live and work in would be closing for the foreseeable future due to the coronavirus, COVID-19. This was also the day after I tore my meniscus, which will require a surgery that I probably won’t get…
Read MoreE3 2020 has been Cancelled
There will be no E3 2020 convention this year. We have more details below. E3 2020 has officially been cancelled due to Coronavirus concerns.

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 MoreFinal Fantasy 7 Remake Demo Impressions
Square Enix released a demo for the Final Fantasy 7 Remake this morning. I’ve played the demo now and have some thoughts on it! When I woke up this morning, I did not think to myself “Today is the day I get to play a demo of the Final Fantasy 7 remake.” For me, it was average boring morning. Then, I looked on twitter and saw that a Final Fantasy 7 Remake demo had been released. I downloaded it right…
Read MoreDarksiders Genesis Review
In a major departure from the rest of the franchise, Darksiders Genesis is a top-down, button-mashing action game that follows War and Strife, two of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. While the series has received much praise for its storyline, humour and simple but addictively fun gameplay – there was much uncertainty around how the new top-down style would translate to the franchise. Will this major change be a smooth transition or will it detract from an already stellar series? Let’s take a look and find out!
Read MoreWhere to Play Two Point Hospital Console Version
I've been playing Two Point Hospital over the last two days on three different platforms: the Nintendo Switch (docked), the Nintendo Switch Lite, and the Xbox One. The ultimate decision I was trying to make was which platform I preferred playing this game on. While each have their advantages, I think I've broken down how consumers can go about picking the best version for themselves. Lets dive in!

At face value Dreams has you take control of an “imp”, basically your avatar that is used to interact with the environment in Dreams, it can be used to move objects, possess characters to take control of them, use as basically a mouse to help create stages, so on and so forth. Media Molecule has various…
