I’m an 80s kid, so I have all the nostalgia for arcades, NES games, Ghostbusters and the rest. And so any game that wants to focus on that time period and revisit something of that era has my attention. Enter 198X! Its set in the 1980s and tells a story in a very unique way.

It's 2051. Earth is all but dead, an almost uninhabitable polluted mess of smog and tar. Remotely control space blasters from a dying Earth. Fight in epic space battles against all kinds of weird alien spacecraft. Rescue cute 'blastronauts' from alien capture. Wipe-out the alien forces and take-over their planet to give humanity a new home. Time is running out. Do you have what it takes to become the ultimate space blaster pilot and the saviour of the human race? That’s the story behind Super Mega Space Blaster Special Turbo (SMSBST).

What are some of the best selling indie games on the Nintendo Switch eshop? Nintendo has a new video that answers that question! I haven’t played most of the games in Nintendo’s new indie video. There are a couple I have played and really liked though, like Steamworld Quest and Wargroove! I still haven’t played Cuphead. I’m not sure if I’d like it. Yes, the graphics are excellent, but the game looks so very hard. Which of the games in…

The undisputed king of console FPS franchises, Call of Duty stands alone when it comes to online PvP shooters. While other series such as Destiny and Halo have had their moments in the arena of multiplayer FPS titans, none of them hold a candle to the success and longevity of CoD. While the series has sometimes strayed from its roots and gotten carried away (Advanced Warfare, anyone?), it inevitably self-corrects to the core gameplay that millions of us have come to know and love.

Star Fox has gotten a few installments. Nothing like the Mario franchise. Not even like the Metroid franchise. Its gotten more games than Earthbound anyway (what game hasn’t). But in my opinion, there has only been one great Star Fox game and thats the first game. Now its available on Nintendo Switch. Does this game still hold up? The first Star Fox game is the best Star Fox game. Yes, Star Fox 64 was pretty good. Star Fox 2, which…

Officially releasing next Tuesday, Gears 5 is the latest installment in the Gears of War franchise and the second title to be released since Microsoft acquired the rights to the franchise from Epic Games in 2014. With Gears of War 4 receiving mixed reviews, fans of the franchise (myself included) were holding their collective breath, if not their high hopes, to see what time of experience we could expect out of Gears 5. Let me tell you that I couldn’t have seen it coming in a million years.
