In this modern age of gaming where remakes and remasters are a standard, ONE SPONGE stands alone (not really Patrick and Sandy are there too) to try and breath life again into the platformers of yesteryear? But does this one get the job done or does SpongeBob just leave us all wet? The original game was developed for PS2, Xbox, and Nintendo GameCube back in 2003 believe it or not. While a major commercial success, overall reviews were middling at…

So the Indie world showcase has come and gone, here is a breakdown of what was announced. Overall I think a decent showing with a few standouts but nothing earth shattering right now. Clearly some great filler games coming this year with almost all of them coming to Switch console first.

I have many fond memories growing up of going to the lake with my fishing pole and tackle box, and spending an afternoon hanging out with a friend, trying to catch fish. Fishing for me was more about spending time outdoors with friends and family than about catching dinner, but the rush of catching a fish added to the experience.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX is another in a long line of Nintendo games to feature unnecessarily long titles. But long story short this is a remake of 2005 games on the Gameboy Advance: Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team and Red Rescue Team. While visually the game is VERY different than its predecessor, featuring a hand drawn and painted art style, mega evolution, auto mode and such. The mechanics of the game go largely unchanged. But I am…

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!

The release of Darksiders Genesis was a huge departure for the franchise, abandoning the traditional third-person action game format and opting instead for top-down gameplay. While this change, by itself, may not seem very significant, it does raise certain questions about the current landscape of gaming. More specifically, Darksiders' new style puts a giant question mark over future single-player action/adventure titles and how they will adapt to the ever-changing gaming environment.
