The same complaint that a lot of annual sports video game franchises receive is (mostly) true with NASCAR Heat 5. This year’s game feels basically like a roster and car paint update compared to previous versions. The driving model feels a lot better — my cars don’t just spin with the slightest contact, and I’m finding it easier to get involved in drafts and pushes. The game also just looks better, though that could be because I’m playing this year’s…

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…

The pitch for “BlockQuest Maker” sells itself — it’s “Mario Maker” but for Zelda-like dungeons! Using “Minecraft” like graphics. The top-down dungeon explorer and creator has been on mobile for a couple of years, released on Nintendo Switch in 2019, and is now available on Xbox One. BlockQuest Maker’s mobile roots show in its console versions. From the way you choose new levels, to the way you acquire and spend the game’s currency, vote on levels and more — it…

The PS5 and the Xbox Series X are supposed to come out this year. With everything thats happening, they might not. But lets imagine that they do come out this year. Will I be buying these new consoles? Nope. Why not? The following is my personal opinion of next gen and why I’m not ready. Almost everyone seems to be excited for the PS5 and/or the Xbox Series X. I’m not excited at all. My interest is extremely low. So…

I am now the proud owner of an Xbox One X and a satisfied subscriber of Gamepass Ultimate.    So, what is it like jumping into the Xbox ecosystem from the outside, in 2020, at the tail end of the current generation? Pretty good, so far.   First, a brief look at my gaming history:   Born in 1985, I remember well opening up the NES for Christmas in 1990. Through the years, I’ve had at least one console each…

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.
