One of the most successful Japanese hack-and-slash franchises in history, Devil May Cry is back with its latest installment, Devil May Cry 5. Known for its style-focused combat and cutting edge graphics, the DMC series has long been a staple of console gaming. Can its most recent title find success in a gaming market that has largely moved away from the genre? Let’s take a closer look!

The co-host of the recent Switch Indie Showcase, Katie Casper, recently talked to the developers of some of those upcoming games. Check out the video below to see what happened! Some of these indie games look really! I’m especially interested in Cuphead and possibly Creature in the Well. Which of these indie games are you interested in?…

What do Steamworld Quest, Final Fantasy X/X-2, Cuphead, Final Fantasy 12, and Darksiders Warmastered Edition all have in common? They are all coming to (or already out on) the Nintendo Switch this month!! April is a crazy month for the Nintendo Switch. What are the games I’m looking forward to, what are the games I’ll have skip, and should we expect any more surprise games for this month?! April is here and there are…way too many games coming to the…

Another spring season means another year of Major League Baseball, and outside of death and taxes, you can always count on a MLB The Show experience to go along with opening day. While many sports franchises rise and fall between safe bet releases and games that push the envelope, MLB The Show has been on a steady rise for a number of years now. While 2019 marks their most ‘safe’ release in the last number of year, there is still…

I've always been a sucker for RTS style games and even the worst titles have a hold on me that I cannot always describe. When the chance to review Warparty came across my desk, I was excited about the prospect. While there is definietly more issues with Warparty than I would have liked, ultimately I enjoyed what was provided. Understand my enjoyment as a crazed-RTS fan might not meet your standards. As a friend of mine stated after playing, "This is a hard pass for me." Let's dive in.

Final Fantasy 7 was first released on the Playstation 1. Since then, a port of it has appeared on the PC, Playstation 4, and elsewhere. The game has never appeared on a Nintendo console…until now. Final Fantasy 7 is now available on the Nintendo Switch eshop. How does the game hold up on the Nintendo’s handheld console? Here is my review of Final Fantasy 7 for the Nintendo Switch. Final Fantasy 7 for the Playstation 1 has a lot of…

Do you remember Shadow of the Colossus? Its the game where you have to climb giants and defeat them! What if you took that idea and turned it into a 2D action shooter? You might have Mechstermination Force for the Nintendo Switch! But would you have a good game? Mechstermination Force is an 2D action shooter that has you facing off against giant robots/creatures. Each “level” is a giant boss fight and thats it. This boss fights are beyond epic…

A number of people are dropped on an island with varying terrain that is strewn with a random assortment of weapons. Their goal is simple – be the last one alive. What comes to mind when you read this? I highly doubt that many of you are picturing a book released in Japan 20 years ago. Perhaps there are few of us left who remember the iconic novel, Battle Royale (Batoru Rowaiaru in the original Japanese version), published back in…

I like Mega Man but I’m not a die hard fan of the franchise. If there wasn’t another Mega Man game made tomorrow, I’d be ok. I thought it was cool that Capcom did another Mega Man game, though I felt no need to rush out and buy it. So when Metagal, an obvious Mega Man clone, was offered to me as a review game, I was interested but not too excited. And now that I’ve played the game, what…

For a game that received so much hype upon its release, with a large number of big-name streamers playing it, we have heard very little about World War 3 in the months following. I decided to take a follow-up look at the game to see the state of play in 2019. Can it shake the pre-launch hype curse, or will it be just another victim of over-excitement and under-performance? Let’s take a look!
