Star Wars Unlimited: Twilight of the Republic Set Review

A few weeks ago, Asmodee Canada sent over another review box for the latest release of Star Wars Unlimited. This release, Twilight of the Republic, is focused on the Clone Wars, with the “focal” characters being General Grievous and Ahsoka Tano. The cards within are beautiful as always, featuring characters and scenes long time Clone Wars fans will instantly recognize. For some, the characters might seem odd and there is an inability to place them in the Star Wars timeline…

Colorado Board Game Review

Flip and write, roll and write…anything and write is something our gaming group really loves, and while Colorado seemed a bit complicated when reading through the rulebook, once our group got going we realized it was a very simple game with some really deep strategic elements. In a crowded genre, however, can Colorado stick out and stick around? Let’s take a look! In Colorado, players will be trying to create suited sets of cards numbered between 1-3. On their turn,…

Early Access and Indy: Here We Nearly Are Again

If you want to enjoy the latest game over the weekend, you have to pay a premium for it. If you want to be part of the initial conversation instead of nursing your FOMO from a distance, you have…

Botanicus Components Overview and Impressions

If a board game has plants or flowers my wife is definitely going to be interested in giving it a go – Botanicus is that kind of game, where you are planting flowers in your garden attempting to finish tasks and scoring the most points. Published by Asmodee, you knew there was going to be some environmentally conscious production decisions made, and they do not disappoint. A lot of games now are moving away from plastic baggies within the box,…

Colorado Components Overview and Impressions

Games about the wild west fascinate me more than anything else – well, perhaps with the exception of animal games – and when Asmodee Canada offered us the opportunity to review Colorado, I jumped at that chance. Colorado is a, kinda, flip and write experience where you are marking things off on your player board and the central board in an attempt to earn as many points as possible. As this is a writing game, all of the included boards…

9.0 Demon’s Souls

 

You may have heard that Demon’s Souls is pretty tough. That’s not entirely accurate. The truth is that Demon’s Souls is very, very simple. Everything about it is signposted.

And now, with the arrival of the remake on PS5, you have over ...

 

8.0 Walking Dead Season 2

 

Last year, Telltale elevated point and click games to a new level with their first season of the award-winning The Walking Dead. Creating a follow-up to that fantastic set of titles was a difficult task for Telltale, and they mostly succeeded. While there are moments of brilliance, season two doesn’t reach the level of excellence that season one was able to achieve.

 

6.5 NASCAR ’14

 

Racing games can generally be played in a variety of ways. While those that love Gran Turismo the most might play it as a simulator, it's just as easy to experience it as some approximation of Mario Kart, crashing into other vehicles on long bends or swinging onto the grass when necessary. NASCAR '14 is all about tight lines and clever driving, a fact that makes it both very playable and undoubtedly niche.

 

9.0 Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster

 

Cybernet was a video game focussed TV show here in the UK back when the PS2 launched. When they weren't showing and reshowing the opening of Metal Gear Solid 2, they were showing and reshowing clips from Final Fantasy X. Look at the graphics! Look at the characters! And, oh, they've got voices as well!

 

6.5 Pac-Man Museum

 

Video gaming's first yellow circular celebrity has turned 30 this year, and instead of getting trashed with friends Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde, he's taking a trip down memory lane, through the highlights (and low-lights) of his prestigious career.

 

6.5 Killer is Dead

 

Killer is Dead is a hard game to pin down. You play as an executioner for a government agency that hunts out murderers for the general public. It plays a little like something from Platinum, a third-person action game with an anime flair. That flair runs deeper than just the visual style though, and a unique fantastical twist makes it all the more unusual. Expect blood, whimsy, sex, adventure and intrigue.

6.0 Harry Potter Quidditch Champions:...

 

I have loved Harry Potter for as long as I can remember. I love books. I love movies. I love games. As a sports guy, I always enjoyed the idea of Quidditch, even if the sport itself seemed completely absurd. The thing is, to read about Quidditch and to play a game of Quidditch feels like two different things. I was willing to give this game a try, and thanks to Warner Bros. we got that opportunity over the ...

The biggest change to the Borderlands formula in Pre-Sequel - aside from the game's setting, which affects gameplay and aesthetics in a number of ways - are the game's character classes, all based on characters previously seen in the series. These new classes will still serve familiar roles on the battlefield

6.5 Animal Gods

 

Wii U indie games are starting to become a rare thing. Whenever a new Wii U game comes out, I find myself smiling and hoping that its a good game. Anmal Gods for Wii U came out last week. I have been playing it for review and I'm finally ready to share with what I thought of the game.

 

8.5 Back to Bed

 

One of the best things about Indies is that they are not afraid of being weird. Indies generally take more chances than third party developers and create games that are unique and interesting. Not all of these unique and interesting games are good, but I love how Indies are willing to experiment. Take, for instance, Back to Bed for Wii U. You would not see a third party, maybe not even a first party developer, ...

 

8.0 Plantera

 

If Harvest Moon and a cute 2D tower defense game had a love child, it might look like Plantera for the Wii U and 3DS eshops. Build a garden, add animals, and defend that garden like crazy from outside threats! Plantera sounds like it might be a good game for simulation and tower defense fans…but is it? The Wii U and 3DS versions of Plantera have some differences but the basic gameplay is the same between ...

 
 

4.0 Z-Run

 

To many people, the Playstation Vita is a system known best for only its Indies and its ports. When I saw the trailer for Vita Indie game Z-Run, I was shocked to find out it wasn't a port from a mobile game. With its poor visuals, simple Temple Run style gameplay and lack of depth, I was sure that Z-Run was a zombie re-skin of some dime-a-dozen endless runner, build for mobile technology and quickly ported to ...

 

8.5 Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc

 

Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc is a zany experience filled with boundless creativity. Developed by Spike Chunsoft (the studio responsible for similar games in the Zero Escape series), and originally released for the PSP all the way back in 2010, Danganronpa has spawned an anime and manga over in Japan before its port to the Vita this year; and it’s easy to see why.

 

8.0 Surge Deluxe

 

The match 3 puzzle genre has been lacking innovation as of late. Thankfully, Futurlab has an extraordinary habit of changing up the ‘norm’ and Surge Deluxe is certainly no exception!!

Tearaway is, simply put, a creative gem. It’s a game solely created to showcase the power of Vita’s hardware, and just how pleasant of an experience a videogame can be.

 

8.0 Street Fighter X Tekken

 

Street Fighter X Tekken was kind of a big deal when it was first announced, and perhaps even helped the Mortal Kombat remake to herald in a new wave of fighting titles. Along with its companion title, the long presumed dead Tekken X Street Fighter, Street Fighter X Tekken was going to combine two of the biggest names in fighting, dozens of the most recognisable characters, all within a blended style that meant ...

 

9.5 Persona 4 Golden

 

Atlus has always been known to deliver niche JRPG experiences; games that don’t sell well but are critical darlings. They have plenty of exceptional titles under their belt such as Catherine and Shin Megami Tensei IV, but Persona 4 is quite possibly their finest work yet. The fourth entry in the Persona series originally made its debut on the PS2 back in 2008. The game was met with immense critical reception, so ...

 
 

9.0 Yo-Kai Watch 3

 

Although the Yo-Kai Watch franchise is gaining some traction in the West - more so in Europe and less so in the United States and Canada - there are still many gamers and anime fans out there who know little, if anything, about the franchise itself. To them, the name Jibanyan and Whisper mean nothing, and if you mention the town of Springdale, most people are likely to ask, "Do you mean Springfield, like in the ...

In my preview for Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser's Jr's Journey I mentioned that I had never played Bowser's Inside Story before. So when it came time to do my review, I decided to not compare the game to the original. In fact, I decided to not compare the game to previous Mario & Luigi games at all. Basically I wanted to ask: Is Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr's Journey a good game(s)?

 

8.0 WarioWare Gold

 

I’ve been playing video games for a few decades now, and I’m ashamed to admit that I’ve never played a WarioWare game in my life. When the game launched a few weeks ago, I began watching video of our good friend Abdallah Smash, and instantly thought, “That looks like a lot of fun.” Well, now I have played it; what did I think? Let’s dive in!

 

9.5 Dragon Lapis

 

I’ve been enjoying Dragon Lapis for the 3DS a lot. Check out my preview of the game here. And now its time for my review of Dragon Lapis. Is this a 3DS rpg that you’ll want to download? I like how Dragon Lapis starts with a cutscene that gives us background into its world. As the game continues, we get a lot more world building and interesting plot twists. All of the characters in this game are ...

 

8.0 Detective Pikachu

 

Even if you are not a long time fan of the Pokémon franchise, there is one thing you probably do know: Pokémon don’t talk to humans and humans don’t talk to Pokémon. Sure, based on emotions of a Pokémon - or even their actions - a good trainer can determine what a Pokémon is thinking or feeling; but to actually talk to one? That is basically unheard of. So when we learned about the popular Japanese Detective ...

 

7.0 Machine Knight

 

There are not too many developers releasing 3DS eshop games at anymore. Most of the developers have switched over to the Switch. One of the developers that it is still putting out games for the 3DS is KEMCO. Their newest game for the system is called Machine Knight. It is a jrpg. What do I think of it? Read on to find out! Machine Knight has an interesting story, although I do wish it had a little less ...

8.5 Metal Slug Tactics

 

Metal Slug as always been a 2D side scrolling shooter…until now! Metal Slug Tactics is a reinvention of the classic franchise into a strategy game. Is this a good reinvention or should it have stayed a 2D shooter? Here’s our review! Metal Slug Tactics is a strategy game set in a worn-torn world. The story is briefly introduced in words and then the players finds themselves in a tutorial for the battles. There is ...

Over the past week, I have been doing a lot of two different things – playing EA FC 25 and reading previous reviews I’ve written for past soccer titles. And there is one constant across all the reviews I’ve written, at least for the last few years. And that constant is, if you are a hardcore fan of EA FC then purchase this year’s iteration; if you are a casual fan and you own last years game, just ...

Why the hell are they including a card game?” And frankly, it’s lucky for all involved that the Elden Ring DLC became a lighting rod for the really negative conversation this year. People got to take out their frustration on something not directly related to the games for the…

I’m a bit hot and cold on 3 in 1 sets – I think some are fantastic, particularly the houses you can get – but I find most of them don’t peak my interest like other LEGO sets do.

Hell, most of it will be on the Switch 2, if that isn’t just a myth at this point. But THESE…

Windmill Valley Components Overview and Impressions

If there is one thing I know as a person of Dutch descent, it is that there are a few things that you understand are “Dutch” in every way, shape and form. Wooden shoes, Sinterklaas, Dropies to name a few. And if none of that means anything to you, well I completely understand. Two other things that scream “Dutch”? Windmills and Tulips. When I saw Windmill Valley coming from Board and Dice, I knew it was something I needed to…
