Nickelodeon, a major part of most people’s childhoods of a certain generation. Myself, I was a bit older but still enjoyed some of the original Nicktoons like Doug, Rocko’s Modern Life, Ren + Stimpy, etc etc. Over the years they have done numerous mash-up games such as Nicktoons Unite (which was awesome), Sports games, racing games, and yes even racing sequels like this one. Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 is just what you think it is, a typical kart ...

Crash Bandicoot 4 continues Activision’s string of resurrecting old IP into something that feels both fresh and familiar. The game — developed by Spyro Reignited devs Toys for Bob — strikes the perfect chord between throwing back to the original trilogy and adding new bells and whistles to differentiate the experience.   In Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, Crash and Coco are sent on an adventure to track down four masks before Dr. Cortex and fellow ...

As we officially kick-off “Spooky Season” this is a fantastic time of year to play those games that creep us out, give us jump scares, or just give us anxiety. I have always been a fan of games that creep me out or make me nervous. My first experience with a horror game dates all the way back to 1989 on my NES, after having my tonsils taken out my parents took me to Toys R’ Us (RIP) and let…

Now and then a game comes out that you know you’re going to love. And when it finally releases, it’s even better than you’d hoped. Supergiant Games’ most recent release, Hades, is exactly that kind of game for me. It takes some of my favorite parts of past Supergiant games, improves on them, and adds my favorite roguelike implementation in any game. I adore each of the developer’s games and count Transistor and Bastion in-particular among my favorite games ...

We all know about Just Dance, it’s been a major mainstay in the gaming world since 2009. It’s been on every single console since then, and some even long after they are “dead”. I’ve seen demonstrations at every gaming and entertainment tradeshow, demos in stores, ads on youtube, hell we would even look forward to the extravagant dance numbers each E3. But have we stopped to think about what Just Dance could mean for kids in ...

At the beginning of “The Last Campfire,” I had a nagging sense of deja vu. The main character — Ember — looks like he’d belong in the 2012 indie megahit “Journey,” while the art style, storybook narration and music feel like an indie game playbook.   Cutesy artwork; bright colors; melancholy story; understated soundtrack; mysterious narrative; and so-on. In some ways, it’s hard to believe this game comes from the same studio that created No Man’s Sky and ...
