Back when the Summer Game Fest Demo Event was going on with Xbox, I had a hard time keeping up with what was being offered. Part of it was pure laziness, part of it was I really didn’t know where to begin considering all of the demos available for a short period of time. So I reached out to my audience and said, alright folks pick out a bunch of games and I will play through them and stream them.…

The Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time demo is now available for anyone who preordered the game to take Crash for a spin — yes, pun intended — and what an entertaining spin it is.   The demo comes with three levels: Snow Way Out, Dino Dash and Ship Happens, each from mid-game. Ship Happens is a side level from Snow Way Out that lets you play as Dr. Cortex, before lining back up with the Snow Way Out timeline…

The remake of the first two Tony Hawk Pro Skater games — recently released on Xbox One and PS4 — continues the recent Activision trend of stellar updates of classic games from the 1990s. This package, more than any remake or remaster in recent memory, speaks almost directly to me. The original games were among my favorites on the original PlayStation.   Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2 perfectly captures the memories and feelings of playing the originals. The ...

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles is a spin-off/companion game outside the main Final Fantasy series. Released in 2003 for the Nintendo GameCube, it marked the first return of Final Fantasy to a Nintendo console since Final Fantasy VI.

Gear.Club Unlimited 2’s new Endurance race expansion turns the game into something that, until now, just hasn’t been available on the Nintendo Switch. Finally, sim racing fans have an actual option on the hybrid handheld console.   That’s not to say that the Gear.Club Unlimited sequel is a sim racer. The game is still largely the same in terms of structure: it feels a lot like a mobile racing game, with a defined progression track, a piecemeal upgrade ...

Gear.Club Unlimited – Tracks Edition will include all the content available in Gear.Club Unlimited 2 and will focus on a racing experience closer to a real motorsport competition: pit stops, tires and fuel management, race strategy… On top of all the already available tracks, players will be able to take on the challenging circuit of the most prestigious racing event: the 24 hours of Le Mans! From the qualifying session to the race strategy, racers will ...

As a gamer we are often analyzing the value of a game by it’s length. We want the most bang for our buck, however at times games can overstay their welcome and become a fetch-quest driven chore of a time to complete. Giraffe and Annika is not that type of game, it is a charming fairy tale of an adventure game that can be beaten in 6 hours or less. A magical, mystery-filled adventure awaits! When a young girl named …

Golf, I would propose, is the real-life sport best-suited to translate into a video game. The sport’s electronic history dates back more than 40 years, and has had its share of highs and lows. The latest simulation golf game, PGA Tour 2K21, is unequivocally one of the best representations of playing a round of golf. It’s also a game more than seven years and four games in-the-making. Developer HB Studios released its first The Golf Club game in 2014, and…

The year is 2020, the world is in a very strange place. While we mostly remain home being safe we find comfort in things we might normally not. Some pop culture experiences gained alot of traction due to our starvation for entertainment (see: Tiger King). Fall Guys is the best game to happen at the best time.     The gaming industry is FULL of various Battle Royale style games :(Fortnite, Apex, Rogue Company, COD, Etc) did we really need…
