In the past I was never what you would consider a fan of rogue-like games. Dead Cells came and went without me really even acknowledging it’s existence. Up until 2020 when a friend of mine could stop singing the praises of Hades, which took the gaming world by storm that year, and still to date is one of the best “indie” games I have ever played. Since then I realized I was honestly missing out on a satisfying game loop…

Read MoreWho Remasters the Remasters?
In the last few weeks, we’ve seen a very quick raft of releases of old games for new consoles, and not a single one has released without some issue, big or small. Just think about that for a second. Goldeneye, Tales of Symphonia. Hell, even the Blade Runner release from last year is still being fixed (which is admirable, but plays into my point here). There is clearly a demand for old games. There are entire communities of retro fans…
Read MoreOddBallers Review
Ubisoft seems to be in the news a lot lately, from plunging stock values, delays of Skull and Bones again, and now the semi-flawed release of their newest title OddBallers. Now let me start all this off by saying Ubisoft is one of my absolutely favorite developer/publisher teams out there. I am a massive fan of Watchdogs, Far Cry, The Division, Etc etc. I think they get a lot of heat for putting out many good, not GREAT, games. Does…

Read MoreWhen a Game’s a Game (Not a Film)
With all the talk about The Last of Us, and the popularity of “film-like” games, it’s got me to thinking. When is a game a game? What basic elements of interactivity create something that just can’t be chopped up and placed into another medium? Ironically, the game that made me start thinking of this was Telling Lies. On the surface, it’s about as filmic as you can get. You scrub through actual video, clicking words in the subtitles to find…
Read MoreTwo Point Campus Space Academy Review
Last year one of my most enjoyable gaming experiences was getting to review Two Point Campus, as a big fan of Two Point Hospital and Theme Hospital before it way back in the day this was a no brainer. The gameplay is fun, relaxing tone, humorous writing, what’s not to love? In fact, you can read my whole review HERE. So obviously when they announced the Space Academy DLC, I was already with my astronaut ice cream and tang! Space…
Read MoreCan We Stop With the “Adaption Curse”?
The Last of Us is a TV show now, and a million websites have declared it the end of the Video Game adaption curse. But at this point it’s just a talking point. This article won’t touch on The Last of Us – I’m not watching it until the series is finished – but instead on the hype around every new video game adaption as finally “breaking the curse”. It happened with Sonic, it happened with Mortal Kombat and it…
