Indiana Jones and the Great Circle came out on Sunday night. I’ve been playing it a lot since then and while I’m still very early on in the game, I wanted to talk about what I’ve played so far. Spoiler Warning here just in case! Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is out now on Xbox Series. I’ve been playing it since Sunday and I just had to write about it… This game is so great! Everything from the graphics…

Outrage! Calls of unfairness and exploitation! Broken features without a day one patch! This is Indiana Jones weekend for the privileged few and conversation has once more tipped towards early access. On the face of it, it’s a pretty obvious ploy. 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…

You saw it when the Game Awards announced its top nominees for 2024. There, hidden amongst AAA games from big name publishers. You saw the comments. “Balatro? Haven’t heard of it. 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…

Remember the PlayStation Vita? That was an awesome little device. Nobody bought it. Sony didn’t support it. Now Sony and Microsoft are working on new handhelds. We’re supposed to be excited.  This time it’ll be different, we’re told. There won’t be any dedicated software. It’ll all be stuff you can play just fine from the comfort of your home. Hell, most of it will be on the Switch 2, if that isn’t just a myth at this point. But THESE…

In a year that’s offering up Grand Theft Auto 6, Death Stranding 2, Avowed, Assassin’s Creed and a new Monster Hunter, Koei’s hack and slash series may not be an obvious GOTY contender. But the Dynasty Warriors: Origins demo paints a picture of a game hitting way above its budget roots. Listen, I know how it sounds. I’ve been playing the Dynasty Warriors games since I got the second one with my PS2. I love it, but it’s never pushed…

I’ve been dabbling in Farming Simulator for over a week now and while the game has a bunch of problems both on console and PC, I cannot help but continue to pick up the controller and maneuver my tractors around the map. I invest so much into Farming Simulator games because I know Giants Software will continue to work on the game for years to come. But I would be considered a super fan – should you invest? Listen, right…

Tetris Forever is out now. I’ve really been to play it since I have so much nostalgia for the series. Yesterday I got a copy of the game from Xbox and the joy I felt is hard to explain. I’ll try to explain it anyway. Here are my thoughts on Tetris Forever so far. Tetris Forever tells the story of Tetris, from the creation all the way till now. Its presented in a timeline setup that reminds me a lot…

Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D is available now! This new release remakes the classic Dragon Quest game in the HD-2D style. I’m a big fan of this graphical style. I enjoyed it a lot with Octopath Traveler 2, Triangle Strategy and Live A Live. Also I’m a huge Dragon Quest…

When I was told that Sonic Generations was the weakest part of this package, I let out an audible sigh. SEGA remasters are always met with these kinds of comments. I still feel the reactions to the Shenmue set. And yet the truth is Sonic X Shadow Generations really does prove that the best of the Blue Blue is ahead of him… and it took a game starring Shadow to prove it. Sonic Frontiers was brilliant, especially after all the…
