Welcome back old friend. Trials Rising takes everything that was great about Trials, and presents it in a gorgeous, fuel-induced, tricked-out, non-stop fun fest that will have new and old players laughing, raging, and saying “Just one more time” over and over again.
Throughout gaming’s history there always seemed to be a need for a “console mascot.” Sega had Sonic and Nintendo had Mario. As more consoles entered the market it became clear that not every console needed a mascot, but that didn’t stop marketers from trying. Now I’m not saying that Crash Bandicoot was touted to be the PlayStation mascot, but it kind of felt like he was the PlayStation mascot. Whi...[Read More]
I have been a fan of the Call of Duty franchise for a long time. Some people relax by coloring, reading, or meditating. I relax by playing Call of Duty multiplayer games. For as long as I’ve been playing you would think I was a pro, but that’s just not true. I still manage to have a lot of fun and enjoy my sessions. Call of Duty: WWII went away from the futuristic, almost Titanfall-esque style of ...[Read More]

Going into Bla...[Read More]
Let me start by getting this out of the way: I’ve been pronouncing Ys wrong for OVER 20 YEARS. That’s a long time. Apparently it’s pronounced Yeese, like “geese” and I’ve been pronouncing it like “wise.” Now that that’s out of the way, let’s begin. Ys has a LONG history of games spanning decades of home consoles. It debuted back in 1987 on the PC and has graced many home consoles: NES, SNES, Plays...[Read More]
A good side-scrolling beat ‘em up is hard to come by these days. We were given Castle Crashers, Scott Pilgrim vs The World: The Game and Charlie Murder. Now in 2018, Fully Illustrated has given us Wulverblade, a self-described “…visceral, cinematic, side-scrolling beat-em-up.” Does this bloody, yet educational, side-scroller live up to its own hype? Or does it slip on its own bloody footprin...[Read More]
As someone who grew up in Southern California, Disneyland was a regular thing for me. In fact, I worked at Disneyland for about 5 years. So, when the original Kinect: Disneyland Adventures was released, you can be sure it was a day-one purchase for me. I only played Kinect: Disneyland Adventures using the Kinect, so when I saw that the game was being overhauled and remastered with 4K HDR graphics ...[Read More]

Wow, 2017 has already seen some amazing old-school platformers. Yooka-Laylee came out strong despite its faults, and just recently we were treated to the spectacle that is Super Mario Odyssey. While it’s no secret that indie developers and AAA studios alike are attempting comebacks with 3D platforming games, the current gaming market is becoming over saturated with shooters, racers, new consoles, ...[Read More]
