Little Dragons Cafe (Switch) Review
Growing up I’ve played my fair share of Harvest Moon games, but sadly they wouldn’t keep me interested for long. Even with games such as Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons I couldn’t find why I should keep playing. Now fast forward to the Nintendo Switch and Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons creator, Yasuhiro Wada brings us the game Little Dragons Café. Little Dragons Café is also bei...[Read More]
Cosmic Star Heroine (Switch) Review
Is this retro indie title more style than substance? Zeboyd Games has a history of bring a love of old school JRPG style to their indie games. I experienced this firsthand when I got a chance to play their comedy RPG Cthulhu Saves the World. Now they’ve brought that to their most ambitious title, one I’m only experiencing for the first time on the Switch. And what a treat it’s be...[Read More]
Echogear Dual Monitor Desk Mount Review
For quite some time I was mainly a single screen owner when it came to desktop computers. I owned a 23″ Asus monitor and that was about it. I had to mix in gaming and every day work and running Marooners’ Rock on a normal basis. I normally had my desk cluttered with random games, plushies, business cards, and streaming hardware—even to the point where I had to use my phone to see chat ...[Read More]
Moonlighter (PS4) Review
Created by 11 Bit Digital and Digital Sun Moonlighter is an attempt at crossing Action RPGs, rogue-lites, and shopkeeping simulators. While an interesting concept and entertaining, “Moonlighter” soon loses its novelty after about five or ten hours of gameplay.
BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle (PS4) Review
After seeing massive success with Dragon Ball FighterZ, Arc Systems Works has been working furiously behind the scenes creating not just a new BlazBlue title, but one with many, many guests. Bringing together the universes of Person 4: Arena, RWBY, BlazBlue, and Under Night In-Birth, BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle is looking for a fight, even if it doesn’t have the muscle to back it up. Going into Bla...[Read More]
Vampyr Review: Vampire Simulator 2018
In early 2017 a trailer dropped for a game that involved vampires. We had no idea what it was, but everyone can agree it looked cool. It was so cool, in fact, that the developers decided to change the spelling from Vampire to Vampyr (Yes, it’s pronounced like “vampire”, and not “vamp-eer” as I initially thought). Back at E3 2017, I was fortunate enough to see a live d...[Read More]
Light Fall Review (PC)
Forget your fixed platforms. Drop your double-jumps. Put away your portals. There’s a new action star in town, and he carries everything he needs right in a neat box of tricks called the Shadow Core. His name is Nox, and he’s the star of Light Fall, the innovative platformer from indie developer Bishop Games.
Just Shapes & Beats Review
Over the past few years, I’ve kept a keen eye on the game called Just Shapes & Beats from the team at Berzerk Studio. I first got the chance to learn about Just Shapes & Beats at the Indie Games Live at PAX East Party, which as for the year had to be at least 2015. While checking out tons of awesome indie games one game out of the few that caught my eye was Just Shapes & Beats. O...[Read More]
Ys Origin (Xbox One) Review
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]
Predator Galea 500 Headset Review
Gaming headsets are a beast to look into. Finding one that will provide the features and quality desired, looks cool, is comfortable to wear, and at the right price can take some serious retail prowess. There are so many options that in my own searches I’ve turned to reviews to help narrow down my search. My own hunts have turned up plenty of options, but not many will have reliable reviews ...[Read More]
Predator Cestus 500 Mouse Review
While the PAX show floor is the main event, PAX doesn’t end when the show floor closes. There are plenty of events to attend. Various studios, companies, and groups host parties where people can mingle, get free swag, play games, and perhaps even score some free food or drinks. The MR team was invited to attend one hosted by ACER, specifically to show off their Predator line of products, including...[Read More]
Far Cry 5: Stupid Fun, But Wasted Potential
After the massive success of Far Cry 3, Ubisoft had set a high standard for any future installments, which led the mixed reception of Far Cry 4 as it didn’t change much from it’s predecessor. That being said, I’ve always seen the Far Cry franchise as the fun summer blockbusters of the gaming industry. They aren’t going to win Game of the Year, but gamers won’t deny that they had a blast with it. W...[Read More]
