Digimon 02: The Beginning Review
The premiere of Digimon Adventure 02 was a highly anticipated event for me as a kid. It would not be hyperbole to say that this particular season was on par with my excitement for the opening of The Phantom Menace the previous summer. Every weekend for years, I would rush to the TV to see what adventures Tai, Matt, and the rest of the DigiDestined would be getting into. As a result, I was shocked ...[Read More]
Resident Evil 4 & Separate Ways Remake Review
Since 2005, I have continuously heard how Resident Evil 4 is the best game in the Resident Evil franchise and potentially one of the best video games ever created. With such high praise, there is curiosity about what makes the game so excellent and does it actually live up to expectations. In 2012, I attempted to give Resident Evil 4 a chance after enjoying Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil: Opera...[Read More]
Crymachina (PS5) Review
Humanity isn’t a person or a thing but an expression and an identity. What makes someone human can be held by many definitions and contexts. At this moment in time, there is much inhumanity on the world stage, but somehow, despite it all, we are learning to be more human. At a time of rising artificial intelligence, learning how to be human is quintessential to the future. This is the world we fin...[Read More]
High on Knife (PlayStation 5) Review
Last year, Squanch Games released their 4th, and most ambitious, title High on Life. Critical reception seemed mixed and ultimately boils down to the player’s sense of humor. The game’s humor very much borrowed inspiration from Justin Roiland’s Cartoon Network show Rick & Morty. Nearly 10 months after launch, Squanch Games released High on Knife, a standalone DLC pack that continues the ...[Read More]
AntStream Arcade Premium (Xbox Series X) Review
At the tail end of 2022, I had the privilege to review Atari 50, which was quite possibly the best compilation to date. While game compilations are something that has been around for decades, subscription services are the industry’s newest way to drip-feed content to gamers. Services like Xbox’s Game Pass and Sony’s PlayStation Plus Premium, have been successful in offering large catalogs of...[Read More]
Everspace 2 (PlayStation 5) Review
The best sequels obey a simple formula: give players more of what they loved from the first game, and less of what they found tedious and frustrating. By that measure alone, Everspace 2 is a solidly successful sequel.
El Paso, Elsewhere Review – Eternal Darkness of the Spotless Mind
Self reflection is a core element of understanding one’s self especially as we experience the ebb and flow of life. Through the natural highs and lows, games like El Paso, Elsewhere is a reminder that keeping your head just above the water is better than sinking into the depths of misanthropy, apathy, and general disassociation. A shooter that acts as a metaphor for closure and the elements that m...[Read More]

This innovative game combines elements of both genres, creating a unique and thrilling gaming experience that is sure to captivate players.

2023 E-Win Champion Series Gaming Chair Review
When thinking of gaming peripherals, most tend to think of controllers, headsets, or monitors. An often overlooked aspect is the seat in which we use. Many gamers opt for cheaply priced chairs or office-style seats. There are, however, many companies that have gamers, or those who spend long hours seated, in mind, offering more premium options. Having previously manufactured sports car seats, E-Wi...[Read More]
AEW Fight Forever (Xbox Series X) Review
When it comes to wrestling games, the WWE franchise is undeniably the leader. Although they took a break a few years ago to reevaluate their games, their triumphant comeback in 2022 was nothing short of amazing. Meanwhile, AEW is challenging the current champion with a team made up of wrestlers from previous titles. As in real life, the outcome of the game is up for grabs and anyone’s guess....[Read More]
Remnant II Review
For years we have taken every game that is remotely difficult and compared it to the beloved FROMSOFTWARE title–Dark Souls. Of course, there is more to it than that but there are basic mechanics that are constantly shared across this punishing genre, leaving us to draw this incredibly lazy line of comparison. It always results in “It is Dark Souls with…” every chance we get. With Gunfire Games’ la...[Read More]
Warhammer Boltgun Review
The Warhammer games have been gaining a larger presence in the past decade. The tabletop scene has been going strong but the gaming scene has gotten even stronger. 2011’s Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine brought the dark future of Warhammer 40,000 to many gamers. Since then, various titles have launched, bringing their own take on the larger universe. Space Hulk recreates the classic tabletop in an ...[Read More]
