We Were Here Forever (PC) Review – It Takes Two
Over the last decade, gaming companies around the globe have slowed down the production of local co-op games. In fact, many gamers did not fully grasp this shift to online co-op play until the start of the pandemic. This change from local co-op to online co-op can easily be seen with the elimination of split-screen campaigns (Halo Infinite). So why the change? Many companies realized that it’...[Read More]
Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Review
In 2008, Gears of War Creator coined the phrase “bigger, badder, and better” to describe the sequel to his earth-shattering milestone of a game. For me, that has been the definitive term to describe the sequels in all aspects of media. Following an overwhelmingly successful first installment, director Jeff Flower is back for Sonic The Hedgehog 2. For Sonic The Hedgehog, and the sequel Sonic The He...[Read More]
Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga Review (Xbox) – May the Force be with You!
Rockers, it’s time. Jedi Justin Timberlake has all prepared us for one of the best months of the year. In April, he stated, “It’s Going to be May!” For most nerds, geeks, and pop-culture enthusiasts, May is a special month. At the beginning of the month, many celebrate the Star Wars fandom.

Ghostwire Tokyo (PlayStation 5) Review
Last year saw the first of the timed PlayStation 5 console exclusives in Sony and Bethesda’s agreement, Deathloop. When Microsoft purchased Bethesda Softworks, and their parent company Zenimax Media, back in 2020, many speculated if their prior obligations would be affected. Needless to say it’s business as usual, as the latest title from Tango Gameworks just launched on March 25th! Tango Gamework...[Read More]
Atelier Sophie 2 (Switch) Review
The Atelier games have a long history of being a popular Japanese RPG series, so it is to no one surprise to know that it’s been around here for 25 years. With 23 games in the series already and many more planned titles coming in the near future. To celebrate this amazing accomplishment, the developer Gust has decided to continue the story of one of its previous alchemists in the series, the...[Read More]
Taiko no Tatsujin: The Drum Master! (Xbox One) Review
I love rhythm games. As a drummer from middle school to the present, I incorporated rhythm games in my game rotation in some shape or form to help me understand rhythmic patterns and concepts. My main game is Rock Band on Expert (of which I own the longest videogame marathon on Rock Band Guinness World Record – 27 hrs, 45 min, 20 sec), and yes I love to play the drums. No this is not a humbl...[Read More]

Grapple Dog (Nintendo Switch) Review
There was excitement and thrill. There was a cavalcade of emotions when I popped in my favorite platformer into my Genesis back in the day, of course, that platformer was the famous Blue Blur himself, Sonic The Hedgehog. I couldn’t wait for the colors, the speed, the sounds, the levels, the sheer color of it all. Jungles, caves, temples, all running as fast as humanely possible while saving ...[Read More]
IKAI (PC) Review – Fear in the Tales of Japanese Folklores
I can be honest; I was nervous when I decide to check out this game because horror games and myself don’t do well. However, IKAI is a whole new level of horror game. Sometimes in life, we have to face our fears once in a while, so I had the opportunity to get an early look and review of IKAI, which was developed by Endflame, and published through PM Studios Inc. This is the first game title ...[Read More]
Chorus (Xbox Series X) Review
Space shooters were once a dime a dozen, and I fondly remember the days when one out of every so many games was a spaceship shooter. Warm memories of flying around in space in games like Colony Wars and Darklight Conflict are brought up when I see a new spaceship combat game. Even titles like Star Trek: Invasion provided such enjoyable memories as well, flying inside a Borg cube in a Federation co...[Read More]
Dying Light 2 (Xbox Series X) Review
Over the years, we’ve had many “end of the world as we know it” games. One that comes to mind, is Techland’s franchise Dying Light, which I first got to check out the game back in 2015. I enjoyed the concept behind it, as well as becoming friends with the main character’s voice actor Roger Craig Smith. Even the multiplayer side of the first game, and its DLC, provided...[Read More]
