Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales (PS4) Review
It’s been over a year since the 2018 smash hit Marvel’s Spider-Man, and Miles Morales has spent the time since then training under the watchful eye of Peter Parker as well as adjusting to moving to Harlem. After another great opening sequence (this time following the Spider-Men as they try to stop an escaping Rhino), Peter reveals to Miles that he’s going overseas with MJ to help...[Read More]
Immortals Fenyx Rising (Series X) Review
As of late, I’ve been on an open-world games kick, but as with everything else, it’s nice to have a variety of interests. Ubisoft Quebec’s Immortals Fenyx Rising caught my interest when the game was first announced in 2019 under the title Gods and Monsters. I found the trailer itself interesting and being familiar with the team behind it, I kept an eye out for a release date. Leading up to its rel...[Read More]
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla (PS5) Review
There are few things that get me as excited as seeing some of my favorite elements come together for a game. Enjoying the success of 2018’s God of War, and popular TV and Movies such as Vikings, Norsemen, and Thor: Ragnarok, it was inevitable that the Assassin’s Creed franchise would try their hand at understanding the monstrous brutes of the North. Adding in music in collaboration wit...[Read More]
Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty (Switch) Review
It’s no surprise that Nintendo dominated the gaming industry back in the day. Many of Nintendo’s practices became mainstays for the trade as a whole. Their success is thanks in part to their massively popular game library. Nintendo consoles are notorious for housing some of the greatest 2D platformers of all-time. Games like Super Mario Bros., Castlevania, and Mega Man come to mind. Nintendo...[Read More]

Watch Dogs Legion (Xbox One) Review
Over the last week, I’ve been exploring the city of London in Ubisoft’s latest game Watch Dogs Legion. Watch Dogs Legion is the third game in the Watch Dogs franchise; the series first released in 2014 with Watch Dogs and then saw a second game, Watch Dogs 2, in 2016. With 4 years having passed since the last game, a lot has changed and is going on in the world. Please note, this revie...[Read More]
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 (PS4) Remastered Review
I spent way more time than I would ever like to admit playing Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 on my PlayStation. I ultimately got so good at the game that I could regularly break the score multiplier on maxed tricks, and would do so well in the judged events that I would get lower scores because my previous runs were full of the same varied amount of tricks. It was disgusting, ...[Read More]
Spinch (Nintendo Switch) Review – Psychedelic Precision Platforming!
Platformers have been an immensely popular genre in gaming, dating all the way back to the 80s. While many are considered easy, many platformers prove to be incredibly challenging. This is partly thanks to their origins in the arcades. The harder the game was to beat, the more likely players would continue putting in their quarters. As the years went on, console platformers continued the difficult...[Read More]
WRC 9: World Racing Championship (PC) Review
Sometimes a race series will make a revolutionary technology jump between seasons. Formula One’s move from the 2.4 liter V8 to the 1.6L V6 between the 2013 and 2014 seasons could be considered one such example. Other changes reflect gradual evolution, combining subtle changes into an updated package. WRC 9 offers the latter type of change to their tried-and-true rally racing formula. Modest all-ar...[Read More]
Manifold Garden (Nintendo Switch) Review
It’s no surprise, to those that know me, that puzzle games are one of my favorite genres. Valve’s 2007 title Portal forever changed how this genre could be presented. Valve took the concept of challenging puzzle-solving and implemented it into a first-person perspective. That game stole many gamers hearts, myself included. Since Portal’s initial release, various developers have taken a simil...[Read More]
Double Kick Heroes (PC) Review
Double Kick Heroes shouldn’t work nearly as well as it does. It’s a side-scrolling shooter pitting the last heavy metal band on earth against hordes of zombies, demons, and other end-of-days menaces. The story campaign is only a few hours long, and the player’s vehicle is basically on rails for most levels, but by adding in a mixture of Rock Band style rhythm mechanics and user-created track optio...[Read More]
Goblin Slayer: Goblin’s Crown (Anime) Review
Goblin Slayer and his allies return for another bloody mission against the incredibly underestimated goblin menace. Is the movie as good (or as controversial) as the anime series?
