Armikrog Review
You know what? I miss Skullmonkeys. Granted, I miss The Neverhood, too, as it really represented the fine craftsmanship of Doug Tennapel (co-creator of Earthworm Jim) and his team at, well, The Neverhood. But Skullmonkeys was more fun for me, as it was an uncommon platformer with lots of kooky action, and a pleasant theme that carried over with ease from the original point-and-click Neverhood.
Yo-Kai Watch 2: Bony Spirits/Fleshy Souls Review
Confession time: I wasn’t the greatest of fans of the original Yo-Kai Watch when it debuted a while ago. That’s not to say I hated the game by any means, but I couldn’t quite get into the vibe that it was offering. Regardless, a lot of people certainly did, and the next thing you know, Nintendo had an international cash cow on its hands.
Slain: Back From Hell Review
I’m always one to cheer on a great throwback game, especially one that seems inspired by something from the days of old. That’s definitely the vibe I got when I first put my hands on Slain: Back From Hell, Wolf Brew Games’ alternate take on what Castlevania would be like in the here and now.
Bill and Ted’s Most Excellent Collection Review
Back in the 80’s, we took a lot of things for granted with films – like time travelling in a DeLorean, realizing that vampires can come from Santa Clara, and, yes, that an alien can use a Speak and Spell to call his home. The Bill and Ted movies are kind of like that, following a young Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter as two dunderheads that not only travel through time, but also get killed and ...[Read More]
BoxBoxBoy Review
A little while back, HAL Laboratory – the team behind the charming Kirby games – delivered with a unique property known as BoxBoy, combining puzzle solving with simple black-and-white design, creating a unique 3DS experience as a result. Now, the team is back with a whole new follow-up, and, surprise, it stacks up just as well.
F1 2016 Review
There are F1 die-hards that eat up the Codemasters yearly games like candy, mainly because they’re the best simulations around. But last year’s F1 2015 left a lot to be desired, not only because of some nag-worthy issues, but also because the game slammed the door on anyone trying to get involved for the first time. It was like a party made for the truly elite, with everyone else getti...[Read More]
Transformers: The Movie 30th Anniversary Edition Review
For the most part, a lot of fans may have experienced Transformers through probably the worst way possible – Michael Bay’s quartet of over-produced, under-written CGI-laden adventures. But, of course, true fans know that the experience began in the 80’s with the animated series, as well as the animated film that made its way into cineplexes in 1986. It didn’t generate millions of...[Read More]
ReCore Review
Back on the PlayStation 2, we couldn’t get enough of adventurous platforming games, ones that defined what adventure could be introduced with the right development team. Even stuff that didn’t quite measure up to, say, Crash Bandicoot or Spyro the Dragon, like Vexx and Klonoa 2: Lunatea’s Veil, did its part in fulfilling different journeys for players looking for them.
NHL 17 Review
As fun as NHL 15 was a couple of years ago, it was a painful example of what happens when you try to rush a game to the finish line. While the core game had its moments, a number of features that made the series strong over the past few years were notably absent for some time, before being added via patch.
Drawful 2 Review
When the Jackbox Party Pack came out a few years ago, I assumed everyone would be flocking to it for the newest entry of You Don’t Know Jack. But the developers at Jackbox Games are full of surprises. Not only did it generate a great party game with Fibbage, but it also introduced Drawful, a hilarious take on the classic Pictionary where friends could draw images to complement a suggestion, ...[Read More]
Road House: Collector’s Edition Review
Ah, the 80’s – a time when a guy could control a small town with a number of thugs and a whole lot of persuasion. No, I’m not talking about Donald Trump, I’m talking about Brad Wesley (Ben Gazzara), a ne’er-do-well that has no trouble ruling a small Missouri city with an iron fist. Little does he know, however, that Swayze’s James Dalton just strolled into town…
Call of Duty: Zombies In Spaceland Impressions
While not every Call of Duty player is a fan of Zombies, the mode has certainly come a long way since its initial introduction in World At War, challenging players to survive throngs of the undead while unlocking new areas, weapons and other goodies. Infinity Ward decided to tackle the mode for the first time with its latest game, Infinite Warfare, and has chosen quite the era for it to take place...[Read More]
