Lucky for me, I was granted a chance at the series (kinda) by reviewing Judgment for PS4, a new game from the same developers that takes place in the sam...[Read More]
Sonic Mania Plus (Switch) Review
There is no doubt that Sonic Mania was made by people who absolutely love Sonic and Sega. It’s a game that captures everything that players loved about the 16-bit days of the blue-blur and adds in just enough to make it feel all new. Sonic Mania exceeded the expectations of not only fans but also just about any player that tried out the game. Back in July, the game was expanded with two new charac...[Read More]
Yakuza Kiwami 2 Review: A Step Forward In The Franchise

Total War: Warhammer II Hands-On PAX West 2017
The Total War series has always been a series that has been on my radar, appealing to my interest in games like Civilization, Age of Empires, and Warcraft. Though still very much about war, it seemed like they were on a smaller scale in terms of the world, but a bigger scale when it came to the battles. This approach seemed to allow for being able to dig deeper into the conflict, resulting in a mu...[Read More]

When the iconic “SEGA” is heard or the Green Hill Zone music rushes back into one’s mind, memories of speed and a blue blur are undoubtedly accompanying those thoughts and, in many cases including my own, trigger an im...[Read More]
