Layers of Fear 2 (Xbox One) Review
Layers of Fear 2 is frustrating. By all accounts, it is precisely the sort of game that should take root in my subconscious to haunt and delight my thoughts.

Hammer and pistol in hand, Vasily stretches his tired bones prepared for one last shot...[Read More]
Year of Gears touted by Dom Santiago Voice Actor
Arguably the second biggest franchise under the Xbox belt, Gears of War has been rather hit or miss among many players since Gears of War: Judgement, the more or less expansion of Gears of War 3, starring the mouthy Baird. After that release, we got the next numbered entry, Gears of War 4, but this time development was performed by The Coalition. Gears 4 did well enough, scoring above 80% on OpenC...[Read More]

My Hero: One’s Justice (Xbox One) Review
I had only played a handful of arena fighters before this year. I do enjoy 3D fighters like Soul Calibur (I recently reviewed Soul Calibur VI) and Tekken, but arena fighters never quite clicked with me.Fast forward to the release of My Hero: One’s Justice, which is a 3D arena fighter based on the popular manga and anime series and I may have found one that I truly connect with. Does this title hit...[Read More]

Kingdom Hearts 3 Review – A Mess of Assorted Pieces
A scattered dream that’s like a far-off memory; a far-off memory that’s like a scattered dream. I want to line the pieces up, yours and mine.

Final Fantasy Games Hitting Switch with FFIX Out Now
Let me take you back to the end of the 90s for just a bit. TVs had yet to go flat in most rural households. DLC wasn’t a thing. Many of our favorite games came on a disc or several. Around this time I fell in love with the PlayStation and its collection of beautifully rendered cutscenes and long-form fantasy epics. I devoured everything that I could about Final Fantasy (which I hadn’t ...[Read More]
