Grant Gaines

Hey, my name is Grant and I'm the managing editor and main reviewer at Just Push Start. If there is one thing I've learned over the past 20+ years, it's good games come in various shapes and sizes, so I'm always excited to try something new, even if I'm not that good at it. If you like what I do, have any comments or just want to get ahold of me, send a message to Admiralvic.

HyperX Pulsefire Dart Review

When it comes to PC gaming accessories, there are a lot of things to consider. Unlike consoles, where a pro controller can maximize things through an attractive layout, every game is set up a little differently and, as a result, this can influence your choices. For keyboards it could be adding or...

Mu6 Space 2 Review

Back when I first started selling home theater equipment, I quickly learned expectations did not match reality and a big name didn’t instantly mean high quality. As a result, a lot of people flock to high price or lower quality models just because it has a familiar name on it. This is especially...

Borderlands 3 - Guns, Love and Tentacles Review

Among the many things Borderlands 3 did right was the way they handled Wainwright Jakobs and Sir Alistair Hammerlock’s relationship. As the story progressed you could tell the two were getting closer and that there was an air of there being a relationship but it isn’t played up to be a big...

Control - The Foundation Review

There are so many reasons Control proved to be a great game. Inventive combat, weird enemies and a good understanding of how to make a mystery box story work. And while we resolved Jesse Faden’s main story arc, there is still plenty of things going on in Control that the DLC seemingly wants to...

DOOM Eternal Review

In gaming, there are a couple of franchises that, when you hear the name, provide instant value. As time progresses, a number of franchises have created lackluster sequels, pointless spin-offs, needless changes and in some cases just desperately trying to make a buck by using the name on...

HyperX Alloy Origins (HyperX Aqua Switch) Review

As gaming continues to grow, we’re hitting a point where this is endless items with the gaming brand. Each promise better performance, interesting features, a wide array of benefits and so much more than it makes it difficult as you go down the rabbit hole. While gaming headsets can be...

Nioh 2 Review

Ever since Demon’s Souls proved a difficult game can be successful, a number of developers have attempted to capture the same success. Lords of the Fallen and to a lesser degree The Surge, prove that it’s more than just making giving characters stamina, realistic mechanics and enemies that do...

Granblue Fantasy: Versus Review

There is a lot of different kind of spin-offs. Sometimes companies rely on them as a way to increase the success of a project they have no faith in and other times it’s about reaching a new demographic. Granblue Fantasy: Versus is the latter type. With characters fans are familiar with, Arc...

HyperX Cloud Flight S Headset Review

Over the years gaming headsets have remained largely stagnate. Most of the differences stem from sound quality, how it implements wireless, whether or not it has 7.1 or WavesNx technology and things of the like. For this reason I’ve been a big fan of HyperX’s new line of S products. Similar to...

Bayonetta & Vanquish 10th Anniversary Bundle Review

Remasters and ports typically center on two types of games. Either the title is so massively popular bringing it back is a win for most people or it’s viewed as a second chance for success. Seeing Bayonetta return is far from surprising. All things considered, it sold fairly well, got ported to...

Zombie Army 4: Dead War - 10 Tips to Survive

If you're a trophy/achievement hunter, then you know going in you're eventually going to need to overcome hard and 20 waves of hoard mode in Zombie Army 4: Dead War. While it is inevitable, it can still be an intimidating thing, especially in a game that is all about overwhelming and causing...

SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless Headset Review

Over the years the idea of a gaming headset has changed a lot. Originally it was a fancy chat mic that eventually evolved into headphones with a decent quality or better mic. Right now the big thing for casual gamers isn’t sound or mic performance as much as versatility, the ability...

Zombie Army 4: Dead War Review

Sometimes games overthink the core concept. Some of the most enjoyable games I’ve played this generation, be it Enter the Gungeon or LawBreakers, were simply things I had fun with. This is the prevailing mentality in Zombie Army 4: Dead War. Here Rebellion isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel,...

Arc of Alchemist - Power Level Guide

While there is no quick way to get the Greatest Expedition Unit trophy in Arc of Alchemist, there is an easy way to get it. Once you complete your adventure you should be somewhere in the 60 to 70 range, at which point you'll undoubtedly notice that experience slows to a crawl. Most bosses...

Arc of Alchemist - How to Build your Base

In Arc of Alchemist no mechanic is more important than building your base. This dictates which weapons, armor, accessories, costumes, abilities and even the extent that you can increase a character stats. For a system so vital to your success and in a game with arguably too many tutorials, it's...

Arc of Alchemist Review

This past couple of months we’ve seen a good number of games get delayed. Many popular, some not so much, but among the many titles was Arc of Alchemist. For many a six or so month delay would be cause for alarm, but developers are seemingly putting more effort towards releasing a quality...

Arc of Alchemist - True End Guide

Regardless of how much you may or may not love RPGs, true ends can be frustrating. Sometimes they involve very specific choices, other times they're impossible unless you go out of your way and every now and then you just need to do something specific. Given Arc of Alchemist gives you a lot of...

Journey to the Savage Planet - No Refunds / Screw This Noise Trophy/Achievement Guide

One of the most intimidating and annoying trophy/achievements in Journey to the Savage Planet is No Refunds. Having to beat any game in a set amount of time can be tricky and four hours seems like a terribly difficult achievement. Thankfully, it really isn't so bad as long as you ignore the main...

HyperX Announces a Number of Exciting Products at CES 2020

With people planning their 2020 purchases, HyperX announced a number of exciting new products for the year. These include, but are not limited to, a wireless charging headset, new mouse and mousepad, keyboard and more listed below: HyperX Cloud Flight™ S – A wireless headset offering up...

LucidSound LS50X Snoop Dogg Edition Review

When LucidSound announced the LS50X at last year’s E3, I was both surprised and worried. For a while LucidSound has been a bang for your buck company, a quality that is great at low to mid-tier, but matters less in regard to high end. Still, the LS50X retained much of what made LucidSound so...

Dead End Job Review

Procedurally generated games are popular, since they’re a relatively low effort way to add a lot of replayability. Games like Enter the Gungeon used this to find a lot of success and following in those footsteps is Dead End Job. The main appeal is less the dynamic nature of the game and more the...

Untitled Goose Game Review

If there is one lesson you should have learned from Regular Show, it’s that Geese are jerks. This is the core concept behind Untitled Goose Game and one it does fairly well. Coupled with a lowkey name, simple graphics and rather basic tasks, a number of gamers insist it rises above the sum of...

Fight'N Rage Review

Some of the best games find success in taking a basic idea and adding to it. For instance, the idea behind Sonic was essentially just fast Mario, yet it was enough to create a franchise that stood the test of time. One unfortunate thing is, despite having so many advancements, it isn’t uncommon...

LucidSound LS1 Premium Chat Headset

Initially gaming headsets were designed with chat in mind. Eventually this evolved into something closer to normal headphones and today they do all kinds of neat things like Waves Nx or Super X-Fi technology. While that is great for anyone looking for a more immersive experience, sometimes people...
