Langrisser I & II Review
One of the problems with long-standing series is that there isn’t an easy way to visit the original titles. In a lot of cases, the original games were simply good for the time and/or more of a relic of the past than something worth playing in the modern age. This was a common problem with a lot...
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...
Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection Review
Gaming, unlike a lot of hobbies, relates heavily to time. No matter how many times a number of games are ported, a good number of early titles might as well be forgotten. For others, they got their moment in the sun but for one reason or another that moment has passed and they’re left in the...
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...
Dreams Review
What made LittleBigPlanet special wasn’t the idea, as much as the execution. The idea of making a game, or honestly even an experience, built around creating said experience wasn’t new, but the amount of time, effort and charm was unmatched. For this reason players have eagerly been awaiting...
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...
Darksiders Genesis (Xbox One) Review
The Darksiders series has always been underrated ever since the first game in the series came out for last generation hardware back in 2010. After ten years, we now have three main games plus a spinoff called Darksiders Genesis. The latter game is now out this year for consoles, but is it a worthy...
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,...
Patapon 2 Remastered Review
Console exclusives are great until you lose the ability to easily play those games. This is why things like backward compatibility and ports are handy. Now a number of games that might’ve been forgotten can find new life on a different platform or with a new set of gamers. In cases like Gravity...
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...
AO Tennis 2 Review
The first AO Tennis game released in 2018 did not have a hot start. The game was released first to New Zealand and Australian gamers and the game was buggy and broken at launch. It wasn’t until the game’s release overseas did the game get much better with numerous new content added plus...
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore Review
Despite poor sales, Nintendo Wii U had a surprisingly good number of games. This is why players are so welcoming to the Nintendo Switch ports. For many, this is their first real chance to experience a number of amazing experiences. The downside to this is, there will always be games stuck in the...
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...
Best Xbox Game of 2019 - Gears 5
There were a lot of games released in 2019, although sadly only a few of them were Xbox One exclusives. That being said, one big Xbox One game didn't disappoint and that game was none other than Gears 5. The only other major Xbox One exclusive that came out this year was Crackdown 3. Crackdown 3...
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...
Star Ocean: First Departure R Review
Star Ocean started its journey on the Super Famicom over two decades ago. Since then the first game has found its way on the PSP in 2008 and now again on the PlayStation 4 and Switch. Given the limited nature, a number of players have yet to experience Star Ocean, so is Star Ocean: First Departure...
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Review
Following the abysmal reception of Star Wars Battlefront II, fans have been questioning what kind of future Star Wars would have in EA’s control. When Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was revealed, fans were hopeful that these mistakes were in the past. Given Respawn’s involvement and a number of...
Monkey King: Hero Is Back Review
Monkey King: Hero Is Back is a new action RPG adventure game released this year for the PC and PS4 platforms. The game is based on a popular Chinese animated film of the same name. It’s not a very popular property in the West, but this English dub version of the game has been released and it’s...
TOKYO GHOUL:re CALL to EXIST Review
Where anime games struggle is finding a balance between including a lot of content and being satisfying. This is why very few of them are considered must play but even the worst game has value to the community. Be it One Piece or some of the more niche series, these games are generally made with...
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...
